BAXTER OF CALIFORNIA / POMADE: CREAM
For almost half a century, Baxter of California has been setting the standard in grooming and skincare products specifically formulated for men. The company is a pioneer in the industry and continues to remain a dominant and innovative force.
Baxter of California recently threw its weight and experience behind hair styling products, launching a line of no-frills, high-quality pomades that are as impressive as the company’s traditional skincare line.
Our favorite from the lineup is the Cream Pomade. It’s the lightest in the series, with a soft hold and no shine. If you prefer more hold or shine in your hair, you’re bound to find one in the lineup that works best for you.
To learn more about Baxter of California, and view the company’s entire line of products, visit its website. You can also follow Baxter of California on Twitter.
If you’re in the neighborhood, we highly recommend visiting the Baxter Finley Barber & Shop, the company’s flagship retail and barber shop, to take a look at the products in person. Better yet, call and make an appointment for a haircut and shave. You will not be disappointed.

FURTHER / HAND SOAP
We’re not the type to spend time thinking about what soap to use when washing our hands, but when we ran across this product, it was too cool to pass up.
Husband and wife team Megan and Marshall Dostall use glycerin derived from biofuel to make soap. They pick up used vegetable oil from restaurants, which they process into biofuel in their garage.
Their seriously-green business is starting to pick up steam. They recently partnered with uber-chef Mario Batali, using waste grease from his LA restaurant Mozza to make their soap.
Visit Further’s website to learn how Megan and Marshall’s idea got off the ground.
BAXTER OF CALIFORNIA / RAZOR BUMP RELIEF
If you read all the press that Baxter of California has gotten lately, you’d probably get the impression they’re a brand new company trying to cash in on all the recent hype about men’s grooming products.
But they’ve been around a bit longer than that. In fact, their founder, Baxter Finley, started the company more than forty years ago because of his obsession with finding the best quality grooming products for men (which at the time really didn’t exsit).
Decades later, Baxter of California is still blowing away the competition with simple, pure, no frills products that just work.
Take their Razor Bump Relief gel, for example. If you’ve got coarse facial hair, it’s perfect for keeping your face smooth and razor bump-free after shaving. It may cost a few bucks more than what you’d find at a drug store, but you will not be disappointed. You can buy it online, along with the rest of their line of grooming products.
