Body grooming, or what’s sometimes unflatteringly called manscaping. If you ask the Merriam-Webster Dictionary they’ll tell you it’s: “the trimming or shaving of a man’s body hair so as to enhance his appearance.”. Essentially it’s the art of treating your hirsute hills with the same care that a golf course groundskeeper does his greens. But with more than half of Dutch men shaving more than just their face.

Skincare… why do many men find it so difficult? Whether for reasons of insecurity or a lack of knowledge a lot of men aren’t looking after their skin. And while older men see the value in looking after their skin. Younger men are less interested in taking care of their skin. At Boldking we’ve tried to make skincare as simple as possible. Our No-fuss skincare routine has only 3 steps
What women want… it’s the age-old question, and something even Mel Gibson, in his infinite wisdom, couldn’t figure out in the film of the same name. And while it’s never going to be possible to figure out what every woman wants, we decided to ask a group of women what they think about what men get up to behind the bathroom door. Everything from what facial hair should men wear,

Balding… it’s something a lot of men deal with. And something, which might make you feel helpless, as your hair follicles disappear off to the great barber’s floor in the sky. If that’s you, you’re not alone. According to one study, it affects 16% of men aged 18-29 with that percentage increasing with age. In total 42% of all men will experience significant baldness. And for many men losing their
Pubic hair… we write about it, and its removal, a lot. It’s produced some of our most-read articles including: How to shave your balls… keep em warm Shaving for work… when you’re pornstar Mick Blue [NSFW] Thinking about shaving your balls? “It’s liberating!” And the hair raising Would you let your partner shave your…?

Shaving for work when you’re… shaman Zowie Jannink. What is it about bald chins that people find so compelling? Is the shape? The colour? The texture? Or something else? And while we’re not going to try to answer that in this article –we’ll probably swing back around to it in the future– there’s something about a bald chin that says something to the world.

Lockdown forced us all to change our daily habits. And for many, that included grooming. 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. They tend
