Beard burn: It’s the bane of those with bearded significant others. As every guy knows, even a few days of growth can leave your partner’s face feeling like a freshly-grated wedge of parmesan cheese. But a bit of stubble—or even a full-on beard—shouldn’t get in the way...
Anyone who’s ever gotten dressed for work in a muggy gym changing room following an early morning workout knows that the experience is nightmarish. Pulling on a shirt over clammy skin is the worst, and that sweat that keeps trickling down your back comes direct from the...
Every bathroom is filled with creams, pastes and gels that we use to keep ourselves looking, feeling and smelling fresh. But despite how often we put the those products on (and in!) our bodies, most of us have no idea how they work. To find out exactly...
Is today’s man spending that much more time in the bathroom than his forebears? Writer Chris Bourn went in search of his family grooming history to find out. In the past few years there’s been growing evidence—or at least, an increasing number of headline-baiting surveys—suggesting that men...
We’re guessing you don’t take too many baths, but that’s cool—a lot of British men apparently don’t. Maybe it’s the thought of wading in one’s own lukewarm filth for half an hour that’s a turnoff. Or for the earth-minded, filling up the average tub with 50 gallons...

Every now and again, you’ll encounter someone—a colleague, a friend of a friend, a stranger on the bus—who seems somehow oblivious to the fact that holy cow, they stink. It may be overpowering B.O., wafts of cheesy feet stench or just plain old death-breath, but most of...
