Grooming Tips?

Maybe it's just because I live in a really hot place, but I don't understand why a guy ever wouldn't wear an undershirt. I'm not too intune with what girls are into, but I can't imagine that having huge sweaty pit stains your shirt is very good.

Plus, it's like a backup insurance policy, you don't need to reapply deodorant if you change your shirt, just leave the undershirt on.

Not a massive amount, but sun also helps. That's why they tell you not to go outside when you use topical solutions, because they activate some things similar to what the sun does. Always helped when I was younger.

Not that skin cancer and a wrinkley face is any better, but sunblock is a good policy anyway.

I never floss. Ever. I've also never had a cavity and wore braces for 8 years.

My doctor told me the single most important thing is to use the special braces toothpaste that is available every night. If your orthodontist doesn't give it to you already, ask for it. My dentist has told me that it was a massive protection plan for my teeth, even if I hadn't had braces.

People also never brush the back of their teeth well enough.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I have never ironed a single piece of clothing I own. I'm comfortable, and I don't have to put any effort into being comfortable. I even got a really, really good job in a wrinkled pair of pants. *shrug*

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Used the same guy for at least four years now, and it just broke the other day (noooooo ;_; ). Gotta buy a new one at the supermarket as soon as possible since I'm constantly worried that I stink now.

Colgate makes a new toothbrush, I think it's called the 360, that comes with a tongue scraper on the back of the brush. It's cool too, because as you brush the front of your teeth, it can scrub the insides of your cheeks a bit too.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
