Aside from the standard stuff we all do (or at least try to do), what else are you guys doing to stay looking and smelling sharp?
I’m assuming most of us handle hair removal in some capacity. I personally shave my chest, abs, and everything else downstairs because, let's be honest, it just looks way better that way.
Lately, I've been using tallow balm on my skin. Honestly, dollar for dollar, it's so much better than injecting GHK. I never got anything out of the GHK, but the tallow is a game changer for skin quality.
I’ve also built up a massive collection of fragrances. Call it cologne, perfume, whatever - I really went down that rabbit hole during the Covid lockdowns. My partner has a super sensitive nose though, so I have to save the really wild scents for when I'm just hanging out by myself.
If I have a major gap in my routine, it’s definitely shampoo. I keep my hair pretty short and I've basically been using Head & Shoulders since high school. I don't even have dandruff anymore, so I really need to find something better and actually move on to a decent brand.
What are some of your best beauty or grooming tips? I'm curious to see what everyone else is using.
man ditch the head & shoulders asap!! it literally strips everything out of your hair. if its short anyway just get some decent salon brand like redken or even just a moisturizing bar soap. your scalp will thank u lol.
tallow is actually the goat. i started using it last winter and my skin stopped peeling for the first time in years. for the fragrances- maybe try some "skin scents" or lighter stuff like moleclue 01? my girl is the same way and she doesnt mind that one at all since its super subtle.
i finally bit the bullet and started getting back hair waxed... hurts like a bitch but way better than trying to shave it yourself and missing spots. for the shampoo i really like the puresology stuff but its pricey. honestly anything without sulfates is gonna be an upgrade from h&s.
the covid hobby of collecting cologne is so real lol. i have like 30 bottles now. if u want a tip- start using a tongue scraper if u dont already. sounds gross but it makes a huge difference in "smelling sharp" overall especially if u eat a high protein diet.
lol head and shoulders is basically dish soap for your head. just go to target and grab some native or something simple without all the harsh chemicals. also if u shave your chest/abs try using a leaf razor- saves so much money on blades and keeps the skin way smoother without the bumps.
