There you are, standing in front of the bathroom mirror with your razor in your hand, ready to do the same annoying thing you’ve done (almost) every day since the last day of puberty: Shave your face. Considering that the average man shaves 20,000 times in his...
Us guys, we can put up with a lot of mildly irritating stuff: Hair that inexplicably grows on our toes (and ears, and out of our noses), shaving our faces 20,000 times (on average) in our lifetimes and, of course, a crotch area that, no matter how...
Like many of us, you may be using quarantine as an opportunity to experiment with your facial hair. And like many of us, you may be, well, disappointed with the less-than-magnificent result. It can be easy to disparage your own looks, though, and you might just need...
