Looking at all the products available in their webstore, we are tempted to say that the boys at aMENity are trying to make shaving a lot more complicated than it needs to be. However, the flip side of that argument is that they are making a mundane activity more luxurious.

aMENity offers a full line of shaving brushes, creams, after-shave lotions, and moisturizers to slap on your face. The new line of products is coming in October, which means that everything in their webstore is on super sale and selling out fast. Go get yours and start deluxe shaving.

There are all sorts of reasons a gay might have a moustache: they are rocking the entire facial hair look, they are channeling the 80s in an ironic electroclash way, or they just think it looks good. For these individuals, a quality pair of moustache scissors is a must, and Tweezerman is once again there for us when we need them. And they come with a cute little comb.

Another stache-related item of interest is the Moustache party in Toronto every third Thursday at Remington's male strip club. It's a pretty gay crowd, but guys and girls are both welcome upstairs and are encouraged to enter the amateur strip competition. Just don't take off your skivvies without a cabaret license or you may be hauled off the stage.

When one the world's largest goods producers drops $200 million to promote a new product and there's a gay angle, they certainly attract our attention. Unilever is opening its fat wallet for the U.S. launch of Sunsilk shampoo, hoping for one of the biggest splashes in the company's history. So why do we care? Because the shampoo – aimed at women – is being marketed with three gay "best friend" types who will be pivotal to the marketing push. The Wall Street Journal reports Unilver

[...] will position them as style experts and they will write advice columns in magazines such as Cosmopolitan and Star, appear as commentators on television, and diagnose shoppers' hair problems. [...]

Unilever is paying to have the trio's hair advice column appear in some magazines, such as Cosmopolitan. Star will take it as a regular editorial contribution in its August edition. The men will be among the commentators who riff about celebrity news on cable-TV channel VH-1's "Best Week Ever."

Don't get us started about pay-for-pay (i.e. disguising paid-for advertising spots as editorial) in magazines — but the idea is damn brilliant. It remains to be seen whether Unilever can execute this brand splash without tripping over the Queer Eye factor, but they've got some clout: Sunsilk is already hugely successful in Europe, Latin America and Asia. The new shampoo hits the American market this month and is already taking a huge step in ensuring its success: two of its eight variations are aimed specifically as Hispanic women, targeting the fastest growing demographic in the country. You know, beside fag hags.

Many of us consider it our gay duty to tame the wanton hairs that sprout up in unlikely places on our bodies, and it can become quite a mundane chore, especially when nose and ear hairs grow back so quickly. We personally get some masochistic pleasure from ripping out our nose hairs while we blog, but for those of you not into the pain, we have found a humorous alternative method that could possibly add a giggle to your trimming time. Possibly. If you find this sort of thing funny.

The Metrosexual movement is way over, with the prevalence of beards and hairy chests showing up on men (which we love!). But Norelco missed the memo, and is still marketing its Bodygroom Razor, which you use to shave around your carrot, walnuts, and fuzzy peach. Honestly, which part is the "fuzzy peach"? Between the legs, or...further back (and up)? It could be either. Whatever the case, Norelco wants that part of your body bald and they have the razor to do it.

Honestly, it doesn't seem practical; manscaping should still leave the suggestion of hair, at least, and this razor looks like it will rob you of everything you've got. Clippers suffice, thanks.

Click on this link and watch the video. Funny. Although if you're going to remove hair, waxing is the way to go. No rugburn-producing stubble. Think of your partner, please!

Anyone who has seen Britney Spears in the last year knows how fat Starbucks can make you, but it's hard to give up coffee, if only because the caffeine has a medicinal purpose for a lot of us (as does the whipped topping, but that is a different issue). We might have a solution though with this new pepperminty soap that helps wake you up not just by the tingly sensation it gives your balls, but by putting 250mg of caffeine into your system with every shower. That's like drinking two cups of drip coffee, and it doesn't even turn your teeth brown.

Even the butchest among us has felt the need to pluck a stray eyebrow hair, and it's hard to do with your fingers. That is where these new slant tweezers from Tweezerman come in. They come in red, white, and pink, but make no mistake, these are not for girls. They are called TweezerMAN after all. Get it? MAN, as in a man who uses pink tweezers.

One of the first signs of ageing, and a particular problem for many gay men (too many parties,) is tired, puffy eyes. Dark circles, crow’s feet, and the like just aren’t cute and lord knows the only bags you want around on Saturday night are your girlfriends.

The number one problem is puffy eyes. Usually caused by water retention after a long night of drinking and a short night of sleeping, puffiness can be minimized with DDF’s Soothing Eye Gel if you’re a big spender, or, if you’re cheap like us (please, God no) good ole’ Preparation H works wonders. Just be sure to get the cream not the ointment and stash it in another container when traveling, lest your partner think you got the ‘roids.

For dark circles, you need to lay down serious cash for the Hylexin. Sounds scary, we know, but this science-based product actually works (Mom raves about it). Not into paying the 95 bucks? Get a cheap concealer, just be sure to blend, blend, blend.

Of course, you can always just say ‘fuck-it’ and pull on a pair of Mary Kate oversized sunglasses. We won’t tell a soul what’s underneath.

It’s time to take a look at what you’re wearing down there. No, not down there, way down there, on your feet. A good pair of shoes can give you that extra bit of style that can be the difference between going home empty handed or hand in hand.

Though we hate the billboards, Kenneth Cole makes some of the best shoes around: classic, well made and stylish. His simple black “on the double” can’t be beat.

When it comes to sneakers, you could go with old standbys Nike, Adidas, or Puma, but why not try a pair of hipper Ben Shermans. We’re all over the black and gold Athens Action gym shoe. Of course, there’s always a pair of Chuck Taylor’s. Those old Converse look good on just about everyone.
