men's shaving



"The best reason I can think of for not running for president of the United States is that you have to shave twice a day."
- Adlai E. Stevenson

Shaving one’s face was once a simple matter involving a brush, soap, mirror and razor -- but shaving today involves a few more choices. The volume of lotions, creams and gels one can use, along with tips for achieving a close shave grows each year. For AskMen.com, these choices also include the option of getting a barber shop shave -- or a straight-blade shave on the streets of Morocco. Other men prefer a less than clean-shaven look, choosing instead to creatively groom their facial hair with the help of clippers and beard shavers.

Then, of course, there is the matter of shaving below the chin... with some men opting to depilate their shoulders, backs, chests and of course their genital region.

No matter which areas or styles you prefer, you’ll have to deal with the prospect of razor burn and rashes. To prevent these, you’ll need to build the perfect shaving kit with all the necessary accoutrements.

SHAVING ON AM

After a great haircut the single most important aspect of grooming for a man is a close shave. A variety of elements, from your skin type to where you live, and from the lotions and creams you use to the quality of your razor and stroke technique contribute to the shave you get. And if you’re among the 30% of men who prefer an electric shave, then you’ve got a few more factors to consider, such as foil versus rotary and dry versus wet electric shavers. Whatever your preference, you can trust AM to keep you up to date on the latest advances in shaving.


SHAVING FACT

Men spend an average of five months of their lives shaving. (Are you really that surprised? You shouldn’t be. After all, it is believed that 90% of all men shave at least once per day. Some even shave twice in one session, while others insist on shaving after an early morning shower and then again before dinner.)
