Men's Toiletries

2012-10-10T22:53:50Z

I'm sure women's toiletries are worse, but I'm always boggled by men's toiletries.

I know I've ranted about this before, but it seems bizarre that if you try to find shaving foam you find bottles blazoned "ACME SUPER ENDURANCE MJOLNIR GEL" or "AJAX HYPER MANLY FOAM", but nowhere anywhere on the front of the bottle does it seem to say "shave". Seriously, I want to give you money, all you have to do it not hide from it!

I also see, manly toiletry companies have started selling SHOWER TOOLS, which seems to be a euphemism for "We'll package loofahs up in streamlined black plastic that looks dynamic and sell them based on how macho they are or die trying".

Shaved head ✓

I keep resolving to keep it shaved, but keep not making the time to keep it short. I am getting slowly better at it, although the concave spot at the back of my head is still hard to get right.

I completely shaved my head again.

It's surprisingly easy to do at all, since the head is mostly big and
flat and hard. But surprisingly hard to do well. Using a headblade razor helps a lot because
you don't have to worry you've got the angle completely wrong. But
it's still easy to nick spots, and to leave a little tuft in a fold at
the back of my head which is (a) the only concave bit and (b) at the
worst possible viewing angle.
