For a proper trim or cut, Rudy’s Barbershop remains one of the premier grooming options along the West Coast — along with its New York City, Atlanta, and Nashville locations. While the popular parlor’s built its name on delivering slick fades, it’s now trying its hand at an exclusive line of hair and body products designed for both men and women. Better yet, the shampoo Rudy’s includes in the system is the same the shop uses to clean customers’ hair — unfortunately, the life-changing head massage which usually comes standard with a barbershop cut isn’t part of the package.

Dubbed the 1-2-3 Showering System, Rudy’s hair and body wash (according to the company) comes by way of countless haircuts and endless nights of trial and error. A finished product perfect for any hair or skin type, the 1-2-3 Showering System is a literal one-stop shop to getting clean each day. From its shampoo which retains moisture and adds body, to its companion conditioner that softens hair, reduces static, and proves wildly effective at de-tangling even the messiest of dos, the hair care aspect (something Rudy’s is an expert at) is stellar.

Backed by what Rudy’s calls its signature scent, each step features accents of cedar, citrus, and juniper. Though, what this really means is that at the end of a shower, users may step out of their bathroom smelling like a full-blown Rudy’s salon. As anyone who’s ever received a cut at Rudy’s could attest, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Rudy’s debut into the hair and body wash field is intriguing, no doubt, but it’s the brand’s partnership with the It Gets Better Project that’s particularly influential. For every purchase of its 1-2-3 Showering System, the company says it plans to donate the exact product to homeless shelters across the United States who serve LGBTQ youth. Furthermore, the brand also partners with the Human Rights Campaign and the LA LGBT Center.

An ability to make a positive impact and smell good? Few companies offer this kind of lasting impression but Rudy’s does so masterfully.

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.
