Face Shape Matters – The Oblong/Rectangle Face

A large percentage of men have a square face shape, and it is coincidentally the most ideal and desired shape to work with.  (The square face is the male counterpart to the oval face shape for women.)  Therefore, when it comes to haircuts and beards, the goal is to square off the face, while taking [...]

The “Perfect Skin” Cocktail

The “Perfect Skin” Cocktail

Ok, so I believe that I am in good company when I say that I try to avoid shopping at all cost, unless I can do it on-line. So just about two months ago, I ran out of my daily multi-vitamin, and asked my wife to pick up a new bottle whenever she had the chance.  I’m [...]

Ears…wax ’em! That’s right, wax. You’ll thank me later!

Ears…wax ’em! That’s right, wax. You’ll thank me later!

You know I couldn’t touch on the eyebrows (last post) without giving some advice on what to do with those pesky ear hairs.  My advice is to get them waxed.  I have found that ear hair grows a lot faster than the hair on your head, so a trim won’t last the whole time between barbershop [...]

Should I color my graying beard?

Should I color my graying beard?

The number one thing I ask my client’s to consider is how much time they are willing to dedicate to maintaining this regimen.  This is important because the hair on your face is a major focal point, and when colored, the new growth of your beard hair will always seem to grow faster.  This is [...]

Face shape matters – The Triangular Face

As I stated previously in my first post – (Face shape matters – The Round Face)… A large percentage of men have a square face shape, and it is coincidentally the most ideal and desired shape to work with.  (The square face is the male counterpart to the oval face shape for women.)  Therefore, when [...]

Cool the Burn

Cool the Burn

Well, it’s obvious that I have a great concern for men’s skin care.  To be more specific…how your skin feels after shaving.  Often my clients complain that their skin feels raw, or their face burns after they’ve shaved. Now, there are many reasons for this, (1) poor preparation (2) an old razor blade (3) or shaving against the grain.  [...]
