Men’s Health announces Grooming Award Winners for 2010

Every year Men’s Health magazine asks its readers to vote for their favourite grooming products. Thousands of ordinary blokes vote and so I always think of the winners and ‘highly commendeds’ as being a good gauge of what’s hot out there at the moment, grooming-wise. And this year, a raft of products stocked here on Mankind received prestigious gongs or were… read the rest of “Men’s Health announces Grooming Award Winners for 2010”

Stealing your grooming products?

It's her epilator ok? The clue is in the colour!

The other day I read a fascinating, but rather alarming, survey that revealed that over three quarters of men admit to stealing tbeir partner’s beauty products, with over a third saying they often pinch their partner’s shampoo and 1 in 10 admitting to using someone else’s razor… read the rest of “Stealing your grooming products? ”

Looking tired?

This last week I have found myself in the unfortunate position of having to do hospital visiting. As anyone who’s ever done it will know, visiting a relative can be a pretty tiring experience especially if the hospital isn’t on your doorstep (the one I’ve been visiting is 15 miles away).

By the time I got back in the evening… read the rest of “Looking tired? ”

Lab Series has wrinkles licked!

Last week I had the pleasure of attending a special press dinner for the launch of Lab Series’ brand new anti-aging solution, Max LS Age-Less Face Cream.

New Year’s resolutions?

At this time of year we’re all tempted to make a few New Year’s Resolutions but whilst it’s all very well vowing to join that gym or never touch a Ginsters pasty again, I find a few grooming resolutions don’t go amiss either. But just in case you’re struggling for ideas, here are a few promises definitely worth… read the rest of “New Year's resolutions? ”

Looking good for your age?

Let’s face it, we all like to be complemented on how well we’ve aged. So 45-year-old actor Clive Owen must be thrilled with the results of a new poll conducted by Trevor Sorbie which names him as the British male celebrity thought to have aged the best (though it’s bizarre that a decidedly craggy Hugh Laurie should come second).… read the rest of “Looking good for your age?”

Fancy growing a ‘tache for cash?

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been banging on (to just about anyone who’ll listen) about this the current Tacheback campaign, organised by the Everyman charity. In case you’re not familiar with the initiative, the charity – which raises much-needed money for research into testicular and prostate cancer – is asking men to grow a ‘tache in order to… read the rest of “Fancy growing a 'tache for cash?”

R.I.P Arena 1986-2009.

I’m not sure how many of you know this but Arena magazine finally ceased publication a couple of weeks ago. And whilst I don’t really think it’s been all that good for several years now (it just didn’t seem to be able to decide what it was or who it was for), its passing marks the end of an era… read the rest of “R.I.P Arena 1986-2009. ”
