Grooming

Well, what a year 2020 has been... I can not believe it's 2021 already and we are still in a lockdown, it only seems two minutes ago that the first lockdown was declared and we were all hoping this would be done and gone and we would be seeing some sort of normality by now. It seems though, that no one knows what's going on or what tier we are in, or what the rules are. After the Christmas we have all just had to - not really getting to see people or share any special time with our loved ones, it's certainly hit a lot of people's mental hard - mine included. Let's hope we can see some positive stuff in 2021 - well, after January's lockdown is over that is - and we can all begin to have an amazing year...fingers crossed... Anyway, sorry for the doom and gloom start but I promise you t...

The market is absolutely flooded with men’s grooming products, from body wash to beard growth serum there is literally a product for everything. However, this is when the problem starts, the market gets saturated with poor products and it puts men who aren’t used to a skincare routine, off buying another one to try. Fortunately Carl and I have already done a lot of trialling for you, and there is one brand that always comes out on top. That brand is Men-U.   For those who are new to Men-U they were founded in the UK in 2001 that hold a vast range of products.

Compact 15ml tubes that pack ...

Most of you will know we both have a beard, but that doesn't mean we never shave. Unless you have perfectly shaped facial hair or your necklines are totally covered then at some point you will need to neaten it. This means decent razors and shaving supplies are needed, even for a bearded man. Although I wouldn't advise just buying a shaving kit for someone with a beard, they could take this the wrong way! However, a Shaver Review goes a long way to ensure you get the right bit of kit! So why line up? Some people complain that growing beards can look messy, this is where lining up comes into play. If you keep on top of your beard line, keeping to the natural shape of it but straightening or giving it a slight curve, depending on how it grows ensures you look well-kept. It literally takes...

Has anyone ever looked in the mirror and thought, what the hell is that looking back at me?   Well, this was me about 3 weeks ago, all I could think to myself was, Jesus I've let myself go! My skin looked awful, my hair and facial hair were a right mess and the bags under my eyes were shocking, I was honestly so embarrassed that I had let it go so far. Male grooming and looking after myself has been quite a passion for me since I started blogging and I loved trying out different products and seeing the effects they had on my skin, hair, and beard but sadly as of late I have really struggled for time and that means my grooming routine was me doing the bare minimum, so I was only using a face wash and I wasn't really taking care of my beard and I wasn't using any products at all on my hair...
