Going out for a meal this evening so Sunday grooming is starting early. Didn't get to do a full routine last week so got some heavier manscaping ahead of me.
This weeks tip is about a piece of equipment every guy should have in his kit bag (wash bag) - a pair of tweezers. Not only are they great for getting rid of stray eyebrows, nose hair or god forbid, horrible dark ear hairs, but they are crucial in the fight against ingrowing hairs.
As we trim and shave etc, we will have short hair re growth. The pubic hair in particular is coarse and curls meaning it has ample opportunity to grow inwards. Keep an eye on any little bumps or spots forming which could be be as a result of ingrowing hairs. Get to them quickly and the remedy is simple.
Use a pair of tweezers to take hold of the offending hair, as near to the root as possible. Firmly, but slowly (too fast and you're likely to snap it and make the problem worse) pull the hair straight up and out. Clean the area with anti bac soap or give it a quick wipe of tcp. The area should heal swiftly and cause no further bother.
Of course, leave it and you're certain to have a painful spot to remove and the risk of infection.
Tweezers vary in price. I have a pair by 'tweezerman' which cost 12, but you can pick them up in your supermarket for 1 as well.
Share your tips as you groom today guys, and don't be shy. Feel free to share your pics on the group.
