Bacon Dental Hygiene Products

Along with my taste in bourbon, my love of bacon is an attribute many men find endearing. I really love bacon. However, even I am hesitant to purchase bacon flavored toothpicks or bacon flavored dental floss. Hmmm...perhaps they would be good as a gag gift or stocking stuffer.

Product Review: Origins Fire Fighter

Back in the days when we were dating I purchased Origins Fire Fighter for my husband. Call it an attempt at metrosexualization, call it attempt at making shaving less painful so that he would do it more often...whatever! It worked! The lotion is a wonderful soothing aftershave developed for the man with sensitive skin. It works wonders at preventing razor burn and at providing a little extra moisture to abused, sensitive skin. Origins has recently improved the product by adding an ingredient that causes your whiskers to grow back slower, leading to less shaving and happier skin. As soon as my husband has finished his current bottle of the old formula of Fire Fighter we are definitely investing in the new formulation!

Product Review: Lush Coalface

Lush is a British handmade cosmetics company that is quickly building a following in the United States. Their coalface soap is an excellent product for oily and acne prone skin. The soap is a distinctive black color because one of it's main ingredients is charcoal, a natural astringent and antibiotic. The charcoal also acts as a very mild exfoliant, giving the soap a slightly grainy texture. Unlike many other lush products, this soap has a very subtle smell (licorice) that does not linger on the skin. Interestingly, this product is also vegan. As Lush hand cuts their soap in the store, it is possible to obtain a small sample size bar to give the product a test run before really committing to it.

I recommend Coalface for the man with oily skin looking for an face cleanser that doesn't leave behind much of a scent. As an added bonus, this soap will look at home in your shower, on the edge of your sink and at your gym.
