Today I will write a quick review of the 4711 cream soap bar. 4711 was launched as a traditional German Eau de Cologne a very long time ago, back in 1799 and is still available to buy today. They have apparently been using the same formula for around 200 years. The...

Today is a special day because I am about to quickly introduce you to one of my favourite fragrance houses, Jacques Bogart. The selected fragrance for this review is One Man Show (OMS) Ruby Edition, which forms part of the OMS line. In addition to the Ruby Edition,...

If you are looking for a classic masculine fragrance that sets itself apart from most of today's current releases, you could do a lot worse than Quorum by Antonio Puig. It was released in 1981, a time when a man's cologne was so strong it could interfere with your...

Today, I am writing a quick review on Duke Cannon's Gun Smoke Big Ass Brick of Soap, a brand I have been hearing about regularly and have wanted to try for some time. The company has a bold, back-to-basics approach to its marketing strategy, creating products...

The Grandpa ‘pine tar’ soap is a product that is well worth a mention on this blog, as it has now become a regular purchase for me and is used by the whole family. The Grandpa Soap co, established in 1878, is as old as the hills and appears to have been manufacturing...

Old Spice, a personal favourite of mine, was initially launched in 1937 as 'Early American Old Spice' by William Lightfoot Schultz. Believe it or not, before they started making men's grooming products, the first fragrance released by the company was for women, miles...

Today I am writing a quick review of the TOPPCOCK Mahogany Musk Soap, which I have used for the last few days. I haven’t heard much about this company, but with a name like TOPPCOCK, one might suspect a tongue-in-cheek approach to their marketing strategy. They do...

Today I will review a gem called the Clubman Pinaud Aftershave Lotion. The origins of this brand date back to sometime in the early 19th century, so to say it has stood the test of time would be an understatement. A men’s grooming company that is approximately 200...
