About Me


Bonjour, I’m Jerome.

I’m a UK-based men’s lifestyle blogger, independent product reviewer, and the founder of Dapperandgroomed.com, a men’s lifestyle magazine launched in 2013.

For over 13 years, I’ve been testing and reviewing men’s skincare, grooming products, fragrances, lifestyle tech, and wellness items: always based on first-hand, real-world use. My readers are primarily based in the United States and the UK, with a growing international audience.

In 2024, I became a full-time content creator, focusing on honest, experience-based reviews for men over 35 who want clear advice rather than marketing hype.

My Background & Expertise

Before blogging full time, I spent over 20 years working in technical and sound roles within the entertainment industry. That background trained my attention to detail and makes reviewing audio products such as headphones, earbuds, and speakers a natural extension of my career.

I’ve also worked within the healthcare sector (pharmacy), which informs my responsible approach to skincare, acne care, ingredients, and sexual wellness , particularly in categories where trust and safety matter.

What You’ll Find on Dapper & Groomed

All content on Dapperandgroomed.com is written by me and based on direct use.

  • Skincare & Grooming: realistic routines and ingredient-aware reviews, especially for men over 30

  • Fragrance: personal wear tests, longevity, projection, and real-life impressions

  • Tech & Audio:products I actually use at home, on walks, and while working

  • Men’s Wellness & Lifestyle :written from lived experience, not trends

I don’t publish generic, outsourced, or automated reviews.If a product appears on this site, it’s because I’ve tested it myself and believe it’s worth discussing.

Over the years, I’ve reviewed and collaborated with brands such as:

Duke Cannon · Brickell · Blu Atlas · Western Rise · Edifier · 1More · Mudita

And if you’re a reader: thank you.

I write for men who value experience over hype, clarity over trends, and honest advice over marketing promises.

Jerome.
