Finding the correct brush to keep those waves in order is a task that many men find challenging. A battle between soft or hard bristles is what it really boils down to and more often than not, the soft bristles usually win. The “Gentlemen’s” Brush, a collaboration between Ohio rapper STALLEY and natural wood purveyors Good Wood NYC, is available in both comfort zones, so no matter which you prefer, you can keep the 360′s in check. The brush’s hard wood decor comes engraved with STALLEY’s silhouette as well as Good Wood branding on the front. Available here for a cool $25(USD). [via]

There are countless fashion blogs out there, but once in a while there’s one that stands out and changes the perception of blogs in general taking it to another level. Street Etiquette is one of those, so made-blog.com sat down with co-owner Joshua Kissi during his visit in Berlin and they asked him what’s so special about his menswear blog.

In the shortest period of time Street Etiquette has already been featured in GQ and Complex magazine and was ranked ‘Best Men’s Style Blog’ by the Guardian UK and selected ’40 bloggers who really count’ by the London Times.

Sean John plans to begin retailing in Europe as early as fall 2011. The clothing line would likely aim for a market in Europe that is similar to its prime U.S. niche, 25 to 28-year-old men, with price points depending on licensing and retail partners.  According to WWD, Sean Combs and his team arrived with a selection of men’s and women’s looks, along with accessories, which they showed at a light-filled suite at the Sanderson Hotel to give potential partners a taste of the brand.

Combs said the European buyers who had seen the collection were surprised. “Almost anyone who has come here today was like, ‘I thought the product would have logos on it, I thought it would be baggy,’ when actually it’s timeless fashion, it has a little aspiration and it’s very clean…it’s great product,” he said.

Sean John is worth half a billion dollars, in this clip Diddy speaks with CNN to discuss the success of his fashion line. [via]

What’s the most you’ve ever spent at a car wash? It’s probably nowhere near $10,000! Gurcharn Sahota of Elite Detailing is offering a one of a kind package for some of the world’s most expensive supercars. Sahota has a 4 step process to keep the interior and exterior of your car in pristine condition.

The process starts off with an all-out wash using pH neutral shampoo and citrus degreaser, as well as clay bars to remove tarry substances. Following that is an electric scanner and ultra-fine sandpaper to remove even the most tiny scratches in the paint before applying a five-star Brazilian wax that costs over $12,000 per can. The entire process can take as long as for 4 weeks and costs over $10,000. [via] Peep the video of Gurcharn Sahota talking about his process after the jump,
