GL Gives Guys In “Ugliest Cities” A Break

Stored in: Marketing Stuff, Press Coverage, Random Observations

A female-focused web site recently conducted a publicity-seeking survey to determine and publicize their list of the U.S. Cities With The Ugliest Guys. The publicity part certainly worked as TV stations nationwide, including our local D.C. Fox Affiliate, have run with this list and story. And while us Grooming Guys are certainly not above doing [...]

Why Is Everyone Ignoring Blagojevich’s Real Crime?

Stored in: Marketing Stuff, Press Coverage

The Real Tragedy Of The Sarah Palin Selection

Stored in: Press Coverage, Random Observations

Don’t get upset with us as this has nothing at all to do with politics or personal stuff.  Instead, it has everything to do with gender — the gender of McCain’s new Veep candidate.  We’re salty, bitter and annoyed that he selected a woman.  Why you ask?
This selfish selection totally ruins our opportunity to compare and [...]

We Think This Is A Nice Media Clip? We Just Need To Know What They’re Saying.

Stored in: Press Coverage

Who In The World Made This?

Stored in: Press Coverage

We were recently forwarded a link to a video/commercial on the Grooming Lounge and we have no idea what it is or where it came from.  Our guess is that it’s some high-school or college kids who had to create a video ad for a course they were taking?  Who knows?
That said, we’re flattered that [...]

Stored in: Press Coverage, Product Reviews

Thanks so much to the hirsutely-astute geniuses at New York Magazine who this week named our very own Beard Destroyer Shave Cream as the best shave cream on the market today.
