Duke Cannon | New Men's Line
Duke Cannon is a military-inspired men's grooming brand that's equal parts fun to use and good quality.
Rather than being a one-dimensional novelty brand, Duke Cannon actually supports its source of inspiration. Every year the brand donates 5% of its net profits to causes (typically one for each quarter of the year) that benefit veterans and active-duty military. In the past, Duke Cannon has donated to K9s for Warriors, Honor Flight, and Fisher House. On top of its yearly donations, the brand provides grooming products to smaller military-based organizations when their budget permits.
While some might find the branding to be clever and catchy, others might find it to be off-putting — and that's ok. Duke Cannons firmly backs the quality of its products, so we decided to put them to the test. We concluded they work well, no matter how we felt about the branding.
Modeled after the brick-style soap bars GIs used during the Korean War, the Big Ass Brick of Soap is a whopping 10 ounces, which is about three times the size of an average soap bar.
“As you might expect, the menthol-based Cooling After-Shave Balm will jolt you awake after a hot shave. There’s aloe and shea butter in the formula, so overall, the balm is cooling and moisturizing and the scent isn’t overpowering.”
“It has a unique blood-orange and mint flavor, which is a lot more pleasant compared to your average medicated lip balm that’s packed with menthol. The $9 price tag might seem like a lot of money for a lip balm, but you have to remember that it’s four times bigger than the lip balms you’d grab at a convenience store or pharmacy. If you can manage to not lose it as most people do with lip balms, you’ll be in good shape. ”
