The young, American male is a proud and courageous fellow. He has years of learning and heartache that help shift him from a boy to a man. The young American is the future leader of politics and industry. He will help push his generation into the finest age the world has ever seen. Every gentleman is the same spiting image of perfection, but of course he must surround himself with key items to keep up his lavish yet noble lifestyle. The young American male is a model to all and every aspect of his life must exceed expectations. To excel in everything, he must have the best there are several key items that help him. Everything from hygiene, to knowledge, and constant preparation the superior, young man must be ready for all of these and more. Nothing drives women into a sexual hysteria more than the fragrance of our greatest founding father George Washington. This alluring bottle depicts a golden President Washington, and the nation’s mascot the bald eagle rests atop of the bottle. Every young man must smell his best during the business hours of the week, and when relaxing after working hours. Why nothing is better than the old hickory and bourbon smell of the nations finest hero. While personal hygiene is essential, a young man’s mind is just as important. The young man must be able to excel in academics, physical education, and arithmetic. To move on in life one must finish his most pivotal education in the most profound four years of anyone’s life. High school help shapes the boy into the man, without it the young American is lost before his journey can begin.The young, American male must be able ready for anything. The tool one can use for anything of course is their Boy Scout pocketknife. When the going gets tough and one must be able to make fire, unlock a door, or perform basic surgery. The young, American male is spontaneous and creative he must be ready for anything and everything when called upon. The young American male is an intellectual who discusses sophisticated things on numerous occasions. He will debate with others late into reasonable hours of the night. Every gentleman must have a good wooden pipe to smoke before, during, and after long conversations. It will not only help him have a clear mind and level head, but make the young man look unrelenting.When a young man is uncertain he should have an item to have all of the answers. Father Lasnace’s, “The Young Man’s Guide” is a book for reflection. A young man can look for guidance and can make the most determined, proper, and sophisticated choices in life. With all the answers a man will ever need. Follow the rules with class or you go to hell. These five items will help a man be all he can be. There are many other items that can enhance a young man’s image and logic. Yet these five items are the necessary and most vital for today’s young American.

At the age of ten when a lad begins his transition from a boy to a man, he gets a pocketknife. The pocketknife represents his new responsibility as a young man. It is a tool that is meant to help others, but it can be dangerous. A young lad will have the opportunity to become a trustworthy member of citizen. Once everyone sees how mature he is with his pocketknife, they will know he is a good lad. Now and again boys will be boys, but a young lad should know right from wrong. A pocketknife will help bring that sense of responsibility to him.

George Washington Cologne is produced outside Mount Vernon, Virginia. The company The George Washington cologne was established back in 1874. It became one of the favored colognes of American men. This is due to its patriotic name and George Washington scent. Good hygiene is essential to American lads, who strive for the best.

An American lad one day turns into an American man. Being a productive member of society he will need to relax every once and a while. Smoking tobacco through a hand crafted pipe is one of the finest things a man, not a lad, can do. Once a lad reaches the age of eighteen he can smoke a pipe. This occasion marks his transition from a young man to a man. Most American men prefer a pipe with a straight shaft and a circular, wooden bowl. An American man unwinds with rich tobacco, and his pipe.
