Ahahahahaha. This part really got me -

"A serious shave cream that provides a good lather is Kiehl's White Eagle... Apply creams or gels with a badger-hair brush, which lathers more evenly than your hands and lifts the hair, giving you a closer shave."

Now, I used to use Kiehls before I started with a badger brush and the higher end creams and soaps, and I still consider it an ok cream if I don't have a brush. But, that being said, Kiehls does NOT lather AT ALL. Has the guy ever used this stuff? Or is he just plugging products? Kiehls is just a very thick cream, it has no lather what so ever. None. Nada. And, adding a badger brush to Kiehls is the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard.

Rodney Cutler is a former Australian-football player and Ironman triathlete, and the owner of the Cutler salons in New York City.

... try Aveda's peppermint shaving gel ($12; aveda.com), which delivers a warming tingle that can become an addiction. Apply creams or gels with a badger-hair brush ($50 to $250), which lathers more evenly than your hands and lifts the hair, giving you a closer shave.

Guess what salon you can purchase Aveda products from....?

He would served his readers better just to link to this site, but then again I don't suppose that helping his readers was quite what he intended.

Yeah people shouldn't just be able to use your artwork like that without your permission. At first I thought you wrote it but if you didn't then they need to get your OK.

Can you say shill?

If he didn't own a salon, I'd think it was just ignorance.

Always use pre-shave oil? Bahahahaha

Exactly! Who does Esquire think they are?! I think I need to give Jackie Chiles a call...

I am outraged by this stupendous example of wanton indifference!
