From Shaving to Writing
Before moving into writing, I spent over two decades as The Shavedoctor — running a world-renowned professional shaving school, teaching barbers across the globe how to shave with an open blade razor. In that time, I had thousands of men sit in my shave chair — not just for the pamper of a hot towel wet shave, but for a chat, a laugh, a cry and a space to share life’s stories. Those moments — listening, laughing, understanding what makes men tick — have shaped this blog as much as my own life has.

What I Share Is What Most Men Are Afraid To Ask.
At Midlife Men and Living with Menopause, I am dedicated to providing insightful and humorous content that resonates with real-life experiences. Men Living with the Menopause is a tribute to the strength and humour that hold couples together through life’s transformations.
"A refreshingly honest and humorous take on the challenges of midlife and relationships."
