In my magnificence profession during the last 16 years, I’ve labored with all of them: The Trendy 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 boys’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. But it surely was responding to a callout, searching for somebody to assist them drive the model ahead within the digital grooming area, to assist navigate the pitfalls so many earlier than it had fallen into, that I felt my expertise, experience – and doubtless ego – may assist this enterprise stick!
