Shaving for Men

Shaving for men is just a fact of life. Recently there has been an increased trend for men to shave more than just their face. Body grooming for men is a fast growing industry, as us men folk start to take more care in our appearance. There are numerous shavers for men specialising in all areas of the body.

Like most things, such as skin care, this is something women have been going for ages, us men are now being to take an interest. I would say we have gone past the rise of the metro sexual as some call it, and body care and grooming for men is just the norm. There was a time only about 20 years ago that a lot of men did not use fragrances on a regular basis. Yet now most men could rattle of their favourite Aftershaves down the bar without a flicker of embarrassment. Magazines and billboards are full of rugged sportsmen like Rugby players, Soccer players advertising the latest skincare range for men.

Cyclists have been shaving their legs for ages, for safety and medical reasons. If you tear up the tarmac going down a steep hill, you don’t want hairs clogging up any cuts and brazes.

It is clear shaving for men is more than just a question of the face. For some of the more hirsute of us, a bit of personal topiary can be a personal preference or a “request” by our partner. Don’t get me wrong, not all hair is bad, and ultimately it is a personal choice, but a bit of trimming here and there and keeping the garden neat never goes a miss, and will always be appreciated by the other half.

So once you have made that decision to shave the question becomes what bits do you do? Where do you start? and, perhaps more crucially where do you stop?

This blog will be looking at all aspects of shaving for men, whether wax for men is the best solution, what sort of razors for men there are and different techniques and shavers for men that are available – from head to toe including that sensitive bit in the middle.
