Men’s neckline choices: Squared, Rounded, or Tapered
June 30, 2010

I received a few emails asking me the best way to sport the neckline with a buzz cut. So, I felt that it would be a great idea to explain the choices, and then tell you which style I feel works the best. There are only three ways to sport the neckline no matter what the haircut: (1) Rounded (2) Squared (3) Tapered.

I get questions from readers all the time asking me "what haircut is best for each season?"

The purpose is to soften beard hair, allow easier skin manipulation while shaving, and it also makes cleansing the skin's surface more effective! So what's the big deal with closing your pores? Well closing, or the tightening of the skin's pores, reduces the chances of them getting clogged with dirt or debris.  The most common condition produced by clogged pores is acne.
