In my magnificence profession during the last 16 years, I’ve labored with all of them: The Fashionable Man was the first sponsor of Manface after I launched again in 2011. I used to be the early weblog editor for Mankind. I used to like working with the now defunct Brummels of London. There simply by no means appears to have been a breakout star of the boys’s on-line grooming world – nobody ever actually bought it proper.
