Pause.
You’re probably sitting at your desk like a chump thinking stupid shit like “But he operates, and I don’t”, “He wears makeup on camera”. Do me a favor and straight up slap yourself. Let me put you on to a little secret I found out about a few days ago. Part of the strategy of Travis’ company Haley Strategic is man maintenance through specially formulated skincare products. Don’t even say “That’s gay”, because I assure you it’s not. While Travis will continue dropping Zoolander-worthy 1000 yard stares while aging gracefully well into his 60s still making teenage girls swoon, some of you guys that decided to not wear sunscreen your entire lives, and save money by washing your face with bullshit generic bar soap will look 3x your age and probably get the cops called on you when you’re within 100 yards of a school. Do the world a favor and be more like Travis.
I haven’t used anything by Turo Skin (yet), but judging by their website guys that are active and have good hair use it, so I’m sure it’s legit.
I give Chris Costa and apparently now Travis Haley a rough time about jumping sharks… but let it be known that even though I haven’t met either of them, they are among my favorite people in the industry.

“While Travis will continue dropping Zoolander-worthy 1000 yard stares while aging gracefully well into his 60s still making teenage girls swoon…”
Mike, you forgot 24 year old ex-Marine Infantrymen.
…and Swedish 25-year old sergeants of infantry.
Seriously, TrayHay, so hawt.
hahah yea kidding… grown men love TH
Haley’s hinted towards (probably even having skin cancer in the past so it doesn’t surprise me that he’d team up with a distributor that’s (apparently) well known in their industry to have strong protection against it.
I probably wont be buying any of it, but I can’t really talk shit about it either.
The truth about “male grooming”:

This coming from probably one of the least manly men in British comedy, which is saying something.
I don’t object to people looking to make an extra buck, but still…
As GZA once so famously said….

hahaha word.
There’s a sucker born every minute…
Who is this guy and why do I care? I checked out their website and I can’t even figure out what the hell they actually specialize in. They appear to sell “Design and Creative”, “Film and Photography” and “Social Networks” services along side firearm training. Who the fuck thought that would be good idea for a business. I still dont understand why so many people have man crushes on Magpul employees.
And Mike, are you sure youre not a hipster fag for lathering your face in the byproducts of placentas and foreskins, all the while write blog articles about over priced tacky clothes, such as those $825 pair of black leather dress shoes that just happen to have a woodland camo sole?
Yawn. Your military bashing and overall shitty mood is getting tiresome. If you hate the blog so much and the people that comment here why even bother?
Im sure the same could be said about your endless ranting about Yeager, Vigilant Specter, and shameless self promotion of tacky t-shirts, but it doesnt seem to stop you.
haha you’re an interesting guy Matt. I still don’t get why you waste your time here if you hate everyone and everything I blog about, but whatever.
He says in the video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J78rr2QDHxM ) that his wife is a dermatologist, I’d say he’s got a little inside info on the skincare subject.
This is like the greatest ENDO post ever. lol
I bet his wife’s company is called Haley Strategic Dermatology. LOL
Non-permissive blemish specialist…
I started Double Edge shaving recently and their shave “creme” is some of the more expensive stuff I’ve seen. I’ve been using $5 soaps but the most I’ve seen the high end cremes going for was like $20…
“Don’t even say “That’s gay”, because I assure you it’s not.”
I’m starting to wonder if you can truly disseminate this information objectively.
(if you don’t laugh at this, my suspicions are confirmed…not that there’s anything wrong with that)
Just trying to make you guys laugh. If you have a hot daughter (25 – 35 years old) email me her facebook info. ;)
I do have a hot daughter. She’s a 10 year old dual-wielding, leather-wearing goddess that is immortal yet must avoid sunlight. You can have her when I’m through with her. You and the dubsteppers can foot the bill for her Quinceanera but she still won’t Glock, she’s an HK filly, and calls every acne-riddled punk “Daddy Please”.
(OK, I was sterilized in the ’70’s and have no children. Just playing along for laughs)
How old is he, anyway?
Proud to be tactically metrosexual. You detail your weapon, why not your body?
Is it April 1st already? WTF is this?
Expensive stuff with SPF15???? Don’t tell me he wears Ranger Panties too. Forget that I’ll stay with my Coppertone. Hell I figured a bad ass operators sweat had a higher SPF than that.
Seriously, speaking as a burn survivor picking the right sun blocker is important, do some research, there are inexpensive blockers that work good and some expensive brands that aren’t worth applying.
You are all very amusing, and I am enjoying this string. Besides Travis’ history of skin cancer from living outside all his life, you should all realize that behind every great man is an amazing woman. And, Travis happens to have me. As a Dermatologist, he is privileged to have access to all the best products. I have chased him around for 12 years with everything you can imagine and TURO is the only line that he has liked. If you know my husband, you will know that if he loves something and is passionate about it, he will share it. (Except for me, of course. No sharing me so don’t get any ideas).
Hey Jen! Thanks for stopping by. Glad you can see the humor in the post. I appreciate what Travis has done for the industry and the country as a whole. I’ll consider checking TURO out sometime.
Thanks again!
Oh someone has something besides “kill kill death death” as a product…. must be a sell out. *obligatory eye roll*
Travis Haley is a Professional Badass!!! He has my respect. I hope to meet him someday and take some of his classes. I’ve watched some of his videos I can tell that he is not only a Highly trained, highly experienced professional but also a passionate and patriotic American. He’s a real man. As a fellow Recon Marine. I would gladly go into a combat zone fighting beside him any day!!!! That’s a real dude right there. Not many guys like that. And he has nice skin.
Most operators and former operators look younger than they really are anyway. Most take care of themselves, eat healthy and exercise. That’s half the battle right there. Look at Paul Howe, Kyle Lamb, Chris Costa and many more.
