Manscaping

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Other casual close-toed shoes besides tennis shoes do exist. For example, try some boat shoes. They have come back into fashion. Get some no-reveal socks to go with them. They look great with shorts and a t-shirt! You can dress them up or down. They are also slip-on, so they will be convenient for you. They are a rubber-soled shoe like the lace-ups you're used to.
Another idea is a pair of old school Vans.
I do see guys wearing those all the time. They don't seem to be very durable, though.
Interesting! I always wondered why men don't come up with a permanent idea. So much time and money is wasted in shaving.
And I think we spend less time and money than our counterparts (I have yet to use a moisturizer or defoliating cream).
Shaving predates manscaping. My definition of manscaping is anything beyond hair/moustache/beard (which is why eyebrows fall into that).
Do your hunting friends cut their hair at all?
You must not have much facial hair to speak of.
Most women I know, including myself, find it very painful to snuggle a man with scruff especially if they have heavy, thick hair. Kissing hurts so bad. It feels like being attacked by a bed of nails. My face has been rubbed raw, on the verge of bleeding. It looks like I was in a fight with a cactus and the cactus won! I learned my lesson. Even if it's just a hug, I can feel the whiskers poke through my clothes and stab me. That's what it's like being married to an Italian!

Hey... let's get this clear first... face shaving <> manscaping.
Plucking, body shaving, leg shaving, manis, pedis, facials, non-moustache/beard/sideburn trimming all fall into the manscaping category.
4 months without shaving? You must of looked like a Sikh!!! (pc commentary: I actually have some friends who are Sikh)
I like shaving with a razor because it's fast... but the SO prefers stubble... so I have to use a trimmer and just shave the other parts. Probably use the trimmer once or twice a week... and shave daily.

Do regular men (not celebrities) also get botox and other facial treatments? Just curious. I know IHO wouldn't.

i shave every day, most of the time though i just do a quick shave, meaning i just shave downward. When i only shave downward and i rub my hand up my face you can still feel some stubble. For special events i do a clean shave, meaning up and down and then my face is as smooth as a babys but. The quick one takes me less than 5 minutes, the clean shave takes me 10-15.
RKP - i have thought of doing laser hair removal for my face as well but have not known anyone to try it. Do you know how much is cost and how long it took? This is probably a stupid question but any side effects?

You will never be able to look like this guy:qwerty said:
laser hair removal for face - no idea on cost but the side effect and this is a big one- you never have a 5'oclock shadow so a bit too feminine for me. other side effect as with any laser treatment is possible scarring. my wife had her tat laser removed and got some bad scarring...its actually cool cause it looks like a raised color-less tat now but thats a different story
and sorry IHO but shaving is part of manscaping. some of my hunting buddies look like they live off the grid and would call us girly men for shaving every day.
CZ - i get facials once a year when we do our relaxation vacation but nothing regular on the face.

I put this link yesterday but removed it again since it was about women, not men.
The ad was withdrawn, and there is enough said/written about this topic, but here it is, just for fun.. how do such products get made? how is the demographics study done?

fair point. i guess givens for men include shaving and cutting hair.
but here is an example where it goes from regular to manscaping on hair cuts. one of my friends gets a cleanup on the neck and around the ears *every* week. well actually every other cause he gets a full hair cut every 2 weeks. would you not consider that manscaping?
and to add to the bad habits of men...or just me...longest you have gone without a shower and not talking about college days but full on adulthood. mine would be 4 nights. my wife hated me and only way i could continue was by calling it an experiment

Everybody's had a chance to put their mind on other things now. Let's try getting back on topic when everybody comes back after the weekend break.
We were last talking about facial hair.
I love short goatees on men if they can pull it off i.e. can actually grow a beard.
How many of you guys typically wear facial hair of any kind? Please no Tom Sellek mustaches or full beards. They are so outdated yet I see them every once in a while. Sometimes even trendy men wear them as a kitschy throwback.
