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 […]
We’ve been on the hunt for low cost products that will help you with day-to-day with grooming maintenance. I’ll get straight into it, the Braun 9-in-1 kit, is what we believe to be best complete grooming solution on the market under £50 (probably under £100).

Over the last fortnight, I have been trialing some teeth whitening products from Billion Dollar Smile which promises an easy and gentle solution to achieve an Instagram worthy smile. I have been looking at different teeth whitening options for some time and thus far been skeptical about going to the dentist for a full-whitening for […]
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. […]
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. […]
