Brother, can you spare some style?

July 20, 2010 / Staff

In tough economic times it can be hard to justify the kind of pampering you might be used to. You might be tempted to cut back, scrimping on products that are vital to a man’s daily routine. You don’t have to turn your back on a good grooming routine, though, and if you’re looking for work, you might even want to increase your grooming budget. Looking your best doesn’t have to break the bank, though.

Will Harris put it this way in his latest Gillette Pro series at the Bullz-Eye Blog:

…we’ve already discussed in a previous column about how guys tend to buy a razor and stick with it for the long haul, so just go ahead and invest in Gillette’s new Fusion ProGlide and get it over with. First and foremost, it proves an awesome shave, but more importantly in this instance, odds are that you won’t feel the urge to replace it until well after you’ve found gainful employment again. As for your shaving gel and any of the other products with which you prefer to pamper your face, start scouring the Sunday papers for coupons as well as fliers for sales at your neighborhood drug store or pharmacy. If you keep your eyes open, the odds of you having to pay full price for these amenities drop significantly.

Using a shaver with a special trimming blade like the Gillette Fusion will help you reach the tough stuff. But your biggest weapon in the war against runaway hairs is time. Spend a minute or two to cross-check your handiwork.

A chat with Finbar McFall

July 10, 2010 / Staff

Finbar McFall certainly has one of the world’s more interesting names, but it suits his job as VP of marketing for Land Rover North America. Our publisher, Gerardo Orlando, had the opportunity in late May to speak with McFall about this iconic luxury brand, and ask about the challenges Land Rover and other car companies have faced over the past two years with the economic crisis.

Fortunately, people are buying cars again, and that’s great for Land Rover, the other car companies and the overall economy as well. If you’re thinking about a luxury vehicle or a rugged larger vehicle, check out the interview and hear from Finbar why a Land Rover or a Range Rover might be your best option.

Here’s a little excerpt:

BE: I guess I’ll finish then with how have things changed at the company now that you’re under Tata as opposed to Ford?
FM: Well you know from our perspective, our objectives, you know we’re here to sell cars and be profitable, that’s just the same. Under the ownership of Tata we have great support to go and get done what we need to do in this market. So it’s down to us whether we succeed or fail. You know we’ve got a great team here, very motivated, we all love working for the brand. So that’s just the same Gerardo, our mission to go out there and you know, from a marketing perspective increase awareness and desirability of our brands and our products, that’s the same. So we get our heads down and we’re getting the job done every day.

As always, you can find our latest auto news and reviews at the Bullz-Eye Cars channel.

July 10, 2010 / Staff

When I was sent the new Fusion ProGlide Razor there was a small container included with the package. In a tube was the Gillette Fusion ProSeries Thermal Face Scrub and I didn’t know what to expect because I had not used a pre shave scrub before. Let me tell you first and foremost that this is one great product and all of us guys should treat ourselves to a better shave using this scrub. Once you apply this product it warms your entire face and quite frankly will relax you as well.

The thermal scrub also Clears away dirt and oil, clearing a path for the razor so you get a clean and seamless shave. Try it, use it and enjoy it!
