Grooming

From our Life & Style Editor, Theresa Johnston

The price of replacement cartridges for your disposable razor can be, well, baffling. Razor cartridges are really small, made of seemingly cheap plastic, and never, ever last as long as you need them to. Yet they can be as much as $30 for a set of five. The cost is nowhere near the end of the world and a good shave is worth it, but I’m sure you could find a more exciting use for your hard-earned cash (e.g., a tweed jacket, a Sockscription, or a great bottle of bubbly).

So if you’d like to spend a bit less on a good, clean shave, let me introduce you to Dorco Pace razors. The Dorco company has been making inexpensive, high-quality razors since the 1950s. These razors are the same quality and have the same features as leading brands but they cost, on average, 30% less.

The Dorco Pace SXA1000: 6 Blade System includes one handle, two cartridges and only costs $4.50. Each razor cartridge boasts six blades and a lubricating strip loaded with vitamin E and aloe. A set of four replacement cartridges is only $3.99.

The SXA1000: 6 Blade System and many other razors are available at the Dorco Online Store.

Morgan Spurlock’s Man-Tastic New Movie: Mansome

From Our Life & Style Editor, Theresa Johnston

Hey guys, in case you haven’t noticed already, your personal style and grooming habits are a hot commodity. In his new documentary, Mansome, Morgan Spurlock explores the commoditization of modern male grooming and the lengths to which some men will go to achieve man-tastic perfection.

While Mansome is receiving mixed reviews, it’s absolutely raising some thought-provoking questions about what it means to be “manly” in this day and age.

What’s your regular grooming routine? A simple shower-and-shave or something more elaborate? Where do you stand on manscaping? How do your grooming rituals affect your self-esteem?
