			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Father&#8217;s Day is one of those Hallmark holidays that sneak up on you. Unlike the December holiday season when you can&#8217;t get away from &#8220;The Little Drummer Boy&#8221; and  Santa Claus imagery, Father&#8217;s Day doesn&#8217;t get a fair shake. If you&#8217;re still wondering what to give dear old Dad this year, here are 10 last-minute ideas for the perfect gift.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-739" style="margin: 10px;" title="Tom Ford Bois Marocain Fragrance" src="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/o.10438-223x300.jpg" alt="Tom Ford Bois Marocain Fragrance" width="134" height="180" />1. <strong>Tom Ford Bois Marocain Fragranc</strong>e ($180, <a href="http://http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446254369&amp;afsrc=1&amp;site_refer=GGLBASE001&amp;ci_src=14110944&amp;ci_sku=0888066005388" target="_blank">Saks Fifth Avenue</a>)</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no doubt that Tom Ford practically wrote the book on how to look like a real man, and his fragrances are everything you&#8217;d expect: masculine, sexy, mysterious and a little dirty (in a good way). It&#8217;s not quite Spanish Fly, but this is a gift for your <em>dad</em>.</p>
<p><a href="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/product_116.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-740" title="Baxter of California Straight Razor" src="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/product_116.jpg" alt="Baxter of California Straight Razor" width="120" height="120" /></a>2. <strong>Baxter of California 45th Anniversary Straight-Razor</strong> ($345, <a href="http://http://www.baxterofcalifornia.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&amp;p=116">baxterofcalifornia.com</a>)</p>
<p>45 years ago, Baxter Finley created his first grooming product for men and the Baxter of California brand was born. In honor of the anniversary, the brand is going back to its roots with a limited-edition cut-throat razor handcrafted by Hart Steel. It features 24k gold inlay “45” on the spine of the blackened steel blade to mark the milestone, and includes a plush leather sleeve for the blade.</p>
<p><a href="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Screen-shot-2010-06-15-at-9.03.44-PM.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-741 alignleft" title="The Art of Shaving Fusion Chrome with Pro-Glide Razor" src="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Screen-shot-2010-06-15-at-9.03.44-PM-204x300.png" alt="The Art of Shaving Fusion Chrome with Pro-Glide Razor" width="143" height="210" /></a>3. <strong>The Art of Shaving Fusion Chrome Collection with Pro-Glide Razors </strong>($150, <a href="http://http://www.theartofshaving.com/special/landing/20100512_fathersdaygifts" target="_blank">theartofshaving.com</a>)</p>
<p>These days, razors have more bells and whistles than a one-man band, but that doesn&#8217;t mean it can&#8217;t look stylish in your bathroom. Check out The Art of Shaving&#8217;s newest upgrade to the Fusion Chrome Collection razor. The chrome-plated razor not only uses the newest Pro-Glide Razors, but it features a no-slip grip, micropulse power and a handy headlight so you can see where you&#8217;re going!</p>
<p><a href="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/p100997z.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-742" title="Wahl Lithium Ion Trimmer" src="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/p100997z-300x300.jpg" alt="Wahl Lithium Ion Trimmer" width="126" height="126" /></a>4. <strong>Wahl Lithium Ion Facial Hair Trimmer</strong> (Sponsored) ($49.95, <a href="http://www.wahl-store.com/detail/WAH+9876%2D2001" target="_blank">Wahl-Store.com</a>)</p>
<p>As a shout out to our new advertisers, Wahl&#8217;s Lithium Ion Trimmer deserves a lot of credit. This all-in-one set contains numerous changeable blade heads and guards to trim, sculpt and shear any kind of facial hair from beards and stubble to goatees and sideburns. And it&#8217;s Lithium Ion battery lasts three times as long between charges.</p>
<p><a href="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/198.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-743" title="Zeo Personal Sleep Coach" src="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/198.jpg" alt="Zeo Personal Sleep Coach" width="144" height="125" /></a>5. <strong>Zeo Personal Sleep Coach</strong> ($199, <a href="http://www.myzeo.com/products/zeowithfreecoaching?cmpid=em_FD32010a" target="_blank">MyZeo.com</a>)</p>
<p>As a crazy insomniac, the Zeo Personal Sleep Coach makes sleeping a game. Each night, it tracks how much time you spend in light sleep, deep sleep and REM sleep. It also counts how many times your sleep was interrupted and gives you a grade each morning. Track your progress online and get tips emailed to you each day to improve your Z&#8217;s.</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-744 alignright" title="Anthony Logistics The Tool Kit" src="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/128-300x300.jpg" alt="Anthony Logistics The Tool K" width="108" height="108" />6. <strong>Anthony Logistics The Tool Kit</strong> ($18, <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P249352&amp;om_mmc=GoogleBase&amp;_requestid=42976&amp;ci_src=14110944&amp;ci_sku=1214154" target="_blank">sephora.com</a>)</p>
<p>Give Dad a different kind of tool kit. He has all the screwdrivers and hammers he&#8217;ll ever need but his hands are looking a bit busted. The four-piece kit includes stainless steel nail clippers, scissors, nail file and tweezers that come in a handy steel case. There&#8217;s no way he&#8217;ll mistake it for mom&#8217;s manicure set.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-745" title="Jack Spade Drill Nylon Soap Bag" src="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Screen-shot-2010-06-15-at-8.11.46-PM-300x209.png" alt="Jack Spade Drill Nylon Soap Bag" width="180" height="125" />7. <strong>Jack Spade Drill Nylon Soap Bag</strong> ($75, <a href="http://www.jackspade.com/shop/product.php?productid=19924&amp;cat=342&amp;page=1" target="_blank">jackspade.com</a>)</p>
<p>Every dopp kit has a lifespan and chances are that Dad&#8217;s has lived long past it&#8217;s prime. Refresh his travelin&#8217; man style with a heavy-duty but lightweight nylon soap kit from Jack Spade. It&#8217;s easier to clean than his moldy leather kit and can take a beating in the suitcase.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-746" title="Flight 001 5-Star Hotel Kit" src="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Screen-shot-2010-06-15-at-8.17.16-PM-300x226.png" alt="Flight 001 5-Star Hotel Kit" width="180" height="136" />8. <strong>Flight 1 5-Star Hotel Kit</strong> ($42, <a href="http://www.flight001.com/shop-for-your-trip/personal-care/f1-5-star-hotel-kit.html" target="_blank">flight001.com</a>)</p>
<p>If your dad&#8217;s like mine, he&#8217;ll use whatever bar soap he finds in the hotel bathroom and then complains about the scent or how dry his skin feels. Don&#8217;t let him leave the house without Flight 001&#8242;s 5-Star Hotel Kit&#8211;the ultimate survival kit for men on the move. It includes Malin + Goetz Peppermint Shampoo and Conditioner, Vitamin B5 Body Moisturizer, Bergamot Body Wash, Grapefruit Face Cleanser, mending kit, F1 shower cap, F1 dental kit, do not disturb hanging door sign, Dylans Candy chocolate square, and Maura Peters scented candle in pear moss. Even staying at the  Holiday Inn will feel five-star with this gift.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-747" style="margin: 10px;" title="The Bearded Gentleman: The Style Guide to Shaving Face" src="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/beardedgent.jpg" alt="The Bearded Gentleman: The Style Guide to Shaving Face" width="96" height="144" />9. <strong>The Bearded Gentleman: The Style Guide to Shaving Face</strong> ($14.95 10.17,<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1551523434/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=center-2&amp;pf_rd_r=15EMN1Y3EVJMPNBKGHKZ&amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;pf_rd_p=470938631&amp;pf_rd_i=507846" target="_blank"> Amazon.com</a>)</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ll forgive the shameless self-promotion, give Dad a copy of The Bearded Gentleman, written by Allan Peterkin and Nick Burns (me!). TBG is the complete guide to facial hair from cultivating a fabulous beard or mustache to shaving it all off for a clean-shaven look. Get step-by-step instructions for shaving with a straight razor, honing and stropping, dyeing your whiskers, and finding cures for the most common of shaving gripes. If you email me at <a href="mailto:nick@beardedgentleman.com">nick@beardedgentleman.com</a>, I will sign a copy and mail it to you in time for Father&#8217;s Day!</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-748" title="Malin + Goetz Dark Rum Candle" src="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Screen-shot-2010-06-15-at-8.27.24-PM.png" alt="Malin + Goetz Dark Rum Candle" width="148" height="104" />10. <strong>Malin + Goetz Dark Rum Candle</strong> ($48, <a href="http://http://www.malinandgoetz.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&amp;page=shop.browse&amp;category_id=4&amp;Itemid=57" target="_blank">malinandgoetz.com</a>)</p>
<p>I know, guys hate candles. But he just might dig this one. It&#8217;s not girly or sweet. Instead, it&#8217;s got a rich scent of rum and musk that your pops will enjoy but won&#8217;t upset your mom. Malin + Goetz candles are made with a 16% concentration of fragrance for a higher-quality scent. —<em>Nick Burns</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/lab-bodyhand.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-207" title="lab-bodyhand" src="http://hommegrooming.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/lab-bodyhand.jpg" alt="lab-bodyhand" width="300" height="459" /></a>Two new Lab Series Skincare for Men products hit store shelves this month that might help solve some of your winter woes. Meet Lab Series Active Body Wash and Lab Series Active Hand Cream. Both are formulated with electrolytes—which the company claims keeps the skin hydrated—and skin-soothing, concentrated aloe.</p>
<p>First up is the <strong>Active Body Wash</strong>.  This luxurious, gel-based cleanser and skin scrub, blends chemical and physical exfoliating ingredients. Salicylic acid unclogs pores, sloughs off dead skin and fights breakouts (it&#8217;s a common ingredient in most over-the-counter acne products), while &#8220;buffing spheres,&#8221; pumice and carnauba wax beads take a more aggressive approach by physically scraping away rough patches on your body.</p>
<p>Next, check out the <strong>Active Hand Cream</strong>. This non-greasy cream  will replenish the moisture lost during the bitter cold, and harsh winds of winter. According to the company&#8217;s clinical studies, &#8220;hands had an immediate improvement in moisturization by 73%.  Also,94% of men reported softer calluses after four weeks, and 80% reported an improvement in the condition of their cuticles.&#8221; While I can&#8217;t vouch for the company&#8217;s clinical findings, keeping your hands moisturized throughout the winter will keep your paws happy and will surely please the people they meet.</p>

Henkels, the world renowned manufacturers of kitchen knives, has jumped into the men&#8217;s grooming market with a new collection of handy nippers, clippers and trimmers for fingernails, toenails, ear and nose hair, and more. They are crafted with the same high-quality stainless steel that J.A. Henkels is known for.</p>
