TRESemmé, L’Oreal, Pantene. Three staple names in the world of shampoo and haircare, but what do they all have in common? They’re predominantly, if not entirely, made for women’s hair. Schwarzkopf and John Frieda could probably fall into the same boat, though I’m told they’re not as popular. Then we have the gender neutral Aussie, […]
We’re a big fan of British brand Salt Grooming: premium grooming products with raw, natural ingredients from the earth. Certified organic. Sustainably sourced. Paraben-free. Made in Britain. Need we say more? So when we heard about their second product being launched – Marine Mist Salt Spray – we made sure we grabbed bottle. Following the […]

I’ll be honest: the hair clippers almost came out this week. My locks during lockdown have certainly become more feral than refined, so the temptation for a buzz cut has never been more contemplated. However, I decided to dive into the abundance of hair products on the market to see what could tame my mane, […]
I was asked recently if I’d be interested in sampling a new shaving product – I didn’t know the brand, or exactly what would arrive. If we’re honest, there have been a plethora of men’s shaving products on the market in the last few years; some great, and well, some that promise to improve your […]
When our friends at Acqua di Parma have something to announce our ears always prick up and we’ve just been informed that the Colonie universe is expanding with a new fragrance, Colonia Futura. It was released exclusively with John Lewis on the 6th August so this really is hot off the press. The latest addition […]
We get it, some of us have been getting a little too comfortable at home. Perhaps we’re not burning as many calories as we should, the iron is collecting dust and the refrigerator looks more at home in an off-licence. One aspect of our lives that should never be neglected is our skincare. None of […]
I was reunited with Bamford products after its inclusion within the Gentleman’s Journal Grooming awards where I was one of the judges again this year. It was the Sport Range that took the spotlight, made up of a trio of men’s essentials designed to refresh, re-invigorate and enhance recovery around sport and exercise. The branding for the […]
I recently had the pleasure of helping judge the Gentleman’s Journal 2020 Grooming Awards. As with previous years, most of the brands included were staple names of the grooming world but in the Skincare category I was introduced to Neem Face Mask by Shiro which turned out to be the winner in that category (including taking […]

For all you chappers out there who choose to have shaving as part of their morning routine and are set on maintaining stubble-free look, I’ve got to ask the question; does your skin not take a battering? Day after day, performing acutely measured razor strokes on almost bare skin must cause some serious wear and […]
It’s safe to say that in the world of men’s grooming, changes have been coming thick and fast for the last decade. We’ve undergone (and are still experiencing) a revolution whereby an increasing number of gents are showing more care towards their facial grooming and skincare. First came the wave of hair products, followed by facial moisturisers, oils and balms, often specifically […]
There was a time when most, if not all gents, donned a similar haircut, no matter their hair type, colour or face shape. A relatively short comb over was the norm. Yet, over a period of time, external influences such as the military, new attitudes towards styling and adventurous celebrities and stylists alike have come […]
We must profess to knowing a fair bit about grooming products, and we of course probably should. It’s also fair to say that once you look into the world of male grooming products, there seems to be an overwhelming amount of brands with countless product offerings, which become confusing. It’s a complex world, working out […]
