But they come with a caveat…If you’ve been entrusted with them you gotta keep them alive. Like the eternal winding of grandad’s pocket watch.

During the lockdown, it appears that at least 50% of men stopped shaving, and grew lockdown beards or let their hair grow long. Whether out of utter shaving inertia, or something different to do, the grooming rituals changed. We saw everything from fuzzy chins to full Father Christmas beards appear all over social media and

For all that we have moved on, there is still a stigma around talking about mental health. And men, in particular, seem to struggle with opening up and having a conversation. Why is that? What makes men more guarded when it comes to mental health? Talk to me like a human. According to Mental Health America, one of the problems is that awareness strategies aren’t targeted towards men.
