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.

Men with curls: Here’s how to finally get the haircut that works for you

Embrace your curls, and you'll enter a whole new world of styles

Man with long hair and glasses

For the most part, we live in a straight-hair world. Personally, this has never been an issue for me — while I am follicly challenged, my hair has always been reasonably well-behaved. The occasional stray curl pops up at the end of a strand when I grow it out, but I never faced the challenges that men with curls often have to confront.
These challenges can feel formidable. Curls can be unruly and hard to tame, and that might seem like a limitation. But the reality is very much the opposite — there are plenty of great-looking choices, provided you know what you want, get a great barber or stylist, and arm yourself with a little knowledge.

As men’s grooming standards continue to change, attitudes toward hair coloring are quickly shifting as well. Younger men are more open to experimenting with coloring, and their elders are making some intriguing changes, too.
For older men, though, it’s not exactly about coloring. The quest to ward off gray hair is a never-ending battle, and they’re learning a new trick in the coloring game that women have known about for years — roots touch-ups.

MasterClass skincare series

If you’re looking to establish or enhance your skincare routine, relevant information isn’t hard to find. Dozens of companies are incorporating it into their approach, and a significant portion of what they present and cover has value, even if it’s mostly product-oriented and biased.
But getting comprehensive skin health info is an entirely different matter. As someone who’s constantly on the hunt for accurate information that’s easy to access, digest, and absorb, I can testify firsthand that it’s a lot harder than it looks.
Which is why the new MasterClass series on skin health should definitely be on your watchlist. It’s a “must-see” series that will increase your skin health knowledge and improve your skincare routine.
