About Jerome – Founder of Dapper & Groomed
Bonjour, I’m Jerome.
I’m a 51-year-old French lifestyle blogger living in the beautiful town of Thornbury (north Bristol), UK. I’m also a proud father of four, a skincare enthusiast, a fragrance lover, and a bit of a tech geek—especially when it comes to audio gear and mobile gadgets.
Since 2014, I’ve been writing at Dapper & Groomed, a blog I first started as a daddy blog during my kids’ early years. What began as a personal journal evolved into something much bigger: a trusted lifestyle destination for men who want to take care of themselves, look good, and feel more confident—at any age.
From Blogger to Full-Time Creator
In 2024, after ten years of blogging on the side, I took the leap and became a full-time content creator. It wasn’t an easy decision, but turning 50 gave me the push I needed to focus on what I truly love—helping men rediscover themselves.
My content now spans:
Skincare and grooming for men over 35
Personal fragrance reviews
Tech gadgets and accessories (especially audio gear)
Honest reviews of men’s sex toys and wellness products
Reflections on fatherhood, aging, and modern masculinity
What You’ll Find on Dapper & Groomed
I write the kind of reviews I wish I could have read years ago—personal, honest, and detailed, without all the fluff. If I say something is good, it’s because I’ve actually used it. If I don’t like something, I’ll tell you why. That’s my promise to you.
You’ll also find gift guides, unboxing videos, and reflections on work, wellness, and navigating life as a 50-year-old man in today’s world.
LIfestylewithjerome – My YouTube Channel
In 2016, I launched a YouTube channel called lifestylewithjerome—a space where I talk about everything from skincare to headphones, relationships to productivity, all from the perspective of a man in his prime. You’ll also find product unboxings and short reviews.
