A History Lesson in Facial Hair [Infographic]
Many men have come across a pivotal question in their lifetime (most likely multiple times); to grow a beard, or to not grow a beard. Do you remember when the movie “300″ came out? It was as if every guy decided to grow out his beard and join a CrossFit gym. It turns out that historically, the beard was a mark of manliness, but is it still held high in today’s standards? Find out more with this great infographic from Online PhD in Facial Hair. Let me know whether you rock the beard or prefer staying clean shaven and why with by posting a comment on my blog!

How To Prepare For St. Patty’s Day Soiree’
Okay, so whether you’re truly Irish, of Irish heritage, or just in the spirit of the celebration, tomorrow is St. Patty’s Day and it’s about to go down! But being the humanitarian that I am, I must drop a few pointers for my loyal clients and readers on how to prepare for the St. Patty’s Day debauchery.
- LEAVE WORK EARLY TODAY – That’s right! The best way to the start the weekend off right is to take a half-day today and get the hell out of there! It might be real convenient if you were to suddenly get a tummy ache after lunch. Perhaps you ate something that didn’t agree with you? (hint, hint) This step in the process is imperative in order to achieve step 2
- GO STRAIGHT TO THE BARBER SHOP – Yup! Leave work early to get to the shop early! If you’re really fly you would have me come straight to you and skip the long barber shop wait. Get yourself pampered, cut, shaved, invigorated, swagmatized, and motivated in only the way that a man’s man can! At this point you should…
- START DRINKING YOUR WATER – At this point you should have a 22L of bottled water with you and by your side at all times. This is imperative in the St. Patty’s debauchery preparation.
- GO STRAIGHT TO THE NEAREST PUB – After you have gotten swaggerific and dapper, make sure to stop by the nearest neighborhood pub for beer on tap and a couple of shots as a precursor to tomorrow’s lechery. And dinner wouldn’t hurt at this point as well. You need to be well nourished in order to withstand the impending salaciousness of the weekend. Pace yourself and don’t go too hard just yet. It’s just day one.
- AT SOME POINT GO HOME AND GET REALLY GOOD REST - I would suggest getting a good 8-9 hours of sleep, to prepare your body for the craziness of Saturday’s St. Patty’s Day celebration. If at all possible sleep in, just lay there staring at the ceiling. Upon waking up, get back on that water bottle again. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Keep that skin looking refreshed, you don’t want to look like a party animal with bags under your eyes. That’s not sexy!
- REPEAT PROCESS - Do it all again! Be sure to eat a good, healthy, well balanced meal during the day (no, fried bar food is not healthy nor well balanced). This is a must so that your body is not malnourished during the evening’s activities of excess. You don’t want to be that dude that’s passed out on the sidewalk. Continue drinking water all throughout the afternoon.
- PARTY HARD – This is New York City! We party hard on St. Patty’s! Go wild, get crazy, and be good at what you do! Just make sure you follow all of my tips so that you at least look good doing it!

Rene’s Grooming Tips of the Day!
Today’s grooming tip is about the sensitive facial skin. Now is a really great time to get your sexy on, as the season is changing, Spring is coming in, and the weather is becoming slightly warmer and less bitter-dry.
1. Use a facial cleanser for your face, not the same soap/cleanser that you use for your body. Body washes and soaps run the risk of drying out the sensitive skin on your face. Don’t chance it! Be kind to your face, it’s the only one you have!
3. Exfoliation is key. Even if only once a week, a good exfoliation product removes dead cells from the surface of the skin, and helps to lessen potential problems with in-grown hairs and/or acne. (Sometimes what appears to be acne is really in-grown hair bumps). Particularly if you are a smoker, this will really make a difference in the appearance of your skin.
2. Drink lots and lots and lots of water! The best way to keep that skin glowing like Aquaman is to stay hydrated. If you tend to stop by the pub for that after work beer on occasion, be mindful that you need to consistently re-hydrate your self.

Medicine Cabinet Must Have
Baxter of California Clay Pomade: One of my absolute favorite styling products.
This matte finish men’s styling product is exactly what I need and reach for when looking for a product with light feel yet strong hold. I literally only need a small portion (about the size of a dime) to achieve a moderately firm holding effect. This allows me to still run my fingers through my clients hair with confidence that the style will hold throughout the day. With just the right amount of application, Baxter of California Pomade can be effective while still being light as well. Over-portioning this product during application is not something that I personally would advise as you run the risk of creating a heavy, greasy situation up top (unless of course you’re going for that crunchy, Fonzy look). Ideally, you should be able to wake up in the morning and there is no product on your pillow. That is what I especially like about Baxter of California Clay Pomade, with the right amount you can achieve really great results without looking too over-styled. With this product, less is best.
The ingredients list includes beeswax, lemon peel oil, fennel oil, sage oil, clay, and a smell that gives you the feeling that you are using a product that is good, natural, and healthy. I have created a product combination that I like to call Moon Mud, where I mix Baxter of California Clay Pomade and Malin + Goetz Sage Styling Cream to create a Rene of NY proprietary blend that many of my clients absolutely love! Be on the lookout for a future post about my Moon Mud blend. Meanwhile, make sure you have Baxter of California Clay Pomade in your medicine cabinet!
