In my magnificence profession over the past 16 years, I’ve labored with all of them: The Fashionable Man was the first sponsor of Manface once 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 lads’s on-line grooming world – nobody ever actually received it proper.
So once I first heard about Humanery.com, I used to be sceptical; feeling I’d seen all of it earlier than and that I knew its eventual destiny.
