Hey Blue Princes, I wanted to share the latest episode of SPIFFY, our new men’s grooming podcast.

I’m joined by my pal Brennan Kilbane, the News and features Editor for Beauty at The Business of Fashion. We chat about the lack of a dedicated men’s grooming space; why isn’t there a “Sephora for men” and what would one look like in today’s retail landscape?

Listen on: Apple // Spotify

Thank you to this episode’s sponsor, Philips Norelco (and their OneBlade 360 Pro Face + Body).

I hope you’ll give it a listen, and subscribe to the show + rate us 5 stars in your podcast player too.

I asked my newsletter’s AI generator to imaging a few stories that help preview the episode too, and here is what they came up with.

Really powerful visuals!

Men’s grooming is going to be a $100 billion industry by 2034… I guess I just think something like that merits an interactive, try-before-you-buy type space, with everything from treatments to neckline cleanups to a fragrance counter or electronic device showcase.

Have a listen. Oh, and this episode’s product “product of the ep”… click to find out (if you haven’t already listened to the show). They’ll help you start 2026 on the right (fresh + smooth) feet.

Maybe you’d like to see the 6-month update on my friend Matt’s hair transplant progress? (He is looking so good, and so early in the regrowth stage too.)

We’ve also got some beard trimmer picks up on YouTube from Blind Barber’s own Eric Becker:

We’ll have his shaver picks up later today or this weekend, too. One thing at a time! For now, I have to ready the interviews for episode 4 of SPIFFY… stay tuned!

Happy holidays, guys. More men’s grooming coverage to come in 2026; we’ve only just begun.
