A good regimen of daily, weekly, and monthly grooming habits as it pertains to facial and body hair should be adopted by both men and women for a number of reasons. Good personal hygiene habits are essential to maintain a good physical appearance and, consequently, good levels of self-confidence and self-esteem. Plus, when you look, smell, and feel good, you’re more likely to attract others, whether as an employer, friend, or lover.
Start with the right tools
The first step in good personal hair care begins with choosing the tools to trim, shave and style your hair. You have several options, including a manual razor, an electric razor, and a beard trimmer, as well as a body shaver. You may also want to purchase a nose trimmer, as long as your nose hair tends to grow longer than normal.
separate the tools
It is important to emphasize that the tools used for facial hair should be different from those used for body hair. It’s not just about being picky about your grooming habits, but more importantly, each hair care tool is designed with a specific purpose in mind. For example, body shavers are designed with special attachments that make it safe, quick, and easy to shave hard-to-reach areas without the benefit of a mirror. A curved attachment can be used to shave your back, which is one of the grooming habits that many men fail to learn due to their reluctance to ask their girlfriends or wives for help.
Yet another reason to use a different tool for each part of the body is good hygiene. Think of it this way: To stay true to your self-care principles, you’ll use a beard trimmer for your face and a body shaver for your body the same way you use separate soaps for your face and body. Also, do you really want to put on a body shaver that has been used on your sexual organs and maybe your anal area to touch the sensitive areas near your mouth? We don’t think so either.
Matter of time
And then there is the question of time in your grooming habits. The general rules for trimming facial and body hair are:
- Expensive – Every day, unless you’re growing a beard, mustache, or goatee, in which case, as needed to keep you looking well-groomed, not scruffy. Arguably, this is the must-have part of your daily grooming routine.
- Behind – Every 2 to 3 weeks
- Neck – Every 2 weeks so there is only about ¼ inch of growth
- Chest- Every 2-3 weeks, though you can make it shorter or longer depending on how your girlfriend or wife likes their chest hair to rub against their sensitive breasts.
- Eyebrows- Every 2-4 weeks, although many men fail at this part of the grooming regimen. It seems that a pair of perfectly plucked eyebrows is almost effeminate; each to his own, we always say.
- Nose- Trim as needed, but always make sure it’s part of your regular grooming routine.
- sexual organ – Trim as needed and to desired length. This is where you can break the self-care rules regarding hair, keep it longer or shorter than usual or go completely bald – it’s your choice.
In the end, the specific steps and tools you use as part of your grooming routine are your personal choice. Just remember that you will be judged based on your choices, so choose wisely.
