Welcome to another edition of FOR HIM AND THEN YOU

Welcome to another edition of FOR HIM AND THEN YOU STEAL IT!  This is a really, really good one.

I fell in love with the packaging of this Fulton Apothecary Hand Lotion (Fine Handcare for Gentlemen) before I knew anything about it, but when I dug in OMG was it cult product magic. Literally!

                 

Ok, so Dan & Dave (who make the product) are MAGICIANS.  Serious ones - check out their beautiful website where you can buy all sorts of trickery. If you’re a magician, what are people looking at the entire time?  Your assistant’s boobs. YOUR HANDS.

In their own words:

Hands are an integral part of our craft. Under constant scrutiny, we set out to develop a lotion tailored to our specific needs: Quick absorbing, long lasting moisture that wouldn’t interfere when handling apparatus.

                 

            (That’s my husband in the corner, handling this apparatus)

I think most guys want nice hands, but can’t stand greasy, overly-scented stuff. And actually, neither can I. This lotion, which is handmade in L.A., is full of jojoba, shea butter and antioxidant pure coffee oil (which does smell like coffee, but in a crisp and quickly-dispersing way).  It feels very enriching, but absorbs quickly to a matte finish.

The limited edition, hand-signed packaging is stunning - the steel pump is something you’d save for another product, it’s that level of quality. If you’re looking for an impressive guy gift just … make this appear ; )
