Confessions Of An Electric Razor Skeptic

Grooming Guy Pirooz Sarshar never imagined he would try an electric shaver.  Then, he got sent a bunch for free, tried them out and guess what... he was beyond pleasantly surprised.  Read about his about face and his suggestions should you decide to "power up".  Check out The Confessions Of An Electric Shaver Skeptic.

Don't Whack Us For These Suggestions

Recent turmoil in the Garden State has certainly taken its toll on the Soprano family and the grooming habits of these goodfellas.  Never ones to sit idle as normally well-groomed gentlemen let themselves go, the Grooming Guys wanted to weigh in with some product suggestions to get Tony and crew back on track:

• A.J.  Did you see how pale that kid was after trying to anchor himself to the bottom of the family pool?  The youngest Soprano can shed that Casper look by using a little Clarins Men Self Tanning Gel.
• Tony: With all the metaphoric and literal "blood on his hands", the Godfather is certainly in need of a quality hand wash.  Nothing works and smells better than Molton Brown Fine Liquid Hand Wash boss.
• Uncle Junior: Still showing a few bumps and bruises from the beating he took at the hands of his fellow inmate a few weeks back, Junior could cover up those blemishes with the help of some Menaji Camo Concelaler. 
• Bobby Bacala:  Have you seen how heavy this guy breathes and how sweaty he is?  Can't smell too nice we imagine.  He can take the edge off that scent with a little Balla Powder and some Jack Black Pit Boss.
• Coco (The Guy Whose Teeth Tony Knocked Out):  He might as well take care of the chompers he still has.  Ya know'... keep 'em clean and white.  We imagine his mouth is pretty sensitive at this point also and as such would recommend GOSMILE's Zen Toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
• Phil Leotardo:  He seems very angry and just needs to relax.  Problem solved via Acqua di Parma Colonia Shower Gel.  It was designed to soothe and relax and maybe best of all... was made in Italy.
• Paulie:  Those grey-ish white-walls running through the side of his head are starting to turn a wee bit yellow-ish.  His grey hair can stay grey with the assisitance of American Crew Classic Grey Shampoo.

Oxy Pads For The Mature Set

Remember back in the high school days -- after homework was finished (wink, wink), teeth were brushed and you had just finished watching a riveting episode of LA Law.  That's when you'd head toward the bathroom to practice your entire skincare regimen, which in most cases, consisted up whipping out either an Oxy Pad or Clearasil Wipe to combat the inevitable zits and oily skin that often accompany such younger years. 

Problem is, those uber-harsh pads don't really do the trick for more mature skin -- not too mention no dude wants to be caught with those items in his bathroom.  To the rescue comes Anthony Logistics with their NEW Toner Pads.  Think of them as Oxy Pads for the older set.  Easy to use and not embarrassing to have in your medicine cabinet, these pads are guaranteed to tighten pores and combat oil and blemishes.

Tuck, Tuck, Goose

There is a disheartening trend we've been witnessing lately in which men sporting suits or sport coats are leaving their dress shirts untucked underneath (see photo at left).  Truth be told, we aren't the first to to touch on this sartorial faux pas (one of the men's fashion mags, we can't remember which, wrote about it a few months back), but after continued infractions we felt a civic duty to proclaim this an official "No-No" for the well-groomed gentlemen.  Why you ask?  It's just not right say these Grooming Guys.  We can't put our finger on exactly why... but it just doesn't work.

That said, we aren't about to just leave you "hanging" on the best way to tuck in a dress shirt while avoiding the dreaded "bunching" and "wrinkles".  We suggest tucking your shirt into pants which are already belted on your waist.  Try to shove your shirt into those britches evenly and forcefully.  From there, reach through the fly and tighten and straighten to your specifications.  Finally, "blouse" (got a better word?) it out of the top of your pants as needed, without forgetting about your back side.  It just works

Thanks for listening.
