Grooming Tips?

If you think you might get bad breath, go buy a tongue scraper. We bought one for my dad a long while back and the improvement was instant. Shortly afterwards I bought one for myself since my best friend had really rough bad breath and I started to become really self conscious about it worrying that maybe mine was bad and I just didn't notice. 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.

Also, I totally agree with BM. I don't know why any guy would wear a shirt without an undershirt. When it's cold out, you get an extra layer for warmth. When it's hot out, your undershirt will stick to you, but your other one won't (at least, not as noticably). It's also good if you get pit stains because they're on cheap undershirts instead of your normal shirts.

And for whoever it was above that was asking about glasses, bring a person or two whose sense of style either agrees with your own or you can trust to do a good guess at what kind of glasses you'd like instead of what they like. When I go shopping for new glasses I can't really see myself in them (have to be within 4" of the mirror to get a good view, so I can't really see how I look overall), so I really need someone else's help to do it. Also, don't worry about lenses being too small; I've had really big lenses as well as tiny ones and you get used to it either way. The only problem is if they aren't wide enough and you can't see out your passenger-side mirror in your car. I hated having to constantly turn my head to look out that one.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No clue if they do, but are there electric razors for women? I've found that my electric can give me a pretty darned close shave and there's no need for any sort of shaving gel or special treatment with it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I think alot of you would benefit from reading this:

oh, I guess I can't post urls. Hmm. I'll do it in code.

I'll toss it into quotes for you since it is a pretty well-written article. I've read a few other people on other forums talk about how much they enjoy shaving themselves in a style smilar to that and i've always thought about taking it up, but I've always wondered exactly how much time it takes to do one of those sorts of shaves. Also, if it's really worth it since my hair tends to grow in super-slow (apparently it's hereditary in my mom's family) and odds are I won't need to shave more than every other day or so. How much does it cost to actually give that whole deal a shot?

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

My barber at home actually uses a straight razor for a bit of my trims (along the sideburns and back of my neck) and I don't really like the feel of it a whole lot. I'm not sure if it's just because he doesn't take super-good care of it (which would come as a huge surprise to me) or if I'm just not used to the feeling, but I can feel every little hair as it's being cut. Maybe it's just me using an electric.

BM, I'll have to buy that brush the next time I'm at the store since my current one is getting pretty worn out anyway.

Edit: Also, while brushing my teeth this morning, I remembered the guy that posted about how he lets the foamy stuff from brushing his teeth sit on there for a minute. That's actually a really good idea since the stuff inside your toothpaste takes at least 45 seconds to have an appreciable absorption by your teeth. That's why whenever your dentist brushes your teeth you have to sit there for a few minutes after he finishes before you're allowed to rinse. I've started a regime of brushing my teeth first, then washing my face, scraping my tongue, and doing everything else before I rinse my mouth out now.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
