Manscaping 101 Men's Grooming Tips from head to toe for looking and smelling great

July 2nd, 2008

Whoa straight razor, now that’s hardcore shaving

A new reader sent me a link today with the top 10 reasons you should try a straight razor—10 Reasons to Shave With a Straight Razor—I love shaving humour.  Seriously most of the tips are applicable to DE safety razors as well.
I’m still not up for trying and the biggest reason is that I’m a […]

Men’s grooming tools: Part 1 the No! No! yeah “No” is the right word for it

I’ve been testing a couple tools for “manscaping” of late.  One you’ve probably heard of and one probably not.  The Phillips Body Groom is pretty well known, the standard trimmer razor idea, the No! No! is new to North America and to men especially.  It does its thing with heat and that makes it pretty […]

Product Review: Gillette Fusion Power Phenom–I don’t need vibrations to have a great shave

I was given a couple Gillette Fusion Power Phenom razors recently to take on a test drive.  You know that I’ve been a Gillette man since college and my first Atra razor.  It’s only been recently that I’ve moved to the old school (and better) safety razor.
So, are five blades better than one?  Does a […]

Check out this great handlebar mustache–think you could do this?

Ever want one of those cool handlebar mustaches from days gone by?  Me, not so much.  Don’t think it would try it, after reading this post of one guy’s four month journey to grow one—Traditio in Radice: Tradify Your Manly Face—I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t.
I don’t have that kind of patience.
Heck, I sometimes trim my […]

Manscaping 101 field trials:Merkur safety razor first shave

I did it and lived.  I had my first shave with the Merkur Progress safety razor.  Really, it wasn’t bad.  Only minor bleeding.  One thing for sure is that I’m really glad I watched The Shaving Tutor’s video on how to shave with this bugger.  Before I get into my experience (with pictures), here is […]

Manscaping 101 Shaving Tips: My first safety razor Merkur Progress adjustable razor

I finally did it.  I went out and bought my first double-blade safety razor, a Merkur Progress adjustable.  Hefty little bugger.  Took me a bit to figure out the whole putting the blade in thing.  Not to mention I didn’t know that the blade bends!
I got it at Simply the Best on Broad St. in […]

Manscaping 101 Shaving Tips: The double edged razor–Can it make a comeback?

I’ve been doing a lot of reading about shaving since I started this blog.  Not only have I been trying lots of products (and believe it or not my skin is not the worse for wear, I think it might even be better looking now), but I’ve been paying attention to the whole process of […]

Manscaping 101 Shaving Tips: Organic shaving creams–help or hype?

Living on the West Coast of Canada, I can’t swing a stick without hitting some add or product that is “organic” (allow me my pet peeve.  In chemistry, something that has carbon is “organic”, so I’d like to see an apple without carbon, enough said).  You can buy and “organic” version of just about everything […]

Manscaping 101 Product Review: Espa shaving mud and skin tonic

Last week I briefly mentioned Espa’s shaving mud and skin tonic spray in my shaving post and the whole “shaving mud” thing caught people’s attention.  Funny a skin tonic face spritz/spray didn’t get as many comments.
Regardless let’s start with the shave mud.  The Espa site describes it as:
A unique concept combining an effective shaving […]
