Which men on this thread wax (all areas), pluck eyebrows, styled haircut (not barbers) and do facial skincare beyond flannel and soap?

I'm afraid that just the words back, crack and sack brings tears to my eyes.

Puts hand up proudly (although no need to wax, being lucky enough to look more like a man than a monkey).

I sent OH for one about 7 years ago. He is now 46.

He is unlikely to go bald and has a full head of thick jet black hair (now with a few slivers of grey) which is not very MSE as he needs a cut every 6 weeks minimum..........he has found an stylist who set up her own salon who does a wicked cut for £12....anyways....it means he is a hairy kind of guy.

So.....I decided to have him de-haired to see what it was like. He was up for it being a blokey type of guy and coped very well with the pain...unfortunately, his skin just went into a mega rash......so now he is hairier than ever.

He does 'do' clippers for you know wherre and plucks nose hairs and eyebrows but, oddly, all the hairs on his legs disapeared about 3 years back from the knee down. No idea why.:o


He was also on the smart price shower gel until recently when he noticed his hair is a 'bit dry'. Not being one to use the conditioner ~(like why do the same process twice?) he got a pink, nice smelling something from Lodl last week. 'Essences' something I think.


I already had Cleaver and Bendix down as groomed new men.



I reckon OH spends easily £250 pa incl razors.

Are there really men still out there who think that moisturising is something that is still a bit weird for men? I thought we got past all that in about 1992.

There sure are

I rumbled OH's brother with the Touch Eclat....and got one for OH at the airport this summer. Has he used it? Nope..so I will instead.
Incidentally, it is identical to mine except for the packet which is silver instead of gold.
