The secret
behind the look of a Gentleman
What is the secret behind the look of a Gentleman? It is a complicated question, and we imagine that if you ask for instance Daniel Craig, Barack Obama, George Clooney, or Gordon Ramsay you will get quite different answers. On Gents, we are convinced that a big part of The Secret, is the look healthy and well-groomed. With that in mind, here are some things to think about. View this as a checklist, please.
#1
DEFINITION
Define your beard and mustache, with sharp lines. In that way, you give an impression that you care, and therefore other people will do that as well. A safety razor gives the best result- with only one sharp razor-blade shaving close to your skin, the result is much better than using a modern multi-blade razor. A shavette or straight razor is an alternative to the safety razor and works much better when defining your lines. On the other hand, it requires some training, before having the best possible result. If you want to re-assure that your beard lines are going to be the same every time, we recommend that you use a practical shave shaper. Place it as you want it, press it against your skin, and shave with your razor och shavette, using the edges of the shaper, and outwards from your face. Don't forget to finish with an after shave.

details
Nice and clean nails are another good tip. Do you also think that most men don't care about their nails? Most men don't, but women do care. Caring about things women care about, are easy points from women because most men overlook these things. We don't say that you have to use nail polish, as a punk boy, but now and then taking care of your nails, giving them a quick manicure, can impress the ladies. It doesn't take a long time to cut your nails. An doesn't it feel luxurious having your own little, masculine manicure-set?
#3
Luster
Looking good, go together with feeling well. Keith Richards maybe wasn't the best role model for this, when he partied the hardest, but we normal people usually see a parallel between our health and our empowerment. Being tired and worn down, is often noticed in the skin and around the eyes, therefore skin cream that gives back your glam is a winning concept. Take a moment to figure out what skin type you are: is it dry and aged, a heavier cream, with an anti-age effect is wonderful for your skin. Having younger and more oily skin requires a lighter skin cream. Before cleaning your skin at night, with a facial cleanser, remove dead skin cells twice a week with peeling. Finish with a caring facial moisturizer.

Glance
What about the eyes? Well first of all the first impression of the eyes comes from the skin around. Sleep much, exercise moderately, and eat well, are of course the best tips we can give to you. On the other hand, a caring facial moisturizer is an alternative for the man who can't stop partying like Kieth in the 70s. Having aged skin in the eye area, an anti-age eye cream is wonderful, with its tightening effect. Buy products of quality, for instance from Dermatologica, only having to use a few drops of the product. Gents highly recommend purchasing a cream with a self-tanning effekt, it will help you on the way.
#5
look
The right beard for the right man. When choosing their haircut, most men get help from their hairdresser, their friends, or maybe even a partner. On the other hand, when choosing their beard shape men are usually on their own. Therefore we recommend you to visit a barbershop or take a look at our beard- and mustacheguides. Take a second to think about which face shape you have, and what side of your personality you want to show- a beard can change a look more than you think. And if your beard stubbornly doesn't grow your wished amount- you can get help with that as well.
But the real secret behind the look of a Gentleman is his confidence. Maybe it sounds like a weird tip. How easy is it to just be more confident? A real Gentleman's confidence is often controlled by the view on yourself and how you imagine how others imagine you. But to get the look of a Gentleman, you have to be confident in your masculinity.
