Is It Safe To Visit My Barber?

Even though hairdressers and barbers deemed an essential service during Covid-19 many closed. This has driven both many home haircuts and an open question on whether it's safe to go to the barber. The answer to which is Yes.

Hair Maintenance & Covid 19 …

Guys visit their barbers every three to six weeks, but with Covid 19 these aren’t in average times! Which makes hair maintenance (buzz cut aside) a little more challenging. Here's our simple home hair maintenance tips to get you through.

Understanding Pomade – Part 1

Common perception is that longer hair requires different products to those used on short hair. We wanted to challenge this. Why does styling longer hair really need something different to shorter hair? The short answer - it doesn’t.

Have you met Mr Hawke yet?

Mr Hawke Flex Pomade is one helluva product. Its perhaps a little cliché, but this product really is breaking new ground and is being heralded as a gamechanger in the hair industry - broadly speaking, most hair styling products aren't that great for your hair. They often leave a chemical residue or film on the follicle that needs more chemicals (shampoo) to remove it. This in time can weaken the follicle, leaving it susceptible to breakage

Awesome Things – Porsche

It’s the 70 year commitment to an idea, that to us at least, makes Porsche Awesome. That commitment to refinement, to patience and to nostalgia is a true point of difference amongst the Car Industry. It's no mean feat to bet the future of a company on this as your source of innovation and growth.

Fact checking – Signs of Hair Loss

You’ve noticed your hairline for the first time in a photograph, or a mate has made a clever comment about the cold or reflective surfaces

Awesome Things – Jeans

Levi’s 501s the “Fashion Item of the 20th Century.” Time magazine. From humble workwear to a 100 Billion dollar industry jeans have withstood the wear and tear of time to be considered a true fashion icon.

Awesome Things – Vincent Black Shadow

"The World's Fastest Standard Motorcycle. This is a Fact Not a Slogan.": Vincent ad in 1952. What a line. Sixty years ago, the Vincent Black Shadow represented the pinnacle of street-legal performance. Officially timed at 122mph (195km/h), it could outpace Jaguar’s XK120 sportscar – then the world’s fastest production car – making it the first true Superbike, and the benchmark of motorbike excellence.

Classic Style: Short Back & Sides

Growing up in Western Sydney, my barber had a little of the Henry Ford’s about him – you could ask for any style you wanted as long as it was a short back and sides. I resented it. What I failed to realize was the reason the short back and sides, or the SB’N’S as one of the crew calls it, has been one of the most popular men’s hairstyles forever: versatility.

Awesome Things – Air Jordan III’s

A little over 30 years ago, on February 7th 1988, Michael Jordan dropped 40 points in the NBA All-Star Game, earning his first All-Star MVP award in one of the most iconic and sought after Air Jordan shoes of all-time – The Air Jordan III’s. It could have so easily been different with Jordan disliking the AJ2’s (not surprising since he’d broken his foot in them) and being courted by multiple other brands, but for the collaboration between an unconventional designer and athlete with an unrivaled talent.

Hairline beating a strategic retreat?

It happens! One day you're running your fingers through your luscious locks the next your yanking out one too many clumps of hair from your bathroom drain. Whatever the cause at some point most of us have to deal with our follicles thinning out (or slowly creeping into obscurity). It's a fact of life but rather than reach for that bottle of Rogaine or fork over your hard earned cash like Warnie remember that there are other options..

Awesome Things – Ray-Ban Wayfarer’s

Aviators give them a close run, and indeed they deserve their own Awesome article at some point, but hands down our most awesome and therefore favourite pair of sunnies are the classic Ray-Ban Wayfarer (personally in tortoise shell, but black also rocks). As trends have faded in and out, the Wayfarer has maintained a constant presence. It’s been emulated by pretty much every sunglass brand but for those who appreciate style, design and functionality there’s no going past the Original.

What to wear to a Holiday Party

‘Tis the season to be jolly. And stylishly so. While Christmas (and holidays) couldn’t come soon enough, chances are you still have a few holiday soirees to attend before knock off. And that means a handful of suitable party outfit pieces to swap in and out in the coming weeks.

Embracing The Grey

It's enough to strike fear in the hearts of men everywhere. One morning you're getting ready for work and in the mirror you spot a grey hair or two protruding from your once youthful looking scalp. A flurry of negative thoughts race through your mind: "my best years are behind me", "I'm not as young as I used to be" etc. But with numerous studies showing more women finding men with grey hair appealing, the look of experience and sophistication it offers and terms like 'silver fox' being bandied around why not not embrace your greying hair rather that fear it.

How to style a quiff (and make it last)

Elvis started it. James Dean owned it. And now, the quiff is being coiffed by both today’s leading men and style Messieurs alike (think Clooney and Becks). With so many original cool-guys rocking the ‘do in recent decades, it’s no surprise that the more style-savvy gents (yep, that’s you) want to take on the quiff and make it their very own.

Tom Hardy on Style

"I ain't shaving my beard for you. To shave my beard off would be to cut my fucking nuts off. You know what I mean". So OK Tom can be extreme. And personally we've never felt as strongly about our collective beards. But we love the underlying point...
