The Grooming Lounge Blog

Back in 2001 when our online destination was in its infancy, Grooming Lounge’s primary business came from providing men with solutions to their “Embarrassing Issues.” As we saw it, there were a handful of grooming items that men wanted and needed, but would go without if acquisition required interacting with another human being. The list [...]

The crew here at Grooming Lounge certainly views things through tinted glasses. Those spectacles tend to focus our thinking strongly toward grooming and service-related genres – so we hope you’ll understand if the following observation seems off base. 
BATTLING SWEATY DRAWERS AND FENDING OFF NETHER-REGION CHAFING ARE AMONG THE AMERICAN MAN’S TOP CONCERNS.
Bogus you say?  Impossible that the modern gent ranks “jewel-focused” [...]

RE: Your Unibrow & Setting A Poor Example For 40 Years
Dear Bert:
This has gone on long enough. For awhile we brushed it off as being quirky and cute, letting it slide because of your status as an iconic character on a classic children’s series. We bit our collective tongues as [...]

It’s much easier to complain about a problem than to fix it.  Every body knows this.  And while we almost never take the simple way out, here are some real problems men put on their bodies every day.  We don’t really know how to fix to these problems… other than to tell guys “you should [...]

It’s tough and expensive to be a well-groomed man — but even tougherer more expensiver to be a neurotic clean freak. We bring this up in lieu of a recent situation that tested one of the Grooming Guy’s cost vs. cleanliness equilibrium.  Let us know what you, as an undoubtedly clean and polished gentlemen, would have done [...]

This blog is going to make us look a bit bad,  a tad disorganized and maybe even slightly disconnected from what we do for a living.  Long story short — one of the Grooming Guys shaved with a variety of women’s razors all last week.  Sure we get more than our fair share of freebie razors sent [...]

As you might have guessed, the Grooming Guys are a bit obsessed with cleanliness, appearance and sanitation. Hence, it’s been more than a few times that we’ve sat in our D.C. offices to review proper public bathroom protocol, complain about bathroom etiquette infringers and detail how a true gentlemen can exit such a locale gracefully without actually [...]

The Grooming Guys aren’t young bucks, but certainly wouldn’t be categorized as “older” gents either.  Mid 30’s-ish is where we reside, as do probably a good number of our co-workers and personal friends.  Reason we bring up this age demographic is because there are many men in this age segment who think they are too [...]

Fresh off the heels of his .01 second win in the 100m medley, Olympic Swimmer Michael Phelps credited Grooming Lounge with providing the aerodynamic edge he needed to barely beat out Serbian Milorad Cavic.
“It was a victory by the smallest of margins. When it’s that close, you have to credit something and all I can attribute my extra [...]

Let’s face it.  Most men over the age of 30 have more body hair then they would probably like.  Whether it rests on their chest, back, under their arms, on their arms or in that oh-so private area, it’s a tricky situation to tackle.  Guys just have no idea how to address it in a [...]
