Best Super Bowl Haircut – Tiquan Underwood
Posted by Paul Eide (02/04/2012 @ 4:36 pm)

I don’t know what I like better- the Hi-Top Fade, or the Patriots logo shaved into the back of his head. Underwood, listed at 6-1, is closer to 6-6 with his hair.
The only thing cooler would be if Tom Brady rocked a Patriots logo on his dome. But we all know, Giselle wouldn’t allow it.
BarberShopBlog prediction- Patriots 34, Giants 20. Tom Brady wins and may be the best QB ever.

Will The Redemption (for the Patriots) be the most ordered cocktail of the week or will Deja Blue (For the Giants) take reign again? Only 5 Napkin goers will decide, and the winning cocktail will be revealed on Monday morning after the big game.
The “Hornitos Bowl” was started as a fun way to create new cocktails both priced at $10 a piece on the 5 Napkin Burger menu. The Hornitos Bowl begins today and will continue through the end of the Super Bowl on Sunday night.

Tom vs. Eli: Personal Style Edition
Posted by Paul Eide (01/31/2012 @ 12:05 am)

It’s “Super Bowl Week”, ladies and germs. And if I hear one more comparison between Eli Manning and Tom Brady, I’m going to vomit. So instead of comparing their playing styles, let’s compare their hair and personal style.
While watching (sleeping) the Pro Bowl last night, half time consisted of a Bob Costas led interview with Tom Brady and then Eli Manning.
“Tom Terrific” looked dapper as ever, sporting perfectly coifed hair to match a perfect grey suit, accented with a black and white checkered dress shirt with a perfect black tie, tied into a perfect “Windsor” knot. Eli, meanwhile, had all the charm of an orphan with his overgrown, “mussed” hair and a cheap faux fleece pullover that looked like a $15 one from Old Navy that I own. Eli seemed disoriented, while “Tommy Ballgame” answered every question the way you want your son to answer every question when he grows up, even if you don’t have a son.
If the clash of wardrobes on Sunday night was any indication, the Patriots will roll.
Male Grooming- Now Huge In Korea
Posted by Paul Eide (01/28/2012 @ 12:43 am)

The numbers are in. And Korean men love their skin even more than Americans do. In 2010, Korean men spent 425.7 billion “won” on skincare products which was the most in the world and followed by China, Japan and the USA.
High ranking Korean politicians have also responded to the booming trend by making improvements of their own that are really funny to read about and visualize.
My favorite?

Flacco’s Facial Hair- Cooler If Tom Brady Wore It?
Posted by Paul Eide (01/23/2012 @ 9:45 pm)
m
Heading into Sunday’s AFC championship which the Ravens would eventually lose, starting QB Joe Flacco had been catching a lot of “flak” about his moustache. Erroneously reported as a “Handlebar Moustache” by numerous NFL TV experts (Rollie Fingers had to be furious), Flacco was actually sporting a “Fu Manchu” during the Ravens playoff run.
As a man, it’s important you know the difference. The “Fu Manchu”, while similar to the “Handlebar” is different because the Fu Manchu is grown only from the upper lip, whilst the sides remain clean shaven.
So it begs the question- if Tom Brady started sporting one, would it suddenly become “cool”?
The Crew Cut Is Dead- But Why??
Posted by Paul Eide (01/20/2012 @ 1:31 am)

Who killed the Crew Cut? Was it Chris Mullin? Was it the military?
“I want answers! I want the truth!” “You can’t handle the truth!”
Recently, Robert Pattinson got credit for sporting a Crew Cut, but since when is “high and tight” a Crew Cut? Uhh, since NEVER. My grandfather promply rolled over in his grave, uttered the word “Pansy’s” and went back to sleep.
Wait- if a teeny bopper is sporting one, it can’t be dead, right?? But if you’re going to do it, please do it right. Now, pass the whiskey.
Product Review: “The Hangover” Recovery Shot
Posted by Paul Eide (01/17/2012 @ 10:26 pm)

It won’t help your hair, but it will sure help that thing underneath your hair, aka your BRAIN. You know, that thing that tells you it would be a “good idea” to drink all those $3 Jim Beam’s on a weeknight. Or, tells you it would be a “good idea” to hit on that woman conducting the job interview. Nice work, jerk.
Even if you weren’t drunk the night before, “Hangover Joe’s” will get you into gear when “you need that extra push, over the cliff.”
“Project Badass”: Biggie Haircut
Posted by Paul Eide (01/06/2012 @ 12:09 pm)

Maybe I’m just easily impressed, but I think shaving a hip-hop icon into the back of your head is pretty badass. It doesn’t even have to be a hip-hop icon necessarily- it could be Don Henley and I’d still stare at it in wonderment, with mouth agape.
I think we’re all pretty familiar with hair grapics by now, see an example thanks to the former “Ron Artest” here if not.
But it’s evolved even further. Check out this link to a barber in Ohio who carves (no clippers used, purportedly) the profile of one Biggie Smalls into the back of a customer’s head.
“Project Badass”, anyone?
Nice Caucus!

The Spa- Not Just For The Ladies Anymore
Posted by Paul Eide (12/29/2011 @ 2:37 pm)

Did you know that men comprise roughly 40% of the clientele that regularly visit a spa? What would John Wayne say? Probably nothing good, but male spa-goaers have increased roughly 900% in the last five years.
So what does this mean for you, the casual “Male-Groomer”? It means you should hit a spa and get a facial; it will do wonders for your skin and make shaving that much easier.
