Shaving with a straight razor is a slow, meticulous process. Weight distribution on your single blade is everything, setting you up for the best end result possible. There’s nothing worse than missing hairs and snagging stragglers on a shaving cream-less face on your second time around

Enter the new Angle Razor, designed by the London-based agency Morrama, sports a manly, machined aluminum handle that delivers as much power on your bathroom counter as it does in your hand. With an optimal balance point at the thumb and forefinger, this straight razoe allows you to perform longer strokes while boosting your shaving precision.

Morrama’s inspiration for this minimalist design began as an ode to the ceremony of shaving. The Angle Razor packs everything you would expect to find with a traditional straight razor, but with a few additional perks to bring the benefits and brawniness of old school tradition into the science-enhanced era of the 21st century.

The razor is compatible with almost any affordable, disposable single blade. Unless someone invents a new standardized double-edged blade tomorrow, this Angle Razor is built to last you a lifetime. No subscriptions, no monthly deliveries, no payments — strictly shaving.

The Angle Razor is available for pre-order on Kickstarter in anodized black or silver finishes, with or without a matching stand, as well as an awesome enamel mug. The campaign has far surpassed its original fundraising goal, so customers can expect product delivery in June 2018.

While the summer tends to bring a flurry of citrusy and airy fragrances for men, that doesn’t mean you have to wait for fall to get a woodsy scent. Although darker and woodier fragrances pair well with the colder months, there are still summer colognes out there that are perfect for the everyday outdoorsman. One of the more recent fragrances to follow this path comes from the luxury brand, Montblanc. Known for their luxurious approach to the outdoors and timeless watches, the brand is also home to many must-have scents. As part of their Explorer series, the new Montblanc fragrance is richer and poignant, making it a statement addition to their cologne lineup. While the series was only released in 2019, this latest iteration feels unlike anything they’ve developed before.

Showering is essential to grooming — and hygiene, really. You also likely know to wash your scalp and locks with a shampoo and conditioner that helps you meet your goals. However, you can follow all the "good pair day" best practices, like not heat styling too much, and still find that your mane feels gunky, dull, and brittle.

There's a chance hard water is raining on your parade and making bad hair days a daily event. Luckily, some hard water hair care tips can help you treat — and better yet, prevent — hard water. Yet, backing up, you may not think of water as "hard" or "soft." If you do think about it, you might consider the essential liquid "soft."

Baz Luhrmann's song and speech reminded us to "always wear sunscreen." While the drumbeat around safe sun protection (and enjoyment) reaches a fever pitch in the spring and summer months — a time of more daylight and outdoor fun — dermatologists share that slathering on SPF is a year-round must. The grocery store and pharmacy have many options from brands you may have used in childhood.

The best sunscreen can vary, but ultimately, the rule of thumb is that "the best sunscreen is the one you’ll actually use," said Viktoryia Kazlouskaya, MD, Ph.D.,  a dermatologist.
