      800razors.com Challenges Boston Red Sox To Tweak Their Beards for “Movember”

      Boston-Red-Sox-Philip-Masiello

      800razors.com, the burn-free razor company, today challenges the World Series champion Boston Red Sox players to help stand up to cancer and show their support by turning playoff beards into Movember mustaches for the entire month of November.

      Movember is a month-long event that raises awareness for testicular cancer, prostate cancer, and mental health issues impacting men. Men around the world are challenged to grow a mustache and show their solidarity for this important cause.

      “Let’s talk balls – testicles not baseballs”, said Philip Masiello, President of 800razors.com and a die-hard Yankees fan. “The Boston Red Sox showed they had the balls to win the World Series. Now, I challenge this Red Sox team to show they have the balls to raise awareness for cancer. If 10 players accept my challenge, I will personally drive razors up to Boston and help them shave their beards into mustaches on Monday. If they keep their mustaches through the month of November, 800razors.com will make a donation to the Movember charity in their names.”

      Those that have survived prostate or testicular cancer are encouraged to share their stories at 800razors.com’s Facebook Page to help raise awareness and encourage others to get checked. In addition, 800razors.com challenges other businesses to get involved by rallying together to grow mustaches, encourage check-ups for early detection and donate to the Movember cause.

      Says Masiello, “I encourage all men to get an exam, go to a clinic, see their doctor, do a self-exam—do whatever it takes to stay healthy and remove the stigma associated with testicular and prostate cancer!”

      BarberShopBlog interviews Chicago Bears All-Pro Charles Tillman on breast cancer, Deion Sanders and Halloween

      November 1, 2013 /

      Charles Tillman is so good, you take him for granted. Even during an 11-year career as a member of some of the fiercest defenses in NFL history, his consistent production and greatness are rarely recognized outside of Chicago.

      “Peanut” owns the Bears’ career records for defensive touchdowns (9), interceptions returned for touchdowns (8) and forced fumbles (39). Thanks to his signature move the “Peanut Punch,” his 10 forced fumbles last year set an NFL single-season record, and the four fumbles he forced in a game against the Titans a year ago is the all-time single game record. His 36 career interceptions are just two away from tying Gary Fencik for the Bears’ franchise record.

      With two Pro Bowl selections and an appearance in Super Bowl XLI, Tillman’s overall body of work solidifies him as the best cornerback in the history of the Chicago Bears and potentially as the most disruptive defensive back of all-time.

      You’re working with Proctor & Gamble on a campaign for breast cancer awareness. Tell me about that.

      I partnered with P&G to encourage women to have an early detection plan with breast cancer. And, for the men in their lives, to motivate the women in their lives to create a plan. Everyone talks about how October is breast cancer awareness month. We have pink gloves, pink shoes, pink wrist bands, but it doesn’t just end there. Breast cancer doesn’t wait; it comes when it wants to. And you shouldn’t wait. Go to PGEveryday.com/bca and get the app. This app will give you notifications that you need to go see your doctor this month, or get a checkup another time, and it gives you a reminder to have an early detection plan. If breast cancer is detected early enough, there’s a 98% survival rate. I’m not a math guy, but I will take those odds.

      You’re the most physical corner in the NFL, which for some reason is very rare in the game; to have a real physical corner that can stop the run and jam receivers at the line. Why is that? Why are so many corners soft, and can we blame Deion Sanders for that?

      No, I don’t think you can blame Deion for that. I think it’s just what is required of our defense. And it’s not just me; my other Pro Bowl corner Tim Jennings… he and I are in the same boat. I think there are a lot of physical corners, not just to name myself and Tim. But I think what makes ours more evident is the type of defense that we play. It’s required that our corners make tackles and make plays.

      How to get the James Bond Style

      October 31, 2013 /

      james-bond

      James Bond is an icon to both men and women, even to this day, more than 40 years after the first film was released. We still love his style! This is not just about his sharp dress sense, no this is about each aspect of his cool and calm demeanour; from his sharp suits all the way through to his attitude towards life, he is the epitome of chilled out. This is the exact reason that many of us want to take a leaf out of Bond’s book and turn towards his outlook for our lives. The question is, how do we do this? Here is your definitive guide to turning on the charm, James Bond style.

      Learn how to play the tables

      We all know that Bond has an infinity to the casino lifestyle; from playing the games to ordering those Martinis from the bar. This is why a night at the casino could make you feel like the next 007, but firstly you need to learn how to play the game as Bond rarely looses. There are hundreds of classic games to choose from, like Roulette, Poker and slots games but remember that Bond is a classic man so you need to choose wisely with this in mind.

      Before you enter the casino, make sure you have done your homework about the game that you have chosen. Look into strategies, how other people have beaten the odds and how you will do the same. Once you have all the information before you, then you could be the next big winner but not before you have got the perfect outfit for your night.

      Look the part to feel the part

      James Bond is always immaculately dressed, whether he be wearing a sharp tailored suit or a relaxed afternoon shorts suit; he is the perfect representation of style. So as part of your casino experience, you also need to dress the part and that all starts with the suit. Let’s face it, it couldn’t be any other outfit really and this will be where you can really take on the Bond persona. For a night at the casino tables, fighting off the bad guys – at least metaphorically – you will need a tuxedo, or a blending between a traditional suit with hints of tux luxury.

      The color you choose is entirely up to you, but nothing says it better than black, however adding a hint of bold color will add in your own personality as well as channeling your inner Bond. So add in your own personality to a black suit with a bold colored tie and comber band.

      Look at the food and drink during the evening

      It is a well known fact that James Bond will only drink Martini shaken not stirred; well that is until the last Bond film when he does sport a bottle of beer. Now, if you are looking for an evening that doesn’t involve alcohol, especially if you are driving, then head for a non alcoholic cocktail as nothing screams decadence and Bond more than a cocktail. You should team this with a trip to the casino restaurant if there is one. If there isn’t then planning in where you are going to eat in advance is advised, especially if you are taking a special date with you.

      Bud Light NFL Fans Superstition Survey

      October 26, 2013 /

      Bud-Light-Most-Superstitious

      Bud Light – the official beer of the NFL – recently conducted a survey to find the most superstitious fans in the NFL.

      More than 9,500 interviews were fielded among the 32 NFL team fan bases, including approximately 300 fan interviews per team.

      More than 50 questions were asked and, out of that, an “NFL Fan Superstition Index” formed. The index calculates the superstition level of each NFL fan base by each fan’s game-day habits – everything from wearing dirty jerseys, chanting and kissing team trinkets to superstition consistency and true belief levels – and aggregates those into a score from 0 to 100. In addition to ranking the teams, the survey also gathered open-ended responses from fans about their individual superstitious activities.

      The result is a fascinating glimpse inside the minds of NFL fans who will do whatever it takes for the win. After all, it’s only weird if it doesn’t work:

      – Super Bowl and superstition champions: Baltimore Ravens fans rank as the most superstitious in the NFL.
      – That’s dedication: Carolina Panthers fans are four times more likely than the average NFL fan to have a relationship end due to their game-day superstitions (8% versus the NFL fan average of 2%).
      – New Orleans Saints fans are most likely to say a certain saying, phrase, cheer or song for the win (37%).
      – New York Jets fans are most likely to try to curse or jinx the opposing team (37%).
      – Some quality me time: Detroit Lions fans are most likely to engage in superstitious activities alone (30%).
      – Lucky duds: Oakland Raiders fans are most likely to wear the same article of clothing (51%) or same hat or non-clothing accessory (38%) to boost team performance.
      – Arizona Cardinals fans are most likely to grab a Bud Light for the win; 27% incorporate the official beer sponsor of the NFL into their game-day superstitions or rituals.
