  • Best Ways to Soothe Irritation and Nicks After Shaving Your Head

    Being Bald

    Shaving your head is liberating and can result in a sleek and stylish look, but it requires good technique and attention to detail if you want to avoid the dreaded irritation and nicks that can come with it. Knowing how to take care of your scalp post-shave is crucial. I don’t claim to be an…

  • Life Lessons From a Feathered Friend

    Daily Prompt

    Having a pet hen might sound unconventional to some, but to me, my little feathered friend was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first moment she strutted her way into my life, she brought with her a sense of joy, companionship, and a dash of humour that only she could provide. I often found…

  • Head Shaving Blade Reviews Part 1: Derby Premium, Wilkinson Sword, Shark Platinum

    Being Bald, Reviews

    Part 1 of 2 | Read Part 2 In my last post about head shaving, in which I reviewed the Henson AL13 razor, I talked about how I’d ordered six sample packs of blades to try in the AL13, after being disappointed with the Henson-branded RK-stainless blades that shipped with the razor.

    Men’s Style, Reviews

    I’ve been on the hunt for some new Oxford cloth button-down (OCBD) shirts for a while, but couldn’t find any that met my requirements, until I landed on “The Ivy Shirt” line from John Simons.

  • Upgrading from Foil to Blades for Head Shaving

    Being Bald

    For over four years, I’ve been shaving my head daily, starting off with a rotary shaver (Remington RX5) for the first year, before switching to a foil shaver (Babyliss Pro Titanium) for the last three years. The Babyliss was great, but I was starting to get frustrated with the cleaning process after each shave, which…

  • Review: Barbour x Baracuta Porton Wax Jacket (Harrington G9)

    Men’s Style, Reviews

    I’ve had a Navy Harrington jacket in my wardrobe for several years, but have barely worn it because I was unhappy with the material and fit.
