The Thursday Buy: Duke Cannon’s Cold Shower Bundle Is Your Summer Grooming Go-To

For as many summer style essentials as you think you’ve taken care of at the moment, there are plenty of men’s grooming essentials that need to be on your summer shopping list, too. Allow me to reintroduce Duke Cannon, Minnesota-based makers of some of the best men’s grooming products, period. You might recognize the brand from my guide to the Duke Cannon Classic Man Kit, packed with four of the best men’s grooming staples, but let’s take a look at a crucial summer pick-up you won’t be able to live without: The Duke Cannon Cold Shower Bundle has a whole host of the best men’s grooming products for summer, especially as the thermostat climbs (and climbs, and climbs).

Staying cool and dry while looking and feeling your best is as important as shopping for, say, your new favorite denim shirt for summer — think of it like a new take on “look good, feel good.” And luckily for us all, Duke Cannon is one of the best grooming brands for men when it comes to helping guys through tricky, hot summer days. Yes indeed, the Duke Cannon Cold Shower Bundle is the new summer grooming essential you didn’t know you needed… yet.

Duke Cannon review

Helpfully, the essential Duke Cannon Cold Shower Bundle is packed with proper picks for guys who tend to run hot (and dealing with NYC summers, as I’ve been these past years, is really no joke). This summer grooming bundle really has it all, including Cold Shower Scrub, with a cooling effect, and the super-effective and well-made Dry Ice Cooling Antiperspirant + Deodorant. Duke Cannon has thought of everything single thing in this handy bundle, including the excellent Cold Shower Cooling Field Towels — face and body wipes to cool you down on the go. It gets even better, though — and I really do mean that.

The Duke Cannon Cold Shower Bundle is on sale right now for $39.50, a nice little discount from its regular $46 price tag. So, that’s four summer grooming essentials for under $40. If I were you, I’d seriously consider hopping on this deal ASAP. Consider it but one addition to your grooming rotation — or rather, four very effective additions to your grooming rotation. Your summer just got a whole lot more cooling and refreshing, and I really do mean that.

See Now, Buy Now: Duke Cannon’s Classic Man Grooming Kit Is Packed with Grooming Essentials

Here’s the thing with a new season, like the season we’re currently in. As far as spring essentials are concerned, you’ve got to keep your grooming on point with a rotation of the best men’s grooming picks, right? Yes, that’s right. Enter Duke Cannon, a finely crafted, useful-as-heck men’s grooming brand here to save the day with the Duke Cannon Classic Man Grooming Kit. Now, you assuredly know Duke Cannon from the blog here, what with the rugged essentials packed in the Duke Cannon Supply Drop and the refined utility of the Duke Cannon Solid Cologne, ehh? If not, consider the Duke Cannon Classic Man Grooming Kit the perfect introduction to the brand. It’s packed with men’s grooming essentials for pretty much anyone and everyone, and it clocks in at an agreeable price, too ($49 at Duke Cannon). When you consider the products you’re getting in this men’s grooming bundle, it might feel like a downright steal.

Duke Cannon does more than just offer competitive pricing, though. From the masculine and crisp scents to plentiful product variety (think classic colognes, hard-working face moisturizer and oversized soap bars), it’s all worth checking out. Perhaps most importantly, Minnesota-based Duke Cannon works with veterans support organizations, donating proceeds and products along the way. I’d say you really can’t go wrong when you shop the brand. But back to the Duke Cannon Classic Man Grooming Kit.

Duke Cannon Solid Cologne

Just one favorite from the Duke Cannon Classic Man Grooming Kit. Make it yours today, will ya?

It’s the kind of kit packed with nothing but the best grooming essentials for men, the sort of picks you’ll find yourself using on the daily. That’s the way the brand would want it, seeing as it runs the gamut of Duke Cannon best sellers. You’re getting four must-haves, from the Sandalwood and Amber Anti-Perspirant and Deodorant to the brand’s famed Bourbon Solid Cologne and two Big Ass Bricks of Soap: In Leaf & Leather and Bourbon scents. It’s enough to jumpstart your grooming routine in a big way. Seriously, I’m a huge fan of the Bourbon Solid Cologne on its own (and the brand’s soaps and deodorant!), but throw all four of these products together — and then knock $6 off the regular price — and you’ve got yourself a winning set of the best men’s grooming products for spring and well beyond. How about it, folks? If I wanted a grooming refresh in a hurry, a way to shake up my routine for an affordable price and with quality products, I’d add the Duke Cannon Classic Man Grooming Kit to my shopping cart in a hurry.

The Friday Read: Vancouver, Arkells & Hawthorne Grooming

The perfect gear essentials for any situation — all from Bradley Mountain and Bespoke Post.

It’s the first winter weekend of February — to me, that means it’s time for you to enjoy another Friday Read and also, perhaps, time for you to shop some new men’s style essentials from the good folks at Bradley Mountain. As seen above (and as sold by Bespoke Post), Bradley Mountain stocks exceedingly stylish and well-crafted leather goods, particularly fitting for winter travel. Speaking of winter travel, well, that’s the theme for yours truly this weekend — I’ll be heading to the great Western city of Vancouver for quite the exciting trip tonight. It’s a particularly special adventure, as I’m hitting the road to see Canadian mega-stars Arkells play a sold-out Pacific Coliseum on the “Rally Cry” Tour! They’ve become one of my favorite bands over the years (including three packed NYC shows at small clubs) — what’s more, they’ve got quite the support act in Lord Huron! But mainly, Arkells epitomize passion and work ethic with their uplifting blend of rock and power pop.

In fact, last year’s “Rally Cry” album was a huge favorite. To see a band play to about 300 people in Brooklyn — and then to be able to watch that same band sell out a 17,000-seat arena in its home country — is pretty special, to say the least! Aside from the show, what should I do in Vancouver? Let me know of any must-visit spots on Twitter. And to follow along with my trip, head to my Instagram. For now, I’ve got some writing to wrap up before I hit the road — start your weekend with the right way with a new edition of the Friday Read, and be sure to enjoy tomorrow’s Style Pick of the Week. Cheers!

  • Recently, I had the chance to get acquainted with a new brand that stocks custom men’s grooming essentials aplenty — that brand would be Hawthorne, based right here in NYC. They make customized cologne, body wash & soap using a grooming algorithm and quiz that’s pretty neat — and the process yields some quality results. You can read the full men’s grooming review over at The Manual!


Alright, before we go … I’ll leave you with a few more crucial menswear reads and shopping suggestions. Namely, upgrade your crewneck sweatshirt with this classic crewneck from Todd Snyder x Champion. You really won’t regret it. Or, you can scratch that itch when it comes to the best new menswear for winter, via a recent entry in our shopping series The List. OK, ready for the weekend? Same here! Thanks so much for reading.

Editor’s note: Thank you to all who participated! And congrats to the winner, Christopher C. Thanks, as always, for reading.

Now that winter’s fully upon us (if it happens to be warm where you are, lucky you!), hopefully you’ve got all the great winter gear you need — from a  warm topcoat to a stylish peacoat and tough winter boots. But with the ever-advancing chill comes the need to turn to another area of the men’s lifestyle department here at The Style Guide — grooming. If you’re among the bearded set out there, it’s crucial to take care of your beard in the winter — it’s one of those little style details that can go further than you think. After all, no one wants to look like a cast member in The Revenant. And it’s with that thought in mind (seriously, groom your beard!) that today’s reader giveaway opportunity comes up. Doc Elliott Grooming, based out of Austin, Texas, certainly has you covered in that regard.

I first stumbled across the brand thanks to a timely 2014 Christmas gift from Santa, and I’ve been a fan of the brand’s Pure Pomade ever since. Their focus is equal parts rugged, refined and vintage-inspired (hence the tagline, “Honor Your MANcestors”), and they like to focus on heritage, authenticity and quality ingredients — that goes for their products across the board.

Its beard care game is equally on-point, and that’s what we’re giving you the chance to enter to win today, my friends. One lucky winner will get the Beard Care combo pack (that’s the brand’s Beard Balm and Serum), plus the brand’s Edge Wax and a fun graphic tee. That entire combo will have your grooming game upgraded in no time, trust me.

To win — simply follow the instructions in this link. (Editor’s note: Contest runs until 12 a.m., January 21, 2016).

Stay warm out there and stay stylish!
