If you predict or routinely present above average post-defecatory bouquet you can simply press a button, passing olfactory judgement from your personal throne of kings. (Despite the name of this website, we do recommend keeping a […]
John Allan Shaving Roll Up
2 Comments Published by Joel January 10th, 2008 in Grooming, Hair. Share ThisAlthough I’ve gone all electric with my shaving gear at the moment, both because I have a beard that only needs modest trimming and because it makes travel easier, this “Roll Up” from John Allan is god damn appealing.

Bruce Campbell Covers Duran Duran for Old Spice
1 Comment Published by Joel May 14th, 2007 in Grooming. Share ThisThere’s no punchline in this commercial, which may be why I like it.

Bruce’s […]
