Recently, I was listening to Handcut Radio with Aleks Cetovic. - [Should You Wear an Undershirt?](https://tailorandbarber.com/should-you-wear-an-undershirt/) - I regret to inform everyone, but I have become an undershirt guy. Ever since Clark Gable took off his dress shirt revealing only skin underneath (very unusual for the time) in Frank Capra’s romantic comedy “It Happened One Night” (which you should absolutely watch), wearing an undershirt has been considered uncool. There are even rumors - [What Underwear Do I Wear?](https://tailorandbarber.com/what-underwear-do-i-wear/) - Over the past few months (and for probably even longer), I’ve been trying to figure out what the best underwear for me is.

Boxer briefs are alway too long in - [Black Friday 2020 Sales](https://tailorandbarber.com/black-friday-2020-sales/) - I’m really torn over Black Friday. On one hand, I’m against the idea of buying something simply because “it’s a good price”. Closets are full of clothes bought on sale they their owners never wear. On the other hand, though, I love the idea of adding value to one's wardrobe when the opportunity presents itself. - [Men's Style Lessons to Take from The Crown](https://tailorandbarber.com/mens-style-lessons-to-take-from-the-crown/) - The long wait is over.

Shaving is a sensory experience. The feeling of the blade just barely scraping the surface of my skin, the precision of finishing off the tough spots, and of course, the scent - [Fall Menswear Essentials for 2020](https://tailorandbarber.com/fall-menswear-essentials-for-2020/) - What is it about this time of year that gets those sartorial juices flowing. Is it the layering? Is it the textures? Is it the ease of adding some new style? I think men want to dress well in fall partially for those reasons, but also because of the temperatures. Many men (including myself) have - [Instagram Round-Up for the Week of October 12](https://tailorandbarber.com/instagram-round-up-for-the-week-of-october-12/) - I really am the worst blogger. I spend so much time stressing over getting my Instagram posts up, and then I never tell you anything about what I’m wearing. It’s tough. I really struggle with fighting against the quick hit of a “like” or a “retweet” that I don’t put enough effort into the one - [A Tale of Four Oxford Button Down Shirts](https://tailorandbarber.com/a-tale-of-four-oxford-button-down-shirts/) - October is here.

Too many cleansers either strip away every so that all I’m left with is a face that feels like I just stared at the open ark of the covenant or they are too gentle which leads to breakouts which I’m trying to avoid in the first place. Lumin - [The State of Menswear Today](https://tailorandbarber.com/the-state-of-menswear-today/) - In July 2007, a television show debuted that would change the face of menswear forever. I don't think one can overstate how important “Mad Men” was to the world of men’s style. For the first time in a generation, men saw how good they could look in a suit, and, more importantly, they bought in. - [I'm Here to Convince You to Shave Your Pubic Hair.](https://tailorandbarber.com/im-here-to-convince-you-to-shave-your-pubic-hair/) - Let’s talk about something most guys don’t want to talk about, but from my SEO keyword research, it seems like a lot of you are googling: whether or not to shave your pubic hair. It’s a relatively new trend for guys, so I can see why there would be some confusion and hesitation. I remember - [The Monk Strap Is Dead, Long Live Double Monk Strap Shoes](https://tailorandbarber.com/the-monk-strap-is-dead-long-live-double-monk-strap-shoes/) - *Beckett Simonon provided the double monk strap shoes featured in this post* A few years ago, you couldn’t swing a stick without hitting a pair of double monk strap shoes.

While this is obviously a step backwards for the brand, I think this could also be quite an opportunity - [Where Do We Go from Here?](https://tailorandbarber.com/where-do-we-go-from-here/) - It’s been over a month since I’ve posted anything on the blog or social media. The death of George Floyd, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the continuation of the COVID-19 crisis hit me pretty hard. I have a hard time trying to understand people who can’t see the systemic racism and people who don’t - [My Cheaney Mid-Season Sale Picks](https://tailorandbarber.com/my-cheaney-mid-season-sale-picks/) - It is no surprise that now is a great time for at-home shopping, if you have the means. Brands are offering a variety of deals and promotions to keep sales up.

Even - [Brands That Are Helping During the Coronavirus Outbreak](https://tailorandbarber.com/brands-that-are-helping-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak/) - I’m sure most of you are familiar with Mr. Roger’s lesson of “look for the helpers”. It is an eloquent way of searching for light in the darkness. Certainly, during this coronavirus outbreak, the world seems a little dark.

I don’t need to wear a restrictive button-up shirt underneath if I don’t want to. Even when I do, I leave the top button unbuttoned. I can even escape the choking neck tie if I want to. Of course, the more I wear ties, - [Weekend Reading: Sweaters, Shoe Shines, and Cigars](https://tailorandbarber.com/weekend-reading-sweaters-shoe-shines-and-cigars/) - It has been a rough couple of weeks.

In fact, I've - [Casual Fall Style](https://tailorandbarber.com/casual-fall-style/) - Mondays are my casual days.

It’s versatile, flattering, and virtually always appropriate. Unfortunately, I don’t think most men share my opinion. I think for most guys, the suit is intimidating, excessive, and suitable (pun intended) only for weddings and funerals. I’m here to tell - [The Best of Ralph Lauren Fall 2019](https://tailorandbarber.com/the-best-of-ralph-lauren-fall-2019/) - A few days ago a “moment” on Twitter caught my eye.

I run hot, and am forever looking forward to - [How to Style the Beckett Simonon Black Valencia Wholecuts](https://tailorandbarber.com/how-to-style-the-beckett-simonon-black-valencia-wholecuts/) - *Disclosure: Beckett Simonon provided the Valencia for this post. My opinions are my own.* There is a counterintuitive rule in menswear, which usually holds true. The less adorned something is, the more formal that piece becomes.

Yes, there are tails, white - [Just Wear the Suit](https://tailorandbarber.com/just-wear-the-suit/) - I spent last week alone at home with just the three dogs while everyone else was at camp or on vacation down the shore.

Like, what does real life style look like. I think for most guys it doesn’t include $4000 custom suits, bespoke shoes, and Audemars Piguet watches.

Suitsupply’s - [Let It Wrinkle](https://tailorandbarber.com/let-it-wrinkle/) - We live in a world of non-iron and easy-iron; a world with perfectly flat fabric and too crisp creases. It reminds me of the movie “The Matrix”. The first world the machines created were too perfect. The humans rejected it. That’s how I feel about the wrinkleless world in which we find ourselves today. It - [My Picks from The Rake End of Season Sale](https://tailorandbarber.com/my-picks-from-the-rake-end-of-season-sale/) - If you’re following any of the same men’s style accounts on Instagram that I am, your entire feed is currently dominated by Pitti Oumo 96.

Still, other times I have found - [Travel with Galen Leather](https://tailorandbarber.com/travel-with-galen-leather/) - For a decent portion on the world, the holiday season is quickly approaching.

When the holiday season does hit, one aspect that is impossibly unavoidable for many people - [Geo. F. Trumper Spanish Leather Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/geo-f-trumper-spanish-leather-review/) - I remember getting my hair cut once, and when I was done I spent a few minutes (ok, like a half hour!) looking over their collection of men’s grooming and wet shaving products for sale. As I noticed a grouping of products with a scent described as Spanish Leather, my barber told me, “My wife - [Instagram Round-Up, October 5th](https://tailorandbarber.com/instagram-round-up-october-5th/) - I've been trying to get better at putting the details from Instagram posts on the blog, but I'm not sure if doing it after every post is the right thing to do. I think if I were to focus on just that, I wouldn't have any time to write any other types of posts like - [Hopsack and Sockless](https://tailorandbarber.com/hopsack-and-sockless/) - So I ran a poll today on Instagram regarding the way I provide product information about my outfits and shaves that I post. Lately, I've been using the LiketoKnow.it platform, which, until recently, would deliver an email with all the products linked if you "liked" that post. Unfortunately, now you have to sign up, download - [Clarins' Mens Skincare Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/clarins-mens-skincare-review/) - I have somewhat difficult skin. I mean, I’m very fortunate that I don't have terrible acne or eczema or another skin condition. That’s a far worse situation than what I’m dealing with. So take what I have to say with a grain of salt, and I should probably just be grateful. But I’m always looking - [Getting Back to Basics for Fall Style](https://tailorandbarber.com/getting-back-to-basics-for-fall-style/) - I really fell off this summer. I stopped going to the gym. I stopped meditating. I stopped writing as much. This was partly due to that summer lull that hits all of us, party due to the kids being off school and having less time on my own, partly do to depression and anxiety, partly - [Indian Fashion, Happy Suits, and Chief Brody](https://tailorandbarber.com/indian-fashion-happy-suits-and-chief-brody/) - Oh man.

I think high-quality - [Sephora Insider Event Picks for Men](https://tailorandbarber.com/sephora-insider-event-picks-for-men/) - I think when most men think about Sephora, they picture rows and rows of make-up, women’s grooming products, and an experience that seems quite intimidating. Surprisingly, Sephora also carries a fair amount of men’s grooming, fragrance, and skin care products. All it takes is a quick venture inside; however, even that can seem a little - [What I'm Wearing to Christmas Dinner](https://tailorandbarber.com/what-im-wearing-to-christmas-dinner/) - When I was a younger, what to wear to Christmas dinner was easy. As a kid I wore some sort of chinos (we called them khakis back then) with a sweater. As I got older the sweater turned into a classic blue blazer. But times changed. Over the recent years I’ve worn jeans, a suit, - [Boots, Navy Suits, and German Nincompoops.](https://tailorandbarber.com/boots-navy-suits-and-german-nincompoops/) - Ok, we made it through Halloween and Thanksgiving, and Christmas is not quite here yet.

I'm not complaining. I - [How to Wear a Field Jacket for Spring](https://tailorandbarber.com/how-to-wear-field-jackets-for-spring/) - Spring is almost here. While this past winter has been relatively mild, spring always brings uncertain weather, volatile temperature changes, and a daily difficulty about what to wear. Should I wear a coat? Will I be too warm? Too cold? What if it rains? Allow me to introduce the perfect spring coat; the field jacket. - [Five Years without Porn](https://tailorandbarber.com/five-years-without-porn/) - Five years ago I decided to stop looking at pornography. I think the why is not at all important for anyone. It could be an experiment. It could be to save your marriage. It could be that you object to the immorality of it. Whatever the reason, I think it’s a good idea to at - [Harry’s Shaving Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/harrys-shaving-review/) - Not too long ago I received a flyer in the mail (yes, actual snail mail sold me) from the folks at Harry’s Shaving offering a three dollar trial of their shaving system. In a sense I was only paying for shipping, so it seemed like a pretty good deal. Now, normally, I wouldn’t typically review - [How to Style Olive Chinos](https://tailorandbarber.com/how-to-style-olive-chinos/) - I’ve worn jeans more than any other type of pants (probably more than all others combined) for as long as I can remember.

Founded in 1730 in London by Spanish immigrants, this iconic British perfumer was supplying Londoners half a century before the United States even existed. When you look at Floris, few fragrances carry as much significance as their flagship male fragrance, “No. 89”. - [Jimmy Choo Man Intense Eau de Toilette Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/jimmy-choo-man-intense-eau-de-toilette-review/) - A few weeks ago I published my review of the Jimmy Choo “Man” Eau de Toilette. When I received my bottle for the review, the folks at Jimmy Choo were kind enough to send over a pre-release bottle of the Jimmy Choo “Man” Intense EdT too.

Harris - [What to Wear for a Job Interview](https://tailorandbarber.com/what-to-wear-for-a-job-interview/) - New year, new job. Or that’s what you said four months ago. You fixed up your resume and sent it out. Got a few calls. And now you have some interviews scheduled. But the next question is what to wear for a job interview these days? Over the past twenty to thirty years, we’ve shifted - [Hey! Where have you been?](https://tailorandbarber.com/hey-where-have-you-been/) - Happy Easter! Happy Passover! Happy whatever you’re celebrating this weekend! Weekend reading is back!

Some days I’ll get home from the gym, get the kids off to school, see what’s going on in - [The Look for Less: Billions Style](https://tailorandbarber.com/the-look-for-less-billions-style/) - In case you missed it this week, Showtime’s hit show Billions returned, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Billions is one of my favorite shows. The writing is superb. The dialogue is probably the best on television. The acting is phenomenal. How could you go wrong with Paul Giamatti, Damien Lewis, Maggie Siff, etc.? - [How to Choose the Best Shampoo for Dry Scalp](https://tailorandbarber.com/how-to-choose-the-best-shampoo-for-dry-scalp/) - Sometimes finding the simplest things can cause a person the most grief. Take, for example, choosing your shampoo. On first thought, this may seem like an innocent task to accomplish; however, it can actually be a lot more complicated than you may realize. A typical store that you visit probably has an entire aisle full - [How to Maintain Your Goatee](https://tailorandbarber.com/how-to-maintain-your-goatee/) - You did it again.

And two, how to maintain your goatee so this doesn’t happen - [The Waxed Cotton Jacket: A Fall Classic](https://tailorandbarber.com/the-waxed-cotton-jacket-a-fall-classic/) - I woke up yesterday to walk my dogs early, and it was cold and damp out.

Polo - [How to Style a Puffer Vest Three Different Ways](https://tailorandbarber.com/how-to-style-a-puffer-vest-three-different-ways/) - Fall is definitely rolling in now. The leaves are showing off their colors while floating to their final resting places. Temperatures are only rising to the 60s during the day. And all those style bloggers are publishing posts on apple picking. But we’re not freezing yet. There is no frost on the ground come sun-up. My neighbors had a fire the other night. It smelled amazing, but it’s still a little too early for me (and I love a good fire). This is, however, perfect puffer vest weather. - [Men's Underwear She Actually Wants You to Wear](https://tailorandbarber.com/mens-underwear-she-actually-wants-you-to-wear/) - I spent the better part of last week asking my female blogger friends what type of men's underwear they like.

Forget the holidays, Valentine's Day is when more men struggle and scramble to pick out the perfect gift for their significant other. It's such a challenge. I think there is so much social (media) pressure to choose the most romantic, most thoughtful, or most perfect presents. But here's the - [Dressing with Style When It's Cold Outside](https://tailorandbarber.com/dressing-with-style-when-its-cold-outside/) - Fall. Fall is so easy for dressing with style. I pop on an extra layer, leave my jacket open, and let my layers trap just enough heat to keep me warm. But dressing with style when it's cold outside? For me that's a much more difficult challenge. When it's freezing, I only want to throw - [Strike Gold Shave Nixon Shaving Soap Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/strike-gold-shave-nixon-shaving-soap-review/) - It happens at least once a day.

Movember / No Shave November has come to a close, and you're ready to get back to your normal shaving life.

I'm a big fan of the things at which Brits are known to be great. Iconic television series, both comedic and dramatic, legendary English shoes, incredible grooming products, and a flawless sense of traditional tailoring. Prince Harry's blue engagement suit Monday - [Holiday Dinner Outfit Inspiration](https://tailorandbarber.com/holiday-dinner-outfit-inspiration/) - I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! We did, but I think I could have found a little more room for some food in my left leg. My brother-in-law made this amazing smoked turkey that I couldn't get enough of! But after all the cookies, potatoes, stuffing, and everything else I'm ready to get back - [Shawl Collar Sweater](https://tailorandbarber.com/shawl-collar-sweater/) - Oh man it was pretty chilly today!

The kids were home for days on end, and I just wasn’t able to get it pulled together. I probably should have. I’m still struggling with getting out as many posts as I’d like. But I guess this is all part of the writing process. What I can do is take a look at what I wore on St. Patrick’s Day and share that with you. - [Weekend Reading](https://tailorandbarber.com/weekend-reading-february-25-2017/) - I haven’t written a Weekend Reading post in over a month, and it’s really something I want to get back into the habit of doing.

I’ve written before on my thoughts about gentlemen, and today I want to take another dip in that pool. - [2016 Men's Grooming Product Awards](https://tailorandbarber.com/2016-mens-grooming-product-awards/) - It’s that time of year again (ok, so I’m probably a week late). But it’s time to take a look at the past year and see what the best men’s grooming products of 2016 were. I know 2016 was a year most people want to forget, but there were some good things too. Today I want to take a look at what some of those were. So, without further ado… - [Shave of the Day: September 9, 2016](https://tailorandbarber.com/shave-of-the-day-september-9-2016/) - Man plans and God laughs, right? Remember on Wednesday when I said I was ready to start cranking out the new content? Well, sometimes a sick wife, a sick dog, and exhausted children suffering through their first week of school take priority. Thursday morning really fell off the wheels when my wife got incredibly sick. - [Shave of the Day: September 7, 2016](https://tailorandbarber.com/shave-of-the-day-september-7-2016/) - Finally, I think I can start cranking out some new content, including grooming product reviews. Yesterday was back to school day! My daughter started first grade, which is insane. I can’t believe she’s already in grade school. It seems like she was born just last week. Anyway, summer is tough for writing. There are house - [Weekend Reading](https://tailorandbarber.com/weekend-reading-september-24-2016/) - Did you ever have one of those workouts that just messed up your brain for the rest of the day?

Feel free to read my other two most recent reviews on Floris and Penhaligon’s, with a combined 432 years of experience between them. Today’s review comes from a much different company, a burgeoning New York based startup named after Beau Brummell, the 18th century male style icon who influenced politics and fashion with his own personal attention to grooming and dress. Can you imagine if Beau Brummell was alive today? His Instagram feed would be required reading. - [Shave of the Day: August 9, 2016](https://tailorandbarber.com/shave-of-the-day-august-9-2016/) - Man, I am sorry for the long break in posts.

One of the things I love most about summer is that I think coworkers, friends, even people in general are a little more forgiving of casual or experimental dress. No one seems to care as much. They’re just trying to relax too! Even summer weddings are bit more relaxed (i.e. - [Weekend Reading: August 27, 2016](https://tailorandbarber.com/weekend-reading-august-27-2016/) - Late post today! I wanted to work on this weekend reading compilation yesterday, but it never happened. I figured I would get some work done this morning and get it out as soon as I could.

What - [Shave of the Day: July 29, 2016](https://tailorandbarber.com/shave-of-the-day-july-29-2016/) - You know whose shaving gear I don't use enough? Wet Shaving Products. They make some fantastic shaving supplies. I’ve reviewed one of their brushes and two of their soaps (Tobacco and Blackbeard). Despite my positive ratings I don’t break out these soaps as much as I should. I’ve had some trouble breaking in this brush - [Five Apps I Can’t Live Without](https://tailorandbarber.com/five-apps-i-cant-live-without/) - This era of online connectivity has brought us some powerful resources which have greatly improved my life and productivity.

My writing usually starts with some simple brainstorming. I try not to judge any ideas until I’ve emptied my brain into a notebook or Evernote (I haven’t decided yet which one I like more). I love these shorts - [On the Simple, White Sneaker](https://tailorandbarber.com/on-the-simple-white-sneaker/) - On Sunday night I was picking up some takeout dinner for the family. The whole meal was F’d up because the online order never reached the restaurant, and I had to wait another forty minutes while they cooked our dinner. As annoying as that was, it gave me the time to engage on one of my favorite activities: people watching. - [Outfit of the Day: July 13, 2016](https://tailorandbarber.com/outfit-of-the-day-july-13-2016/) - I started yesterday posting my “Shave of the Day” and “Outfit of the Day” pictures on the blog, in addition to my normal social media posts.

And yes, winter is coming. Haha! - [Summer Linen 2016](https://tailorandbarber.com/summer-linen-2016/) - I struggle with the heat during summer. I always have. It’s really the only gripe I have about the season. In the winter, when I get colder, I put more clothes on. It’s a pretty simple solution. Unfortunately, in the summer, there is only so much clothing to take off when I get hot. After that, I just sit...sweltering. I’ve always seemed to run hot. Maybe it’s a result of growing up in northern Ohio. Maybe it’s genetics. Whatever the reason, summer can drain me. - [Truefitt and Hill West Indian Limes Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/truefitt-and-hill-west-indian-limes-review/) - Few scents capture the breezy easiness of summer like lime. Gin and tonics, limeade (yes, it’s better than lemonade), and lime slices rubbed on grilled corn. These are all some of my favorite things during summer. If you haven’t tried the last one, make it a requirement at your next cookout. Grill up some ears of corn, rub a lime wedge over your ear (of corn), and sprinkle a little salt on it. You’ll never use butter again. Truefitt & Hill’s “West Indian Limes” line continues that tradition of warm weather and citrus scents. In fact, Truefitt & Hill has been providing its lime-scented fragrances for almost one hundred fifty years, since the reign of Queen Victoria. - [Three Ways to Wear Pink This Summer](https://tailorandbarber.com/three-ways-to-wear-pink-this-summer/) - I used to go to grad school with a guy who wore this pink polo shirt quite frequently. He stood around 6’7” with an extremely fair, Irish-American complexion. The shirt was bright, neon, and electric. I mean, it was a bit much. Knowing what colors work with your skin tone is a huge asset in building your personal style. I also think with colors like pink, balance and contrast are crucial. Pink works extremely well with blues and greens. Those were the three colors my wife and I used at our wedding, and there’s no way I’m going to tell her she’s wrong. - [Weekend Reading](https://tailorandbarber.com/weekend-reading-june-18-2016/) - First off, happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there! I hope you have a great weekend. I’m planning on have a very relaxing one. Some brunch, some European Grand Prix from Baku, some NBA Finals Game 7, and maybe even some time at the dog park. - [Outfit of the Day November 13, 2017](https://tailorandbarber.com/outfit-day-november-13-2017/) - So I'm going to try something new. It seem like people would appreciate it I posted the details of my Instagram Outfits of the Day and Shaves of the Day directly on the blog. I think this sounds like a great idea, and I'm going to do it as much as I can. I think - [Five Times to Splurge on Your Style](https://tailorandbarber.com/five-times-to-splurge-on-your-style/) - Last June I wrote a post on five areas of your style in which you can save money. So, I figured this June I would touch on the five times where I recommend splurging. I don’t think that price necessarily equates to quality. However, I do believe that in these five areas, when you bump your budget a bit, the return value justifies the purchase price. - [Weekend Reading](https://tailorandbarber.com/weekend-reading-june-11-2016/) - I don’t usually look forward to the weekend too much. Working from home means weekends are spent in the same place as weekdays. But at least the kids are home from school, and we usually find some fun activities for them. This weekend, however, is very welcome. - [An Oscar-Worthy Education - A New Project](https://tailorandbarber.com/an-oscar-worthy-education-a-new-project/) - I love movies. Some people might call me a movie buff or aficionado, but I wouldn’t. Here’s my problem. I’ve seen a fair number of good to great movies, but the number of bad movies I’ve seen far outweighs them. I always seem to default to action movies and comedies, not that that’s a bad thing, but I would like to broaden my horizons. - [Kentucky Derby Style Inspiration](https://tailorandbarber.com/kentucky-derby-style-inspiration/) - This Saturday marks the 142nd Kentucky Derby. And whether you're actually heading to Churchill Downs or just enjoying a few mint juleps on your couch with some friends, looking the part is the key to pulling off that Derby style. - [Blaviar "Sigma Aftershave Balm Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/blaviar-sigma-aftershave-balm-review/) - These days, not too many shaving products appear on the wet shaving scene without my knowledge. Sure, there are plenty of brands I have yet to try (don’t worry, I’m coming for you). But I am usually aware. So, when Blaviar contacted me about trying one of their new aftershave balms, I was a little surprised. Here was a company with a product unfamiliar to me, looking for an independent, honest review. I took this as an unique opportunity to try a shaving product about which I had no prior knowledge or opinion. - [Weekend Reading](https://tailorandbarber.com/weekend-reading-may-21-2016/) - It’s been a pretty mild week. I watched a terrible movie. Soap Commander re-opened for business (Congrats!). It rained too much. I think the most exciting thing this week was that insane first lap of the Spanish Grand Prix! But other than that, not too much happened around here. I’m thankful for weeks like these. They’re few and far between, but usually much needed when they do arrive. We’re watching two family dogs this week, so that means five dogs total here, plus two kids, plus two adults. We needed an easy week to manage all that. It looks like this weekend is more of the same, so here’s a few things to get you started on a relaxing few days. - [Weekend Reading](https://tailorandbarber.com/weekend-reading-may-14-2016/) - Weekend Reading It’s been a quieter week around here. My wife took our daughter up to New York for a few days (her first trip!). They’re visiting Dylan’s Candy Bar, the American Girl store, and something called The Gazillion Bubble Show. She actually got to go on stage, and loved it. This girl so amazing. - [Movie Night: "Wings" (1928)](https://tailorandbarber.com/movie-night-wings-192728/) - Kicking off my journey through the list of Best Picture Winners is 1927’s “Wings”. Until 2011, this was the only silent movie to win Best Picture. Silent movie is a bit of a misnomer though, as this movie has soundtrack playing throughout the feature. The story revolves around two small-town rivals, the local rich kid and the average Joe, both in love the same woman and who flying against the Germans in World War I. This was the first time I had seen this movie. - [Blueprint 3-Day Cleanse: Day 3](https://tailorandbarber.com/blueprint-3-day-cleanse-day-3/) - Ok, here it is. Day 3 of my 3-day cleanse. Let’s get this started. If want to see how I got here, read day 1 here and day 2 here. - [Dorco Prime Starter Kit Review and Promo Code](https://tailorandbarber.com/dorco-starter-kit-review-and-promo-code/) - I’ve said before that I think the hardest part of starting traditional wet shaving is actually getting started. Dorco has put together a great starter kit making this process significantly easier. - [Blueprint 3-Day Cleanse: Day 2](https://tailorandbarber.com/blueprint-3-day-cleanse-day-2/) - Ok, so here comes day two of my 3-day Blueprint Foundation cleanse. Don’t forget to ready day one here!7:00 amThe day starts of strong. I don’t feel hungry, and smells seem strangely strong. I feel good. My wife, on the other hand, might be out. She’s definitely struggling. We’ll see how the day goes. - [How to Compliment a Woman and Not Seem Like a Creep](https://tailorandbarber.com/how-to-compliment-a-woman-and-not-seem-like-a-creep/) - Know this. I’m writing this post with nothing but the best of intentions. However, in working on this post, I've realized it's a much more sensitive issue than I had initially imagined. In fact, I feel like I can't even bring the subject up without feeling uncomfortable. - [Blueprint 3-Day Cleanse: Day 1](https://tailorandbarber.com/blueprint-3-day-cleanse-day-1/) - My wife and I decided to do a 3-day cleanse together. Great idea, right? On top of that I got the genius idea to blog about it, so there was no backing out. We’ve been eating pretty terribly lately, and this seemed like a great way to kick ourselves back in the right direction. - [Catie's Bubbles Spanish Holiday Shaving Soap Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/caties-bubbles-spanish-holiday-shaving-soap-review/) - Catie’s Bubbles might be one of the few good things to come out of New Jersey. I kid, I kid. As a Philadelphia guy, making fun of the Garden State is something I’m compelled, almost involuntarily, to do. Catie’s Bubbles had been on my radar for a long time. Probably for over a year, but I only finally got around to trying their shaving soap. I picked up a few, so I would expect more reviews in the future. But I decided to kick it off with the Spanish Holiday shaving soap. - [A Public Health PSA](https://tailorandbarber.com/a-public-health-psa/) - Terrible title, I know. But please read it. - [Three St. Patrick’s Day Outfit Options](https://tailorandbarber.com/three-st-patricks-day-outfit-options/) - By this time next week, many of you will be dragging yourselves through one of the most hangover heavy days of the year, the day after St. Patrick’s Day. Of course, if you have kids like me, going out for a night of heavy drinking during the week (or any night for that matter) is usually a poor decision. Managing active little people while struggling to keep your eyes focused is one of the most unpleasant things I’ve discovered as a parent. But I digress… - [Winter Workout Gear](https://tailorandbarber.com/winter-workout-gear/) - If you follow Tailor & Barber on Instagram or Snapchat (tailorandbarber on both), you may have caught a glimpse of my sunroom-turned-home gym. Ok, so it’s not really a home gym, rather a place with a mat where I swing my kettlebells. But my kettlebells are important. They’re a key part of my morning routine. - [Casual Rainy Day Chills](https://tailorandbarber.com/casual-rainy-day-chills/) - Nothing can make me want to stay in bed all day more than checking my phone in the morning only to see a one hundred percent chance of a cold, rainy, dreary day. Unfortunately today was one of those days. Even more unfortunate, I had a couple of meetings (in different locations, no less!) and a few errands to run. - [Why Restaurants Do the Things They Do](https://tailorandbarber.com/why-restaurants-do-the-things-they-do/) - Why. We spend much more time on “Who?” or “How?” than “Why?”. In reality, asking, “Why?” can lead to the greatest revelations and reduce the most stress. When you understand why something is done, you can then accept and move on or enact change. “Why?” is a decision-forcing question, not a fact-finding question. You know - [Why I Watch Professional Wrestling](https://tailorandbarber.com/why-i-watch-professional-wrestling/) - Why I Watch Professional Wrestling I have a very vivid memory, from a middle school sleepover, of my first WWE (WWF at the time) match. It was Hulk Hogan versus somebody. I’ve forgotten the other guy’s name. I do know he had crazy black hair and black pants. His name isn’t really that important. What - [Gift Guide: The Wet Shaving Man](https://tailorandbarber.com/gift-guide-the-wet-shaving-man/) - Have you started Christmas shopping yet? Not me. I’m still working on ideas. I think most guys are still in the “idea” stage at this point. Or maybe you’re just leaving the gift-buying up to someone else this year. Starting today I’m going to give bring some help to your holiday shopping procrastination. I’m going to publish four gift guides this week. The initial goal is to obviously assist with the holiday shopping, but these are guides that can be used year-round whenever you need a little gift giving inspiration. - [Why I'm with Her](https://tailorandbarber.com/why-im-with-her/) - *There’s an old adage professing that one should never discuss politics or religion. I disagree. I think the only way we can work through our differences as a country, or as a planet for that matter, is to have those difficult discussions. And those discussions must be had with goals of empathy and understanding. They - [Outfit Inspiration: Three Cable Knit Sweater Looks for Fall](https://tailorandbarber.com/outfit-inspiration-three-cable-knit-sweater-looks-for-fall/) - Here’s your daily dose of morbidity. Cable knit sweaters may have been originally developed to help identify the bodies of drowned sailors that washed up on beaches helping their families. - [Weekend Reading](https://tailorandbarber.com/weekend-reading-october-15-2016/) - Yikes! What a week! Honestly, I was just happy I was able to get out one post this week. My kids were off from school different days. One school recognized Columbus Day, and one Yom Kippur. I’m not sure how that worked out, but the end result was me spending two days at The Franklin - [The Five Commandments of Denim Care](https://tailorandbarber.com/the-five-commandments-of-denim-care/) - Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I’m willing to bet that more than a few of you received a new pair of jeans this past December. I didn’t receive any for Christmas, but I did buy two new pairs recently for myself. If you didn’t get a new pair or you’re - [Winter Skincare Essentials](https://tailorandbarber.com/winter-skincare-essentials/) - Well, winter just came roaring in like a freight train. It’s amazing to think that just a few weeks ago we were lamenting the fact that our Holiday Season was filled sunny, seventy-degree days, and, now, we have a full-blown blizzard to contend with. I mean, I’m writing this on my couch staring out at - [Movies for Guys: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid](https://tailorandbarber.com/movies-for-guys-butch-cassidy-and-the-sundance-kid/) - Movies for Guys: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Last night I had the wonderful opportunity to see one of the all-time classic movies the way it was meant to be seen. On the big screen. As part of the TCM Big Screen Classics program, my local theater was showing Butch Cassidy and the Sundance - [A Gentleman's Relationship with Nature](https://tailorandbarber.com/a-gentlemans-relationship-with-nature/) - A Gentleman's Relationship with Nature I was going to do my usual weekend reading post, but I only had one other post this week.

I’ve been having a lot of conversations about scent lately, and I’ve definitely found that it’s a pretty significant driving factor in the choice for shaving products. I still think that performance is the most important factor. However, with so many fantastic, artisan shaving soap - [Unbroken: A Lesson in Perseverence](https://tailorandbarber.com/unbroken-a-lesson-in-perseverence/) - Growing up I used to read a ton. I loved The Hardy Boys, Choose Your Own Adventure, Encyclopedia Brown. As a teenager I got really into both fantasy series by Terry Brooks. He’s still one of my favorite authors.

First, - [Twillory Is Crushing It Right Now!](https://tailorandbarber.com/twillory-is-crushing-it-right-now/) - Twillory Is Crushing It Right Now! A constant refrain in my house is, “I’m going to write a letter.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve uttered this in either joy or frustration.

Be sure to read why I - [Kick Up Your Weekend Style](https://tailorandbarber.com/kick-up-your-weekend-style/) - Kick Up Your Weekend Style What is it that makes good style stand out? What differentiates style from fashion? I think style means dressing and grooming appropriately for all situations with a certain level of sophistication and accentuation without looking forced. Ok, so what does that mean? Well, let’s start off with a disclaimer. I - [Lebelle Soaps Milione Shaving Soap Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/lebelle-soaps-milione-shaving-soap-review/) - I’m still recovering from my “late night” viewing of Mad Men. Oh, I know 11:30 isn’t late, but 5:00 am comes early, and I still needed time after the show to get my thoughts down for my post yesterday. I didn’t write the article that night, but I did finalize my list.

Considering - [Barberry Coast EPIC Giveaway](https://tailorandbarber.com/barberry-coast-epic-giveaway/) - I don’t enter contests. Let me rephrase that. I don’t enter contests related to Tailor & Barber. Entering contests, and potentially winning, doesn’t give me a strong stance of being impartial when writing my reviews. Now, if a company wants to submit any of their products for review, that’s perfectly acceptable as long as they - [Shave of the Day: April 8, 2015](https://tailorandbarber.com/shave-of-the-day-april-8-2015/) - Today’s shave was bursting with herbal and grassy smells from beginning to end. What a great spring SOTD. The Musgo Real Shaving Cream is incredibly slick, but not the most cushioning shaving cream. It’s very good, but it’s slickness is definitely better than it’s cushion. So it’s best paired with a pre-shave oil like I - [Upcoming Razor Blade Experiment](https://tailorandbarber.com/upcoming-razor-blade-experiment/) - One of the things that I love about traditional wet shaving is the experimentation. It really is true in this activity that your mileage may vary (YMMV). One product that works so well for you may be someone else’s most hated. Sure, there are some shave soaps or shaving creams out there that just about everyone loves, but, for the most part, wet shaving with a double-edged safety razor is so individualized, that experimentation is almost a necessity. Unfortunately, there are so many products to try, and so many combinations of pre-shaves, soaps, creams, razors, blades, and aftershaves that many times the combinations yield no final results. - [A Great Way to Finish a Workout](https://tailorandbarber.com/a-great-way-to-finish-a-workout/) - I’ve been using post-workout shakes since college. Back then I was an idiot and dumped (almost) whatever someone told me would make me stronger in my body. I never crossed over into steroids, but was definitely drinking creatine before people even knew what was going into those supplements. - [Sticks and Stones](https://tailorandbarber.com/sticks-and-stones/) - I was taking a look at my incredibly disorganized shaving cabinet over the weekend, thinking about which wet shaving and grooming products to review next, and I realized that I needed the ability to try more products in smaller quantities.

After an unusually cold winter full of snowstorms, black ice, - [Upcoming Reviews](https://tailorandbarber.com/upcoming-reviews/) - Ok, so I have quite a backlog of reviews slated. Today I took an inventory of all the products I had in my cabinet that I had not reviewed yet. Needless to say, my wife was quite surprised with how much I kept in there, and I don’t think I’ll be getting anything else new for a while. The idea of organizing all of these to work through my reviews was pretty intimidating. So, I decided to take a picture, and put it to all of you. - [Shave of the Day: March 30, 2015](https://tailorandbarber.com/shave-of-the-day-march-30-2015/) - I broke out the Zi’ Peppino again. - [Weekend Reading](https://tailorandbarber.com/weekend-reading-march-28-2015/) - 3.

Basically, everyone comes out from the winter hibernation and welcomes the new growth. We’re not so different from the animals, you see. The skies are less gray, color begins to return to the world, and people want to shake off their seasonal affective disorder. People also want to return some more color to their wardrobe, but aren’t ready for full-on sunny, beach brightness just yet. Enter the pastels. - [Shave of the Day: March 23, 2015](https://tailorandbarber.com/shave-of-the-day-march-23-2015/) - Man, this shave was all about smells. - [Style Thoughts: Double Breasted Suit?](https://tailorandbarber.com/double-breasted-suit/) - Fashion is incredibly cyclical; however, the styles do change a bit each time around. Last weekend The Financial Times covered Milan fashion week, and double-breasted jackets were definitely on everyone’s mind.

I realized, while pondering - [Dr. Jon's Anne Bonny Aftershave Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/dr-jons-anne-bonny-aftershave-review/) - If you’re new to this blog, then you might be new to the world of Dr. Jon’s shaving products. If you’re a reader of Tailor & Barber, then you’ve probably read a few of my reviews of Dr. Jon’s shaving soaps before. However, this is the first time I’ve taken a look at one of - [Mickey Lee Soapworks Italian Stallion Shaving Soap Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/mickey-lee-soapworks-italian-stallion-shaving-soap-review/) - Mickey Lee Soapworks "Italian Stallion" Shaving Soap Review I have a rule about restaurants. If I go and the food is bad, I’ll give the place another shot. Maybe I just didn’t like the flavor of something, in actuality, prepared correctly. However, if I go out, and the service is bad, I’ll won’t go back. - [Edwin Jagger: The REAL Best a Man Can Get](https://tailorandbarber.com/edwin-jagger-the-real-best-a-man-can-get/) - Edwin Jagger: The REAL Best a Man Can Get Several weeks ago I was fortunate enough to receive a gift package from Edwin Jagger, giving me the opportunity to experience a shave comprised almost entirely of Edwin Jagger products (I don’t have an EJ brush...yet). I’ve had the chance to review Edwin Jagger’s Limes and - [2015 Holiday Gift Guide](https://tailorandbarber.com/2015-holiday-gift-guide/) - 2015 Holiday Gift Guide As I sit down to write this, it’s 65 and sunny out, and the Holidays couldn’t be further from my mind. However, the truth of the matter is that Thanksgiving is almost upon us, and the gift-giving season will be here before you know it. So, it’s time to start shopping - [Sweet Comb Chicago Beard Products](https://tailorandbarber.com/sweet-comb-chicago-beard-products/) - No Shave November/Movember is over, and now you’re trying to figure out what to do with that abomination that’s been growing on your face. I’ll be honest, I cashed in a little over a week ago. There was more gray than I remember in my beard, a truth which didn’t thrill me. I also missed - [Getting the Most out of Your Slant Razor](https://tailorandbarber.com/getting-the-most-out-of-your-slant-razor/) - I broke out my Merkur 37C this week after, at least, a six month hiatus. Initially, I had stopped using it because no matter what I did, I always seemed to scrape my face up when I used it. Finally, after over three years of traditional wet shaving, my luck has changed. I am now - [Jewelry Gifts for Men? Yes!](https://tailorandbarber.com/jewelry-gifts-for-men-yes/) - Jewelry Gifts for Men? Yes! The holiday season is usually the time of year when men break out gifts in the form of little, velvet boxes. This is almost always a fantastic idea. To echo some advice I recently heard on the Style Girlfriend podcast, the only exception would be if you have been dating - [La Toja Shaving Stick Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/la-toja-shaving-stick-review/) - La Toja Shaving Stick Review This is not the first time I’ve written about the La Toja Shaving Stick. You can read that here. Yet, I figured since I’ve been using this soap so much lately, the shaving soap deserved its own review. The first thing about the La Toja shaving stick you might overlook, - [2015 Grooming Product Awards](https://tailorandbarber.com/2015-grooming-product-awards/) - 2015 Grooming Product Awards Look, I know it's not the most exciting title, but it is accurate. I tried a lot of products this year, some good, some bad. A few notables stood out from the crowd, and they deserve to recognition. These are the products that I kept coming back to all year. While - [Dapper Dragon Arctic Wyrm Shaving Soap Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/dapper-dragon-arctic-wyrm-shaving-soap-review/) - If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ll know that last summer I ran a razor blade experiment testing ten different razor blades over the course of ten weeks. One of the key components to this experiment was trying to keep all the other variables constant. To that effort, I used the same - [A Gent Vs. a Gentleman](https://tailorandbarber.com/a-gent-vs-a-gentleman/) - I need to talk about a trend that’s been taking over Instagram and other social media lately. Ok, so it’s not that recent, but it’s starting to get out of hand; this idea of being a “gent”. I’m sure you’ve seen these posts. They usually involve four or five guys wearing impeccably tailored suits with - [Dr. Jon’s Savannah Sunrise Shaving Soap Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/dr-jons-savannah-sunrise-shaving-soap-review/) - Dr. Jon’s "Savannah Sunrise" Shaving Soap Review Just when I think I know what to expect from Dr. Jon’s, this outstanding soap company goes ahead and throws me another curveball. I feel like a batter, sitting on a full count, with no idea what pitch is coming next. With Anne Bonny, I knew that soap - [Tailor & Barber's Guide to Nailing Valentine's Day](https://tailorandbarber.com/201622tailor-barbers-guide-to-nailing-valentines-day/) - I know most of my readers are straight men, but I do have readers who are gay, straight, men, women, etc. I’m writing this piece from the point of view of a straight man who has dated women and is married to a woman, but it can be applied to anyone. Maybe I shouldn’t have - [Sweet Comb Chicago Shaving Soap Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/sweet-comb-chicago-shaving-soap-review/) - Sweet Comb Chicago Shaving Soap Review Oh man. I wanted to like this soap. I really did. I sang the praises of Sweet Comb Chicago’s beard conditioner and beard oil back in November. The folks at Sweet Comb are extremely nice. I love the focus on natural and sustainable ingredients. But this soap just doesn’t - [Satin Tip Synthetic Shaving Brush Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/satin-tip-synthetic-shaving-brush-review/) - I tend to think I’m a wet shaving purist. I like triple-milled British soaps. I like aftershaves with alcohol and menthol. I like shaving brushes made from badger fur and boar bristles. So when Wet Shave Club sent me a synthetic brush in one of my monthly boxes, I was a little apprehensive. The two - [Some of My Favorite Scent Combinations Part 1](https://tailorandbarber.com/some-of-my-favorite-scent-combinations-part-1/) - Ok, so when I was putting this post together, I discovered that I have more than a few favorite scent combinations. In fact, I came up with nine! So this will be my first two-part post. Sometimes I choose a shaving soap for performance. Sometimes I choose for simplicity. Sometimes I choose my cologne independent - [Some of My Favorite Scent Combinations Part 2](https://tailorandbarber.com/some-of-my-favorite-scent-combinations-part-2/) - If you missed yesterday’s post, I decided to split this up because I had more combinations than I originally realized. Be sure you don’t miss part 1! - [The Power of "Airplane Mode"](https://tailorandbarber.com/the-power-of-airplane-mode/) - I've fallen in love with my phone's "Airplane Mode" over the last few months. I turn it on (meaning my phone’s connection is off) overnight and leave it on during my morning meditation and workout. At first I worried about emergencies in the middle of the night. How would people be able to contact me if something was wrong? - [Fine Accoutrements “Snake Bite” Aftershave Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/fine-accoutrements-snake-bite-aftershave-review/) - Do you like bone-chilling menthol? You had better. This stuff has it in spades, and I haven’t experienced anything like it before. I even made the questionable judgment call a few weeks ago of using “Snake Bite” on one of our sub-freezing winter days. That was…invigorating. - [Three Things You Should Know about the 2016 Formula 1 Season](https://tailorandbarber.com/three-things-you-should-know-about-the-2016-formula-1-season/) - The 2016 Formula 1 season kicks off this weekend with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, and I, for one, couldn’t be more excited. It’s been four long months without my Sunday ritual. This will be my third year watching, and I’m so glad I started. I had never followed any other form of auto racing before, but a few years ago I decided to dive in. - [Montblanc Legend Spirit Cologne Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/montblanc-legend-spirit-cologne-review/) - I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend (if that’s your thing)! Our house seemed like an insane asylum this past week. The kids were both home during Spring Break. We were busy getting ready for Easter brunch at my wife’s parents’ house. And our son’s fourth birthday fell on Easter Sunday this year too! So, I hope you’ll forgive me for taking last week off from writing. Fortunately, I didn’t take the week off from testing products. When Montblanc reached out to me to test their newest men’s cologne release, Legend Spirit, you can be sure I wasn’t about to turn down that opportunity. - [Caswell-Massey Soap Round Up](https://tailorandbarber.com/caswell-massey-soap-round-up/) - We all have those brands. The ones whose grooming products in which we’re interested, but for some reason haven’t made any purchases. Maybe the reasons are financial. Maybe we have too many products already, and we’re afraid of getting involved with another brand. Maybe we just forget each time we’re ready to make some purchases. For me, one of those companies was Caswell-Massey. I was well aware of Caswell-Massey’s history as America’s oldest apothecary and reputation for high quality men’s shaving and grooming products. But I had never actually purchased anything. That changed about two months ago when I decided to finally take the soapy plunge. - [Weekend Reading](https://tailorandbarber.com/weekend-reading-april-15-2016/) - Man, it’s been a rough couple of weeks. Between spring break, Easter, my son’s 4th birthday, a family-wide stomach virus, and a 3-day juice cleanse, I’ve been running on empty for a while. I needed a few weeks to recharge and focus on some jobs around the house. We hung some new art, cleaned off my wife’s desk (it was horrendous!), and cleared out a ton of old kids’ clothes and toys. I feel like I’m finally getting back on track here. - [Macy's Friends and Family Sale](https://tailorandbarber.com/macys-friends-and-family-sale/) - Macy’s is running a fantastic sale right now, offering twenty-five percent off and free shipping at $25. They’re currently holding one of their Friends and Family events. The beautiful thing about these F&F events is that items that don't normally go on sale, or that the manufacturers restrict from sales, can still be bought for a discount using the overarching promotion. - [Truefitt & Hill Sandalwood Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/truefitt-hill-sandalwood-review/) - Looks like it’s time for another dip into my Truefitt & Hill sample pack, which is, in my opinion, the best selection of samples available from any manufacturer out there. Sure, you have to pay for it, but I think the packaging is fantastic, the samples can be used for traveling, and no other manufacturer gives you a way to experience almost their entire line. - [Razorock Plissoft "Monster" 26mm Synthetic Shaving Brush Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/razorock-plissoft-monster-26mm-synthetic-shaving-brush-review/) - Throughout the annals of traditional wet shaving lore, there are a certain number of products to which one could refer as “holy grails”. These are products which hold captive the minds, imaginations, and wallets of wet shavers the world over. From original tallow-based formulations of shaving soaps, to discontinued fragrances, to incredibly hard-to-find gear, these “holy grails” can turn this hobby (which arguably saves money) into an expensive, and often times fruitless, wild goose chase. Fortunately, several companies have developed the skills to re-create these sought after products, and none have done it better and more frequently than Razorock. - [Chilly Spring Days](https://tailorandbarber.com/chilly-spring-days/) - It’s been a strangely cool spring around here. I think March was actually nicer than May, but that may have simply been my perception coming off a chilling winter. I think spring is always remembered warmer than it actually is. How many people go away for Memorial Day only to wish they brought a sweater and not their swimsuit? - [Soap Commander Courage Shaving Soap Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/soap-commander-courage-shaving-soap-review/) - Just over a year ago I received a sample that changed the way I thought about shaving products, specifically aftershave balms. I’m talking about the Soap Commander “Courage” aftershave balm. Click here to go back and read my full review. That aftershave balm prompted me to check out Soaps Commander’s line of shaving soaps too. If you know me or read this blog, you know I always prefer products with matching scents, so it should be no surprise that I picked up a tub of the “Courage” shaving soap too. - [Movie Night: The Broadway Melody-1929](https://tailorandbarber.com/movie-night-the-broadway-melody-1929/) - Warning: spoilers ahead...not that it matters.I’m going to be honest here. I was not looking forward to this one. I’ve challenged myself with remaining open-minded. Willing to not pre-judge any of the movies I’m going to watch. But I had seen this one before, and I remember disliking it. A lot. Even with the wine. I figured this time I would be watching sober, thus making it more arduous. - [Twillory Memorial Day/Father's Day Sale](https://tailorandbarber.com/twillory-memorial-day-fathers-day-sale/) - Memorial Day Weekend is upon us. A weekend for swimming, grilling, day drinking, and sales. So many sales. There are a lot of sales this weekend that I could have sorted through, put together some picks, and posted my favorites. But Twillory’s sale caught my eye. If you want to find out why I love my Twillory shirts so much, click here to read my full write up from last summer. - [Mühle R41 Open Comb Razor Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/muehle-r41-open-comb-razor-review/) - Months prior to this review, when I first unpacked my new Mühle R41, I thought to myself, “How much different can this razor be than what I’m already using?” I should have known better. Just for starters, the Mühle R41 is significantly heavier than any of my Merkur or Edwin Jagger razors. The weight difference is noticeable even without the assistance of a digital scale. - [The Sperry X JAWS Shoes Collection](https://tailorandbarber.com/the-sperry-x-jaws-shoes-collection/) - You’re gonna need a bigger closet. - [Fine Accoutrements “L’Orange Noir” Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/fine-accoutrements-lorange-noir-review/) - When I first started my journey into traditional wet shaving, there were three brands that initially hooked me. These were the products which showed me the possibilities of what shaving could be, transforming it from a daily chore to an experience of the senses and a lifetime skill. Fine Accoutrements was one of those three brands. - [Penhaligon’s Blenheim Bouquet Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/penhaligons-blenheim-bouquet-review/) - I’ve owned the Blenheim Bouquet Eau de Toilette for several years now (even though I’m just getting around to reviewing it), but I wanted to try the full Blenheim experience, so I picked up a few more flanker products in the line. - [Barrister & Mann Diamond Shaving Soap Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/barrister-mann-diamond-shaving-soap-review/) - Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Fourth of July holiday (if you’re from the U.S.). I decided to take a few extra days off (aside from writing a post that lost me followers and earned me a pepper spray threat). But we’re back to the traditional wet shaving today and a summer-focused shaving soap review. With the passing of the Fourth, we’ve really hit the dog days of summer, and I was thinking about the one thing that combines celebrating America with those dog days: baseball. - [Five Weapons in the Hair Battle for Men](https://tailorandbarber.com/five-weapons-in-the-hair-battle-for-men/) - Recently one of the most popular posts I wrote has been a look at some tools for guys with thinning hair. I figured it was time to take another look at some tools I use to keep my hair under control. - [Shave of the Day: July 18, 2016](https://tailorandbarber.com/shave-of-the-day-july-18-2016/) - Temps are soaring into the nineties all week, and this double dose of some serious mint/menthol is the perfect way to keep it cool. Brush: Razorock 26mm “Monster” Plissoft Shaving Soap: The Sudsy Soapery “Twice Mint” Shave Soap Razor: Merkur 34C DE Safety Razor Blade: Kai Stainless Steel Razor Blades Post-shave: Fine Accoutrements “Snake Bite” - [Outfit of the Day: July 20, 2016](https://tailorandbarber.com/outfit-of-the-day-july-20-2016/) - I’ve really been trying to step up my posts. Even if it’s just a quick outfit or shave of the day post, I want to put out as much inspiration as possible. This outfit may be a little warm for summer days, but it’s perfect for a summer dinner date. I love the weight of - [2016 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks](https://tailorandbarber.com/2016-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-picks/) - The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opened to the public on Friday, and if you’re like me this was your first chance to shop it. The first week of the sale was shoppable only by Nordstrom credit card holders. After seeing what was available, I can tell you I will definitely have a Nordstrom Card by next year’s sale. - [Shave of the Day: July 25, 2016](https://tailorandbarber.com/shave-of-the-day-july-25-2016/) - Here’s something I don't say that often. This was a big sports weekend for me. I don't get too many of those. Sure, I’ll watch the major sports, but for me F1 is my favorite sport. At this point it’s the only sport I watch regularly. On top of that, the Crossfit Games were held - [Razorock XXX Shaving Soap and Aftershave Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/razorock-xxx-shaving-soap-and-aftershave-review/) - In case you missed it, the Razorock “XXX” line made my list of favorite scent combinations. But I figured this shaving soap and aftershave splash were due for their own review. - [The Sudsy Soapery Citrus & Bay Shaving Soap Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/the-sudsy-soapery-citrus-bay-shaving-soap-review/) - At this point in the year, it seems like summer is winding down. Back to school commercials are running, baseball players are tearfully retiring, and Brett Favre is jokingly (maybe?) offering his services as quarterback. In truth, we are actually only about half way through the warm weather. I typically use bay rums in the summer, so I figured this was a perfect time to review the Sudsy Soapery “Citrus & Bay” shaving soap. - [Jimmy Choo Man Eau de Toilette Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/jimmy-choo-man-eau-de-toilette-review/) - Jimmy Choo graciously sent me bottles of both the Jimmy Choo Man EDT and the Jimmy Choo Man Intense EDP to review this summer in anticipation of the latter’s release this September. I’ll have my review of the new Intense out later this month, but I wanted to go over the original prior to that post. - [Shave of the Day: August 23, 2016](https://tailorandbarber.com/shave-of-the-day-august-23-2016/) - How do you break a week-long heat wave? With a ton of menthol, of course. Last week was brutal here. Every day the heat index soared into the 100s. The heat was so oppressive, it was hard to do anything. Even running errands drained me. On top of that both my son and I came - [Fall Essentials 2016](https://tailorandbarber.com/fall-essentials-2016/) - I can’t believe summer is over. Ok, I know that summer isn’t REALLY over until September 21st, but can we all agree that Labor Day Weekend is the unofficial end of summer. The mornings are already getting a little colder, and before you know it the leaves will start changing. - [Penhaligon’s No. 33 Skincare System Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/penhaligons-no-33-skincare-system-review/) - The No. 33 skincare products are lightly scented with the same fragrance as Penhaligon’s No. 33 eau de cologne. This is a fresh tobacco scent with year-round accessibility. In a true EdC style, it is meant to be applied relatively liberally and frequently. The fragrance of the skin care products makes me want to buy this eau de cologne. - [Tcheon Fung Sing TFS "Corte Sabauda" Shaving Soap and Aftershave Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/tcheon-fung-sing-tfs-corte-sabauda-shaving-soap-and-aftershave-review/) - The “Corte Sabauda” sandalwood is a new variation to me. This is a sweet, creamy sandalwood, which is why I like it so much this time of year. I think the fragrance can shine on warmer days and hold its own when the mercury drops. I would enjoy this fragrance any time from March through November. - [L'Occitane Cade Shaving Soap Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/loccitane-cade-shaving-soap-review/) - This shaving soap is a bit of a conundrum for me, and I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to go about reviewing it. I think the best way to do this is to run through the few points that have been sticking in my mind while I’ve been working with this soap. I hope this makes more sense by the end of this post. - [Razorok XX Shaving Soap and Aftershave Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/razorok-xx-shaving-soap-and-aftershave-review/) - When I was in high school I took a class on Roman history that included a two week trip to italy. It was one of my most memorable experience as a teenager. I fell in love with the country, the architecture, the style, the food, everything. The first week of the trip was spent exploring Rome and visiting so many of the ruins we had studied. Then we drove south for a week visiting Capri and Sorrento. On that drive we stopped for lunch in Sperlonga, the summer villa of the Emperor Tiberius. The Razorock “XX” shaving soap and aftershave take me back to that drive through the Italian countryside. - [Semogue Special Owners' Club Shaving Brush Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/semogue-special-owners-club-shaving-brush-review/) - The Semogue “Owners’ Club” boar bristle shaving brush has received a fair amount of praise online for a number of years. This attention sparked my curiosity, so I decided to pick one up last year to see what the fuss was about. - [2016 Fall Boot Guide](https://tailorandbarber.com/2016-fall-boot-guide/) - Autumn has given us quite the reprieve this year from bad weather, at least around here. But make no mistake, winter is coming. And with winter comes the need to protect your ankles, socks, and pants from cold rain, slush, snow, and ice. There is no better way to do that than with some quality boots. - [Caron Yatagan Eau de Toilette Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/caron-yatagan-eau-de-toilette-review/) - Are you struggling to find a scent that works for you? It seems that recently the world of men’s fragrance is being dominated by pineapple, mint, and oud. There is nothing inherently wrong with any of these notes, but I struggle to find something that stands out from the current wave of unisex fragrances. - [Early Black Friday Sales](https://tailorandbarber.com/early-black-friday-sales/) - It’s almost here, that insanely overproduced shopping season, kicked off by Black Friday. I’m not a big fan of how commercialized the holidays have become (although I bet they have been that way for longer than we realize). However, I am a big fan of the sales that run this time of year. So, I guess I’m part of the problem, but I’m not going to let that hold me back too much. - [Gift Guide: The Casually Styled Man](https://tailorandbarber.com/gift-guide-the-casually-styled-man/) - I think adding some style to a casual outfit can be harder than to a dressier one. Throw on a suit, shirt, and some nice shoes and you're already 90% of the way there. But jeans and a t-shirt can fall anywhere from disheveled slob to street style superstar. - [Gift Guide: The Formally Dressed Man](https://tailorandbarber.com/gift-guide-the-formally-dressed-man/) - As with most things in life, when expressing your personal style by wearing a suit or jacket, the difference is in the details. For many men, any time you don a suit, you’re going to garner a few compliments. I think it is one of the pluses of living a society where suits are no longer considered normal, daily wear. Any suit shines as something special. - [Gift Guide: For Her](https://tailorandbarber.com/gift-guide-for-her/) - Ok, this is the gift guide I’ve been putting off the longest. And as i'm writing it now, i can see why. Shopping for women is tough. It’s pretty easy for me to go through things that I would like to have for myself and package them up in gift guides for men and hit “publish”. But shopping for the women in my life? That’s where i run into trouble. - [My New Year's Resolutions for 2017](https://tailorandbarber.com/my-new-years-resolutions-for-2017/) - Normally I’m not a big fan of New Year’s Resolutions. I believe if you want to make a change, it’s better to simply start than to pick some arbitrary date and wait for it to arrive. However, I can appreciate the concept of having some sort of delineation between old behaviors and new. This year, though, I got myself into a pretty lazy rut over the holidays. - [Outfit Inspiration: Three Styles, Three Winter Coats](https://tailorandbarber.com/outfit-inspiration-three-styles-three-winter-coats/) - It’s that time of year. The dregs of winter have rolled in. The holidays have passed, the New Year has come and gone, and all we can do now is hibernate in our burrows until April. Unless, of course, we have a killer winter coat to help us brave the elements. Most people don't have the luxury of jetting off to some warm island for the next few months. We have to go outside, and I don't know about you, but I want to be warm AND look sharp when I do. - [Omega 10048 Pro 48 Boar Shaving Brush Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/omega-10048-pro-48-boar-shaving-brush-review/) - New year, same me. I’m back at it again with the men’s shaving product reviews. Today I’m taking a look at the Omega 10048 boar bristle shaving brush. This brush can also go by the names “Pro 48” or “Forty Eight 48”. This is one of two Omega brushes I’ve been using for the past six months or so. - [Outfit Inspiration: How to Style a Motorcycle Jacket Two Ways](https://tailorandbarber.com/outfit-inspiration-how-to-style-a-motorcycle-jacket-two-ways/) - Leather is a wonderful clothing material. It’s remarkably tough, virtually windproof, and ages beautifully. There are few things better than a time-worn patina. A leather motorcycle jacket is a great way to add both some leather and a little bit of edginess into your look. - [The Look for Less: Dev Patel's Navy Suit at the 2017 SAG Awards](https://tailorandbarber.com/the-look-for-less-dev-patels-navy-suit-at-the-2017-sag-awards/) - My social feeds have been filled with plenty of “Best Dressed” lists from Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards. Most of the lists included a lot of tuxedos, which I have no problem with. But one suit stood out for me: Dev Patel’s navy Brunello Cucinelli suit. - [Dr. Jon's Volume 2 Classic Shaving Soap and Solid Cologne Product Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/dr-jons-volume-2-classic-shaving-soap-and-solid-cologne-product-review/) - One of the great things about writing this blog is the chance to review new wet shaving products and work them into my daily shave routine. This is not my first time looking at one of Dr. Jon’s shaving soaps, but it is my first go with the new Volume Two shaving soap. - [Big News from J. Crew! Wider Lapels!](https://tailorandbarber.com/big-news-from-j-crew-wider-lapels/) - This is a true story. On Wednesday I was sitting with my wife at the kitchen catching up on the day. The newest J. Crew catalog had arrived that day, and I was flipping through it as we talked. I started to explain how I really liked the fit and fabrics of J. Crew’s suits (as a guy who’s 6 foot tall and weighs 220 pounds, I prefer the Crosby suits to the Ludlow suits). However, my biggest issue with J. Crew’s suits is that the lapels on the Ludlow suits are 2 ½ inches wide and the lapels on the Crosby suits are 2 ¾ inches wide. I think these are proportionally too slim for my build. I was literally mid-sentence explaining this to my wife when I turned the page and saw this: - [Herban Cowboy Dusk Aftershave Balm Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/herban-cowboy-dusk-aftershave-balm-review/) - Sometimes I buy a new wet shaving product, either for my personal use or for a product review, and it gets lost in my shaving cabinet. Have you seen some of my pictures of my shaving cabinet? It’s overcrowded and not very well organized, to say the least. One of the products that stayed hidden for a little while was a tube of Herban Cowboy “Dusk” aftershave balm. I re-discovered this aftershave balm when I was digging around recently, and figured there was no better time to take this for a few shaves and put together another review. - [Cap’n Hunter’s Mutiny Bay Rhum Shaving Soap and Aftershave Review](https://tailorandbarber.com/capn-hunters-mutiny-bay-rhum-shaving-soap-and-aftershave-review/) - We all know pirates loved their rum. “Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum,” and all that. But did you know they used the rum for more than just getting drunk? Imagine yourself and twenty to fifty other men out to sea for months at a time with no running water, working hours on end to sail a ship, working up a sweat in the Caribbean sun on a daily basis. - [Five Ways to Boost Your Style for Free](https://tailorandbarber.com/five-ways-to-boost-your-style-for-free/) - Let’s be honest, there are a lot of publications out there, online and print, offering advice on how to improve your style.

I took this weekend to get our Christmas lights hung and catch up on some television I had been missing (finally finished Fear the Walking Dead!) But Cyber Monday is different. It has a terrible name, but the deals are just as good, if not better than Black Friday. - [What Next?](https://tailorandbarber.com/20161111what-next/) - Since Tuesday’s election, I’ve really been struggling to justify this blog.
