Take Advantage Of More Fathers Day Specials
Take advantage of these Fathers Day specials, some of which end today, whether you are shopping for your father or yourself:
Baxter of California - 20% off with promo code "DARTH". Ends today (June 10th). Why Darth? He's a father of sorts. Just see their site.
John Allan's - 10% off with promo code "GIFTS08". Ends tomorrow (June 11th). Will somebody please buy me the Roll Up
What do you get the father you never knew who happens to be hell-bent on crushing the rebellion and ruling the galaxy? Baxter of California thinks a good shave is all you need to overcome the lure of the dark side.
For the dark lord in need of a better shave there's SHAVE 1.2.3 ($60). For the aging emperor trying to recapture his youth there's the Anti-Aging Package ($55). For the smuggler constantly on the Kessel run there's the TSA-Approved Travel Kit ($50). And for the droid in need of new hardware there's the Baxter Manicure/Grooming Set ($200).
So no matter what your level of midi-chlorians, there's something for your father at Baxter of California. That is, as long as your father isn't a Wookie or an Ewok. I don't think they shave. Ever.
When the TSA announced their crazy rules about liquids and gels on airplanes, who would have predicted they'd create a new market. Well, that's exactly what happened, and we're seeing an explosion of TSA-approved travel kits from all the major players in the men's grooming world.
Take Billy Jealousy's Wanderlust Travel Kit ($36), which comes complete with regulation 2 ounce containers of Hydroplane Shave Cream, Fuzzy Logic Shampoo, White Knight Facial Cleanser, ILLICIT Body Wash, Cool Medium Hair Gel, and most importantly - a Clear Vinyl Pouch.
Or, if you're a Baxter man, check out Baxter of California's Travel Kit + Dopp ($50). Baxter's gonna outfit you with 2 ounce bottles of Daily Face Wash, Oil Free Moisturizer, Super Close Shave Formula, After Shave Balm, Daily Protein Shampoo, a couple of hotel size EDA cleansing Bars, and a custom travel dopp bag. That means you're going to have to supply your own zip-lock clear plastic bag.
Finally, Anthony's in the TSA game with Anthony Logistics for Men's Grab + Go Travel Kit ($35). Two ounce bottles of Glycolic Facial Cleanser, Facial Scrub, Shave Cream, Astringent, Coconut Shampoo, Cleansing Gel, and the requisite zip top plastic bag.
Most of your favorite brands now sell these airplane-safe travel packs, so click on over to your products of choice and get set to sail through the airport.
The boys of Baxter have this holiday gift promotion for you. Buy any Skin 1.2.3 ($40) or Shave 1.2.3 ($60) kit between now and December 20th and receive a free Dopp bag with your purchase. Here's the deal - just add the Dopp bag (normally $25) to your shopping cart, then use coupon code "DOPP" when checking out. Dope!
The deals are starting to line up as the holiday shopping season officially kicks off tomorrow. Baxter of California wants to be your BFF - that's Best Friends Forever, if you're over 35. Actually, it's the Baxter of California "Baxter Friends and Family" sale, but I'm sure they meant BFF in both ways. Just use coupon code "BFF" at checkout when shopping at www.baxterofcalifornia.com and receive 25% off your entire order. Sweet!

Baxter of California Oil Free Moisturizer Promotion
Does Kanye West use Baxter of California products? I have no idea. But I do know of this nice little promotion going on at Baxter of California website:
Spend $60 and receive a free full sized bottle of oil free moisturizer.
You may have read our reviews of Baxter of California in the past, and if you have, you'll know we think Baxter's line of men's grooming products is among the finest we've used. Their moisturizer is particularly good. I went through that stuff in a hurry.
To take advantage of this offer, add their oil-free moisturizer to your cart, spend at least $60, and enter "OIL" (in all caps) for the promo code when checking out. Oh, and do it by the end of this month. You'll be glad you did.
This Just In - Baxter of California Clay Pomade and Hydro Salve: Lip Balm
Who's sporting a clean shave? That's right you are! Now it's time for a little stylin' and profilin' with a couple Baxter of California accessories. I'm talking about Hydo Salve: Lip Balm for those luscious lips, and Baxter of California Clay Pomade - "Styling clay for men’s hair".
A blend of natural clay and wax gives hold and texture to hair. Leaves hair with a matte look.
Baxter of California's Clay Pomade was also a Best Styling Product winner in the May 2007 issue of Men's Health. I'm quite sure that the last time I had clay in my hair was in Mrs. Jenkins' art class in elementary school, and I didn't win any prizes.
Hydo Salve: Lip Balm is $8 for a .5 oz./15 ml. tube. Way cooler than your black chapstick and comes in deliciously kissable mojito flavor.
Also, make sure you click over to the (almost) free samples when you're checking out. Great way to try a few new things or get some travel sizes for your on-the-road bag.
Enter promo code "BALM" (all-caps) when checking out
Offer is good until March 20th, but why wait? Did you know that Baxter's Hydro Salve is mojito flavored? Mojitos are the "in" drink these days. They brought Sonny Crockett and that Asian/Cuban chick together in the recent Maimi Vice. They probably also tore them apart. If only they had mojitos in lip balm form.
Baxter of California Wins MenEssentials 2006 Consumer's Choice Grooming Awards
Congratulations to our friends over at Baxter of California for scoring high marks in Men Essentials' 2006 Consumer's Choice Grooming Awards. Not only did Baxter come in first place for eight categories of the nine categories they were nominated in, they won the major award of Best Product Line. Phew! That's a lot of acceptable speeches.
Personally, I thought they were robbed of Best Original Screenplay, but what do I know? More details of the win can be found either at the Baxter of California or this page at Men Essentials.
Missed the today show this morning? Then you missed GQ magazine's style editor Adam Rapoport talking about some great last minute gifts for your man. Luckily the entire clip is here on MSNBC.com. Oh, and what did he just say about 3 minutes in? Did he just recommend Baxter of California men's grooming products? I think he did! In fact here's the list of products that were on display:
Baxter of California is a men's-only skincare line. The design is smart and masculine; the quality is excellent. A guy will never go out and buy this stuff on his own—at least not until you get him hooked on it.
Now get moving! Only a handful of days left until Christmas.
I had hoped that shot would come out better. You really can't see the design on the T. (ShavingStuff wife is may not be Ansell Adams, but she can snap a great pic. I think me and the ShavingStuff lighting intern need to have a talk.) Luckily we've got a better photo of it on the left. It's the evolution of man, done ascii style. Part of the recent Baxter of California redesign, and of course their slogan - "The Evolution of Men's Grooming."
Want one of your own? Only $20 at BaxterofCalifornia.com. Click on over a better shave. Leave there with a better shirt.
You know how people tell you not to judge a book by it's cover? You know why people tell you that? Because everyone judges books by their covers. So sometimes it pays to change your cover.
That's right, I'm talking about the Baxter of California packaging update which launches this Wednesday November 15th. Click on the image to the right to see an example of the new look. Is that ascii art on the side? Nice.
Baxter is scrapping its current logo (introduced just five years ago) and going with a more current—i.e., self-consciously old-fashioned—look. The change is "completely aesthetic," admits company president Jean-Pierre Mastey. "Our old packaging said 'apothecary,' but we wanted a design that looked more 'lifestyle.'" Or, as Chris DiGiacomo, whose firm, Digi-Akimo, crafted the redesign, puts it, "The new look should appeal to people who are buying $200 jeans and limited-edition sneakers."
Well, I'm not buying $200 jeans, but I want to look like I am. Are you starting to get it now people? Lifestyle!

And you have to use the word "Baxterized" in your haiku.
