MANMADE: The Essential Skincare & Grooming Reference for Every Man

The book has a lot more information on taking care of your face and body than I expected. It is essentially a how-to guide on everything relating to facial and body care and it’s made me more conscious of taking care of myself as whole. There is a section for every type of man which is good because you may want to look super polished one day but more casual another day. Beyond the regular grooming, the book also gives some tips on how to stay energized and motivated with some cool motivational interviews mixed in. I especially liked the “life hacks” which give you some useful tricks when you’re traveling or just need to look your best in a hurry.

The strength of MANMADE is how easy and accessible the book is in approach to its grooming content and presentation design. It’s a beautiful volume. But more important is how it frames grooming as an essential component of modern living for men. Not simply a ‘guide book of tips,’ MANMADE considers a number of lifestyles men lead or roles men take on and matches simple grooming regimens that make the individual feeling and looking their best. This is supplemented by interviews of men who embody such roles and lifestyles, providing personal insight into the author’s thesis: that grooming is the nexus of personal health, style, and identity. And Chris Salgardo’s MANMADE is a compelling argument for such a worldview.

Nice quality, Good gift for a guy who It's starting to appreciate taking care of his skin.

I was honestly hoping for more from this book - I have a lot of respect for the brand and by association, it’s CEO - perhaps this is meant to be something of an introductory text to the basics?

This book is awesome.
