The Grooming Guy becomes Poised.co.uk’s Online Grooming Editor

Over the next few months I will be writing a second blog for Poised.co.uk, a new online store dedicated to providing premium grooming, fitness and wellbeing supplies for men.

I will be offering tips and advice on what products can help you to look your best, protect you from the harsh weather, kick the signs of tiredness, beat the effects of ageing, defeat the hangovers and stay looking young.

You can read my first post here http://www.poised.co.uk/blog/news/our-new-grooming-guy/

Check out the Beever

Fresh for winter 2010 The Grooming Guy has found a great new hair styling range for us blokes, called Beever.

The products have been brought to market by some top hairdressing industry names, including the founder of top men’s hair salons City Gent and members of the British Hairdressing Team. Beever have 15 products available including styling waxes, clays, sprays and serums, as well as preparation products for protection and nutrition.

The Grooming Guy tested the NO.2 Moulding Clay, which is ideal for short messy styles. It gives great hold and leaves a natural finish to the hair. Highly recommend this product. RRP £11.25 for 100ml.

The Grooming Guy also tested the NO.4 Mattifying Paste, which gives a less matt texture effect and works well on slightly longer hair. Great for giving that ‘just got out of bed look’ or sleeker styles. RRP £11.25 for 100ml.

It is also worth grabbing Beever’s Daily Shampoo, which is good for removing any heavy build up of product, which can be a real issue for many guys. RRP £9.95 for 250ml.

Beever products are available online at www.beever.co.uk and will also be in over 400 salons across the UK. It is also nice to know that if you buy online they won’t charge for postage or for using a credit card. Nice.

Bathroom full of ladies stuff….

A couple of months ago I wrote about Radox’s new men’s range of shampoo and shower gels. Then today – I found this little gem. The Japanese inspired promotional video, which happens to be one of best/weirdest things I have seen for a while. Hooky hook, hooky hook….

Radox launches new men’s range

So for the last week I have spent a lot of time in the shower trying out Radox’s new men’s range of shower gels and body scrubs. There are four, very brightly, almost nuclear glowing, products available. All of which remind me of the very successful Original Source range – favoured by lots of men.

If you’re not someone who wakes-up easily for work, or you’re trying to shake a hangover, I would recommend the Mint and Tea Tree Shower Gel and Shampoo – the menthol will kick you back into shape!

Now the concept behind combing a shower gel and a shampoo is that men want a quick and efficient wash. The Radox Men’s range ticks this box. But if you really want to look after your hair, I would recommend using a more expensive seperate shampoo and conditioner.

So I would say this is one for the gym bag. Minimal fuss and out the door in minutes.

There are two shower scrubs and two shower gel and shampoos available in 250ml bottles:

• Radox Men Deep Clean Watermint and Sea Minerals
• Radox Men Deep Clean Shower Scrub Lime and Ginger
• Radox Men Invigorating Shower gel and Shamppoo Mint and Tea Tree
• Radox Men Invigorating Shower gel and Shampoo Lemon and Tea Tree

The Radox Men’s range is available to purchase nationwide in supermarkets and chemists for a recession proof £1.99 (RRP).

Apparently men are useless

Ever had to borrow your girlfriend’s leg razor to have a shave when all your blades are blunt? Sick of roaming the supermarket shelves for shampoo and shower gel? Are you smelling like a hobo because you’re out of deodorant again this month?

Then check out this new grooming subscription service that delivers a whole load of essential grooming products to you every month.

The packs start from £9.99 per month (including delivery) and contain everything from razors, shampoos and shower gels from brands like King of Shaves, Original Source, Moose Head and Bionsen.

This all gets delivered right through your letterbox in a slimline package – so no more attempted delivery notes, or early weekend wake-up calls from the postman.
