'Mansome': Morgan Spurlock examines men's self-image, grooming
20.05.2012, 07:00:00
In 'Mansome,' Morgan Spurlock, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and others talk about men's image issues. Spurlock even considers (and shaves) his mustache. Morgan Spurlock, the clown prince of documentary filmmaking, has examined fast food ("Super Size Me") and product placement ("The Greatest Movie Ever Sold"). Now, in the just-released"Mansome," he turns his attention to the somewhat surprising topic of men's grooming, enlisting champion beard growers, hirsute celebrities and a grab bag of barbers, anthropologists and magazine editors to bring the discussion of men's looks and masculinity out of the closet and into the bright light of day.

'Mansome's' Morgan Spurlock reveals his favorite grooming products
20.05.2012, 07:00:00
Morgan Spurlock, who tackles the male grooming trend in the new documentary 'Mansome,' gives details on his preferred razor, after-shave, shaving brush and cream. Since Morgan Spurlock is known for fully immersing himself in his movies — famously subsisting onMcDonald's menu items for "Super Size Me" and pounding the pavement for every last product placement dollar in "The Greatest Story Ever Sold" — it seemed only appropriate to ask the man behind"Mansome" about his go-to grooming products and tools, most of which happen to come from boutique shaving brand the Art of Shaving, which signed on to sponsor the film's recent West Coast premiere and after-party. And, just in case there is any question about possible product placement in "Mansome," Spurlock is unequivocal: "No, nobody paid to put anything in the film," he said.
