It will come as no surprise given the moustachioed furnishings of your favourite periodical, but your humble protagonist (that’s me) is rather a fan of face foliage. Sadly, unlike Burt Reynolds or Sean Connery, I’m not as blessed in the cultivation of said sub-nasal love wand. I did grow one for Movember a couple of […]
In which G.M. Norton celebrates classic British menswear as he gets all wrapped up for Christmas. In the days leading up to the pinnacle of one’s festive frivolities, I find myself reaching for two kinds of outfits, each containing pieces of clothing made in Britain. The first is the more casual of the two and […]
In order to look one’s best; one must have a well-stocked bathroom cabinet. Colognes, a manly safety razor, pomade and horn comb all take pride of place, along with other items such as tweezers and skincare products. Yes, that’s right – men need to look after their skin too. As I don’t have my own […]

Can you believe it? Today, this electronic periodical turns the grand old age of six years old. In blogging years, that’s quite something. I must be honest and confess that when I revealed my battle with depression last year, I wasn’t sure how long Norton of Morton would continue for. I decided that I would […]

It’s now a whole year since I reached for the razor and removed the hair from the top of my head. One year of being a baldie, a slap head, a skinhead. Or as I prefer to think of myself, a Bond villain. I must say, I’ve absolutely loved the last hair-free year. There’s something […]
In which G.M. Norton goes pattern crazy as he unveils a gentlemanly outfit for less than £50. Mancunian Vintage and myself recently took part in a challenge to acquire his ‘n’ hers Christmas outfits for under £50 each. Read about my experience over at Vintage Manchester. I had tremendous fun visiting the local charity shops […]
That chance encounter can happen anywhere – on public transport, standing in a queue, walking around an art gallery, at work, in a bar. The moment you meet an exquisite creature that stirs up a strong desire to overwhelm her with the ‘bold move’, all too often the incident runs as follows. The fair maiden […]
