Having a behemoth beard is cool until you realise just how much debris it collects: According to a 2019 report, beards amass more germs than dog fur, which is astonishing when you consider their penchant for rolling around in all kinds of gunk. This bacteria comes from...
Sweating, while irritating, is a good thing. It allows our bodies to expel heat from all the energy we’re burning. Whether we’re slowly walking up a hill or frantically doing spin in a sweltering studio, if we didn’t sweat we’d overheat and shut down. It’s a necessary...
Manscaping is an activity that comes with a few risks. While accidentally slicing off your berry basket is unlikely, looking bizarre after only shaving certain parts of your body can easily happen. Is the hairier man doomed to trimming his entire body every time he manscapes? Going...
In the annals of personal branding, one of the shrewdest moves ever recorded has to be NBA star Anthony Davis coming up with the slogan “Fear the Brow.” In trademarking it (you may recall he literally did this in 2012), Davis not only monopolised the monobrow as His...
Despite what my drunken, albeit convincing, college roommate Jimmy grumbled while shaving off a single eyebrow at exactly 2:36 on a Tuesday morning back in 2015, science shows that brows are our most important facial feature. They help us convey emotions, and according to studies, we recognise...
Ahem, cue sad music: Every hour, a taint is abandoned and forgotten. They suffer alone, hidden away in the dark, dripping with incessant moisture. They wait… and wait for someone (anyone) to care for them. But today, we’re rescuing that often overlooked patch of skin cramped between...

Face moisturiser has been a more recent addition to most men’s grooming routines, but its popularity is soaring, so we reached out to dermatologist Anthony Rossi and aesthetician Gregory Dylan for some advice: Here’s what they had to say about why, when and how to moisturise after shaving....
We mostly all agree that hot tubs, massages and the like feel good, but ask anyone why and you’ll get a shrug (which is fair! That person was trying to relax, after all). Understanding what these self-care activities are doing to your body — and more importantly,...
First, something to consider: White teeth aren’t necessarily healthy teeth. Us British, for example, who are apparently well-known for our “popcorn mouths”, generally have healthier teeth than Americans, who are obsessed with blinding white smiles. Still, there’s normally no harm in whitening your teeth for vanity’s sake,...
We’ve conducted a lot of surveys with our DSC members over the years, asking you guys pretty much anything and everything. But the above results, showing what men use to “stay fresh downstairs,” made us want to investigate further—particularly on behalf of the five percent who are...
