Trendy Butler

While it may take a couple of boxes for Trendy Butler's stylists and A.I. sidekick to nail down your fashion sense, I'm impressed with the quality, value for money, and selection of clothing in my first box, and I’m excited to see what the second will bring.

Rocky Mountain Barber Company

Minor personal gripes aside, I was highly impressed with the quality of ingredients and utility of Rocky Mountain Barber Company's shaving cream and pomade products, as well as the excellent value for money they offer at the sub $20 price point for both categories.
