Over 10 years ago, brothers Max and Neil Glazer launched a successful Web Site called PilotMall.com. Hailed as an aviation superstore, PilotMall.com sells thousands of products for professional and amateur pilots. Leveraging their dot-com expertise, the Glazer brothers decided to launch MensDirect.com in March. Offering free shipping on all ground orders, MensDirect.com sells a wide array of grooming products such as Billy Jealousy, Hommage, Anthony, Sharps, Jack Black, Menscience, Urth and Lucky Tiger. MensDirect.com offers live support Mon-Fri and offers the same great service as PilotMall.com
I had the fortune of visiting the brothers’ operation in St Petersburg, Florida, back in February. Located next to historic Albert Whitted Airport, PilotMall.com buzzes smoothly as the business fill hundreds of orders daily. The brothers make a great team: brainy, behind-the-scenes Neil does all the backend Web Site work while outgoing Max is the sales and marketing arm of the business. Congratulations to Max and Neil on their successful launch!

Talented LA-based filmmaker and photographer Matt Ruggieri has launched a new grooming Site called TheMotley.com. Matt wanted to share with his customers quality grooming products that were superior to drugstore brands but shied away from the $100 eye creams and $150 anti-aging serums. Matt has tried so many products over the years that he has expertly pieced together “kits” featuring several products that will maximize your grooming results. Brands included on his Site are Billy Jealousy, Cremo, Propoline and Philip B.

Vain Glorious Billy Jealousy’s Whipped Cream Shave Lather
Monday, November 30th, 2009The New York Times Blog, The Moment, shines light onto our latest addition: Whipped Cream Traditional Shave Lather.
Vain Glorious | Billy Jealousy’s Whipped Cream Shave Lather By KATIE CHANG
Who: Billy Jealousy, a men’s cosmeceutical grooming line.
What: Whipped Cream Shave Lather
Why bother: Some men appreciate the shaving process as much as the end result, so Pat Parsi (the man behind Billy Jealousy) decided to whip up an alternative to his company’s wildly popular Hydroplane shave gel. The resulting Whipped Cream Shave Lather is for the kind of guy who prefers a traditional brush-and-lather approach. “He doesn’t see shaving as an odious task but an enjoyable ritual, almost ceremonial in some way,” Parsi says. His latest lather uses lavender and bergamot to calm the mind and skin, while glycerin and wheat germ extract hydrate and enable superior razor glide. The generously sized tub begs you to swirl in your badger brush, or scoop out a dollop with your fingers. Whipped Cream is also colorant- and paraben-free.
How much: An eight-ounce tub is $22.
Where: New London Pharmacy (246 Eighth Avenue; 212-243-4987; newlondonpharmacy.com). For more stores and e-commerce, go to billyjealousy.com.
Hydroplane – “is so good, it’s ridiculous.”
Thursday, October 15th, 2009The New York Times blog covers Miomia, a unisex beauty and grooming shop by Katie Chang, in south Williamsburg, NYC.
Chang sells more shaving cream than any other type of product and gives the blue ribbon to Hydroplane by Billy Jealousy ($20), which she says “is so good, it’s ridiculous.”
Katie Chang’s product-packed shop in south Williamsburg may be a mere 425 square feet, but it boasts almost 50 lines. If it’s a mega-brand you’re after, however, this isn’t the place for you. Chang is loyal to independently owned companies and cult skin-care and makeup lines you won’t find anywhere else in Brooklyn — or, in some cases, anywhere in the five boroughs. And unlike a lot of beauty shops, Miomia caters to as many men as women. Chang, who did her dissertation on men’s grooming (seriously), stocks unisex and guy-centric fragrances and skin-care products.
