Enough with the scruff? Braun LFW SS18

· This weekend, London’s fashion scene staged their biannual takeover of Zone 1 for the SS18 shows · Those in the know are saying goodbye to their winter beards for the warmer months
· The new Braun Series 3 ProSkin is the perfect tool for men with skin not used to a clean-shave

 Themes of androgyny, ‘anything goes’ and the seemingly inescapable allure of 70s style dominated the fashion catwalks this week. Meanwhile, the streets outside the shows were lined with some of the best-dressed men from around the world, arguably just as influential as the headline designers themselves, with their style and grooming choices also impacting trends and sales globally.
 The result? Men up and down the country are becoming ever more experimental with their looks, and expressing their style beyond their clothing choices, with facial hair grooming becoming one of the key ways in which they show their colours.
 In January, Braun reported that the most popular style sported by Fashion Week attendees was stylised stubble, with groomed goatees emerging as another firm favourite.

 For SS though, we are witnessing a return to a youthful and fresh look, with a clean shave dominating both inside and outside the shows.
For SS, men seem to be saying goodbye to their winter beards for the warmer months – a smart choice, and one which will doubtless help many to avoid the dreaded “beard reverse-tan”. But how should you go about sheering away months of growth without wreaking havoc on the skin below?
 The key is to starting with a good trimmer, such as the new Braun Beard Trimmer, which has detachable smart-clippers, making it the perfect tool for trimming facial hair. Bit-by-bit is best – start with the longest guard first, and work your way down to the shortest, before going in with your shaver. Skin that has been covered with facial hair may be much more prone to shaving-related irritation, so for the full clean shave, you will need a shaver that is designed for men with sensitive skin.
The new Braun Series 3 ProSkin shaver has advanced MicroComb technology, a comb-like structure that guides the beard hairs into the cutting element of the trimmer and reduces overall shaving time and thus skin irritation by cutting short and long hairs simultaneously.
 What’s more, the shaver’s SensoFoils adapt to every facial contour to offer a comfortable shave that is faster than ever before.
 Once the job is done, use a gentle facial scrub to remove the dead skin cells that the beard was holding on to, and a light moisturiser with SPF to protect the skin that has been shielded from the light of day for months!
 The new Braun Series 3 ProSkin is available at  Amazon and other retailers from RRP £39.99 (price at the sole discretion of the retailer).

BRAUN ANNOUNCES JAMIE REDKNAPP AS IT’S FATHER’S DAY CAMPAIGN AMBASSADOR…

Which asks children: ‘How do you show how much your dad means to you?’ 

 Jamie Redknapp has been announced as the ambassador for the Braun Father’s Day campaign, as the brand releases a study revealing a need for British youngsters to show dads the love.
 A brand new study, commissioned by grooming brand Braun, shows that despite almost half (46 percent) of the nation’s youngsters’ claiming they have “the perfect dad”, British fathers are losing out in the affection stakes when it comes to mums, with 81 percent of youngsters admitting they kiss mum more.

Jamie Redknapp, son to Harry Redknapp and father himself to Charley (11) and Beau (7) said, “Being a son and a dad, it’s important to me to celebrate the special and close relationship between fathers and children. It shouldn’t just be limited to Father’s Day to show how much we care, but we should make sure we show it every day.”

Braun launches #BeardLookBook‏

2015 looks set to be a big year for the beard and to celebrate, male grooming brand Braun and its style scouts have compiled an extensive #BeardLookBook on Pinterest featuring the hottest and most authentic facial hair from across the globe.

A well-groomed beard can highlight your best features and hide your worst. Indeed, choosing the right beard style is as important for your appearance and style identity as the clothes you wear.


Braun’s Styling Ambassador, Fabio Vivan, says

“No matter what’s trending this year, go for something that really represents YOU.”

Similar to choosing a haircut, a beard has to complement the shape of your face and factors like the thickness and texture of your facial hair all come in to play. Thankfully Braun and Mohawk Matt, Founder & Chief Barber at Bolt Barbers, have some tips on how to choose the look that will suit you best.

Oblong Face:
Styles like “Mutton Chops”, “A La Suvorov”, “Dali”, or even “Friendly Mutton Chops” work to balance your oblong-ness into an attractive and attracting attraction.

Rectangle Face
 We highly recommend the “Chin Curtain”, “Short But Boxed beard”, “Ducktail”, or “The French Fork” for dudes cursed with right angles.

 Round Face: 
Focus your facial frontier on your chin, with styles like “Chin Puff”, “Sir Walter Raleigh”, “Balboa”, “Sparrow”, “Goatee”, “The Zappa”, or “Soul Patch”

Oval Face: 
This is the best face shape to have, because it can literally host ANY beard style. Take your pick. Change it up often. Try the “Long John” or the #lumbersexual look.

Square Face:
Try “Petit Goatee”, “Anchor”, or even the “Hollywoodian”. Avoid full beards.

Diamond Face 
Anything from “Rap Industry Standard” to “Chin Curtain” to “Anchor” will work as will extended 'stache styles like “Fu Manchu” “The Winnfield.”

 Inverted Triangle:
 “Mutton Chops”, a “Fu Manchu”, or even “Franz-Josef” would be a totally engaging look and a real head turner.

Triangle Face 
A “Goatee”, “”Anchor”, or even “”Sir Walter Raleigh” is perfect to grace your isosceles triangle.

At the Braun + E. Tautz‏ Evening Event

As the main sponsor of the E. Tautz AW15 show, Braun also hosted an evening event at E. Tautz Duke Street store providing champagne and an opportunity for a closer look at the new collection.

Braun & E. Tautz partnership was centred on the Male Power Grooming products available from Braun and builds on the brand’s growing reputation as the premium brand for facial hair styling. Braun’s renowned combination of design and functionality fits perfectly with the character of Patrick Grant’s latest E. Tautz collection, which captures the essence of working life in the North of England as portrayed by the likes of Douglas Dunn and L. S. Lowry.

Patrick Grant, Savile Row designer of E. Tautz was on hand to explain the inspiration and style of his collection:
 ‘The Tautz AW15 collection was inspired by ‘Terry Street’, a ground-breaking 1967 series of poems by Douglas Dunn. Terry Street in Hull in the 1960’s, studying as a mature student and working under Larkin and the collection chronicles the comings and goings of the ordinary people of this tough northern town. Braun’s heritage of design and functionality for the everyday man complement the ethos of this year’s collection so I am delighted that they are sponsoring my show again.’

Patrick Grant

Yours Truly

The partnership saw prominent branding throughout the backstage area of the show and all models were immaculately groomed by Braun’s UK Creative Director, Fabio Vivan, using a selection of Braun’s latest power shavers and facial hair styling tools. To see Fabio at work on the models backstage and his s tips on how to shave plus a glimpse ofo the actual show, check out the below video.

The focal point of Braun’s sponsorship of this year’s E. Tautz show was the Braun cruZer5 clean shave, designed with a powerful triple action float system, making it the perfect choice for getting rid of unwanted facial hair at the touch of a button. The product also comes fitted with an integrated precision trimmer to create precise contours or add some sharp edges to help define your style, head-to-toe.

Closer inspection of the collection:

Check Mate!

Inspired by the North of England in the 1960s and the poem Terry Street by Douglas Dunn, the colour palette is of gritty greys beautifully portrayed by the speckled textures.

Keeping out the bitter cold are chunky knits in shades of grey and optimistic pine green - maybe representing the grass absent in the 60s northern streets.

Braun reveals Four New Grooming Typologies - Which one are you?

A study released by Braun has identified four new grooming ‘typologies’. Each typology, revealed by panel of grooming and male lifestyle experts, has been visually captured by photographer and legendary supermodel, Helena Christensen.
The expert panel included grooming writer, Lee Kynaston, lifestyle consultant, Mark Tungate, author of Branded Male, Brendan Murdock, owner of Murdocks barbers, and Andy Penniceard, founder of Privet grooming centre.

The four typologies have been revealed as:

Mr Mandrogynous 

Mr Mandrogynous: A slap in the face to old-school stereotypes of red-blooded heterosexual males, daily gym sessions keep him looking good as his idols Cristiano Ronaldo and Dan Osborne
Grooming Ritual: Buffed and supremely preened, he unselfconsciously practices Manscaping and indulges in regular spray tans. Aspiring to a hairless aesthetic, he’s likely to use the Braun WaterFlex shaver as the perfect wet-and-dry gym bag essential

Link to Braun Waterflex

Celebrity Examples: Channing Tatum, Taylor Lautner, Cristiano Ronaldo

 Mainstream Moustache

 Mainstream Moustache: a hipster - he reached peak beard months ago. Inspired by Movember he’s taken on the reinvention of the moustache as a personal project
Grooming Ritual:;Whatever it is, it isn’t what everyone else is doing. To cultivate his own personal style he uses a dual-purpose electric shaver like the Braun Series 3 that offers a clean shave every other day or so, and attachments to keep his ’tache in shape once a month

Link to Braun Series 3-340

Link to Braun Series 3 380

Celebrity Examples: James Franco, Ryan Gosling, Shia LaBeouf

 Metro-Dude

 Metro-Dude: Re-inventing geek-chic, he’s the technophile driving the UK’s digital revolution - most likely to be found talking algorithms and app building
Grooming Ritual: Up on the latest gadgetry but with the nous to get value for money, Mark Zuckerberg’s hoodie and jeans are just the memory of a nightmare, while the Braun CoolTec shaver keeps him at the tech forefront of the shaving revolution

Link to Braun Cooltec White

Link to Braun CT4 Cooltec

 Celebrity Examples: Benedict Cumberbatch, Matt Smith, David TennantBraun C

 The Remantic

 The Remantic: The re-born romantic, he’s suave, sophisticated and high-powered. This guy sets trends in the city on a wage that is finally enough to live the lifestyle he’s always aspired to. Fancy cars? Bespoke suits? You name it, of course he has it!
Grooming Ritual:There’s no work-out too tough, and no regime too expensive. This guy will go to any lengths to prove he’s the best. Demanding the best, he uses a state of the art shaver, such as the Braun Series 7 to give him the cleanest of shaves

Celebrity Examples:George Clooney, Jose Mourinho, Pierce Brosnan

Shave Wet or Dry? With Braun WaterFlex there is no Question!

There is no question because Braun Waterflex allows you to shave wet or dry - dilemma solved!!

Braun Waterflex shaver combines the best of both worlds: it can be used with water, foam or gel and you can shave in the shower, in the bathtub or just on a wet face in front of the mirror.
 It is 100% waterproof and can be rinsed under running water for easy cleaning.

Key Features include:

ContourAdaptive Swivel Head :Turn heads with a smooth shave courtesy of WaterFlex's swivel head:The 33 degrees pivoting shaver head adapts to every contour of the face and so reduces friction and catches every hair on every contour to give a close shave even in problem areas.

OptiBlade – with ergonomically placed hexagon holes, the  OptiBlade is the most advance foil from Braun and its unique shape allows it to capture more hair  and cut beard hairs closer.

And if you chose to shave in the shower, the shaver has a non slip grip

Stay Cool, Calm & Collected with Braun’s CoolTec Shaver

Braun's CoolTec shaver is especially suited for sensitive skin

Stay Cool:

 Braun’s CoolTec is the world’s first electric  shaver equipped with the pioneering  Thermo-Electric-Cooling technology (TEC).  An aluminium cooling bar is integrated in between two shaving foils  and prevents the shaver head from building up heat like most other ‘hot headed’ shavers. Press the button with the snowflake symbol  to  activate and direct heat away from the skin. 

 Result: A cool, pleasant  and refreshing shave.  

Stay Calm: 

The cooling technology soothes and calms the skin minimising shaving irritations.

Specially designed, the SensoFoil captures and cuts hairs growing in different directions. This lessens friction against the skin and combats the sympton of tension and redness.

Plus the shaver’s alcohol-based self cleaning system lubricates with each cleaning which aids a smoother calmer shave.

Stay Collected : 

The 3 stage cutting system has two independently moving cutting elements which automatically adapt to your personal facial contour resulting in a closer shave.
