Shaving

Ah, yes!  The wonderful feeling of prepping your face with a shave brush! I know, I know, you’re busy, but just pick one day out of the week and give yourself this royal treatment. Based on the emails regarding Friday’s post – (A single blade that gets it close!), I can see many of you are interested…and rightly so! It’s great [...]

I think that there is nothing more fitting at this point (being that we covered shaving, cleansing and hairstyling), then to finish off with an item that brings this all together…cologne! Since we all know how to apply it now, and make it last (See Post: How to Apply Cologne), I searched my bathroom counter for one that [...]

I’m going to get right to it on this post.  Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer.  Have you seen them in the shaving aisle?  They’ve been on the market for sometime now; however, I have always written them off as something that couldn’t possibly work (I know, I know…).  So the other day while on a cruise, there just [...]

I get emails from many of you stating that you love wet shaves.  Believe me, I love them too!  So here is a shaving cream that has only been on the block for a short time, but is getting a great deal of attention!

By now, you’ve probably read my posts on products that help to eliminate irritating ingrown hairs and razor bumps (See Product of the Month link).  And, since one of my responsibilities as a barber is to make sure that you, my reader, not only gets a close and comfortable shave, but an irritation free one as well, I’ve found yet another new prescription! The [...]

Now that you know what shaver to buy (On the second day…), let me show you what is out there that can make the shave even better! Remember those old Lectric Shave commercials?  OK…maybe not! Well, here is a new and improved version! Electric Pre-Shave Solution by Anthony Logistics It helps with… Hair Raising – lifts the hair to allow [...]

For some men, an irritation free wet-shave is virtually impossible.  However, as I have mentioned in my electric shaving posts, foil shavers, as opposed to rotary shavers, are the most ideal for a close irritation-free shave. So here is my choice for 2009’s foil shaver…. Braun Series 7 For over 50 years this company has designed electric shavers.  Starting with the [...]

I know… I know, you’ve heard it all before.  But since I’ve done a post on the benefits of Cold Water, and also Warm Water, benefits of drinking water had to be next…right?  Hey, even “I” thought I knew all of the benefits… So here it is! Recently, researchers have started to agree that the old 8×8 rule (8 [...]

How many of you like to work out?  Yes, I know this is a blog about men’s grooming. But, for anyone who knows me, I take great pride in trying to stay healthy, from the foods I eat, to maintaining a consistent exercise habit.  So, I am going to show you how closely realted working out is [...]

I’ve received several requests and questions regarding how to properly care for shaved heads.  So I thought that I would do a re-post of an earlier post titled – You ask…I answer! This question can also be found from my Q&A page on www.craigthebarber.com. Q: What is the best way to shave my head, electric or conventional?  Also, [...]
