Menswear Monday: Shave and a Haircut

Well it may no longer cost 2 bits for these items, but sometimes there's nothing better than a good haircut and a nice close shave. For me personally -- a trend that I am happy to see sticking around is the old school style shaving. No more five razor combos and aerosol gel spray. It's all about going back to basics. Props to Aili's bro for introducing me to some of my favorite shaving items.

This safety razor is nice and heavy; and the it twists to open the head for a blade change. A years worth of blades can be found super cheap online and will make you wonder why you ever spent $15 for a set of name brand heads that will only last you two weeks. 

The positive for this stick soap means it's great for anyone on the go. No need for a cup just rub directly on your wet whiskers, lather and get your shave on. The end result is a much better experience and a smoother shave. 

Trust me, you won't be the only one to feel the difference.

Cheers & Happy Shaving.G

Menswear Monday: Introducing G - Like Steve McQueen



JaneSquared is mixing it up and introducing a new feature:  Menswear Monday. We're welcoming G to Jane Squared for regular menswear posts. You've seen G around in several of Aili's photos, but now we get to hear from him!

**********
I'm usually behind the camera, so this is a nice change. 

Like Steve McQueen:
All I need is a fast machine, well also the right gear. A leather jacket and set of boots are a great investment and can be worn in almost any occasion. Keep in mind that leather, if taken care of properly, can last several years so it's worth the extra amount on the initial purchase. The other benefit is it blocks the wind very well while looking awesome. Stay warm!

Also, the beard isn't permanent so, I'm going to do a feature on shaving in the near feature.
