One Size Does NOT Fit Every Man

We’ve all been there. The tag says, “One Size Fits All,” and all we’re thinking is: “Does it though? … Does it really?” Most of the time it doesn’t – and this is not just limited to clothing. Did you ever wonder why Gillette, our sponsor for today’s post, has so many different razors out in the market? It’s for exactly that reason: one size does not fit every man. Different skin, different hair, different budgets, different lifestyles, different looks. All of them might lead a guy to choose a different razor. Gillette has options to cover it all, and that’s what we’re gonna talk about today.

Last week I was invited to an event in New York’s Chelsea district, a night filled with cool dudes, classy drinks and — you guessed it — a whole bunch of Gillette razors. The evening was hosted by my buddy Adam Gallagher, who, with the help of a bunch of twins (Moti and Ami Ankari included 😉) walked the crowd through different trending beard styles. I actually thought it was awesome they used twins, so you could really see 1. how a beard style actually makes for a big difference in your overall look, 2. have a side-by-side comparison of two styles, all other things equal, literally, and 3. because it really proved that even when men are otherwise exactly the same, they still may want to choose different razors.

Gillette’s line up for the night featured the new Gillette3, the MACH3, the disposable Sensor3 Cool, the new Gillette5 and the Gillette Fusion5. That’s 5 razors and thus a whole lot of options, but check out this link to see what styles you can achieve with which of these!

Aside from the presentation, the evening was rounded out by a dopp kit customization station, which I temporarily took over for the shot 😉 and several professional barbers who offered free shape ups and advice with the Gillette products, who just happened to look classy as hell. I didn’t get a shape up myself, cause I had just used my Gillette Fusion5 — my go-to for the clean and refined look — the morning of, so I had come prepared!

I hope I could intrigue you a little bit to put more thought into which razor is right for you, thank you guys for reading, and stay dapper!
