<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">I have fairly sensitive skin, especially on my neck, which after shaving is prone to rashiness and soreness, plus the odd ingrown hair. I’m therefore always on the lookout for products that are soothing and generously kind to my skin.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Step in <a href="http://www.clinique.co.uk/product/1624/6251/Mens/Shave/All-Mens-Shave/Post-Shave-Healer/index.tmpl" target="_blank">Clinique’s Post-Shave Healer</a>, which, although it has an almost watery lotion consistency, fits the bill quite nicely. The aloe vera is soothing and the tiniest bit tingly, and helps prevent rashes resulting from razor burn.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">The product is oil free, so it’s great for all skin types. It also makes a great pair with the aloe shave gel, which I’ve raved about previously.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Unlike <a href="http://manface.co.uk/clinique-post-shave-healer-original/" target="_blank">Thom over at the incredible ManFace Blog</a>, I think you need a fairly generous (probably about 50p sized) amount on the palm before you have enough to cover the entire shaved area. This is partly because the lotion is very absorbant and designed as a base to add moisturiser or sun block over the top. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Just smooth over your neck and chin and you're done.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />But this is not what you think, silly, that ended a couple of days ago (and we're now free of hairy top lips for another year). However, in place of Movember we have Decembeard, which is the charity Beating Bowel Cancer's fund raising event to support their people in raising awareness about bowel cancer and to help those suffering.</span></div>

It even has an adjustable trimmer, so you can keep that (Decem)beard trim when you're standing under the mistletoe at the office Christmas party.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plus, if you buy one, 10% of the sale will go to Beating Bowel Cancer, so you can start your good deed before you even need to trim your beard! In fact, the whole King of Shaves eGrooming range has the same offer, so pick up an ear and nose trimmer or Bodystyler while you're on the website.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My review of <a href="http://modernstuart.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/product-review-ren-skincare-glycolactic.html" target="_blank">REN’s glycolactic radiance renewal mask</a> was full of positivity. And I can tell you straight off the bat that this isn’t going to be much different.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.renskincare.com/p/3091" target="_blank">REN’s invisible pores mask</a>, as the title makes obvious, is designed to reduce pore size and leave the skin purified, smooth and toned. Like other REN masks, I have found that this lives up the blurb and the premium natural content makes this worth the very reasonable price tag of £18.00.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You just smooth just a relatively generous amount over the desired area (likely spots include your t-zone and/or on the cheekbone) after cleansing and leave on for a few minutes. You can then wash the mask off with warm water. Use a pad to remove if you wish but I certainly haven’t found this necessary.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The result is immediately satisfying. The biggest impact is definitely on the smoothness of the skin. My skin feels baby-ish smooth for a (relatively) short time after using the mask. Pores are visibly reduced, and my skin is left feeling toned but not tight. I would still normally follow up with an active serum (perhaps something from Aesop) to keep hydrated, though just see how you go.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As this is a clay-based formula (with fatty acids (from red tea) to get that smoothness) is a good choice for skin that produces excess sebum and is prone to oily shininess. If you have dry skin I’d steer clear and stick to more gentle cleansing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use as and when required, but probably not more than once or twice a week – you don’t want to leave the skin devoid of any natural oils (which are frustratingly required).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enjoy!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beautiful and political. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This two-storey Louis Vuitton suitcase was planted in Moscow's Red Square a few weeks ago, just a few minutes away from Lenin's Mausoleum. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It looks magnificent to me, but the trunk is causing a bit of a political furore in Russia, where the Communist Party have criticised placing such a capitalist symbol so close to "sacred ground" for Communism. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">People from the United Russia Party have even called into question whether the trunk violates national advertising law in an attempt to try to get it removed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The super-trunk, based on a design for a trunk owned by Russian Prince Wladimir Orloff, will house an exhibition of Vuitton luggage starting 2 December. What do you think!?</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ben Farren has an agenda. His online retailing business, specialising in the chino, is dedicated to creating good quality product and making it available to men everywhere. </span></div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why? "I'd wanted to do something in menswear for a while. It seems to me that the major fashion labels are so preoccupied with staying on trend and churning through 250 piece collections that they are dropping the ball on the things that matter". </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the things that really matter to Ben: fit and price. SPOKE, Ben's brand, avoids seasonal trends by sticking to a staple item and making it worthy of your capsule wardrobe. At the moment, that item is the chino.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"We got started earlier this year. I can code (a bit), so I built a simple website while finding the talent I needed to design and make some trousers. With help, I made 50 pairs in a factory in Hoxton, sold through them quickly, and decided I was onto something".</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now onto much larger batches, SPOKEs come in a sizeable (forgive the pun) range of waist and leg variations, as well as different builds to fit men of every proportion. There's even a whole section of the website dedicated to "fit", where you can enter your dimensions and be pointed to the perfect pair of chinos for you.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"By tightly editing our range, and cutting out the retail rents and the middlemen, we can offer more sizes, and make clothes with real craftsmanship - and still beat many high street brands on price". Ben is obviously proud of his chinos, and rightly so: made of 100% Larusmiani cotton, with premium zips and buttons, there is some pretty serious work going on here.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The emphasis on quality and style over fashion also plays well with the SPOKE demographic, who Ben describes as "the 30-50-something professional who is aesthetically engaged - interested in design and cares about how he looks - but who approaches the style pages of GQ with a mixture of skepticism and bewilderment". </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And there's a bit of Ben in there too. "I guess there are ties to my own personal style...I tend to keep it pretty simple. I like sharp, modern tailoring with a twist. I think Paul Smith is a genius". And you can certainly see that Paul Smith influence coming through in some of the details such as the cotton pocket linings that are designed to complement each SPOKE shade (currently: taupe; olive; navy; maroon; grey; and black).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When discussing the future, Ben is clear that there is still plenty of room to develop and hone his craft. "We're firmly in the 'do one thing well' camp - so expect more trousers, in more fabrics: some stretch is in the pipeline, and something more technical. And we'll launch a more casual 5-pocket style in the Spring."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is this drive for perfection (which is mixed with Ben's natural self-deprecation) that makes SPOKE stand out. "Everything is a test...Our designer Adam brings years of experience...and has some great products in the pipeline - but ultimately we'll let our customers pick the winners". </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So get picking! SPOKEs are only available at </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://spokefit.com/">http://spokefit.com</a> and are priced at £79.00. </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spending time with Marina</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bolin</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> from men’s grooming design house Bolin Webb you quickly become aware of where the force and drive behind this brand comes from. Utterly professional, Marina has a passion and enthusiasm for her craft that is palpable. This is, perhaps, hardly surprising given the success of her ultra-contemporary razors, which are now on sale across Europe, North America and Asia in some of the most exclusive shopping destinations around (think Harrods, </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fortnum & Mason</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and the Conran</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shop</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in the UK and Nordstrom</span><b style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> a</b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">nd the Museum of Modern Art, Chicago</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> in the US, for example).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The concept for Bolin Webb’s original product, the R1 razor, came about on holiday in Switzerland, where Marina’s husband and business partner, Derrick, “looked at his old [Gillette] Mach 3 and realised there must be a better design for a razor”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But rather than try to enter the market for the full package, which the super-brands such as Gillette really have sewn up through huge economies of scale and worldwide distribution agreements, Marina and Derrick instead decided to focus on the aesthetics and design of the razor handle. “Bolin Webb took on the challenge to bring more design inspiration into the shaving experience”, explains Marina, “our razors show spirit – curve, balance, movement – which look and feel great”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjypHfYK3txzwZ-E0rCBKDfESiDkIL0opoVKDb7zf19g86P-fcmZpTUwH8lUPJ6KRF-cUryUpUXKXeYAIbm57E2Ml5pNgKS0vMpelfYhifhuOtNB53JZeUP9OVUv1NSAdTbkhFnpDf4P5w/s1600/R1+Bolin+Webb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjypHfYK3txzwZ-E0rCBKDfESiDkIL0opoVKDb7zf19g86P-fcmZpTUwH8lUPJ6KRF-cUryUpUXKXeYAIbm57E2Ml5pNgKS0vMpelfYhifhuOtNB53JZeUP9OVUv1NSAdTbkhFnpDf4P5w/s320/R1+Bolin+Webb.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Bolin Webb R1</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marina claims that she and Derrick are jointly the creative and business minds behind the brand. However, Marina admits that “we each have different strengths. I am the main contact for new business and customers, while Derrick works with product design and development, and the supply chain”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is clear that this works well for the duo. The R1 is sleek and holds beautifully in hand. Made in the UK from automotive paint and lacquered metal with a bacteria-resistant rubber base, this really is the Porsche 911 of the razor-world. And the design is key for Marina, “design is substance. Ergonomics, robust materials and quality finish all add to the enjoyment of seeing and using the product". </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the reaction to the R1, and its younger brother the X1 (designed to fit a Gillette Fusion Blade), has so far only been positive. Asking if Bolin Webb has had to adapt to different grooming habits across the world, Marina said that “every man has his own preference for grooming: blade, frequency of shave, style etc. We cannot say that one culture has one pattern. There is so much variety and this is what allows Bolin Webb to succeed in so many countries”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Continued growth and international exposure are certainly top of the Bolin Webb agenda going forward. Marina cites the launch of the X1 and its striking stand in 2013 as just a taste of things to come. “We are to launch a range of grooming care products in 2014, which will provide our customers with a complete shaving experience from Bolin Webb".</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’m certainly looking forward to testing those out in the near future!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Now rose is not traditionally associated with masculinity. You have a few brands trying to bring it back (Le Labo for one), but generally it’s a scent best left for the women in your life.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, <a href="http://www.liberty.co.uk/fcp/product/Liberty/Rose-Noir-Soap-100g/93671" target="_blank">Swedish perfumer Byredo does a purely hedonistic rose scent called Rose Noir</a>. The eau de toilette is magic, and the scent has now been captured in a bar of soap.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There’s a great, natural, nose to this product. Of course there’s a very traditional rose at its heart, but the moss and musk provide an earthy quality which is delightful. And on a Sunday evening in the bath this is fantastic to help you to unwind.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The scent left on the skin is quite mild but definitely present. For a man this is perhaps for the best. At £17.00 for 100g you're really paying at the top end of the scale. But there again you are paying for the Byredo genius, which is worth its weight.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all do it. We start out with the best intentions of getting everyone on that festive shopping list the best, most unique present ever. But falling back on the good old gift set is both inevitable and, often, a very sensible idea. However, while there’s a staggering array of options out there for women, for the men in your life there’s sometimes a bit of a void in the gift set space.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He’s your dad and therefore the ultimate man. So it only seems fair that the set you buy for him is called the same. And this Kiehl’s "Ultimate Man Refuelling Kit" is great. It has all the old favourite facial fuel products, plus a few samples, and comes in very manly blue and white packaging. Clearly not to get confused with the stuff in mum's cabinet!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was loathe to move away from the <a href="http://modernstuart.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/clarins-men-active-hand-care-1500-75ml.html" target="_blank">Clarins Men hand cream</a> but, when my tube was thoroughly squeezed and drained, I thought I'd try something new for the purposes of this fair blog. So I turned to my favourite Australians, Aesop, and their classic product: the <a href="http://www.aesop.com/uk/body-care/resurrection-aromatique-hand-balm-3.html" target="_blank">Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And oh my it is good. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the reason I love it so much: nails. My nails feel smoother, stronger and generally more healthy, and they felt this way within around one week of using this product. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The scent is also great. Mandarin, lavender, and rosemary all come through really strongly. I've had people coming into my office, following their nose, to ask why it smells so good around me all the time. The answer: it's Aesop. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Readily absorbant from quite a thick cream, I have been all-round thoroughly impressed by this product. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sister hand balm, </span><a href="http://www.aesop.com/au/reverence-aromatique-hand-balm-2.html" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">reverence</a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, is also delicious. The scent, bergamot and vetiver, perhaps even make this a more natural choice for winter. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And at £19.00 for 75ml, it's not badly priced either. If you have some spare cash, you could always go for the 500ml monster tub. It's £69.00...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll admit that I'm hardly breaking barriers here. Bryan Ferry's classic tailored and fantastically British style has endured throughout the decades since Roxy Music formed in 1971.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dance Away, More Than This and Ferry's version of Jealous Guy (following John Lennon's death in 1980) are just a few credits to a lasting and quite fantastic music career. But from the 70's to 2013, Ferry's style has caught the attention of fashion magazines and retailers alike.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don’t generally seek out anything that makes dressing more time consuming or inconvenient. There's just so much more to do in the morning. Like pressing snooze on your alarm, for example. You might therefore think that I would dislike Sharp and Dapper’s Shirt Stays more than a little bit. Foremost, to wear them you have to remember to put your clothes on in a particular order (shirt first, trousers second – which is quite counter-intuitive for me) and you have to fasten four elasticated strips to your shirt and to your socks too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinoIKO7FcjtzzZF1nFmPacYS40WwCmM3xxJxd1vYtCAiZe5BCyZbVe6ufQgySKBHXALs4WyDoGQLszA1x3pjMRhzq4rSuTLy0TIOK0mxDMOW-wf4sXrHHgW8Jl8KzLWhXeAg2u7JVwsy4/s1600/sharpanddapper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="141" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinoIKO7FcjtzzZF1nFmPacYS40WwCmM3xxJxd1vYtCAiZe5BCyZbVe6ufQgySKBHXALs4WyDoGQLszA1x3pjMRhzq4rSuTLy0TIOK0mxDMOW-wf4sXrHHgW8Jl8KzLWhXeAg2u7JVwsy4/s200/sharpanddapper.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I actually don’t dislike them at all. In fact, apart from the odd interesting moment in the bathroom (you know, where you are in there an uncomfortably long period of time post-toilet flush), the Shirt Stays have proved very welcome in my wardrobe.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wear a shirt every day for work and I often like a collar at the weekend too. As a result, like many, I encounter that perennial problem that begins about three to five minutes after dressing. The problem of my shirt becoming untucked or riding up incessantly over my very smart wool trousers or, an even more heinous crime, over skinny jeans. When there’s no jacket to hide it you at best look like someone who just doesn't care about their appearance. At worst you look like Piers Morgan on the way home from the gym.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shirt Stays, which the co-founder of Sharp and Dapper Johan Ekelund tells me date back to around the 1870s, attach to your shirt and socks and gently pull your shirt down to give you a clean, creaseless silhouette. They work, too. My only problem is that, like Johan, I now have the constant desire to either pull my trousers up or down to show everyone around me what this hidden accessory is doing. You’ll be pleased to hear that I’ve managed to control myself thus far.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the intricacies of the product itself, I was a little concerned that the rubber fastenings might damage my rather expensive fine cotton shirts. However, so far this has not been the case. They are entirely comfortable to wear, although, if you don’t already, maybe go to a yoga class to give you the extra twist in your torso you need to fasten the Stays to your shirt tails (or, alternatively, attach them before you put your shirt on (it took me one wear to realise this...).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One point I would make: ensure you wear trousers that fit when you wear your Shirt Stays. As your shirt is pulled down any extra room in your trouser waistband becomes readily apparent. If you’ve lost weight recently, it might be time to take those suit trousers to the tailor! To look "Sharp and Dapper" you need the entire look, not just the Shirt Stays.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But at £15.00 my instinct is to say go buy them; they’ll come in handy for you one day!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the last track on Swedish popster Veronica Maggio's new album, "</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Handen i fickan fast jag bryr mig" (Hand in my Pocket, Though I Care). Well, it is if you listen to it on Spotify!</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And it is beautiful. There's something haunting and enlightening about it all at the same time. A little bit like PJ Harvey's "We Float" from Stories Of the City, Stories From The Sea.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mörkt means dark. Take that and run with it: turn the lights down and pump up the volume on this little number.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay, so I'm way behind the curve on this given that it came out in September, but I just had to post this short film by Karl Lagerfeld for Fendi. It is ridic. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cara Delevingne stars as a scared but exceptionally well-dressed girl arriving at a spooky mansion for a party. Her tearful performance is something.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Winter has arrived. Heralded by my skin becoming desperately dry, my feet feeling constantly cold, and my bathtub being incessantly filled.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bath time is one of the most marvellous things about winter. Those glorious twenty minutes (or, in my case, forty-five) of soaking; where you feel warm, pampered and hidden away from the world. I do it often.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Making my time in the tub more glorious this winter is <a href="http://www.moltonbrown.co.uk/store/spicy-fragrance/re-charge-black-pepper-bodyscrub-bar/MR003/" target="_blank">Molton Brown's Re-Charge Black Pepper Bodyscrub Bar</a>. It really is one of my favourite ranges of scented products, and it's especially great in winter when the spiciness really comes into its own.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The peppercorns are wonderfully exfoliating, and the peppercorn oil very moisturising. And it smells, well, just great quite frankly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just use it all over your body, particularly where you get dry skin. So think elbows, knees, arse (well, you do sit on it all day...). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enjoy bath time!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But not only a lad. Also a true fashionspiration: from "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" to "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", Mr Newman brought effortless cool, style and masculinity. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So whether it's teaming up a sweater and sneakers like above, or rocking casual tailoring, a skinny knitted tie and (amazing) beard like below, there's never a need to look any further for sartorial inspiration.</span></div>
