The Braun Series 3 ProSkin Will Change Your Mind About Electric Razors

Now that multi-tasking has become a key part of a man’s ability to tackle the challenges of everyday routines, men are constantly looking for new and innovative tools to help them achieve success in every part of life. And shaving is no exception. If you’re like a lot of men, shaving is nothing more than a chore required by your employer, so the easier and faster it can be, the better. That’s where Braun steps in.

With almost 100 years working at this exact issue, Braun gets it–and they’re always trying to make it a little bit better for you. By capturing more hair in the first stroke, the Braun Series 3 ProSkin makes your grooming routine so easy, that you can focus on other aspects of your day instead of shaving. Built to tackle a long weekend’s worth of stubble, the Series 3 ProSkin is a tool rigorously tested to ensure it will handle the job you lay out in front of it.

To really bring this badass, beard blaster to your attention, Braun brought on one of the most recognizable faces in football (or what we Americans call soccer) Real Madrid Defender, Raphaël Varane. What better place to tell us about their Frenchmen-in-Madrid ambassador, than in the beautiful, heavily French-influenced city of Madrid. Braun hosted us in the Spanish capital and talked to us about their latest and greatest – the Series 3 ProSkin (one of the best priced shavers for what you get, in our opinion) and the new multi-grooming kits (every man needs a kit like this in their bathroom). We had the chance to sit down and chat with Varane about why him, why Braun, and what’s next. (Read our interview here.)

The Series 3 ProSkin uses an advanced MicroComb technology that guides hairs into the trimmer, reducing overall shaving time. This leads to less skin irritation by cutting short and long hairs simultaneously. Add to that a sophisticated shaving system of three independently rotating cutting elements and two SensoFoils that are able to adapt to every facial contour, and you get a comfortable shave faster than any of Braun’s competitors. And if speed is what you’re after, use this wet or dry – whatever is best for you – to keep you moving throughout your day with ease.

If electric shavers aren’t your jam, we bet you’re still taking a trimmer to some hair somewhere, and if that’s the case, Braun has you covered there too. The ultimate all-in-one face, hair, and body Grooming Kit from Braun uses the latest cutting element technology to ensure that the blades last for the lifetime of the trimmer. Whether it’s precision trimming your bits down below or contour edging that well-groomed beard, you have 13 precise length settings to keep it all under control. With four detachable combs and a running time of up to an hour, the four multi-grooming kits from Braun ensure maximum precision and ultimate versatility to enable you to focus on what really matters – which is likely something less trivial than your body hair.

We get it – if you are a guy used to your routine of creaming-up and cutting off with an old-fashioned blade, it can be difficult to opt for something different. We were there too once, since there is something to be said for that time in the morning all to yourself, spending an extra few minutes on pampering. However, if you are the type of guy who only shaves because you have to, then we urge you to try something different– dare we say more efficient. We bet, after giving yourself a couple shaves, you’ll find it’s actually not all that bad. In fact, it could be the new routine you look forward to in the morning.

GUESS releases iconic new men’s cologne
GUESS ICONIC's new men's cologne is all about brand imaging
GUESS ICONIC

In the world of men’s fragrances, some brands niche down to appeal to a specific “type” and demographic, while others try to be all things to all people. The latter is especially true when they include the word “ICONIC” in their brand name, which is the case for this release from GUESS.
It's called GUESS ICONIC for Men, but GUESS isn't a company that's gender-specific when it comes to its scents. Its counterpart, GUESS Woman, was launched last April, and GUESS also designs, markets, distributes, and licenses a large collection of lifestyle products, including apparel, handbags, watches, footwear, and other consumer goods.

Mushrooms for men’s skincare? Verdoie adds new shroom-based supplement
These two products harness the healing power of mushrooms
Verdoie skincare product

Mushrooms are everywhere. They surround us in the woods when we go for a walk after a heavy spring rain. They’re omnipresent in recipes, both around the world and across the internet. They’ve even turned up in our coffee lately, so it was probably just a matter of time before they appeared in skincare products.
The company to thank for this latest development is a French firm called Verdoie, which just added a supplement called Le Complement Alimentaire to its existing line of mushroom-based moisturizers.

Is too much shower time bad for your skin? What a new study says
This study was conducted on eczema patients, and its good news for them

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last couple of years, you’ve probably read or heard a few things about the importance of our skin biome. It’s being compared in importance to our gut bacteria, which many researchers and scientists believe determines the strength of our immune system.
However, the rise of the skin biome has come with several unintended consequences. One is the idea that bathing too frequently or spending too much time in the shower weakens or damages the skin biome, but a recent study suggests that this might not be true at all.

This in-depth study was conducted on eczema patients
 
The fact that this study was conducted exclusively using eczema patients might seem like a good way to produce idiosyncratic results, but if you look at the details of the study, the struggles these people experience suggests a weaker skin biome that makes them ideal for this kind of test.
The Eczema Bathing Study was designed by people with eczema, together with researchers and healthcare professionals. Subjects were divided into two groups: Those who bathed or showered at least six times a week were classified as “daily bathing,” while those who showered or bathed once or twice a week were designated “weekly bathing.”
These people followed the same routine for four weeks, and they made no changes in their eczema routine, i.e., they used the same moisturizers and other skincare products to counter their condition. The amount of bathing is a vital variable for those struggling with eczema, and there were 438 people in the study, including both adults and children.
