The Best Shave Ever?

The Signature Shave

How did we create the closest and mostcomfortable shave ever?
Through extensive research, trial and error, and combining the very best of
tradition and technology.

The tradition comes from the steaming hot towels that soften and prepare your face and multiple applications of hot lather.

The technology comes from the use of a fresh triple-blade razor and the most advanced shaving creams, gels and post shave solutions available.

Products that condition and heal the skin, provide superior protection against the blades, and allow an extremely close shave without irritation.

The result is a shave so relaxing, close and comfortable it almost defies belief.

Why did we take this approach?

The obvious reason was to give you the absolute best shave experience possible. We also believe, however, that the perfect shave shouldn’t only be available at a shop but should be an experience that one can recreate at home.

With the right techniques and the right products, you can do just that.

Shaving is no longer a chore, but a ritual that you will enjoy and look forward to.

Anthony Logistics Body Sprays

Take Another Shot of Courage.

A new line of body sprays from Anthony Logistics hit the MUG shelves recently. Body Sprays are new for Anthony Logistics and an expanding line at MUG.

Anthony Logistics' Body Sprays come in four flavors that are intended either to reflect or instill a certain feeling. The four names are Courage, Strength, Spirit, and Energy.

We don't know for if the sprays are supposed to reflect how you feel at the moment or if, for example, a shot of "courage" is supposed to help you on that difficult job interview. Ultimately, like any spray or scent, you (or your wife or girlfriend) will probably determine your favorite. In my case, as you can guess, my wife's favorite is Courage.

It's easy to try them out without breaking the bank. All four are available in the Body Spray Sampler, which lasts longer than you might think. And the sample pack only costs $20. There really isn't a bad scent in the pack and, to be honest, I'm not convinced that Courage is the only one I want in my cabinet when the little bottles run out.

Woody's Meat and Potatoes

Woody's Meat and Potatoes Cleansing Bar Packs a Punch!

From the pictures, the only thing that appears to set this bar of soap apart from the others is the unusual package: it's wrapped like a piece of meat.

The images on the MUG web site don't do it justice. The thing is huge. I was at the MUG store a couple weeks ago and saw one in real life for the first time. I thought "now that's a frikkin' bar of soap", and snatched one up on the spot (along with a bunch of other stuff I'll write about later on).

The first thought I had after unwrapping the beast was that I had better not drop it. No sooner did the thought occur to me when the massive thing slipped from my grasp and landed on my foot with an impressive, bone-crushing thud. This is a real man's soap and it announced its arrival in a manly way.

I lathered up and immediately noticed the citrus scent. I also noticed that, like the bar itself, the scent took after a large citrus fruit - a grapefruit to be exact. It was quite refreshing I must say, and in terms of cleaning up, it did the job just fine.

This bar also doubles as a shampoo. The last time I used soap as a shampoo was probably when I was ten years old, but this hefty monster produces so much lather that you have to wonder if there really is a bottle of shampoo in there too!

The last test was to see if it would fit in the soap holder in my shower. There was barely enough room for it and when I set it in there it immediately slid right out. I had to move some of my wife's stuff off the hangy thing to find room for it. It was then that I thought perhaps this London Broil Cut should be offered in two smaller Choice sizes instead.

Either way, Woody's Meat and Potatoes Cleansing Bar is a formidable addition to your routine and most definitely works as advertised.
