A Guide to Male Grooming: Don’t Overthink It, Don’t Be Lazy

Grooming is one of the things that men have relatively easy, at least compared to women. While women are free to do as they please, it’s not uncommon for Western women to shave or perform difficult hair removal procedures on a tremendous amount of body real estate. For men, it is often socially acceptable to do virtually no grooming at all. But this doesn’t mean that that’s what dudes should do. For the healthy, self-respecting adult male, it’s time to up the ante on grooming standards, and pay attention some of the things they’ve sometimes overlooked.

Hair Removal. There, I said it. More men should consider this option. Facilities like Therapie Clinic provide very affordable, very effective hair removal for anywhere on your body. Consider your manscape, gentlemen. Perhaps you have, shall we say, a bit of an outcropping on your shoulders and back. Perhaps your buttcrack is a jungle of tangles. If you care about looking your best, for partners to come or someone currently in your life, maybe it’s time to get rid of some of this excess furriness. Consult someone special in your life for specific recommendations, or go DIY. Laser hair removal is one of the most affordable ways to cut back some of your overgrowth, and it’s honestly an option which more men should consider.

Regular, Quality Shaving. Guys, your face hurts to kiss. That’s why it’s important to shave often and well. If you are an adult man with an average or above average ability to grow facial hair, 12-24 hours after your most recent facial shaving, your stubble is like daggers to the gentle skin of a lover. When you kiss, especially if you’re kissing hard and for more than a few seconds, you are liable to rub raw the face of someone you care about very much. Shave every day, with a high density shaving cream (it really does make a difference), and use a blade that is sharp. If you don’t, it’s beard stubble sandpaper when we kiss you. Just a thought.

Get a Haircut. The past decade has been a growing time for men in this regard. But there are lots of dudes who still haven’t gotten the memo. Unless you are the sort who looks great with long flowing locks, or sexy unkempt bedhead, you need to visit the hair cuttery once a month, if not more often. For best results, haircuts really need to be touched up every 2 or 3 weeks. Regular customers often get discounted rates for these hair tuneups, so discuss this with a barber you love and get your hair looking right.

Being a well groomed male isn’t rocket science, but it does require attention being paid to certain important areas. Keep your hair, beard, and problem body hair in order, and you’ll be a courtly young gentlemen. Let it go to pasture and you’ll look like you live under a bridge. The choice is yours, make it a good one and stick to it for life.
