This was back in 2002 when the term "Metrosexual" was still a thing.
Jimmy was not "Metro" far from it - maybe this is why we all latched on to the phrase.
Even though Jimmy didn't put too much effort into the "Look good" part, he still understood the sentiment. Somehow universally true within our own minds. The phrase just works...
Look in the mirror. What are the first things you notice? Whatever it is most important is COMPLETELY up to you - Your opinion matters most. That's where the feel-good comes from. Jimmy would want you to put just a tiny bit of effort in that will give you the pride to follow through on the feel-good part. Here's a few things to consider.
You don’t need to be a model to have a great smile. You just want one that doesn’t feel forced or fake. Feel good and the smile will be there for you. Yellow or grimy teeth tell the world you don't care, so make sure you’re brushing and using teeth whiteners, especially now when most people are doing their only public smiling on Zoom.
Cut them! Often! Fingers AND toes (we’re looking at you, Mr. Who’s Gonna Look At My Long Toe Nails? The answer: the ladies are!). You can't slip by during th summer without keeping those toenails trimmed. Beach/Flip flops ect.. And yes, a little filling goes a long way. Trust us.
If you have hair growing out of your nose and/or your ears, guess what? Nobody wants to see that. If they say they don’t notice it, they’re being polite. We have you covered. Brio has a long history of keeping your hair in check. The Beardscape covers below the belt to full hair cuts and anything in between.
Ready to try something different with your facial hair? Now is the time!
The key here is accentuating your face shape, not exaggerating it. Work with what you have to look your best.
That’s the Swiss Army knife of face shapes. You can pull off whatever style you want. That doesn’t mean go crazy with options. Keep it clean and tidy. A 5 o’clock shadow works well but don’t feel restricted with that. Experiment with your beard … without trying to look like you’ve been living in the wilderness for the last few years.
Bring attention to the center of your face and let your hair grow a bit. In other words, rock a goatee. You can even extend it up your jawline.
Soften the chin and add some width. Think Guy Fawkes masks with his “beardstache” - thicker around the middle of the face and tight around the rest. Fawkes had it right about revolutions and facial hair.
Add some length below the chin and jaw and keep it tight everywhere else. This is sometimes called a “Hollywoodian.”
The best thing to do is soften that pointed chin with some length, and don’t forget to round off your beard under your jawline.
If all else fails, go with the James Harden beard. If you’re going to try something with that much swagger, make sure you can back it up by dropping 50 points on whoever you’re playing.
Make Jimmy Proud.

Every year, over 2 billion razors end up in the landfill. This does not even account for the number of containers of shaving gels, lotions and creams. As we look to the future and leaving Mother Earth better than we found it, trimmers are a more environmentally conscious choice for ourselves and the generations that will come after us.
Everyone wants to save. The average woman will spend over $10,000 in her lifetime on shaving with disposable products. When we want to focus on cutting costs in our lives, choosing a trimmer will save a woman thousands of dollars over her lifetime. Even replaced once every few years, the cost of a new trimmer will only add up to a fraction of what a woman would spend if she chose to use disposable shaving methods.
While trips to local convenience store may seem simple enough, those trips add up and add on to your time out and about. Not to mention the times you forget to pick up that needed replacement blade or forgotten shaving cream. While clubs and subscriptions are popping up, they too are costly, and sometimes you just do not need your next subscription when it arrives. Using trimmers directly delivered to your doorstep saves you valuable time you could be spending on things you truly enjoy.
Outside of razor burn and ingrown hairs, choosing to utilize disposable razors may actually cause your hair to become more coarse. While this may not be a big deal in the beginning, in the long run this can actually cause individuals to have more nicks, cuts and itching skin. Trimming, while the hair may not be as close as a disposable razor shave, will not cause your hair to become harder to get rid of as you get older. Razor burn and ingrown hairs are nearly non-existent with a trimmer and once you see how smooth you can feel using one, you may never reach for your disposable again.
No need to hop in the shower or lather up when using your trimmer. This trimmer is best used on clean, dry skin. A phone call from a friend for an impromptu night on the town, you will be ready to sport your tank top in no time without having to start in the shower first.
While disposable shaving has always been at our fingertips, times are changing, and we see the importance of a transition from disposable to sustainable world as being more important to today’s woman. We think that our trimmer, the Ivy will have you feeling good not just about yourself but the environment too.
Everyone has a bikini body. Sure we are all different shapes and sizes but going with today’s mantra of Positive Body Image, we all deserve to celebrate the body we have, now.
Getting yourself ready to step out in your bikini can feel overwhelming. Here at Brio Product Group, we are committed to more than just our products. We are committed to our entire Brio Family, and one way we give back is sharing tips to help you see you can take the best care of yourself.
We know as you took down your holiday decorations, all the major retailers started showcasing the newest styles in sexy bikinis for the coming spring and summer seasons. As you were beginning to eye the suit that was right for you, we were busy creating tips to make sure that your bikini trimming experience has you feeling confident stepping into the pool or splashing through the waves at the beach.
Trimming shouldn’t be a chore, but instead part of a self-care ritual that serves as double duty - helping you look good and affording you the opportunity to treat your body the way it deserves to be treated. With our busy lives, we often forget to take the time necessary to make sure we are feeling good both emotionally and physically. Something as easy as a trimming experience done right can become something that boosts your self-esteem. Let’s get started and give you the tips to be successful when trimming your bikini line.
Relaxing in a warm shower or bath proves to be the easiest way to do this. Not only will your hair become softer and heavier from water absorption, it will allow your body to open its pores and loosen follicles for easier hair removal. Many enjoy soaking with added Epsom salts, which can be beneficial, giving support to your body by easing sore muscles, adding essential magnesium and reducing pain and swelling.
Salts can be utilized to exfoliate the area you wish to trim. The use of Epsom salts and loofahs will help promote easier removal of that sometimes challenging, coarse body hair. If the words salt and trimming in the same sentence have you shaking in your sandals, consider using that loofah with a quality oil like Olive, Almond, Vitamin E or Jojoba. If by trial and error, you find the oils aren’t cutting it, don’t hesitate to try a simple sugar scrub to exfoliate. Sugar scrubs made from scratch are simple and can be made at home with a few easy steps. The addition of pure essential oils can help to support exfoliation, to give you the optimal experience.
When you trim with the Ivy, or other electric trimmers, remember, there is no need for those gels, creams or shaving lotions. Also, you do not need to apply much pressure.
In fact, part of the benefit of a trimmer is it does most of the work for you as it glides over your most sensitive, sensual parts. Its also important to go with the flow, and by that we mean the direction of the hair. Choosing to go against the direction of the hair means that the trimmer not only has to do its trimming job but also must lift the hair at the follicle potentially causing ingrown hairs, burn or unnecessary irritation.
When you have finished trimming completely, most people reach for the closest moisturizers on the counter, but adding alcohol and perfume to a newly trimmed area is a no-no. We recommend keeping it simple, choosing once again to create an easy homemade after shave or even just the addition of a simple oil to soothe and smooth your bikini area. One of our favorites includes coconut oil and witch hazel to prevent irritation and minimize inflammation.
We recommend using loose fitting cotton panties or if it’s the evening, it’s the perfect time to climb into you comfy pajamas and call it a night. After that bath or warm shower, you may be ready for just that.
Sometimes people talk of trimming as a chore or even a taboo topic but truth be told, it's something most women do. When done right, its not only another way to boost confidence in that bikini, but also allow yourself to feel pampered and relaxed - and in today's day and age, every woman deserves just that.
Not sure what style works for your face? Looking at what is trending on the streets and big screen are great ways to identify the look that may suit you. Its easy to use a Google search and find all the “beards” and everything else pertaining to beards - from the bearded boys’ clubs to blogs and vlogs that showcase the best products to use to take your look to the next level. Beards are no longer just grown; beards are a movement.
In 2020, it is becoming apparent that there are five top trends popping up and we think you just may want to check out the best on the block this year.
It takes some time to grow a full beard, so if you are considering this style, don’t expect it to happen overnight. Still, while it grows it’s important to take care of grooming. Don’t forget that even with a full beard, trimming is necessary. Forgetting to trim up your cheek and jaw line is a big faux pas. We always recommend trimming with a clean, dry, combed beard which will decrease pulling and lessen the chance of nicks and cuts.
Those first few times you shape your full beard can be intimidating, so take your time and be careful. You can always go shorter, but growing it back takes time, so start slow. Use bigger guards and work your way backwards to protect your efforts. Caring for your beard is as important as any other ritual you have. Keeping your beard healthy takes some work, but using beard wash, conditioner and a comb will keep it in check. We promise after a few weeks of consistent effort it will be worth the wait.
Is it a beard or mustache? It's both. The trend of the “Beardstache” is a newer creature to the beard scene and is growing in popularity. While some people simply abhor the look, it is becoming especially popular with the younger crowd. It consists of a heavily grown in mustache paired with a well-trimmed and maintained shorter style beard. Like its full beard friend, this style takes a while to perfect and wear out looking like the cover of a magazine, so be patient with yourself as you get it to the length and look you like.
Getting the Beardstache to look just right can be tricky, so we suggest starting with a full 'Stache first and then grow in the stubble within a couple days of getting your upper lip looking as you like. If that doesn’t seem to work for you, keep trimming that lower jaw and let that 'Stache grow in.
This beard style may be the most versatile of beards, with several substyles under the big umbrella goatee moniker. Those wearing a goatee don anything from the landing strip to the anchor or the full goatee. The choices for the Goatee are plentiful and seem to allow individuals to create their own unique look. This style is best achieved after growing a full beard and trimming, shaping and styling to get just the right facial hair style you like to sport.
While almost any beard style is acceptable in the workplace, in years past, the short beard was the style most accepted in the white-collar world. This carefully manicured look tends to be the most prevalent amongst men in the corner office. Still, as with any beard, this style takes time and care with trimming every few days, coming and beard oil. Most think of famous actor George Clooney when they consider this style and we hear most ladies love it.
Often referred to as the 5 o’clock shadow, this sexy look seems to appeal to the older teens and young twenty-somethings. People also consider this look to be the rugged weekend style that many men sport when they have time off. While thought to require little maintenance the stubble look still does in fact require something from those who wear it. Don’t forget to trim down your neck and cheek lines keeping this look clean and remember trimming still is necessary every couple days to keep you looking top notch.
The Brio Beardscape and its counterpart, the Axis are the perfect tools to add to your collection and help you to obtain the perfect beard. With ceramic blades and lithium ion batteries, these products have helped men shape up and look their best with any beard style.
As always, our top notch customer care team is ready to assist you at a moments notice with questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing how your Brio help you look your bearded best and don’t forget, tag #showyourbrio for a chance to win monthly prizes.
Sometimes a dentist is the first to alert patients to other medical issues they are facing in life. Missing out on those appointments can be stressful or incite anxiety, but you can continue to have good dental health at home during this time of uncertainty.
At Brio, we are not Physicians or Dental Professionals nor do we claim to give medical advice, but we do have a few tips that we have come up with to make sure your next trip to the dentist doesn’t keep you in the chair longer than necessary.
From a young age we have all heard the typical requests from hygienists, dental assistants and dentists themselves; brush twice a day, floss daily and avoid sugary or acidic drinks… but in a time when our diets may not be as consistent and our dining and drinking habits have changed, it’s a good time to give a few extra tips that may promote better oral health.
It seems like often that is the cure all for everything, and dental health is no different. While it will not wash away a cavity, water does more than quench thirst.
In the US, most water is treated with fluoride. We all know that fluoride is a mineral that strengthens teeth. Our dentists use it in treatments in the office but the added fluoridation in water has been proven to increase strength in our teeth and help us to see less decay.
Water also aides in keeping your mouth clean by adding moisture and helping us to produce saliva. Often you hear of dentists mentioning dry mouth. This isn’t just an uncomfortable issue but dryness in your mouth is one reason that you may also have bad breath. Drinking water also helps to maintain fresh breath by washing away leftover food particles that may be caught in between your teeth or near your gums.
In today’s day and age, it seems that we may be reaching for snacks more than we should. It could be stress, boredom or even anxiety. As we journey into the unknown, many people are finding comfort in foods we may have avoided in years past and we would be remiss to note that its often easier to snack when in your home environment.
Eating full meals is good for a few reasons, but more saliva is produced when you eat full meals - so when we snack, there is a greater chance that we will have leftover food particles left between our teeth. This leaves us at a higher risk for dental cavities. We know that the idea of no snacks can be overwhelming to some and we also know that grabbing easily prepared foods seems to make us feel satiated quickly.
Instead, stop and reach for what is best for dental health and beyond.
Not only will this decrease your risk of a crash it will also get your jaw working to help keep it in tip top shape.
...and by properly we want you to remember your tongue is a part of your mouth too!
Often, we find that people have always had a way of brushing and sometimes that can be harder than necessary. It's great to find a softer bristled brush for most but truly any brush that you use is the most important to have on hand. Try to brush your teeth in a circular pattern that not only gets the front and back surfaces but also take the time to reach all your tooth surfaces.
Don’t forget that it's not only important to brush your teeth, but to help remove plaque make sure you are brushing your gum lines as well. Be mindful of medium and hard bristled brushes especially if you are a vigorous brusher as this can damage both your gums and enamel.
Mouthwashes are often underutilized especially by populations that could benefit greatly from them. While they must be chosen and used with care, mouthwashes can help protect overall oral health by helping to reduce acid, increasing the ability to remove food particles from hard to reach areas and by helping to re-mineralize or repair damaged areas of the teeth that are not yet cavities.
Good mouthwashes can be a great addition to an oral care routine especially for young children and older adults. It’s important however to speak to a dental professional as to what is best for your individual needs. During this time, while offices are closed outside of emergency, there are often staff still available to help you with a decision like this one and promote a better visit when the offices open once again.
This isn’t just for germs. Remembering exactly when you got your last toothbrush can be a challenge especially in a day like today when it feels like we are living Groundhog Day, the movie. Still, it's important to continue with healthy habits like this one.
Changing your toothbrush head isn’t just about germs but also about the ability to provide you the best brushing with the brush you have. Choosing to utilize a toothbrush head or brush longer can cause irritation or tooth damage due to frayed or damaged bristles. This in turn can damage your own teeth - something no one wants to worry about.
While we cannot change what is going on in our world today, we can give you a few tips to ease your anxiety about some little things in life so that they don’t become the big ones.
We believe having a healthy oral care routine will not only alleviate added stresses of emergency visits to the dentist’s office but will also protect the dental professionals who help to take care of us each and every day.
If you are going to spend the money to upgrade from a manual brush, there is no point unless you are getting a brush that is going to do a better job cleaning your teeth. Manual brushes work great with the right technique, pressure, and duration. Choosing the right powered toothbrush can reduce the need to focus on these brushing elements – choose the wrong electric toothbrush and you still need a good brushing technique.
If you want the right electric toothbrush here’s a few things to look for
First, a strong motor. Most low budget brushes have a tiny little motor with a counterweight. It’s simply not going to cut it. In fact, while you think its action will clean your teeth effectively, it’s not going to do much more than vibrate the handle. The motor must both create and translate movement to the brush head in order to mechanically remove plaque, lift stains and make your mouth feel cleaner.
A couple of dead giveaways that will identify a brush that has a small motor are very thin brushes and a brush that runs on AA batteries. A brush with replaceable AA batteries can’t and won’t provide the power necessary to actually clean your teeth. It saves the manufacture a lot of money to build around a replaceable battery, but it will never deliver the power needed to clean your teeth.
Second, a solid battery life. With most electronic devices, the battery is usually the first thing to fail. If you own a phone that is over 2 years old, you know exactly what we mean. All batteries lose capacity over time, when you design the toothbrush around an oversized battery you are not only able to go much longer between charges but as battery life diminishes – the brush has a much longer service life compared to brushes that come with smaller batteries.
Third, is the circuit board, you may hear it called the PCB. This glorified on/off switch controls all those “fancy” functions that your brush does. Having different functions on a brush won’t clean your teeth better, but they do offer a little room for adjustment so you can choose a setting that feels right for you. We have found that 5% of our customers think the brush is a little too powerful while 5% believe it isn’t quite powerful enough. Neither group is wrong – they just have different preferences – sometimes a little adjustment is a good thing.
Finally, we have been designing electric toothbrushes for the last 6 years and one thing we have learned from dentists is that the best toothbrush is… the one that you use. So, get a brush that feels right for you and use it. This reason is the key factor behind developing 3 distinct brush head options for our SmartClean toothbrush. The other thing that most dentists agree on is that the bristles should be soft. Medium or firm bristles cause too much aggravation to the gums and should be avoided.
We believe it is important for any electric brush to have a few different options because we believe that everyone has a different idea of what feels right for them. There are several electric toothbrushes on the market that ONLY OFFER ONE STYLE OF BRUSH HEAD! If you choose a one-head brush, you run a higher risk of not liking what you picked.
Now that you know what is key, its time to consider other key factors we know are on your mind when you are choosing exactly what to look for in the purchase of your next brush.
It can be difficult to find out exactly what is inside your brush. We believe in being honest and transparent. Anyone purchasing a Brio SmartClean will know exactly what is inside our brush for both the battery and motor.
This is the bare minimum amount to cover decent components and still have a small margin. Don’t get us wrong, there are still poor-quality toothbrushes that cost well over $30, but anything less than that is nearly guaranteed to not have the ability to brush your teeth effectively.
An oscillating brush moves the bristles back and forth in a circular motion (think Oral-B) and the heads are almost always small and round. A sonic brush vibrates the bristles back and forth at a very high frequency (usually around 30,000 times a minute). We are biased to sonic brushes. We have tried both types of brushes over the years but found that sonic brushes make our teeth feel cleaner. Many oscillating brushes have enough power to clean your teeth, but we feel the difference is in a sonic brushes’ ability to move fluid in places where the bristles can’t reach, and the stimulation of your gums isn’t replicated the same with an oscillating brush.
We think that nearly everyone that uses an oscillating brush would prefer a Sonic brush, that’s why oscillating brushes are one of the types of brushes we would never recommend to anyone. Don’t get us wrong, they are good but if you are going to spend the money on a full-power electric brush, you will be better off with a sonic brush. Period.
This is about all you need to know when choosing your next brush. If you are still not sure what to choose, never hesitate to reach out to us. We believe if you are looking for a great sonic brush, ours is top-notch. We have been developing sonic brushes for 6 years and have considered all these details when we created the Smartclean. Whether you are an experienced electric brush user or looking to upgrade, The SmartClean is the choice for you. If you try it and don’t agree, send it back within 90 days for a full refund.

If you are like most guys, you have probably owned a number of trimmers, mostly terrible. A trimmer is one of those necessary pieces of equipment in your bathroom that no guy can live without. Even if you can’t grow much facial hair or you don’t shave regularly, there are many other trimming tasks that require ownership of an oscillating blade.
As young men, hair often shows up in life before our bank accounts have matured - so price is the factor that weighs in our buying decisions. I, myself have fallen victim to grooming with a less than acceptable tool. In fact, I have owned several crappy trimmers which helped inspire me to spend the last 5 years creating a trimmer that corrects all the shortcomings I have experienced with other trimmers.
The Blade is one of the most important parts of your trimmer as it affects the cutting performance. A good blade trims better, doesn’t pull hairs, doesn’t get hot and is quieter. There are three common types of blades. Here’s what you need to know:
Stamped stainless blade
Ground stainless blade
Ceramic blade
Stamped stainless steel blades are the cheapest and least effective for trimming. These blades are stamped out of a single piece of steel and formed with one operation so they are never truly as sharp as they need to be, even right out of the factory. These blades are made from softer steel and get dull quickly. A dull blade means it will take more passes to cut your hair and could also lead to skin irritation or snagging and pulling of your hair. Unfortunately there are a number of more expensive trimmers available that still use a stamped stainless blade.
The next type, ground stainless steel are big step up from stamped stainless-steel. These are generally made from a piece of harder steel and the blade is ground into shape with a grinding wheel. This method makes the blades much sharper and more precise than their stamped counterparts. The steel used is often harder and thicker so they hold their edge better as well. Ground stainless is what you will generally find on professional clippers. Ground stainless blades can be made with very small teeth and can be made to cut very close to the skin.
Use caution as it can be very difficult to tell the difference in pictures if the blade is stamped or ground and very few product descriptions say which they are.
Ceramic blades are also ground into shape however the ceramic material is much harder and allows these blades to stay sharper, longer. They also won’t rust and operate with lower friction. Unlike stainless blades, ceramic blades are easy to identify as they are generally white with a stainless-steel rake (the stationary part of the blade). Due to the limitations of the material, ceramic blades are generally only made with larger teeth and excel at cutting thick and coarse hair.
When considering any blade, you always need to consider teeth size as well as trimming range. Small teeth are better suited for cutting short hair lengths while bigger teeth are better at cutting thicker or longer hair. Blades with smaller teeth excel with the close cuts needed on your neck line and upper cheeks, and the back of your neck. Make sure you blades are able to trim as low as possible, look for a blade that cuts between ½ to 1 millimeter. If you need to get closer you may need to check out a specialized trimmer. Minimum cutting height is a detail that is hard to verify when looking at a product listing. You may have to do some research to find out the lowest blade setting when evaluating different trimmers.
With nearly every electronic device, the battery is usually the first part to fail. While we have all suffered through a dull, rusty blade, if that battery is toast, your trimmer is too. So it's important that both the battery and motor be powerful enough to do the job for a long time. An oversized battery not only holds a charge longer but will ultimately extend the life of your trimmer by being to hold a useful charge for longer.
Look for a trimmer with a lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. This isn’t 1980, so choosing anything without a rechargeable Li-Ion battery is pointless. Most trimmers will not list the size of the battery but look for a trimmer that notes 1,200 or more milliamp hours (mAH). Remember, it may be a cheaper option but don’t bother buying a trimmer with Nickel Cadmium (ni-cad) or replaceable batteries. You will be disappointed, and you will have to replace it shortly. I have never had a trimmer with a ni-cad battery last much over a year with regular use.
Now that we know what to look for in a battery lets talk the motor because it is just as important as the battery. It can be very challenging to identify how powerful a motor is as listings won’t note motor specifications. However, once you identify your battery size you will have an approximation for motor size. In some cases, bigger isn’t always better but when it comes to motors in your trimmer, it is. Due to low information from manufacturers, battery size is the best proxy for motor power. Figure out the battery size and you have your answer.
The final part of choosing the best trimmer to meet your personal needs? Guards and attachments. The correct guards and attachments will add versatility to get the look you desire. Few trimmers are good at cutting very short and very long hair so knowing what you want in your model is critical to get the best results.
If you are only using a trimmer for beards, short hair or body hair, than guards up to 6 mm will suffice however if you are looking to maintain that long beard or do your own haircuts, it’s best to look for a trimmer with guards that range up to 15 to 20 mm, anything over 20 mm becomes less practical.
Be weary of any trimmer offering an excessive number
of attachments -are you really going to use the foil shaver or
“body groom” attachment?
There are two styles of guards, ones that clip on to your trimmer and adjustable guards that rise up and down. Adjustable guards can add complication to trimmer designs and often result in lack of length options. Some adjustable guards have the bad habit of slipping down when they are pressed against your skin. For this reason, our trimmers come with a number of clip-on guards for best results.
If you are looking for a great trimmer for longer beards, manscaping, and haircuts, Check out the Beardscape. If you keep shorter facial hair styles, check out the Axis.

Alright ladies, I’m going to come right out and say it. You know what the worst part of the first day of pool season really is? That moment you realize you forgot to shave. You know what moment I’m talking about. The point of no return, when you inevitably have to take your kimono off and …damn how could I forget that part? The first day of summer can be overwhelming; your routine to get summer ready shouldn’t have to be. Here’s how I prepare to have the ultimate summer body.
The Brio Ivy Trimmer is every girl’s favorite Women's Trimmer this summer. Before I do anything remotely close to putting on my swimsuit, I always shave first. The Brio Ivy Trimmer makes sure I am always summer ready with no awkward surprises, I love it. It is so simple to use, just one button to turn on and off, there’s no secret to it! This baby cuts close and gets all the edges. The Ivy Trimmer was designed with a ceramic blade, which is 4x as strong as a stainless steel blade but creates less friction so I never experience irritation. Can someone say finally a product that gets us! I have really sensitive skin and in the past have struggled with irritation and bikini bumps so finding a trimmer that not only felt safe while using it but also left my skin clear is a huge bonus. The Ivy Trimmer comes with a .5mm blade allowing me to trim nice and close while protecting my skin from any potential snags. Before the Brio Ivy Trimmer I used triple blade razors that would always snag my skin or create in-grown hairs, not fun! Since I’ve been introduced to my Ivy Trimmer razors is a thing of the past. A luxury trimmer without the cost of constantly having to buy new razors every month? Yes please!
After I shave with my Ivy Trimmer, I moisture my skin with Jojoba Oil. The absolute best skin moisturizer, I cannot stress this enough! Jojoba oil does a lot for our skin. It doesn’t clog your pores, which can help prevent acne and irritation. Keeping healthy moisturized skin is extremely important especially after intense sun exposure. Plus the oil gives your body a nice healthy dewy look and helps highlight your bronzed skin. Applying jojoba oil after using my Brio Ivy Trimmer my skin has never felt softer! This dynamic duo is must have this summer.
When I am all done, the Ivy Trimmer comes with an awesome case that protects and organizes your Ivy Trimmer and accessories. It stores perfectly in my medicine cabinet and easily packs away for when I go on trips. If you’re looking for a quality trimmer, the Ivy Trimmer was engineered and designed to get the job done and last. You can kiss bikini bumps and snags goodbye and say hello to your ultimate summer body.
]]>“This trimmer is absolutely AMAZING!! I've spent a TON of time researching trimmers and deciding which one would be the best for my beard. Then saw someone recommending this on YouTube and decided to give it a go.
Frankly, maybe I should just consider that it's brand new, and that's why it's super sharp.. but it was trimming my beard the way a hot knife cuts into butter (due to its ceramic blade instead of traditional steel!).
“It’s the Apple of trimmers. It fits perfectly in your hand, with high-quality materials and it’s just the right weight.But the ceramic blade… OMG! It goes into your beard like a hot knife into butter. I’m going to buy this trimmer as a birthday present for every bearded friend on my list.”
Read whole review here
“After charging the battery for the first time and turning it on, the sound of the motor makes you wonder if it will be powerful enough, even at the highest speed it sounds less than half as loud as my one year old competitor trimmer but as soon as you start cutting you realize that it is not underpowered as it cuts decisively and without pulling hairs even at its lowest speed. It is a strange feeling for the first few uses that this thing that vibrates so little and is so quiet, cuts as well and with such precision.”

1. Ryan Fitzpatrick- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
His beard game was pretty weak when he first started with the Bills in 2009 but after some time in Buffalo, the beard took on a life of its own. Despite the fact that his wife and teammates say it looks terrible, Fitzpatrick says it isn't going anywhere. So does he consider a beard a fashion statement? According to Fitzpatrick he is known as "the guy with the beard" and says it would weird to be known as something else. (Source: Newsday)
2. Brian Wilson- LA Dodgers
When Wilson walked on the field for this season's home opener, the beard was gone but we will never forget the beard he had. As a matter of fact, it was Brian Wilson's iconic black beard that coined the phrase "Fear the Beard" in sports.
3. Brett Keisel- Former Pittsburg Steeler
He may have retired from the Steelers in 2015 but his beard lives on with its own name ("Da Beard"), a Facebook page and "Shear the Beard" charity events that raise money for children's hospitals.
