What if we told you there was a magical food that both tasted amazing and would make your beard grow super thick and long? If you ate it people would comment on your beard everywhere you went and beard modeling contract offers would fill your inbox. Well, unfortunately, we haven’t found that food…yet. However, if you find it, please email us. Although a lot of hair and beard growth can depend on your age and the genetics your parents passed on to you at birth (long before you even considered growing an epic beard!), there are some changes you can...

With Valentine’s approaching we thought it would be helpful to talk about date night prep. We all know the success of a date starts with the connection between the two people sharing the date.

However, the way you look and smell on date night is totally within your control. This is where we come in. This, my friend, is what we do. All day. Every day. Our number one goal is to make...

We’re committed to it. And shipping is free when you spend $40. Now that you know you can avoid lines, weak apologies for postponed shipping, and the...

I moustache you a question. What is the meaning of No Shave November or Movember? What Causes do Movember and No Shave November Support? Did you know the movement started, solely, as an effort to raise awareness for men’s health? In fact, the first organized event was held in Australia in 2003 to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancers. The first participants grew mustaches and coined the term "Movember". Who doesn’t love growing a solid handlebar mustache for the health and welfare of all men?Since then the movement (and facial hair) has grown worldwide. Now millions of men are...

All good reasons to learn how to use it.Think back to a time you noticed a cologne or perfume that caught your attention. Maybe it was someone you were dating. Maybe it was someone you wanted to date. Maybe it was an attractive stranger. Maybe it was simply too strong.   I imagine you were able to conjure...

With so much being out of control in the world, the old adage goes: Focus on what you can control: Your attitude, your reactions, your actions.But how exactly do you do that?One philosophy we are leaning on right now is the idea of developing your own powerful, internal guide. We’re talking about becoming more “self-reliant” — not in a “I’m going to build my own log cabin” kind of way, but, rather in a metaphysical way.
