Manscaping Tools From Romano Philippines: The STRIGIL SafeCut Trimmer

Monday, January 18, 2021


Sitting in your room all curled up with a cup of cocoa and Netflix? Hey man, how you doin? Have you already taken a bath? Have you looked at yourself in the mirror and told yourself how horrible you look today? Well, you've got to do something about it because your wife or girlfriend can smell you from a mile away. That's just wrong, that's nasty. :(

Grooming is essential, especially for men. Your woman wouldn't want a smelly boy when you're out on a date or even at home. Your skin tells your age, and if you don't take care of it, expose it much under the sun, you'll get a lot of your friends and family tell you that you look old. If you abuse it, not take care of it, then you will suffer the consequences of not looking and feeling good than people who lived in this planet the same time that you do. Are you a hairy guy like me? Do you have hair growing in different parts of your body that you would rather not have? I do too. Some Filipinos are actually like that and yes, in some instances, it's normal. If you're like me who doesn't like the aesthetic of unmanageable and unruly hair, I'd rather have it taken out either by manually shaving it off (which I do quite regularly). 

It's a little difficult to do it on other areas because of the uneven landscape especially on the privates where nicks and bumps happen. That's just not an option for a lot of men because of the discomfort you get just because you shaved it. There exists Romano Philippines who now have essentials that you can use to get rid of those problems with their premium manscaping tools. Exhibit A, this is their STRIGIL SafeCut Trimmer. This is the same thing professionals use in salons and barbershops to buzz cut hair. I also used this to cut most of my facial hair, to shape my beard, take out things in my chest, ear, and just about everywhere on my body. 



 

I still dig the leg hair so I left that part out. But for most of the face, you can use this to leave a stubble then take care of the rest with a razor if you want a cleaner shave. Although, I like the look of having a stubble so this was enough for everything. This would be something good to include in your grooming kits. I can imagine using this for the bulk of the work I need to do in trimming, then use a smaller one to sculpt or a plain razor to do the rest. But really, this has done quite a remarkable job that I didn't even need to have that because it does a close shave already. Now make sure you also utilize a clear mirror so you can see the things you can do if you decide to wear a beard or mustache. It takes a little getting used to if you want to sculpt things. Like in my case, I wear a beard so it could lengthen my face and look like I've lost weight LOL.

Now aside from the STRIGIL SafeCut Trimmer, they've also got an After-Trim Body Cleanser. This does the job, leaves your skin still supple and prevents it from becoming super dry. This thing has Aloe Vera which makes your skin feel cool and hydrated. This is pretty necessary right after the trimmer work you had. It also smells nice too, like a fainter, more manlier version of a popular men's perfume. I prefer it that way rather than making it a bit too musky or with leather notes. Some women can't really stand that sometimes. This one also feels fresh and something you'll love to wear after you take a shower, it doesn't smell like strong soap or chemically induced.




This is also very affordable, the replacement blade can also be sourced from the same store. They are a local brand and they want to spark change in the way the Filipino man depicts hygiene. They want heightened standards to make sure you feel good inside and outside when you use their essentials. I've been using it for a few weeks now and I've been satisfied overall. I even feel I can use this to have a haircut or facial hair (which I did for sampling), but it's special, I'd rather use it for just grooming THAT alone. Add to that, my own obsession with moisturizers before I sleep and after washing my face in the morning, I guess that's a good thing. Watch our unboxing here!

 

 

 Now if you fancy getting these, they're available at https://romanoesntls.com or their IG account @romanoesntls, Remember, 72% of women actually want their man trimmed. You know what to do. This would also be a nice thing to gift your husbands, boyfriends or just that guy who wants to keep clean. Can't stop you from doing that!

Cut and Color from M Barbers

Friday, November 25, 2016



M Barbers is located at the 3rd Floor of B Hotel at Scout Rallos in Quezon City. I've been here once during the launch but I wasn't able to try any of their services. So when the opportunity came to go back to the barbershop presented itself, I went and hurried to get my hair cut and colored since it's been a while that I've done that. Now this isn't your run of the mill community barbershop because it's a little upscale, but priced quite fairly. Skill wise, you won't be asking too much because once you get to sit on the chair, just let them know what you want to do and they'll take care of you. Otherwise, you can ask them for recommendations on what style actually fits you. M Barbers is part of the Jing Monis hair empire and they've been doing this for ages, for show business people, models, so an ordinary joe like me would just love that no?!



Aside from the usual hair cut and color, they've got grooming services but I didn't go through that anymore as I know it would actually take time to fix my hair. I've been getting my hair literally tied up lately because I couldn't actually manage it. Senior Stylist Edwin Espanto suggested I get the back side of my hair shaped into a V so I won't be seeing too much fuss when I'm brushing my hair and styling it a particular way. I was also shampooed and pampered by Alex Padolina then sent over for Color by Ritchie Pactor. They know what they're doing, I could actually tell because as I was suited up, not one drop of water actually landed on my shirt, nor did one speck of hair was left on my head and neck area. That tells a lot if you're doing the job right, and M Barbers delivered on that.




So after bleaching, waiting a bit, choosing a light color, waiting, blow dry and a bit of styling, they got my hair look good. Now I know, this looks high maintenance but as it turns out, I could actually just wash and wear this one today. It still looks like a million bucks, and I thought the color was good too. I'm wearing it proudly for an event later!




It takes a whole village to make this hair look good, trust me I know. Now that I've got M Barbers near my house (this is located near the Tomas Morato and Timog district) I'll have someone save me from the stress of getting my hair fixed the way I like it. Thanks M Barbers and Jing Monis!

Here's my adventure on video, hope you enjoy!



Again, M Barbers is located at the B Hotel in Scout Rallos in Quezon City. It's very near Saint Paul the Apostle Parish or the intersection of Mother Ignacia and Timog Avenue. You may call them for appointments via +639173148533 or inquire via their channels below. Thank you so much to Ms. Rain and Myke Soon for hooking us up, and THE Jing Monis for having us! I love my hair!

Watsons Celebrates Men's Grooming Month

Tuesday, June 07, 2016




Hey sports fans! We had the chance to visit the Watson's store in Podium this afternoon to see what's new. They're celebrating Men's Grooming Month. I am a little tired of brands dedicating a small part of their store for Men when almost everything is available for women. This time, Watsons knows how much grooming is an integral part of the daily lives of men like you and me. They know how to take care of you, it's simple, and it doesn't take rocket science. They're making a chance inside their stores so they can cater to what men essentially need and they're not joking, they're giving you their MANDATED products, to keep that good looking you stay that way longer.



They're dedicating a whole wall in this instance. Now there's no more excuse for you to enter WATSONS and feel all girly because you won't lose macho points inside the store. They've got the basics covered and put it in 4 sections namely SHAVE (for all those shaving gears, cartridges), CLEANSE (so you keep your face clean and pollution free), MOISTURIZE (so skin stays soft, smooth, well hydrated), and PROTECT (so it remains that way, protected from the harmful rays of the sun and the elements too). Unlike women, men usually just grab and go so putting them in one place just makes a lot of sense.


Oh and if you're excited as I am, start with these three things that are offered on 50% off. The Gillette Mach 3 is now at Php 147, the Nivea Men Oil Control at Php 59.50 and the Safeguard Men Body Wash is only Php 99.00. This is not a joke, I bought 2 of those Safeguard Men Body Wash because I really use it. I bought the shave for my Dad and the Nivea for my brother who's a little vain in that department.


There are other cute things I found inside WATSONS that are worthy to mention, look at this cute MOLY COW Nebulizer. For Asthmatic people like me, this might be a good thing to have at home when there are emergencies. I also eat a lot of seafood these days and this might cure my allergies if I get asphyxiated.

I also have been too tired recently, so this Milk Smoothing and Moisturizing COW Facial Mask might be a good thing to have while resting. I'm using it right now as I'm writing this article hahahah!
For those who don't have time to go to BENCH like me, (sorry I'm very busy covering events!) I usually get a lot of my body spray essentials at WATSONS too. Grab your favorite Bench Eight and Bench Atlantis sprays and reminisce your highschool days. Oh those stories, I'm sure you've got a lot of them!
WATSONS has their own pharmacy, with professionals giving you some sound advice for over the counter medicine and generic ones. MJ on the photo was a little sick so he bought things that would make him better, it's easy here.

Go visit WATSONS stores today and see for yourself how they take care of MEN too!
Super nice people also came to join in the fun for WATSONS MEN. On the photo is radio superstar and good looking jock Gino Quillamor, Model and Actor Victor Basa, plus Blogger Influencer AJ Dee. Super humble guys! :D
Here's a video of the event earlier!



Hurry and find Men's grooming products, the essentials all in one place. It's going to be easy when you shop in WATSONS!
