      Things You Need: Cufflinks

      September 8, 2013 /

      The highest aim of men’s grooming is looking good. Being properly groomed means you feel crisp and fresh, and that doesn’t just stop with your facial (or ear) hair; it extends to your clothes.

      Recently, I’ve gotten into cufflinks. It only took 33 years, but I finally made it.

      Aside from looking awesome and being the perfect accessory for the rest of your outfit, it feels great to wear them and really cap off a great suit or business attire.

      When was the last time you saw a high power attorney, corporate CEO, former star athlete or other BSD (Big Swinging Dick) not wearing them?

      Don’t be intimidated; all you need is a French Cuff shirt and a pair of cufflinks you like. Here is a video to illustrate how easy it is:

      John McEnroe Partners with Dove + Men’s Care for 2013 ING New York City Marathon

      August 23, 2013 /

      Dove John McEnroe

      Thomas Edison famously said, “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.” If tennis legend John McEnroe and Dove Men’s + Care have their way, those numbers will be 100% inspiration and 0% perspiration, particularly at this year’s 2013 New York City Marathon.

      McEnroe is serving as “Anti-Irritation” coach to the Dove Men+Care Marathon team, a group of five runners that elected to run with 48-hour anti-irritation protection on their side. The best part is, readers can enter DOVE’s contest to run the marathon and occupy the team’s two final spots!

      Johnny Mac will be ready to chide, deride and humiliate the members of DOVE Men + Care 2013 NYC Marathon team and you could potentially be dehumanized by the most historically significant US tennis player of all-time.

      Book Review: The Bearded Gentleman: The Style Guide to Shaving Face

      July 8, 2013 /

      If ?uestlove and Black Thought from The Roots are into it, you know it has to be legit.

      “The Bearded Gentleman: The Style Guide to Shaving Face” piqued my interest in being a man again. Since the divorce, the flame had certainly flickered.

      I got my hands on a copy and the book is fantastic. It is the de facto quick reference guide on personal style in relation to facial hair ever created, and I am including “The Bible” in that generalization as well.

      “The Bearded Gentleman: The Style Guide to Shaving Face” is the perfect gift for the man in your life, or your mother-in-law who rocks a grey-haired goatee and is seemingly oblivious to it, though it makes everyone else around her so uncomfortable, they can’t even stand to look at her.

      Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest; Facial Hair And “Competitive Eating” Don’t Mix

      July 4, 2013 /

      Every Fourth of July since 1972, the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest has taken place on Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York.

      This year, American Joey Chestnut goes for his seventh consecutive title. He is one of three 6-time winners of the event.

      And guess what- none of them had beards.

      The only “competitive eater” of note to compete with any facial hair is  Takeru Kobayashi with a very scant Fu Manchu. Kobayashi also won six titles, but has been locked in a contract dispute since  2009 due to his refusal to sign an exclusive contract with the event’s organizers.

      Last year Chestnut ate 68 hot dogs to retain the title. Kobayashi has continually refused to compete and in 2011 said he conducted his own hot dog eating exhibition, claiming to have consumed 69 hot dogs in an “unsanctioned” event.
