Truth is, this blog posting is going to be a blatant sales pitch from a couple semi-neurotic business owners. Not a slimy used car salesman (no offense Bill) sales pitch -- but instead -- an honest, behind-the-scenes, holy-cow, I can't believe how many kits we have in stock, thinking out loud, portrayal of our real feelings, sales pitch.
When we walked into our D.C. warehouse today, it was overflowing with Holiday Grooming Sets. Not just two or three, but dozens of different kinds of kits... each kit went at least 15-deep in its stocking. After viewing these mountains of kits and taking a few Xanax, we settled down and collectively said the following mantra:
"These kits are special. They are great deals. Men will buy them for themselves, men will buy them for other men and women will buy them for their sweeties. You can't beat these deals with a stick. These are much better than crappy ties or sweaters. "
So the bottom line is this, we've got great kits and we want people to buy them for the holidays. You won't be sorry and you'll help us sleep better at night. Check all our gift sets out here.
Do you want any undercoating with that?
We won't say who, but one of the Grooming Guys has been suffering from a bit of skin irritation lately. To rectify the problem, this unidentified Grooming Guy recently received a Cleansing Face Treatment and consultation from Grooming Lounge Men's Skin Expert, the lovely and talented Nikki Parker.
The facial was great, but her suggestion of using a scrub was what really helped the most. She guaranteed this scrub would help with any razor bumps or irritation -- as it would up-root the facial hair that was curling around, going back into the skin and causing bumps (yummy!). She said to use it four or so times a week -- and that's just what this mystery man did.
The results have been awesome -- less irritation and no bumps to be seen anywhere. So, if you are having similar problem, why not try and feel the "power of scrub."
We're Grooming Guys and spend the majority of our time working with men on how to improve their physical appearance -- mainly focusing on their hair, skin and nails. Looking dapper in these areas certainly goes a long way toward making a gentleman feel truly gentlemanly and impressing those who need to be impressed.
That said, there are certain things outside the realm of grooming that also contribute to a man's "put togetherness." Attire is right at the top of this list and a man's wardrobe obviously plays a big role in the way he is viewed. But often overlooked in this wardrobe is the most suave accessory out there, a small item that sets any guy apart and immediately envelops him with an aura of classic coolness. We're talking about the luxury pen.
Everyday in our stores we have the privilege of providing services to hundreds of gentlemen. Most of the time these gentlemen pay for said services with a credit card and sometimes, if we're lucky, these gents will refuse our pen and pull their own out of their jacket and sign away. When they reach for such a "piece," you're pretty much guaranteed a Bic ain't coming out of that coat. Instead, nine times out of 10 they'll be wielding a Montblanc, Dunhill or a Waterford. It makes us proud... the whole "let me use my pen" thing is the the kind of thing James Bond or Dean Martin would probably do. Who knows?
Anyway, the point is, carrying your own luxury pen is dapper as can be. Don't you ink?
