Grooming Forum?

What about 'Hair Grooming thread' ?

Shaving - This may be too late for most. When you are young, you need to shave only once a week. The more you shave in a week, the more beard you will have! I shave only once a week and I hardly grow any beard whatsoever by the end of the week. I use the best - Gillette Fusion gel and Gillette Fusion blades. they are indeed the best. I also do not have stubbles

Deodrants - I wear a white t-short like vest with all my shirts and most deodrants including Lynx leave yellow stains on my vests. I am sticking with Adidas triple action these days but I don't think I have found the best yet

Hair - I go for a Side 3 , top scissors short cut. I spike my front hair with Shockwaves Matte Clay. A mate has recommended Got2b glue. Both are very good and do not cause hair loss like other gels or Brylcream!

Hairdressers - learn to DIY. Saves a lot of time and money. Especially if you grow hair thick/fast like yours truly. Wardrobes with folding mirrors that allow you to see the back of your head are a must though.

Shaving. Bic disposables (sensitive skin type) and Sainsbury's basics shaving foam in the evening, 'leccy shaver in the morning.

Job jobbed.

Got my vasectomy this afternoon, now there's a whole sub-topic of grooming in the 'required preparation'. Razors and the old gentleman tackle should never have to meet.

I'm a little envious here as I have to have a trim every 6 weeks max and the clipper everything just makes me look like a hooligan

[herulach]

Barbers about every 3 weeks for me (should really be 2, but I'm generally lazy) Used to be clippers once a week, but swmbo got sick of me looking like a convict. TBH its a pain, even though its not that expensive my barber of choice is generally a 20 minute wait, and all the other places cut it craply or want an arm and a leg for the privilege.

The more you shave in a week, the more beard you will have!

I used to take that commonly spread word of wisdom as fact, but I am not convinced anymore. I reckon it's really all genetics. I remember back in school, some of my Middle-East friends would be able to grow a moustache very early during puberty. Whereas I've been shaving everyday for a long, long time now as I don't like stubbles, yet if I really wanted to grow a moustache to fully cover the skin, I'd probably have to wait half a year. A beard? Forget it. I wonder if the common wisdom do not have it backward. People who grow facial hair faster needs to shave more often than those who simply do not grow facial hair as fast, giving an impression that it's the shaving that is causing the growth.

Just to clarify - when I say 'grooming' I don't just mean haircuts. The morning/evening routines are something all...wait, most?... of us go through. Surely there's some discussion to be had on the products and routines involved? Maybe not.

This just goes from bad to worse..

Wow, what a faff - once over with the clippers at 2 when it needs it - job done!

Way too much much information there!

A gentleman's log cabin needs to be always neat & clean. Nair cream also works fine. Just make sure you don't cover up the basement And, never ever shave the cabin!

At the risk of sounding all girly - I've noticed there isn't a grooming section in the forums.

Every so often a need or interest arises where I want to discuss subjects such as safety and straight razor shaving, other shaving products, and even barber shop/hair dressing subjects. Might be an idea for a sub-section maybe?

(Even cave-dwelling IT trolls need to learn about the best rocks for scrapping off leeches)

And - while I'm at it. I'm due to get my hair cut tomorrow. Any guys with longer hair have trouble getting hairdressers/barbers to understand what layering is? Been to about 8 hairdressers/barbers in Gibraltar and never been completely satisfied (even when armed with photos).

If your after safety and straight razor shaving then check out this forum, plenty of good thread on there.

I've never really been the well groomed type (as h3xu5 Lanners can probably attest...)
But more recently I've between making more regular trips to a hair dresser, still haven't really had any drive to not look like a hobo in turns of facial hair, although I did finally cave in January and buy a trimmer to replace the scissors I'd been using for a few years...
