Ah, beauty products. It’s not every day you discover one that works for both you AND the boyfriend. I recently got to try a new line of unisex hair products from French brand, Privé, that is trés amazing. This eco-friendly line has everything from shampoo to conditioner to finishing creme.

My favorite product? The Grooming Creme for those bothersome fly-aways and frizzies.

Boyfriend Derrick generously offered to test the products as well. The guy’s perspective? “Enough hold without being greasy, and smells great too. Makes me feel like a ridiculously good looking European dude,” he said of the Sculpting Pomade.

So thanks Prive for your lovely hair products – together Derrick and I have become a ridiculously well-coiffed couple. Merci!

Most men neglect a very important, yet very underrated aspect of looking (ridiculously) good – Yes, I’m talking about shaving.

Unlike clothing, you won’t ever hear people say, “Nice shave!” or “That’s a sexy shave you have there!” or “Wow, that shave matches your top really well.”  You just don’t get the fashion appeal from shaving that you get from clothing, yet it’s one accessory you wear every day.

When it comes to shaving, do it right – your face will thank you.  Here’s how:

a) Pre-Shave Oil : Essential for softening the facial hair and preparing the skin for a smooth shave.

b) Shaving Cream : Not your typical Gilette “spray out of can” Shaving Gel.  A good shaving creme prevents ingrown hairs, razor burns and cuts…ouch.

c) Shaving Brush : Use one. Brushes help create a nice lather that will get you that close comfortable shave.

d) After-Shave Moisturizer : Soothes and moisturizes the skin to give that refreshing feeling after a shave.

The Art of Shaving Full Size Kit ($100) offers Pre-Shave Oil (2 fl. oz), Shaving Cream (5.3 oz), After-Shave Balm (4 fl. oz), and a Pure Badger Shaving Brush.

Comes in 4 aromatherapy-based scents so you can smell as good as you look.
