If you groom your brows, go for neat and natural looking. Unless you're a drag queen, NO man should look like this:



do you recommend like removing of the eyebrows in general lol..and either drawing in the eyebrows or just going without eyebrows.

I say go for the Whoopie Goldberg, Ronnie DeVoe look myself. Consider it a facial equivalent to the Michael Jordan hairdo.

...It's gotta be fashionable somewhere. confused

01. Drink water with meals. Not tea, coffee, wine or beer (unless you're dining out); NO! Booze and food are complementary.
02. Take a multi-vitamin tablet with minerals every day; NO! My vitamins come from food
03. Moisturise with something that contains Vitamin E and a little sunscreen; I would leave that at moisturise when you remember.
04. If your hair is thinning, get a buzz-cut; YES
05. Don't mess with spots before you're due to leave the house. Cover them up with concealer and deal with them later; Concealer? NO, then the spot just looks like a spot with concealer on it. Pop the sucker, but don't forget to keep tabs on the little chap throughout the day.06. Talcum powder is messy, so put your underwear on first and then have a good shake of powder at the front and back; Good tip...if you use the stuff.
07. Carry lip-salve with you at all times but don't apply just before walking into a room as it'll look like lip gloss; YES
08. Clean your shoes!!! There's no excuse for battered stinky running shoes at the end of your feet. YES

If you've tried cleaning your shoes and still can't get rid of the pong inside, you need this handy tip...

    Fill a squirty bottle with anti-septic disenfectant or surgical spirit;
    Squirt inside the shoes liberally;
    As soon as you've squirted, put the shoes inside a plastic shopping bag and place in your freezer overnight;
    Take out of the freezer and defrost at room temperature thirty minutes before wearing again


WTF?

09. Don't trim nasal hair, it just comes back twice as fast. Learn to pluck and bear it; YES thew pain numbs after a while lol
10. If you're a little overweight, don't think that buying a bigger shirt will make you look better... Buy something which will pull you in a little and leave the top buttons undone. If you walk around with something that looks like a kaftan tucked into your pants, it looks as if you have something to hide.YES


I would add, it is essential for a man to be well groomed but don't be afraid to be yourself too.

WE are, afterall, only human.

EYEBROW Plucking, not yet mate! And hopefully never.

When you hit 40, hair starts growing inside your ears. Ugh, but you gotta trim it. Also, a hair starts growing on the tip of your nose. And that one hair goes from 0" to 1" overnight. You have to check for it EVERY morning or else you'll look like a unicorn.

That's really more than I wanted to share... sigh

I keep my hair cut close, mid-fade...applying Fructis shake and spray gel.....

for hold and style...

....use astringent (Sea-breeze) after shaving, before applying

to ward of the ravages of the desert sun AND age.....

When I come in from a day out and about, I clean the face using these....

to clean off the day's gunk before applying


.....I also brush 3 times a day, gargle for at least 2 minutes.....I don't shape the eyebrows (they're a part of my appeal, or so I've been told) and I have yet to pluck my nose hair (OUCH!!!! omfg ), but I do use a nose and ear hair trimmer....and for crice sake.....MANSCAPE, no matter your age....I don't mean ya gotta go brazilian.....but a trim and lining keeps things presentable...and when you do hit your more advanced years, anything that furthers the image of mucho package is a plus..... whistling

WOW eek

I would love to have that done. I have never even had a pedicure let alone any sort of waxing or flossing.
I feel so manly...

lol

I just cannot justify paying someone to do something to me that I can do myself.

Hon, judging from your pics, "manly" is hardly the first adjective that comes to mind.... biggrin my wife is trying to convince me to go with her to get a pedicure....even said she'd get a spot way in the back in case my troops walk by....would do major damage to my leadership posture if my guys saw big bad sarge getting his feet pampered.... lol

I do not like ppl to touch my feet so that has kept me from getting a pedicure. I have a hard time sitting still being pampered. I can sit still long enough to get a quick haircut..that is about it. I colour my own hair..ok maybe I am just cheap not manly.

Imago

1. Use a facial scrub. Even the cheap Walmart apricot scrub works fine.
2. Always use sunblock. Neutragina(sp?) now offers "Full spectrum" sunblocks that last 5 hours. It's important to use FS sunblocks as they prevent damage to not only the top layer of skin but the one below it too.
3. Floss, floss, floss.
4. If you can't afford to go to a salon on a regular basis, go at least once. Ask the stylist for his recommendations as to what to do with your hair. Be very specific and also open to his or her suggestions. Once they've given you the haircut that works with you, you can ask for that style from your regular barber. I can't stress it enough that the right hair on a person can make all the difference.
5. If you wear facial hair, keep it trimmed. Surveys have shown that people have certain biases against those who grow their beards out au-natural.
6. Don't overdue manscaping. Women don't like that.

I have some shopping to do!

My friends call me metrosexual because:
1.I trim my eyebrows
2.Wear clothes that fit me
3.May sometimes wear some makeup when I have a scar or something(I had an infection during the summer that nearly destroyed the side of my face.)
4.I'm really serious about my face and skin. I worship cocoa butter lol
