Guide Review - Philips Norelco BodyGroom 2030

I first tried the Philips Norelco Bodygroom with the shaving attachment dry to shave my brother’s few small patches of back hair. Other times I’ve just used regular hair clippers without a guard to shave it off. I saw a huge difference in the results. While the regular clippers often left his skin pink and a with bit of stubble, this body grooming tool was definitely gentler on the skin and gave him a much closer shave thanks to the special shaving foils used. I would highly recommend this for shaving the body over using regular clippers or a standard razor!

I then asked him to use it on his body when he showered, so he could see how it works wet. Where he exactly groomed, I don’t really want to know. But he did share that he used one of the guards for trimming, and it was quick, easy and comfortable. My brother is one of those people that is always in a rush. So I wasn’t surprised when he told me that he dropped the Bodygroom in the shower a couple times. Well it kept on ticking. This is no hunk of junk, but made solid.

I love that the tool has two trimming combs that each can be easily adjusted to one of the five different lengths because many guys want to take down some body areas a bit, but make other places really short. The extra sensitive comb is suggested for cleaning up the groin area and underarms. While the extra large comb works better for trimming down large areas like your chest, legs and shoulders. And even if you want to shave all your hair totally down, trimming it shorter first before using the shaving attachment will help you get smoother results.

Men's Facial Hair Styles

Artist LeRoy Neiman is wearing a handlebar mustache that gets it name from the way it arches out on the ends like the handlebars on a bike. His is on the thicker side and somewhat mild in its bend. You may have seen pictures with these mustaches that have a full curl at each end.

Most men's mustaches won't curve out on their own. They curl the hair out and hold it in place with mustache wax (compare prices).

Joaquin Phoenix- Crazy?Beard

Joaquin Phoenix's beard is out of control. I think it looks more like a lion's mane because it's kept in such a circular shape. Combined with his sun glasses, you can hardly see his face.

The stubble beard like Christian Slater is wearing, isn't only an in-between stage for growing out to a full version. Many guys keep this look because they don't want to wear a ton of facial hair.

The good news is that you don't have to keep shaving and start over to get your perfect length. Philips Norelco Stubble Trimmer (read review) can get hair down to .04 of an inch.

Ben Affleck wears a full beard well. It's kept neat, trimmed and definitely not out-of-control. Although, it does take away his rather boyish look.

Although soul patches can vary slightly in shapes and sizes, Mario Van Peebles keeps his in a nice triangle shape. Soul patches are almost always kept on the shorter side in length, otherwise they would start looking like tails.

Since you'll only be leaving a bit of hair and shaving the rest, you want to make sure you're shaving correctly and avoid those ingrown hair. Learn more: Preventing and Treating Ingrown Hair.

The chin strap beard follows the jawline from one side of the hair line to the other that vary in width size. Sometimes, it's attached to a goatee. The modern version is trimmed short, but back in the 18th and 19th century it was worn long. Here, John Gotti Agnello dons a slim chin strap with a small soul patch.

Men's Skin Care Products

Just because you are a man, you don't have a green light to pass on taking care of your skin. With just about as many options on today's shelves for men as for women, it can get a little confusing. I can understand why so many men just forget about it and stick with the bar soap. It's time to change that old habit and finally get a couple of men's skin care products that are meant to nourish your face, not strip it of the oils it needs.

I'm making it easy for you today with only two must-have items. Grab a facial cleanser and a facial moisturizer (or protector) to use daily and you'll have much better skin.

1. Facial Cleanser

What makes a facial cleanser different than your bar of soap is the fact that soap strips your skin of everything while a cleanser simply cleans your skin but leaves the necessary oils where they belong. You might think that oils are bad, but actually your skin needs them. Skin that is too dry not only feels tight and sometimes itchy, but it also shows signs of aging faster.

If your skin shows oil quite a bit during the day, you may like to try Nivea for Men: Oil Control Purifying Face Wash to control the shine. If your skin is normal to dry, go with Zia: Hydraclean Face Wash. Both can be found at your local drugstore.

2. Facial Moisturizer

It took me forever to get my husband to use a facial moisturizer. I think many men have this mindset that lotions are for girls. But when you start using it, like my husband, you'll notice less sensitive and itchy skin. Use a moisturizer every morning after you wash and shave your face. This will not only moisturize your skin, but help heal it from any razor irritation you may have. If you find one you like with SPF protection, even better.

Those of you with normal or dry skin may like Neutrogena Men: Triple Protect Face Lotion. If your skin is on the oily side, try L'Oreal Men's: Expert Oil Controller Anti-Oiliness Moisturizer. Again, easily found at your local drug store.

Jeff Bridges is wearing what you might consider a classic goatee. Although most men also wear a mustache, one without would still be considered a goatee. Although, I'd like to see this one trimmed down in length a bit.

If you need some help getting yours even, try the Goatee Saver (compare prices).

This thin goatee is the way to go if you don't want your entire chin covered in hair, like seen on Shaquille O'Neal. Since there is such little hair on the chin, I think it would only look good connected to a mustache. The challenging part would be to make both lines even, inside and outside.

You need a good razor to keep lines looking crisp. A big favorite men's razor is Gillette Fusion (compare prices).
