Curated Mother's Day gift ideas from brands founded and run by women.

Almost all of us have been there: you’re trying to shave your (facial) hair, all goes well, but shortly after you’re done, you notice your skin is irritated. Razor burn! 

Every guy knows the feeling of meeting a cute woman from work, school, or hobbies. You hit things off, but you want to take the relationship to the next level — going from friends to dating.

Coconut oil has many practical uses outside of cooking. With antiseptic properties, it’s actually a great at-home remedy for razor burn. It also softens beard hair.

It’s a shame that outdated ideas of masculinity prevent many men from adequately caring for their skin. Even though it’s not even lipstick, a lot of men seem apprehensive about even using lip balm. 

If you’ve ever used a razor, chances are high that you’ve had to deal with razor burn at one point or another. 

So you’ve made the first step and you’ve managed to get the girl to kiss you, and now she’s your girlfriend. Hopefully, it doesn’t stop there. We all know that laughter is good “medicine,” but did you know that there are more benefits to sharing smiles--especially in a relationship? 

The way your beard looks makes all the difference. Do you want to look fresh or like you were raised by wolves up in the mountains?

Everyone feels down now and then. But when persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and apathy are present, it can be indicative of depression. Depression has also been associated with weight gain, inability to concentrate, and in extreme cases, thoughts of self-harm and/or suicide. 

To get a girl(friend), you need to be able to flirt with her. Sure, you can try to just walk up to a woman you find attractive and tell her that, but chances are that that neither party would appreciate it that much.
