Whilst the sun continues to shine in London, I’ve been trialling a sun care product from MALIN+GOETZ. The SPF 30 – High Protection is a fairly new addition to the brands skin care range and I started using it over the last seven days to replace my morning face moisturiser. The main difference to standard […]
‘Real men don’t use moisturiser.’ This is what I’m told. A real man, you know, a son of Adam, allows his skin to wear naturally and turn into what can only be described as elephant hide. It sounds ridiculous but for a large proportion of chaps out there, facial care is seen as feminine and emasculating. […]
In this day and age, us Chappers are constantly bombarded with scents, infusions and products of alchemy, each with their own overly-dramatic marketing story. Fragrances have become as much a nuisance as they have a necessity. So, when you find yourself a fragrance that you really like, hold on to it… We are very fond of the […]
When it comes to British Dapper Chappers, Dermot O’Leary is pretty near the top of the tree.

Chappers, do you have a trusted barber whom you visit not just for a quality grooming experience, but an entertaining chin-wag and a cup of coffee (or something stronger)? The kind of barber that knows your lid like the back of their hand, and understands the balance between what you want and what’s best for your […]
Chappers, grooming matters; whenever, or wherever you hear otherwise, ignore it, because grooming truly matters. Whether you shave every morning without fail, allow yourself a cheeky five o’clock shadow, or have indulged in some form of beard growth, it’s important to ensure you’re 100% behind your chosen look. Unfortunately, achieving optimal grooming levels isn’t as […]
OK, so picture this: You’ve just flown a few hours across the Med, seated next to some annoying chatterbox, experienced a hold-up at airport security, endured an unorganised and very un-British taxi queue, and then had a taxi driver who made the airplane chatterbox seem like a saint…Now you’re finally in your hotel room ready to […]
Chappers, when it comes to travel, it’s all about packing light and packing right…Keep your baggage lightweight, plan in advance and for god’s sake, check the weather forecast! Finally we can say with some confidence that we’re approaching spring, and after the weather we’ve had I understand if you are struggling to make the mental transition. […]
If, like me, your Japanese is limited, you may not have come across the term ‘kaizen’. It’s a Japanese philosophy of improvement and change for the better, occurring through small shifts and alterations day after day. Overtime it brings about a complete transformation. Now you may be wondering why that is in any way relevant […]

We were approached again to try another of their creations, this time, an extreme hold, high shine pomade under the moniker […]
When the time comes to get a hair cut, beard trim, or both, gents usually head to their familiar and trusty barber for a friendly chinwag and a fresh look. This usually results in you leave feeling killer (If it doesn’t then what are you doing?), knowing your mane has been tamed and you’re looking sleek. However, I challenge […]
We’re already fans of what Refinery have on offer, and if you’ve previously taken our advice, you’d have dabbled with their creations too. Still, with so many brands out there and only so many faces in the office, it can prove challenging to get time to try everything, I know, first world problems hey? So […]
