Anthony Logistics For Men Pre-Shave Oil

I feel if shaving was an olympic sport I would want to compete! Truth be told shaving is one of my pet peeves as I can't stand scruff! I know some people find it rough and sexy; for me its downright annoying!

My personal view on achieving the perfect or close to perfect shave is a combination of a good razor 4 or 5 blades, and a good shaving cream. What I did not know is that if you use a "pre-shave oil" it can cut down your shaving time in half, as well give you a closer shave.

Anthony logistics for men pre-shave oil is just that product every man should be using. A little goes a long way and is a life saver on your face! If I shave twice a day that's 730 shaves a year, let's just make it 800. Just remember its the amount of time you take to shave, not the amount of times. At roughly $20.00 for a bottle of this oil it's well worth the cost and should last about a month if not a little more and give your razors a little more life until they dull on you.

Brain Wood has been in the fashion game for quite some time but has been flying under the radar, granted one can't keep track of everybody; his sense of urban mens street style is quite appealing. From some past information gathered via the web Mr. Wood had been designing more hip-hop street clothing with a twist by infusing iconic cultural references in his clothing, but sometimes things have to change.

Blacktop astronauts his latest collection shows this change in a major way, in effect directing his customer to a more grown up style of dressing. In truth we can't all or want to be kids forever and this collection pulls a modern aspect to grown up hip hop style dress.

Two important things stand out for this line, one he is working with a limited color palette and two its a small collection in general, focusing on outerwear and separate pieces. By delivering a smaller line it takes the guess work out of picking styles and does not overwhelm his customers. I mean let's be honest most regular guys don't want to spend hours and hours pouring over racks of clothes. For more information head over to http://www.brianwoodonline.com
