Shave Warm.
August 28, 2009
Has anyone ever explained to you why you should use warm water to shave? In my post - Put something on...sheesh!, I spoke on why it was important to lubricate your face prior to shaving. But, I also mentioned warm water is one of the musts for a comfortable shave. Warm water is the perfect temperature to get the closest most comfortable shave. Why warm water? For Hair Water, breaks down the hydrogen bonds that keep hair firm, therefore making the hair follicles fragile or weak. ...

During this discussion, I discovered that all of them mentioned they "dry shave".

The Goatee.
August 19, 2009
For many men, it is a much needed cover up for that New Year's resolution double chin. Or, perhaps worn to give that look of mystery or distinction.
