<p>Believe me, I am all about an unkept, scruffy man, but sometimes a clean shaven guy is the perfect accessory to his tailored look. Right guys? That&#8217;s where <a href="http://www.anthony.com" target="_blank">Anthony For Men</a> comes into the picture with their <a href="http://www.anthony.com/store/product/razor-burn-repair/" target="_blank">Razor Burn Repair</a> lotion.</p>
<p>Now this company does more than just shave products&#8211;they produce a plethora of specialized skincare and bath and body products doctored specially for men. And the added bonus of purchasing this and any of their products? A percentage of the proceeds is donated to non-profit and charitable organizations that increase awareness and push for a cure to prostate cancer. Each Anthony for Men item has the distinctive blue ribbon to show their support for this extremely worthwhile cause. To see more information on their philanthropy, go <a href="http://www.anthony.com/about-us/philanthropy/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Now to the perks of Razor Burn Repair: you&#8217;ll be able to reduce the irritation caused by shaving and soothe your skin while nixing redness and stinging&#8230;all in one application. The addition of ginseng and Vitamins A, C, and E truly protects your skin and leaves it more than ready for the day ahead (without leaving any unwanted residue). With the cold starting to set in, this item ($24) will also be a perfect go-to when taking the shave to your wintry skin. Don&#8217;t forget to pair it up with any other of their products to combat all of your manly skin needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_35" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-35" title="dicaprio_tagheuer1" src="http://makeluxurycount.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dicaprio_tagheuer1.jpg?w=300" alt="Royalties go toward DiCaprios favorite environmental charities" width="300" height="207" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Royalties go toward DiCaprio&#39;s favorite environmental charities</p></div>
<p>Replacing Brad Pitt as celebrity ambassador for luxury Swiss watchmaker <a href="http://www.tagheuer.com" target="_blank">Tag Heuer</a>,  Leonardo DiCaprio promotes more than timeless timepieces.</p>
<p>His valuable visage will be used to promote a cause long important to the actor &#8211; environmentalism.  Royalties resulting from his deal with Tag will benefit Green Cross International and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Both charities will also be tagged in the ads, creating much-needed publicity and awareness of the organizations.</p>
<p>The actor is quoted on tagheuer.com:  “ TAG Heuer and I will be making donations to NRDC and Green Cross International, two of the most influential and effective environmental organizations around” says DiCaprio. “Each and every day, these organizations are doing important work to ensure our planet’s resources for future generations.  Hopefully, our donations will help expand their reach and raise their profile.&#8221;</p>
<p>The<a href="http://www.nrdc.org" target="_blank"> Natural Resources Defense Council</a> (of which DiCaprio is a board member) is an international non-profit dedicated to promoting conservation of the natural environment.  In 2001, <em>Worth </em>Magazine named it one of the top 100 charities in the US.</p>
<p>Entry-level pricing for a Tag watch starts at a little less than 2k and escalates from there. Tag is owned by LVMH and has been in existence for almost 150 years.</p>
