Biography
The Gentlemen’s Standard is ambitiously redefining how gentlemen of color approach life, culture, and style. Founded in 2008, this site arose from a dissatisfaction with how men of color are sometimes portrayed in various media outlets. Moreover, this site was created due to a dissatisfaction with how some gentlemen of color portrayed themselves.
Thus, The Gentlemen’s Standard was born. I wanted to offer a different perspective – a sophisticated one. I wanted to create a website where men could find a sophisticated sanctuary, a respectable respite from the negativity that has pervaded our society. Here, a man can learn what to wear on an interview, glean knowledge from historical greats, and learn in general what constitutes a modern gentleman.
This blog is the antithesis of a modern culture that has forgotten what a real gentleman is. This blog wants to change that. Cultured. Intelligent. Real. Style just got a little smarter. My name is Glen Antoine Palmer. Welcome to The Gentlemen’s Standard.
I like your site a lot and want you to keep posting.
And thank you for reading!
This blog, and what it stands for, is greatly needed in our. Glad you made it. Glad it’s here. Looking around, I see there is a lot to learn here, so I plan on sticking around awhile.
I found your blog from a retweet from someone I follow. I certainly glad I did, I will be checking back frequently. Might I also suggest a possible blog post? Straight razor shave…..at home. I do it often, not daily but at least once a week. I don’t have a heavy beard but, I will do it to start my week, sometime twice if there is a date night with the Mrs. Planned. Well thank you I enjoy reading your thoughts.
Well, I am glad that you were able to check it out. I have a straight razor. I was wearing a pretty think beard back in the winter months, but I have since trimmed it down. So, I will probably give the straight shave a try going forward in the spring/summer.
