My Lovely New Razor

Well I have finally done it. I have now got a Rising Star razor by e-shave to go with my Luxury Shaving Kit also made by e-shave.

I have had my eye on this baby for a while, and I must say it is a beauty and has given me the best shave I have ever had. This has more to do with the triple blade head that it comes with than anything else, but the feel and weight and sheer good looks of this nickel plated razor just make me feel special using it.

E-Shave hand finish this razor in brushed nickel, not only for aesthetics but also because this material will not rust, which is pretty essential for razor that is constantly getting wet and left all day. We only have three left in stock so I am glad I got one now.

Eco and Recycled Gifts for Him

We have had a few calls from customers wanting Eco and Recycled Gifts for Men, Teens and Boys, so we have created a page so you can view them all in one place called (surprisingly)  Eco and Recycled Gifts for Him.

Let us know if you have seen any new and interesting earth friendly products that would fit into this category, or the type of products you would like to see more of.

Would Your Man Wear A Bra?

Would your guy like a bra as a gift this holiday season? I don't mean a bra as a tantalizing metaphor for play time, I mean for him to wear.

Generally, men are more interested in the contents than the bra itself, or so I thought, but bras for men have taken Japan by storm, and many retailers have not been able to keep up with demand.

Now the bra wearing guys we are talking about here are not necessarily in need of support. These bras are more of the adolescent training variety. I guess they get some thrill wearing it.

Let us know if your guy would wear a bra and if we should consider stocking this at Boys To Men Gifts.

See the video report here.

Smart Gift Shopping On A Budget

Times are getting tough globally as we hear about every day in the news. But will these tough economic times affect our holiday season and gift giving ? Let us know your thoughts on the subject. I thought about this myself and my spin on it is that people have to have some fun in life or what's the point of working hard all year. That said, many of us will tighten our belts a bit on the budget.

I then looked at our own product line as a customer and as an experiment used the Gift Finder on our home page to check out how many products we have under $20.00, and was surprised to find the answer was 85. This is a good sign as I know that we have gifts that are within everyone's budget. Another way to save is to combine your order with that of a friend or a group of friends and take advantage of our free shipping on orders over $100.00.
With the fall in the Canadian Dollar against the Greenback, our customers south of the border are getting an even better deal.

Now that is what I call smart shopping on a budget.

West Coast Womens Show

We had a great show last weekend, and spoke to over 1000 people. It was great to meet you all and although it was very tiring being on your feet up to eleven hours a day, it was fun.

We met many of our existing customers and also lots of people who had never heard of Boys To Men Gifts, but liked the concept, and hopefully will check out our new website in the run up to Christmas.

Our best sellers at the show were the Camo Marshmallow Shooter, The Ravi Wine Cooler, Smoking Mittens and the Solio Solar Charger.

Products I Use Myself

I often get asked as one of the founders of Boys To Men Gifts, if I actually use any of the products myself. The simple answer is yes. We choose all the products on our site for originality and good design, and because we sell gifts for men, a lot of these cool things find their way into my home before long, in the name of product testing of course.

Over the next few weeks I will mention a few items that I use regularly, starting with …

Luxury Shaving Kit. I was always a Gillette spray can shaving foam kind of guy, until I decided to try this product. It really did change my habits, as once I had a shave using this quality shaving cream and a badger hair brush, I knew I would never go back.

The kit comes with almond shaving oil which helps the razor glide over your skin and stop those shaving bumps. The cream itself does not leave your skin feeling dry, but hydrated, and smooth, and the cucumber after shave cream is soothing and fresh.

All is left is the razor, and I have my eye on the Rising Star Razor as my next little treat, I mean, product performance evaluation, for Boys To Men Gifts.
