Posts with tag beards

Remember, back in olden times of yore, when razors only had two blades? Sheesh. Two blades. Puh-lease. That was before we discovered the joy of shaving our faces with three blades -- a revolution! Closer shaves, less cuts, fantastic. And that was before mankind invented razors with four blades -- which, let's be honest, has proved to be fairly pointless.

But none of these advances in whisker-wicking technology can compare to the overwhelming awesomeness of the Gillette 3000. Dudes, our time has come.

In the wake of all this talk about "Menergy," and as we head steadily toward the colder months of the year, I'm seeing beards on an increasing number of manly style icons.

You've probably noticed George Clooney sportin' the kind of thick, seemingly untamed facial fur normally reserved for collegiate peace activists and coffee shop baristas. Yesterday Jake Gyllenhaal was spotted in a top-notch suit with a scraggly pirate beard beneath his well-cropped coiffure.

A word of caution men: before you let that second day stubble blossom into the full-blown rugged look, remember that you are required to trim that bad boy. It might look like George and Jake are letting themselves go, but I assure you the look is carefully crafted. Go too long without a trim, and you won't look hot, just homeless -- and no women will speak to you.

Here's a trimmer I highlighted awhile back for when you're on the go, and here's a sturdier, more practical option for when you're at home. Use them.

If you're one of those guys whose beard always grows in patchy, or scraggly, or in some other unattractive fashion, never fear: you're no longer stuck relying on your "boyish charms." With this fake goatee, you can give yourself that manly "edge."

'Cause let's face it: beards are hot. And even better than a full beard, is the meticulously trimmed, finely-shaped, just-a-couple-days-past-stubble look of the thin goatee. While this would normally take hours of work with itty-bitty scissors or some expensive beard trimmer, you can now have the look in seconds with some paste-on hair.

Ok, I'm joking. I think this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. If a woman's only dating you because of your nerdy-looking facial fuzz, you've got bigger problems.

Nevertheless, if you want to give it a try (and can read Japanese), you can order your very on paste-on goatee here.
