“Men’s Grooming
- Barry Goldwater

Grooming habits and what is considered “good grooming” have varied greatly over time. Around 10,000 B.C., scented oils were a popular method of cleaning and softening skin and masking body odor. In ancient Egypt, kohl and red ochre featured prominently in the grooming arsenal of most men, as did a variety of skin care creams. Additionally, tribes around the world frequently used makeup in the form of dyes and paints for medicinal and cosmetic purposes as well as to psychologically prepare for battle.

In Elizabethan times, ultra-pale, powdered skin was the dernier cri in men’s grooming, as was hair bleaching. The repressive conditions of the Victorian period, however, led to a decline in the importance of men’s grooming. During the 20th century, the popularity of men’s grooming waxed and waned, but there’s no doubt today that male grooming has made a strong comeback with the market for men’s grooming products experiencing explosive growth and huge profits.

Unlike females, however, most modern men were not inducted into the world of grooming from an early age. Fortunately, we’re here to help. So, consider AskMen.com your secret weapon when it comes to grooming and be confident that anytime you have a grooming question, we’ll have the answer.

Summer is sizzling and so are men’s facial hair styles. If you don’t keep it completely clean shaven you still have to keep it well groomed. From Mustache wax to shaving cream Lucky Tiger is your one stop for all things shaving. If you are looking for a change and want to know how to achieve the latest style check out the article below and get the latest in shaving fashion.

Craig the Barber’s here to show you his top three facial hair styles for the season, including Brad Pitt’s current cut

Here are the coolest facial hair options for this summer!

Mustache

More guys are taking it all off, minus the upper lip. For many it’s because they just can’t let go of all of their hair. And for others, it’s simply embracing the increasingly popular styles of the ’50s.  

Here’s how you get it:

• Start by cleanly shaving the cheeks, chin and neck. 
• The mustache hair should not extend more than one inch past the sides of the mouth. 
• Use trimmers to trim the hairs just above the top lip.

Low Beard

Hey, some people like the fan on high (no beard), while others enjoy a subtle cool breeze! And that’s exactly what a low-cut beard gives you. It’s just a little longer than beard scuff, but enough to shape and style while allowing you to stay cooler than with a full beard. Read our guide to face shapes to see if this look will suit you.

Here’s how you get it:

1. Fade the neckline

• Use the lowest clipper setting on the bottom quarter inch of your neck to achieve the shortest length; adjust the clipper setting every quarter inch or so to achieve a smoother visual transition as you move up the neck. 
• Adjust the blade settings (with or without comb guards) to blend any lines.

2. For the cheeks

• Choose the option of a razor to define to top part of the beard. 
• Consider using the natural growth as a guide to not go below for longer face shapes. 
• For rounder faces, outlining along the cheeks can help to give the appearance of a slimmer face, resulting in a more oval shape. However this should only be done if the neckline remains faded. 

The Van Dyke

Use Brad’s style whatever your age,
and you’re guaranteed a hot summer

The go-to beard choice for all cool guys… Okay, so I’m a little biased but you can’t tell me that this style (if worn right) doesn’t look cool! Here’s a style that commands attention and is more often than not the first option men lean toward when deciding to lose the beard for the summer. 

Here’s how you get it:

• Shave the cheeks and neck, leaving the chin unshaven. 
• Cleanly shave directly below the nose, leaving a flat, thin line of hair approximately one quarter of an inch in width just above the upper lip. 
• Then, use mustache scissors or an electric trimmer to detail the moustache’s bottom line.
• Next, establish a center-top for the chin hair by marking with a razor or trimmer approximately three-quarters to one full inch below the bottom lip. 
• Create a line that extends to the left and right jaw line using the establish mark as a guide. 
• Lastly, round the corners a quarter of an inch on both sides just past the corners of the mouth.

Just remember Lucky Tiger can help you achieve these and other great looks. Get it here and know that you can keep looking hott even when summer ends!

To some men growing a Beard is a matter of choice, to others it’s a matter of birth. The men below discuss the pride of beards. Is being Bearded or non-bearded a matter of pride and disgrace or  

While Lucky Tiger can keep your look suave bearded or not what do you think of the articles and response below. Do you feel it’s true that men who can’t “grow” feel inferior or that it is trial.  Share your opinions in our comments.

Remember Beard or no beard Lucky Tiger will help you get lucky every time.

Whether it’s the artisanal food movement, which has young men looking like turn-of-the-last-century farmers, or the heritage fashion look, which has them dressing like they’re on a deer hunt, the common signifier is a mountain-man beard. Soon men won’t be allowed into the Brooklyn Flea or on the L train without at least three days’ stubble.

So imagine my frustration in living in this land of urban Grizzly Adamses, unable to grow a beard. My beard envy isn’t new, but lately it’s become a full-fledged itch as I encounter bearded men everywhere from my backyard to the wider culture. Hollywood is full of designer stubble (see: Ryan Gosling, Jake Gyllenhaal). The fashion world has embraced the hirsute look, too. Do designers think guys with beards have more fun (the male follicle version of blondes, perhaps)?

A Bearded Ryan

At 35, I can grow a decent goatee and mustache, both recent developments, but my cheeks are so prepubescent smooth, with nary a whisker pushing up, that a full beard is impossible. Apparently, I’m not the only one. I mentioned my frustration to Steven Wilson, who runs Beards.org, a Web site created to “increase awareness, appreciation and understanding of the beard.” He’s heard the story many times.

As Mr. Wilson explained to me in an e-mail, many men who suffer from this “terribly profound personal problem” are “extremely distressed” by their lack of beard-growing capability. They experience “pain and suffering” and “face ridicule” from their bearded friends. They can even be “intimidated by the sight of someone with a great beard.”

In response to the above this statement was made

 Steven Kurutz laments about his lack of facial hair (he can only grow a goatee) in an article today, which examines how bearded hipsters and baseball players have teamed up to make less hairy men insecure–insecure enough to pursue pills (from companies preying on their insecurities) and even testosterone injections (this is not advised).  And there are times where Kurutz’s self-deprecating humor makes him sound like a boy asking about puberty. ”My facial hair seems to have grown thicker in my 30s. Is it possible, I wondered, that I’ll continue to sprout whiskers and grow a beard later in life?” asked Kurutz. Well, the answer is no. But Kurutz’s sad tale begs the bigger question: What would drive a grown man to act this silly? Well, it turns out that men with beards are basically the high school jocks of the adult world and that world is their locker room.
