Advantages: well written, individual perspective, very of its own time Disadvantages: biased & dated
Paul Theroux undertook his journey round the coast of the United Kingdom over 25 years ago, in 1982. Even more than normally, his book is very slight on information, strong on description and dominated by the author's perceptions, feelings and judgements.
Being his usual miserable persona, Theroux doesn't spare the locations he visits and the people he meets just because they happen to be British. Wry, observant and always seeing the empty half of the glass (unless it's filled with sludge), he travels the length of the coast of the UK by train and on foot, avowedly skipping castles and cathedrals and under-sampling cities.
He is, of course, frightfully unfair. He's scathing, ironic, judgemental without spelling the judgements out, and very, very choosy about the human creations too. As all who read Theroux know, he's not very fond ...
Advantages: Great long lasting smell, nice bottle Disadvantages: A little more expensive than others on the market
I was bought this aftershave for Christmas this year by my girlfriend. I liked it so much; I thought I would share my opinion of it with Ciao.
Packaging
Jean Paul Gaultier 'Le Male' comes in a silver tin with the 'Jean Paul Gaultier' label embossed on the front.

The bottle itself is typical of Jean Paul Gaultier aftershave and comes in their famous body shaped bottle. This particular bottle is in the theme of a sailor. The bottle is an off navy blue with white stripes ...
Advantages: Environmental friendly, good values, products not tested on animals Disadvantages: Results not satisfactory, not a good outcome
At one of my trips at the saloon, I was recommended some products from Paul Mitchell for my daughter, who has a frizzy and curly hair which seems to have gone in a very bad shape over the last year.
I have to admit that up until this point I have never heard of this brand, so I have decided to give it a try and see if it will help getting my little daughter?s hair back in shape. Since I normally do not buy products I don?t know I have looked up on the internet to see what information I could find about Paul Mitchell products, even if it was a bit late by this point.
Who is Paul Mitchell?
Paul Mitchell was a hairdresser who, together with John Paul DeJoria, decided in 1980 to create a brand designed especially for hair care professionals. The company wasn't a big success in the beginning and they struggled not to ...
