The Art of Shaving Acquired by Gillette

June 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

We received some big news this week. Apparently, shaving giant Gillette (owned by Proctor & Gamble) has acquired The Art of Shaving Brand. Seems like it was just yesterday back in 2007 when the two shaving companies were collaborating on TAOS’s recently released Fusion Collection. I guess that has done well for the two companies and they have decided to combine forces. The Art of Shaving was founded back in 1996 by a husband and wife team: Like most men, Eric had sensitive skin. One day, in the kitchen of their... [Read the full story]

Wet Shave vs. Electric - Which Provides A Closer Shave?

August 15, 2008 · 1 Comment

It’s true, you may save a few minutes by using an electric razor and yes you can also use this method while riding down the road, but it’s a fact that a wet blade gives the closest shave and that’s what we’re all looking for. A closer shave will, of course, cut the beard nearer to the skin, which will extend the time until you need to shave again. A wet shave gives you more effective shaves and better looking skin. The hot water opens the pores of your skin, relaxes your facial muscles, and softens... [Read the full story]

Foot Funk

May 31, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Funk music (e.g. James Brown or Parliament-Funkadelic) can best be recognized by its syncopated rhythms, thick bass line, and razor-sharp rhythm guitars. Foot funk on the other hand can best be recognized by its pungent aroma, pinched noses, and comments like “Put your damn shoes back on!” We think you should enjoy a little good funk music from time to time, but by all means stay away from foot funk! Why do feet stink? The feet are densely covered with sweat glands (approx 250,000 each) that try to keep them... [Read the full story]

Burns & Brows

All right fellas, this tip should be straight up common sense. Unfortunately, for some of you it is not! Burns As far as the burns are concerned (sideburns if you are still wondering), no lower than the ear lobe. If you choose to venture that low or further, remember that Beverly Hills 90210 was popular in the 90’s. The 90’s! Also, keep them trimmed up in between haircuts (note: braided sideburns are not cool). Brows For the brows… do we really need to comment on this? Okay, you saw Gladiator right? Awesome...

There’s More Than One Way To Tie A Tie

“A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life” - Oscar Wilde in his “The Importance of Being Earnest” We’ve seen it time and time again. Crooked ties, lopsided ties, midriff ties that dangle halfway down the front. Neckties have become a symbol of elegance, refinement and distinction in today’s world. But, just owning a necktie is not going to get you anywhere… you need to tie it properly! It can be the difference in being the office dud or the office stud. A... [Read the full story]
