Old world tradition meets new world glamour with this deluxe soap on a rope that lathers up easily and rinses off quickly without drying the skin. What without drying the skin? You don’t say. I’m going to have to order this one. I might even ditch the cologne since its lightly scented with Tom Ford For Men.

Is anyone else having hair issues this winter? This weather tends to damage my hair so much so that I’ve searched long and hard for the right solution. I’ve gone through plenty of different shampoos and conditioners, but Baxter of California’s daily protein shampoo is now an essential here at Por Homme.

It delivers a mega-dose of protein, coenzymes A, B5, B6, B12, Q10, and other nutrients to promote hair strength, body, and superior manageability. Tea tree oil and cinnamon extract invigorate and provide antiseptic protection. Gentle formula removes buildup, environmental pollutants, and natural toxins like DHT, a male hormone found to be harmful to the hair’s growth cycle.

Just lather into hair and scalp, rinse and repeat as needed.

Identical twins Dean and Dan Caten, creators of the Dsquared, have released their scents for men and women.  Guys, be glad that He Wood for Men is much more appealing than 90% of the colognes out there.

It was released in September with a launch party to match.  Guys and Gals were introduced with young men and women with more information about two scents.  Plus, they even commented on the scents you were wearing as you came in.

This weather’s beginning to hit us hard, literally.  How many times a day are we really going to reach for the bottle of lotion?  Ditch the lotion and pick up the recovery mask by Elemis.  It’s filled with almond, lavender, and vitamin E to add moisture immediately and soothe red sore skin.

It’s made for after shaving, but trust us when we say you’ll be glad you used it before walking out in this weather.  Didn’t know it was cold out?  Use the recovery mask afterwards for faster recovery times.  Just put it on in the shower and wash it off when getting out.  It’s effortless and affective.

Buy It: $46 for 75ml

I saw snow hit the Northeast yesterday and I thought to myself - “Shit. I hope people aren’t still wearing summer colognes.”  Well let’s hope you’re not.  If you are still shopping for the perfect cologne to blend with your coats and sweaters, we recommend Givenchy’s Pi Neo.

In the words of Sephora:

Pi Neo plays with the limits of time, space, and matter.  Inspired by the movie The Matrix, this futuristic, adventurous men’s fragrance uses notes of toscanol, myrtle, and patchouli to create the illusion of a virtual world.

Sounds interesting.  The smell’s appealing so we suggest you check it out.

Weiden+Kennedy’s duo of Michael Illick and Eric Baldwin have done it again.  The first ad is LL Cool J showing us how he became so “cool” and the second features NFL superstar Brian Urlacher showing us how he lost his lisp and rose to stardom.  Both thank Old Spice Swagger for their turnarounds.

A study concludes that woman take more than an hour to get ready for a night out.  The poll was of 3,000 woman and eight percent of those woman admitted to taking longer than two hours to get ready.  Holy mother of Pablo. That’s crazy.

For the average woman, planning of the night takes about four phone calls usually and adds up to about an hour as well.  For anyone that wants the details on specific parts of their routine, here it goes. She’ll take about 15 minutes in the shower, 21 doing her hair (seems much longer), 17 minutes trying on outfits and 12 minutes putting on make-up.

But wait, it doesn’t stop there.  Once a woman gets to wherever she’s going, she’ll take another 29 minutes fixing her hair and make-up in the lavatory.  Damn.  She’ll usually head out around 8 and will come back five hours and 22 minutes later.

Well, not quite, but for $30K, we’re assuming those blades are mighty sharp.

HOMMAGE has created a limited edition straight razor forged from legendary Damascene Steel. Combining the best qualities of hard and malleable steel, layer upon layer is folded onto the next, each becoming visible through a meticulous process of grinding and polishing. Hard, durable and incredibly sharp, the characteristic rose and torsion pattern attests to its superior craftsmanship.

There has to be something special about it.  Something they’re not telling us.  It makes pigs fly, makes panties drop, turns us into Batman.  Something.  Anything?  Guess we’ll have to wait until someone coughs up the $30K and lets us know how it goes.
