Bonjour Princes Bleus. I’m just back from a whirlwind week back and forth to France. I was on two assignments for Robb Report, one with Remy Martin and the private-label parfum house (Maison Psyché) inspired by the maison.

I also took a separate one-day trip with Creed, to celebrate the 15-year legacy of Aventus alongside the seventh-gen perfumer Erwin Creed and pretty much every top influencer in the space.

I’ll let this collage summarize the experience of both trips (I felt like I was on The Traitors all week…) and my eventual Robb Report articles will spotlight both brands.

Let’s dive into this week’s tidbits. But before I do…

The Best Electric Razors — Foil and Rotary Picks

I’ve been fresh faced the past few weeks, because we’ve been filming and writing our best electric razors package on Blue Print, which includes a YouTube video outlining my top picks.

These two articles also have my picks on them, in the respective “foil” and “rotary” categories. I gave three awards in each:

• Best Overall (in both instances, this is also the Best Tech pick)

• Best Value (not necessarily best budget pick)

• Best Travel / Best Compact

Foil Shavers vs. Rotary Shavers: What’s the Difference, and Which is Right for You?

On Instagram and TikTok, we’ve got these carousels that explain how to go about choosing the best electric razor for yourself, by starting with the differences between foil and rotary models.

I’ve got a “step down” strategy in there too—a money-saving tip for the practical shoppers among us.

One of the devices I spotlight in these articles and video is the new Philips Norelco i9000 Prestige Ultra rotary shaver, for which I also did a mini review on YouTube:

Lastly, I chose one device as the best overall electric shaver for men, and gave it one of our Blue Ribbon awards (bestowed upon the best grooming products of all time). If you don’t mind the spoilers, I’ll leave this link here with the top pick overall.

Chat you next week, Blue Princes. We’re actively working on our hair stylers guides for the site, plus some hair transplant + sponsored content, summer fragrance roundups, and a Vitamin C overview (with a cosmetic chemist-focused buyer’s guide for that very finicky ingredient). All coming in the next month ish, so watch this space.
