Friday Guy Day, once again. And with that some more help from my friend Tim! (see last week’s guy post here – it was a MAJOR hit)

face lotionNeutrogena Men Triple Protect Face Lotion w/ SPF 20: A lady friend recently asked me “Do you use face lotion, and if yes, how can I get my husband to wear face lotion?”.  Well, 90% of them out there are crap.  I’m talking about face lotions not husbands.  If they are too greasy or thick it sweats right off your face.   You need something that goes on light and is absorbed by your skin. Seriously, I expect to look better at 50 than I do now and the one thing that will make that possible is a face lotion with SPF.  A lot of guys might use after shave, but that just removes moisture (or your common crappy ones do).  That said, this one soothes razor burn, smells manly and is very light.  A little goes a long way too. – Tim

Friday Guy Day

Friday, October 16th, 2009

I’ve been thinking for awhile that it would be a good idea to post occasionally on guy products. After all, there is always some dad/boyfriend/brother/husband/whatever, who needs a gift, or maybe just a little help figuring it all out.

A little over a week ago I was seriously starting to think critically about recruiting some male friends to give me their picks, when I received an email from my good friend Tim suggesting I do some posts on this exact idea. We think alike…as I said, he’s a good friend. And a good friend with taste, if I do say so myself.

With that being said, here is the first item of the series that Tim refers to as “What guys like… or what they should like if they actually give a shit”:

jvJohn Varvatos Cologne: I don’t wear much cologne, but my little brother who loves cologne also uses this.  Ironically, we both stumbled upon it on our own but it shows great minds think alike, or that this is the best smelling men’s fragrance out there. – Tim

I will say that Tim smells delightful, and he has a fetching young wife to prove that he is certainly doing something right. Also, there are not many people out there who are such critical, analyzing shoppers (just going to the grocery store and dissecting food and prices can be a mission with my dear Timmy).

A wonderful gift for the discerning gentleman! Thanks Tim, and stay tuned next Friday for more Guy Gear.
