How things should smell is a big conversation in the Lock & Mane offices. We debate for hours on the best scents for hair products, lotions, perfumes and most importantly for man products. Yes, we spend a lot of time talking about what we think a man should smell like. Details magazine gave us plenty of water cooler fodder this week with their story on the six old school scents every man should own. Topping the list, Old Spice. Our office is divided. Half of us think it smells comforting and the other half say it gives them flashbacks to visiting grandpa in the retirement home. What do you think? Are there some classic scents that never grow old (pun a little bit intended?) For the dudes, which of these classics do you own? And for the ladies, is there a man scent that drives you wild?

How a Man Should Smell
Wednesday, May 12th, 2010Hayden Christensen Goes Punk?
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010
Hayden Christensen debuted a spikey ‘do at last night’s premiere of The Lazarus Effect.
He is quite handsome, but we’re not really digging the hair. Although we commend the use of man-product generally (well done, Hayden), next time just utilize it differently so you look less like one Cosmo Kramer.
What do you guys think?
Tell us in the comments!
Make It Stop
Thursday, April 29th, 2010
Ugh. What is it with good looking men and nasty facial hair these days? First it was Brad Pitt and his grody goatee and now Channing Tatum has decided to add a pornstar-esque mustache to his handsome mug.
We don’t know if it’s for a movie role or what but it doesn’t matter. That thing offends us.
May we recommend some fancy shaving and manscaping products, Channing? We think your gorge wife Jenna Dewan would approve!
Thrillist: Lock of Shame
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010
Our friends at Thrillist were kind enough to give us a shout-out in their newsletter today, featuring one of our favorite new gift sets, the Lock of Shame for Men. All guys have been there: you’re wingman for your buddy and to help him get his swerve on you fall on an unfortunate grenade. You drink to make it hurt less but at 6 a.m. you find yourself in a strange apartment across town without any of your man product. Can you possibly shave your overnight stubble with that pink foam in her bathroom? You don’t want to smell like lady all day do you?
Do It Up: Lock & Mane’s Lock of Shame Kit
Designed to help recovery during the morning after (Plan B not included), the travel-ready Lock of Shame kit offers up a flip-out trimmer for knocking out the shadow, caramel & beeswax styling gel, a caffeine-infused shock treatment face gel that’ll invigorate you and your skin, a foresty travel size shampoo, and an aluminum-free water-based deodorant, which interestingly can be refrigerated for added smell-fighting ability, a trait that doesn’t seem to apply to that Super Bowl chili you’re totally gonna get to.
The kit’s available with or without the caffeine wash, so pick what you want.
True Blood Hunk Hair
Monday, April 12th, 2010
Stephen Moyer, Ryan Kwanten and Alexander Skarsgard (aka the hotties of True Blood) cover Details Magazine this month rocking some very well manicured man-locks. Delish! We have been anxiously awaiting the return of this fab show, which is one of our favorite guilty pleasures. Season 3 premieres June 13th and we are counting down the days!
And don’t these hunky vamps just exemplify the need for good manscaping generally? We are especially loving Vampire Eric’s debonaire ‘do (phenomenal use of man-product) and Bill Compton’s bushy chest mane. In non-hair related news, we also love Jason Stackhouse’s abs. Just sayin’.
