Old Spice Unleashes Beard Care Line with NFL Brothers Travis and Jason Kelce

After years of telling men to smell better through hilarious television commercials, Old Spice has finally entered the facial hair grooming world. The only problem with the new Old Spice Beard Collection? That it took the brand so damned long to create it.

Teaming up with two beard-sporting, Ohio-born, NFL-playing brothers, Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, Old Spice released the

just in time for guys “looking to grow out their beards for Octobeard (and Novembeard and Decembeard),” said the brand with its quintessentially zany style.

The Kelce brothers aren’t just the faces of the products — they’ve also put their beard philosophy to work by helping Old Spice author a book of poetry focused specifically on beards, entitled The Old Spice Guys’ Grooming Guidance Guide for Guis with Beards & Other Poems. The tome is, as you can imagine, as funny, witty, campy, and slapdash as you’d expect from a company that soared to pop-culture phenomenon after launching the “Smell like a Man, Man” campaign. (Remember that single cut of a man transitioning from a bathroom to a sailboat to riding a horse on a beach?)

Along with the beard poetry, there are also very real and very useful beard grooming products on offer. The full lineup includes a beard wash, beard conditioner, beard balm, and beard oil. Don’t want to purchase them all separately? Save time and money by

How and why men should add vitamin C to their skincare routine
Vitamin C is essential for men's skincare
Vitamin C, orange, blackboard

For most people -- myself included -- vitamin C is a dietary concern, and like them, I make an effort to incorporate it in my daily meals and snacks. They know it’s common in citrus fruits and many other beneficial foods, but they have no idea that it can be a significant factor in enhancing skincare.
The men who do get it know they’re on to something. For men, vitamin C for skin is just as essential, and getting products that incorporate it is a key part of their daily skincare regimen. Like me, they know what those compounds and products are, and they understand what skincare with vitamin C provides and how it works. But it’s not hard to get those same results with a little research and some extra work, so I'm here to help you get those same advantages.

Whether you’re celebrating with a date or friends or indulging in self-love, Valentine’s Day is all about indulging in the pleasantries of life. Perfectly curated plans, a fresh haircut, and a stylish outfit aren’t complete without the right fragrance to tie it all together. But wait–you don’t want to reach for your everyday staples when spraying on a cologne for a special occasion. 

Instead, try enjoying a few sprays of something you don’t wear often, or treat yourself to a new fragrance altogether. Whichever option you choose, it’s key to pick a fragrance that fits the mood of your V-day festivities so your scent doesn’t clash with how you’ll be enjoying the holiday. We’ve all encountered that one guy in life who smells like an extremely strong, lavish cologne…on a random Tuesday. Preventing a scent that’s overpowering and misplaced allows you to set the mood for yourself and those around you a whole lot better. Let’s take a look at some options.

What does aftershave do? Why it should be a key part of your skincare routine
Find out what skincare benefits aftershave offers
Man spraying on cologne

For many men, myself included, aftershave products can easily become an afterthought, and some men even see it as unnecessary. What does aftershave do, anyway? Having a busy schedule can make it tough to add much of anything to this basically simple ritual, and there are plenty of men who are unwilling to wade into the ocean of products with claims of benefits that range from the exaggerated to the outrageous.
But this is a serious mistake. If you fall into this category, you’re missing out on many of the basic benefits a quality aftershave provides — not to mention the fact that a great aftershave scent can make you a lot more attractive. You do need to know some things about aftershave products in advance, so let’s review in a way that will allow you to match the product to your personal shaving needs.
