Kanye West VS Sam Smith

If you are a fan of Kanye and Sam Smith, this is one of the best mashups ever by Carlos Serrano. This is easily one of my favorite remixes. An astounding mixes that actually sound so smooth together. Carlos Serrano does what he does best with his new mashup of Kanye West's Graduation classic, "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and Sam Smith's recent hit, "I'm Not The Only One." Press play for a truly melancholic experience.

Tip: If you have lighter hair color, it will always look 1 to 2 numbers shorter than it really is.

Linen Sundayz

If you have never tried wearing linen on a hot day, start doing it. I kid you not, you will fall in love with linen. It's so comfortable, it feels like strolling in pajamas :D. Linen has a reputation for its exceptional coolness and freshness in hot weather. Be aware when choosing linen at the tailors, not all linen feels the same. Keep in mind that the better the linen is, the softer it is. The downside of linen is that it creases easily, pain in the ass to iron, and it shrinks a little after its first wash.

I am fortunate enough to be illustrated by these two artists. Take a few minutes to check them out, and get inspired. It's worth the while.

Thank you for your awesome illustrations!

Barber

I love Amoy for its vibrancy and variety of food. This is my go-to place for my noodles and tea fix.

Part of a new wave of traditional barbers in the city, Joel, a Malaysian who grew up in California, has made a new home of Singapore after deciding to join his best friend here.

We photographed him sipping his afternoon tea in style at the Amoy Street Food Centre. His handlebar moustache, dapper style and minimalistic approach to accessories were a showstopper for the hawkers of the stalls he has become quite a hit with.

Movember

Had a humble opportunity to kick start Movember in Singapore by shaving Fandi Ahmad, Singapore's football legend. 

What is Movember?

Movember is an annual event that happens in the month of November. During this month, The Movember Foundation encourages men to grow mustaches to spark conversations to create awareness and to raise funds for men's health programs. 

For more information on how you can support The Movember Foundation, visit Movember.com 

Keep that Mustache!

Daimon Barber

The Daimon Barber hair pomade. 

A pomade soft and light enough to add shine and to tame down that frizzy hair. It claims to "hold like hell" but apparently not. It does not have a firm hold and the consistency of the texture is really soft. 

Smells like heaven? Not really, in my opinion. 

However, after using it for weeks, I found this product works well for hair that is super frizzy. Just a touch of it goes a long way. It gives a light hold, softens it like cushion and It molds nicely. It's really light and really easy to wash off. If you are looking for a light pomade with some shine to tame down your frizzy hair, this might just be the right product. It might just be a little pricey at $36 in Singapore. Give it a try, you be the judge. :) 

Stay Handsome!

Texture Play

I do corporate haircuts all day and it gets mundane. What I did to my friend William here, is something more creative but still keeping the look professional. Minimal fade, taking it diagonally instead of horizontal just around the temple area, a lot of texture on the top but still keeping a good amount of weight. Keeping some weight helps the hair looks fuller and gives it a better the shape when product is applied. Often when the hair is over textured/thinned out, it looks too flimsy and shapeless when product is applied.

Stay Handsome!

Nothing beats a white V-neck. I choose Hanes as they are soft and crisp. Just right for Singapore's perennial summer. One of my recent get-ups on off duty days are these comfy tees paired with tailored chinos, keeping the look simple and clean. Don't keep your whiteys in the closet, bring them out to play! You'd be surprised at the number of pairings you can do with them.

New Balance 410 on my feet. Do I need to say more? Picked this pair of bad boys over at Leftfoot for only $60 bucks. It's easily one of my favorite pair of sneakers for my daily outfits. What is there not to love about it? :D
