Free Kiehl's Shave Cream! Run, Don't Walk

Filed under: Men

Hey, dudes! Kiehl's really wants you to ditch that rusty can of 99-cent shaving foam and try its super soothing, skin softening Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream. To make the transition effortless, from May 29 - June 7, the stores are doing a shave swap!

All you have to do is bring your old shaving cream can (4 oz. or more) -- you know the one that's leaving a permanent ring on the side of the tub -- to a freestanding Kiehl's store (find locations here), where you can trade it in for a free 5 oz. tube of the awesome cream. Talk about a free upgrade!

Plus, you'll get three skin care samples suited to your skin type. Kiehl's samples are larger than most and ideal for traveling, so it's a pretty sweet deal all around.

P.S. Ladies, you can swipe your man's can and trade it in on his behalf. (Getting him to shave, that's all you!)

Mow Your Lawn - The Schick Bikini Razor Commercials

Filed under: Hair Care

Check out these two different commercials for the new Schick Quattro Trimstyle Razor & Bikini Trimmer. Thanks to the power of YouTube, the viral version, which was originally released in Europe, is causing a stir with American audiences. The TV Spot, which is equally edgy, just a little less "obvious" is showing in America and Europe.

A little background: The Trimstyle features a razor on one end, a trimmer on the other, and is geared towards the special needs of the bikini line. It's a first-of-its-kind product and needless to say, given the subject matter, there's lots opportunity for fun here, which the commercials certainly take advantage of ...

What do you think? Is the viral version way cooler, or does it border on inappropriate? And is the TV spot more glamorous, or a total snooze compared to the online version? Vote in our poll and leave a comment below.

Which commercial is better?



Commercials aside, I've been using the Schick Quattro Trimstyle Razor & Bikini Trimmer (average retail price $10.99) since the product's launch event a few months ago, and gotta say, I totally heart it.

Style Lies. Shaving makes hair thicker.

Filed under: Style Lies


Though it's a very good observation Sherlock, shaving does not make hair come in thicker, wider, or darker.

Let's rewind. Hair is wider at the base than at the tip. So when you shave, you are cutting it off mid-point, exposing the wider end. Hence, the wider, darker appearance.

"Stubbles" often feel like they are wider than the hair we've just shaved because they are coarse to the touch and stick out like a sore thumb against those with paler skin. But let it be known that shaving does not alter the width, thickness or color of your hair.

If you do noticed odd growth, sometimes medicine, hormones, genetics, and illness can play a role. See your Doc.

While watching the Sex and the City movie last month, we were reminded of the importance of bikini line maintenance. So we started thinking, what are the best ways to keep your bikini line smooth and in control?

We have our own opinions about waxing, shaving, electrolysis and laser hair removal, but we want to know what YOU think. Please tell us in the comments some of your best practices for keeping your bikini line well maintained for swimsuit season.

Gessato: Italian for your face

Filed under: Accessories, Men, Skin Care


To refer to Gessato's shaving treatment as shaving cream would be like calling gelato an ice cream. It ain't right.

Sure, gelato and ice cream are both made with milk and sugar, but... oh, sorry.

Gessato, as a company, is "Italian artisanship with modern formulations." This means that they make and market their products "in the United States with an Italian sensibility for time-hewn craftsmanship, quality and attention to detail."

Shave without water

Filed under: Men, Skin Care


Ok, we haven't checked the ingredients label on the back of this Bold For Men Dry Shave Gel, but it's probably not all that organic or eco-chic. In fact, whatever they put in it to be able to shave your face without a drop of water is obviously highly unnatural, or even supernatural. Still, we think it's cool to get a close shave without all the mess -- even though it's got to be a little intimidating the first time around.

The transparent gel protects against nicks and razor-burn while also letting you see what you're doing, so you don't end up plowing patches of your face over and over. Ginger root and tea tree oil helps to soothe you mug, if you've got an herbal fetish. Overall, we say the dry shave is one of the two most optimal shaving routines. You either want quick, clean and easy, or you want to go old school with the brush and straight razor -- none of that halfway junk.

This stuff might make a good Father's Day gift.

Rolling Razor: Shaving (r)evolved

Filed under: Accessories, Men, Skin Care


We shave. You shave. We all shave for, um, the acceptance of society? We're not sure why we're forced to shave, but we know it itches if we don't. Plus we look a bit like Lon Chaney, Jr., if we ignore it too long. It's the hair gene (that's science) and it's our curse. Damn dirty apes.

Until recently there weren't a lot of options in razors. There were straight, stem, disposable, electric and laser cat. Some choices have proven more popular than others.

Enter the two-headed dragon. The Rolling Razor slips on and off fingers easier than a wedding ring in Vegas. So we've heard.

$150 razor lets you shave in the dark

Filed under: Men


As Gillette and Schick continue to battle it out, creating razors with increasingly higher blade counts -- until one day we'll have razors that look at the hair, talk to the hair, ask the hair out for coffee, and then get to know its parents before finally hacking it off -- one of them has finally returned to inventing something useful. Kind of. The new Gillette Fusion Chrome Collection Power Razor comes with five blades, "micro-pulses" (read: it vibrates), and has a flashlight.

Just in time for bikini season: DIY laser hair removal

Filed under: Skin Care


Laser hair removal is hugely popular, and with bikini season approaching faster than a skeezy guy with suntanning oil approaching a lone, busty babe at the beach, the popularity of getting unwanted hair zapped is only increasing.

Fortunately, for those of you who are interested in laser hair removal but don't have the time, money, or desire to visit a specialist's office to have the procedure done, there will soon be some at-home options.

Hommage takes shaving to a different level

Filed under: Haute Home, Accessories, Style in the News, Men, Skin Care



Yes, Hommage takes shaving to a different level, and by level I mean income bracket. I have no doubt that a shave with one of their products would be incredible, but seeing as the razors and kits range from $200 to $6,500 there is a good chance I will never know for certain.

Shave Face

Filed under: Men, Skin Care

Smell like Danny Divito!I'm nothing if not sensitive. I cry every time I watch Rudy. I've downloaded a couple of songs from One Republic. I've even ordered iced-coffee. My point is that I have a tender side and I embrace it.

That's why when it comes to my most sensitive area (besides my feelings) I make sure to buy a product that treats it with the love and respect it deserves. I'm talking about my face. Basin Brand Shave Cream ($14.99) is smooth and light yet protects with the best of them. It's made with a collection of oils, seeds and waxes, most I've never heard of, and not only fights through tough beards but moisturizes the poor skin hiding underneath.

The cream now comes in a "heavenly" lemon lime scent which makes you come out of the bathroom smelling like you were downing shots of limoncello, which I was.
