Your father, and your father's father, trusted their barber to give them the best shave possible. Now it's your turn to continue the tradition.

Larry Paul, Creative Officer at Sharps, maker of Barber and Shop, top-of-the-line shaving and grooming products, is also licensed barber. Larry wanted to create a shaving experience and superior line of products that regular everyday guys like us could afford. Barber Brigade was born.

With Mint Kick for heavy beards, Citrus Bite for light and fragrance-free Rebellious for those of you with easily agitated skin, their shave gel goes on clear so you can see your whiskers underneath, and any imperfections that might trip you up, making shaving easier. And, dare I say, more enjoyable.

$6.99-$8.99. Exclusively at Target.

Beer gets spilled. Ketchup gets dropped. Things happen. And you either pray the stain comes out, or you buy a new shirt.

But this is 2006, my friends. The new millennium. The future. We can now laugh at spilled beer. (Actually, you should never laugh at spilled beer, but I'm trying to make a point.)

The geniuses over at Nano-Tex have used their expertise in nanotechnology to create a fabric that not only resists stains, but is also durable and incredibly comfortable.

And their fabric is already being used by more than 30 of the brands you love - including Brooks Brothers, Dockers, Nike, Gap, Old Navy, Bass Pro Shops, Lee, Nordstrom, and Nautica - for everything from dress shirts and pants, to khakis and ties. So looking great after having wings for lunch is no problem.
