If you ever find yourself lost in the cosmetics aisle at your local drugstore — that aisle is a freaking labyrinth, dude — you know that there are all kinds of creams, balms and goops out there, characterized under all sorts of different names. Three of the...
Having dry skin can be a drag. It’s itchy, painful, and makes shaving — which already dries your skin out — even more uncomfortable. Luckily, there’s something you can do about it, starting and ending with moisturizing. Shaving dry skin is much like shaving regular skin —...
Most of us guys care dearly about the delicate kielbasa between our legs, but apparently, many of us seldom perform the comprehensive cleaning it deserves (which might explain why five percent of men are still hosing down their junk with cologne). This, of course, is how we...
