Both outdoorsy campers and urban jungle dwellers will dig these all-natural soaps from the Dr. Squatch Soap Co. Inspired by nature and idea of running free in the woods like the elusive Sasquatch, AJ Fountain and Jack Haldrup started this environmentally friendly subscription soap company that delivers the lather right to your front door.

“It’s time we started caring about the ingredients in things we use, inside and outside our bodies.” You won’t find any nasty chemicals or artificial fragrances added to these suds. These soaps are made by using the “cold process” to bring out the best and enhance the natural ingredients. First, lye, water, natural oils, and butters are mixed together. During the process the lye mixes with the oil. Over time this mixture hardens causing the oils to saponify. All of the bars start with the same base oil of olive, coconut, hemp, soy and Shea butter. Next, natural ingredients are added to make each soap special.

Like a gritty exfoliating soap with a strong woodsy scent? Try Pine Tar. Or lather up with Gold Moss Scrub, one of their best sellers. Freshly ground cocoa and added sea salt round out this earthy musk. Cedar Citrus is the newest addition with notes of cedarwood, rosemary and orange and finished with mild peppermint leaves. Fresh and zesty. Make every day a vacation with Bay Rum. A smooth and creamy bar with a tropical twist. Or try a winter holiday with the Spearmint Basil Scrub bar. Eucalyptus Greek Yogurt soap will get you going in the morning with fresh eucalyptus essential oils and exfoliating oatmeal. Soothing aloe and sophisticated clover make up the Cool Fresh Aloe bar. And Deep Sea Goat’s Milk is an extra-moisturizing exfoliator.

Now with over 2500 “soapscribers” these guys are keeping it all natural and expanding the line by bringing back the wet shave. This shaving kit comes with a copper mug, Clay Mint Bar Shaving Soap and synthetic shaving brush. No badgers were harmed in the making of this kit.

Sports and entertainment tend to have a massive influence on our society's grasp of style. Some of the best trends can be attributed to our favorite actors, musicians, and athletic heroes sporting the looks we love. Miles Teller and Henry Cavil can be directly thanked for their contributions to the return of the mustache. Marlon Brando and James Dean found ways to take functional garments like the leather jacket and the everlasting denim jeans to rebellious casual. And, of course, nobody can take more credit for the aviator sunglasses trend than Tom Cruise.

Our hairstyles are also often copied from the uber-famous, and NFL superstar Travis Kelce is doing his part to contribute, as he sports a very specific look. Here's how to achieve and rock the Travis Kelce haircut.

Celebrities tend to play a huge part in pushing style trends on a yearly basis. In the early 2000s, the rise of the pop star launched the low-rise jeans. The hip-hop culture drove the explosion of sneakers and baggy clothing. And James Bond continues to influence the elevated looks worn by men everywhere.

When it comes to hair, Bruce Willis and Jason Statham made the bald look sexy, while the likes of Jason Mamoa and Chris Hemsworth brought the long hair vibe to the forefront. But there is a new hair trend returning to prominence, and it will bring back the nostalgic vision of the 90s: The surfer curtains.

Whether you are the kind of guy who likes to rock the clean shaven look while you conquer Wall Street in a suit, or you are the kind of guy that likes to sport the long and thick mane of a beard while you work outdoors, you have to shave your face. Shaving all over or simply shaping your beard means you are involved in the age-old question of electric shaver vs razor. Of course, which you choose has a lot to do with your lifestyle.

Just like trying to decide what the best shoes are for you, or electing to dive into what the best suits are for you, it all comes down to the kind of lifestyle you lead. If you are an outdoorsman, you have very specific needs for your shave routine. It needs to be fast and portable. If you are a man with a love of luxury, then you may love to take your time with a solid routine. That may even be the kind of self-care you need to center yourself in the morning.
