RazorsDirect Razor Donation Program Helps Less Fortunate
Since the beginning of 2010, RazorsDirect.com has been growing their highly successful "One-for-One Pledge" razor donation program. In turn, they have helped hundreds of underprivileged people obtain the clean, smooth shave that they so greatly deserve.
The "One-for-One Pledge" program by RazorsDirect.com donates one disposable razor to a local charity group or non-profit for every order the company receives through its online store.
"People often forget that there is a large need for grooming products--especially razors--at places like homeless shelters, clinics, and halfway houses. We receive letters of gratitude from our donation locations all the time, telling us powerful stories of hope--the huge difference our razors have made in the lives of their residents.
"It doesn't sound like much, but a clean shave can make a very large impact. A shaved face and smoothly shaved legs present a more sophisticated and qualified job applicant to employers; it also allows the confidence within that applicant to shine--companies see that and are more willing to hire that person."
"Know a guy who is clueless when it comes to his hair...or are you one? Does your Dad have a comb over that he thinks looks natural, but is definitely not fooling anyone? Maybe your co-worker wears a toupee that is a different color than his normal hair, or is constantly out of place on his head. Is your husband's moustache outdated and you're ready for him to change it (or even get rid of it)? If there's a guy in your life who has a "do" that's really a "don't"...we're a national TV show and we want to hear about it! Please include your name, age, phone number and a recent photo."
There's a trend toward manscaping these days, with a lot of men looking into how they can remove the hair from their back and chest, most often through waxing. But waxing isn't the only option.
"it's reportedly been around since ancient Egyptian times, when women removed hair to look virginal. The paste is made from sugar, water and lemon and is rolled into a ball, which the technician (a.k.a. sugarer) rolls over the area where the hair is to be removed and flips it up sharply to remove the hair.
So why sugar instead of wax? I'll tell you why. For starters, it's much less painful than waxing."
"Most likely the razor blade you are currently using is designed to fail long before it's potential. EverBlade is designed to keep that same razor sharp - maximizing it's fullest potential.
Studies have shown that razor blades stay sharp 4 to 8 times longer using EverBlade.This saves hundreds of dollars a year. Plus, it gives the pleasure of many more fresh shaves with less cuts, nicks and razor burn. Additionally, EverBlade keeps billions of razor blades and their packaging out of our landfills.
How it works: The EverBlade's patent pending technology creates an energy field that gives blades a negative charge - so blades automatically repel the rust ions that would otherwise corrode and dull your razor. This is the leading cause of blade failure. Use EverBlade with any razor - even disposable razors."
"It was only a matter of time before the world of male grooming was thrust under media spotlight and an acclaimed documentary film director and Academy Award nominee is giving our US readers (apologies to the rest) the chance to be the start of a definitive documentary on male grooming.
They are looking for men who take grooming to an entirely new level,men who are obsessed with the care of their skin, their hair, their nails, their eyebrows and their body hair.
We're not talking about the man who is partial to the occasional use of moisturiser, we're talking men who have more products than most women and cannot leave the house without looking immaculate.
This may be a bit much for most gents, but if you are interested in being part of this comprehensive documentary on the changing world of male grooming, send a brief email about you, your contact number and a picture to: MensGroomingdoc@gmail.com"
"When Beckham started wearing rosary beads, Top Man put them on their shelves. Thierry Henry pulled his socks up over his knees and within weeks, the Sunday league was awash with woollen suspender-wearers. Cesc Fàbregas, Fernando Torres and Joe Hart decide to have their eyebrows shaped and suddenly British men are plucking, waxing and threading like centrefolds. Wayne Rooney shaved his head and... best to leave it there.
The eyebrows, however, are something of a phenomenon."

It's always good to hear from the World of Female:
"For me, the words sexy and beards are mutually exclusive. However, being someone willing to be converted, I set about this assignment for hirsute hotties and bearded babes with an open mind. Of course, sexy does not have to mean classically good looking...
Beards have signified wisdom and dignity in many cultures for thousands of years and some thought beards represented virility and proved a man was a 'real' man. Alexander the Great may have agreed, but he still ordered his armies to be clean shaven in case enemies used beards to grab and hold onto a soldier and kill him."
Regularly $199.99, this electric razor is going for only $88.70, a savings of over $111.00!
"The Panasonic Arc IV Nanotech Shaver offers remarkable shaving on the first pass. Equipped with a quadruple foil and four cutting blades, the cutting surface of this shaver has been expanded by 32 percent, offering a better shave with each stroke. The blades are powered by Panasonic's linear motor, which operates at an amazingly fast rate so even the thickest beards or no match for this shaver.
Innovative Technology Provides the Best Shave: Nanotechnology was used to polish the industry's sharpest 30-degree blades to achieve even better cutting performance. This razor's expanded cutting surface not only provides an efficient shave, but it also spreads the pressure, which naturally occurs when applying the shaver to the skin, so users have found it to perform without the irritation found on lesser models. The fourth finishing blade provides an additional cutting opportunity not found on triple-blade shavers. In addition, the foils and blades on this razor are "arced" so they nestle gently into the skin for our closest shave ever. The foil glides evenly for uniform shaving on all surfaces of the face.
Get Great Shaving Results with Ultra Speed:At the heart of razor lies Panasonic's patented Linear Motor. It operates at an amazingly fast 13,000 rpm to cut through the thickest of beards. Standard razors operate at a pedestrian 8,000 to 10,000 rpm. To top it all off, this razor also features wet/dry operation, so you can use it in the convenience of your shower or for dry shaving when you have less time. A liquid crystal display indicates battery charge level by 10 steps and a cleaning reminder. It also comes equipped with a convenient travel case.
There is nothing slow about this razor. Even clean-up is at hyper speed. Simply hold the razor under running water and activate the Turbo mode. The razor accelerates up to 17,000 RPM and vibrates off any remaining whiskers."

From Salon, the real-life adventure of having a male Brazilian wax (ouch!):
"Spa professionals had assured me that waxing isn't that painful. But men's hair is coarser and thicker than women's, and the follicles deeper, which accounts for the spa legend that men make more noise than women when waxed. What got me, though, was the contrast between Janea's dainty, tender application of the wax and the brute force with which she ripped it off. She threw my leg over her little shoulder, like a sports therapist, and began raining baby powder down on the target areas. The pain was almost unbearable. "Why am I doing this?" I thought, staring at the elaborate, cherub-accented ceiling. Meanwhile, Janea modestly described the emboldening effects her Brazilians and personal advice have had on clients like Vanessa Williams, Naomi Campbell and Gwyneth Paltrow, but also on men like sometime actor and former pro ball player Rick Fox and, yes, Christopher Hitchens."
