MEL Magazine is a men's magazine headquartered in Marina del Rey, California. Originally funded by Dollar Shave Club, Mel has been described by New York Times journalist Amanda Hess as "the rare men's magazine that has taken upon itself to investigate masculinity, not enforce it." The magazine has no advertisements. On July 7, 2021, it was announced that MEL had been acquired by Recurrent Ventures and would be relaunching under longtime editor in chief Josh Schollmeyer. On July 22, 2022, MEL staff were laid off again.
