As the hirsute among us at The Manual know, there’s no shortage of beard oil out in the world right now. Normally that means being spoiled for choice, but in this case, it means a lot of sub-par products making their way onto bearded faces. Fear not though, because The Old Street Barber Co demands excellence from every one of their products, and stands behind them when something’s not quite right.

Based out of the UK, The Old Street Barber Co has a commitment to high-quality products, crafted with locally sourced ingredients. Despite the local influence, the brand ships internationally, so no matter where you live, you can take home some smart, British beard oil.

One of the brand’s year-round favorites is scented with lemon peel and peppermint. The combination of bright and musky is one that might seem a bit unfamiliar to us Yanks, but comes with a touch of dignification and wisdom. It’s also fitted with a wide base and pump top for easy dispensing.

One of the best parts of The Old Street Barber Co’s bear oil is the exclusive inclusion of natural ingredients. The scents are owed to natural infusions like mint and lemon, with almond oil and vitamin E to help nourish the skin and hair. It’s a blend with a light consistency and soft, rounded olfactory appeal.

You’ll want to spend a little more time with your facial hair too, and for that, The Old Street Barber Co has a special beard brush. Crafted from natural pear wood, the beard comb is fit styling hair with oils and balms. Not only does it feel sturdy and look attractive, it works great too, pulling tangles and knots from even the gnarliest of beards.

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.

Bald man shaving face over sink

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.

Most guys probably already know the brand Dr. Squatch. If you go to the men’s aisle you’ll see their deodorants, face washes, and most notably, their bar soaps, which are famous for having tie-ins with big franchises like Star Wars, Harry Potter, and the MCU. Surprisingly, one thing Dr. Squatch didn’t have until now is a shower gel. Their new body wash collection launched on September 13 and comes in four scents: Coconut Castaway, Fresh Falls, Pine Tar, and Wood Barrel Bourbon.

The Manual was able to try out one of their shower gels before its launch, and after showering with their wood barrel bourbon body wash for over a week now, here are my thoughts.
