There’s few manly hair shampoo options out there, and believe us, that Pantene Pro-V in your girlfriend’s shower isn’t one of them. Gillette High Performance Shampoo series is specially formulated to clean men’s hair. The new charged cleansers pull away dirt and oil to give you that extra clean feeling. Their Clean + Refreshing Shampoo is infused with mint extracts that cleans with just a hint of fresh mint, but don’t worry, it’s still manly enough to carry the Gillette branding.

As many of you have come to realize, the guys here at Gear Patrol are big fans of Panerai watches. New models get released all the time, but few make as bold a statement as this watch here, the Panerai Luminor 1950 Ceramic 8 days Chrono Monopulsante. Otherwise referred to as PAM 317, this watch was recently released at Basel 2008 and has been generating considerable buzz ever since the announcement.

Although this isn’t the first ceramic Panerai to be released (that honor belongs to the ceramic Radiomir), it is the brand’s first Luminor case to be made in ceramic. For those of you that don’t know, ceramic hardened watches are significantly tougher than their steel counterparts. The specs on this watch are impressive to say the least, featuring an 8 day manual wound in-house manufacture movement with a horizontal power reserve indicator, second time zone GMT function, exhibition case back to view that amazing movement, 24 hr indicator, and of course the single button chronograph function.

Cost: ~$27,000 @ Panerai

Tequila 5150 is the first domestic tequila to legally import blue agave into the U.S., but it’s uniqueness lies in the fact that it’s made using wine making techniques. In typical American fashion, a friend of the bottler was told by his sheriff compadre that trying to produce tequila using wine barrels was “5150″, California’s police code for the mentally disturbed. Genius. [via Josh Spear]
