BEARD OILS FROM OTTER WAX AND MR. BEAR

really funny. i got my beard since 19 years. not always so full as today and the last 5 years but every time more than a mustache. my wife just knows me from photos without having a beard. we are married more than 17 years. but i never found such a lot of beard grooming stuff or styling hints and even men with beards around me than the last 2 years. 2 weeks ago ALEX from because blog send me a wonderful beard soap, i did not tried yet because of the nice look. i wont fuck this up. last friday OLLI THE BARBER gave me the OTTER WAX beard oil for testing. one day before i ordered MR. BEAR BEARD OIL from sweden – that’s life. i did a little comparison of both oils. by the way: if you have a full beard i just can advise you to use an oil. your beard hair is getting smooth and bright. and it is so cool to smell the fresh air blowing up your mind straight from your chin.the package design of OTTER is unbeatable, but the closing of the bottle is really f***ing bad. after in use for 2 times the cover got broken and so you cannot close it correctly any more. MR. BEAR’s bottle design is so shitty that it is really funny and good again. it’s charming – i like it. okay, the bottle looks like a nose drop bottle but the idea with the pump is perfect. so the bottle does not get grease and oily. closing of the bottle works perfect. in use both oils are really great. your beard thanks this grooming to you. it gets a smooth and lightly grip and pleasant log fragrance. OTTER WAX smells so pure for nature: cedar, vetiver, pepper.  you think you walk through a forest by smelling it. MR. BEAR smells natural too but fresher. i got the CITRUS BEAR BREW. the ALL NATURAL OTTER WAX beard oil is made in the USA, MR BEAR comes from sweden. give your beard a try! pics | LTG

RECYCLED DENIM iPhone 4 & 4S CASE | DARK DEEP BLUE

just 4 months in gentle use, this shitty orange SGP CASE is loosing its first skin and getting ugly – not looking good and rugged but unsightly. by chance i found this quite nice and heavy duty looking iPhone case made of recycled denim. and unbelievable: it costs just 25,- €. you will find it directly at the IKKU® online store or @ amazon. here some facts: made of recycled denim, polycarbonate construction, 20% recycled denim, 80% organic cotton, easy snap-on attachment, durable hard-shell construction with a soft feel, four-corner coverage, contoured skinny fit, precision cut-outs provide quick and easy access to docking connection and other device features, zero-waste design. the denim is raw, unwashed. love it right now, just 2 hours in use. you can get some other denim and canvas colors. a case for iPhone 5 isn’t available yet. pics | LTG

NOW ONLINE: PANCHO AND LEFTY | THE SHOP FORMERLY KNOWN AS MR. MUDD AND MR. GOLD

some times ago i wondered because i could not find swedish MR. MUDD AND MR. GOLD online shop any more. the site was gone. yesterday i found PANCHO AND LEFTY. ah, okay, this is the shop “formerly known as MR. MUDD AND MR. GOLD”. i think this will be a good thing! there you do not find all those well known heritage and vintage brands from all the shops over europe but some fresh ones from japan. hard to get brands outside japan and i think for some guys unknown. important: no customs must be paid for us europeans when buying KAPITAL, WAREHOUSE COMPANY or CROSSED ARROWS stuff. some product sites are empty and miss the stuff, but i think the launch of PAL was just some days ago. and i hope they will offer their prices not only in swedish kronen in future – US$ and euros are missing. check it: panchoandlefty.se pics | Pancho and Lefty
