Men’s grooming and so on

[desertchrome]

Aside from the standard practices we all either do or hope to do, what other kinds of things do you guys do to look/smell better?

I think most of us shave or do hair removal. I definitely do shave my own chest/abs/pubes because it just straight up looks better.

I’ve been using tallow balm on skin and dollar for dollar it beats the fuck out of injecting GHK, which I get nothing from.

Have a ton of fragrances. Cologne, perfume, whatever you want to call it. I really got into that shit during Covid, but I have a partner with a sensitive nose so the crazy ones are just for me.

My big grooming gap is probably shampoo. I keep my hair short and have been using head and shoulders since high school, even though now I don’t have a problem with dandruff. Def need to find some more shampoo.

i find my natural funk attracts prospective mates so these are the only areas i never wash

Head & shoulders has some more interesting smells these days than just their standard.

I got some compliments recently just wearing old spice night panther deodorant and some beard oil that’s mostly tea tree with the faintest patchouli note (doesn’t smell like a dirty hippy )

And I’m a fat old ogre so it was a miracle a woman out of my league even got close enough to smell me, let alone tell me I smelled amazing. On that tip- if someone can smell you without getting close enough that your wife/gf’s hackles go up you put on too much.

That’s a technicality though- you can bang em there just won’t be any risk of pregnancy from ‘mating’. Win/win

I’m done trying to “ look good for the ladies”. I keep myself clean but gave up on shaving my upper body, never did shave my legs. Sure, i trim shit or else I realistically look like an Orangutan but im sick of the vanity shit. I hear most women prefer some hair anyway. People who shave everything and obsess that much about themselves are egotistical assholes anyway, male or female. The obvious exception is anyone who is competing, and that’s only about 1% of the gym population!

I have to admit when I first unfatted I shaved everything because I was so in love with looking at my striations now that I could see them. that wore off after about 3 months. Now I just run wild... DHT induced shoulder hair and all.

Hahaha I’m not a full sweater but had shoulder hair before gear. I trim enough that tank top straps don’t disappear into the jungle but no full shave that’s too much work!

It's ironic. Most guys worry about losing hair on DHT derivs...I worry about gaining it.

Im at the age where I really dont care too much anymore (still trim a few places)...besides, thanks to hereditary balding, its nice to have hair anywhere at all. Ok, anywhere but the ears and eyebrow.

This kinda looks like me the older I get, just add long ass nose hairs.

[mikeh1998]

tirz 5 mg per week

finacea gel, tretinoin every evening

SPF 15 in winter, 30-60 in summer

don't use moisturizer / use it sparingly

use mascara/eyelash serum to make eyelashes look better

use 2 dots concealer to improve under eye colouring

use 5-AR blockers/don't use highly androgenic hair wrecking steroids like masteron

if using steroids, or if prone to body acne, use benozyl peroxide 4% before every shower, leave on for at least one minute, rinse thoroughly. change shirts multiple times per day.

shampoo rarely, use very light amount of conditioner after every shower

to style hair dampen first, then comb then apply strong mattifying paste only using hands so that there's a natural look, using the comb after applying paste makes it uneven and looks worse

I don't use a hair dryer b.c. I'm too lazy to learn and end up frying my hair with it

use nose hair trimmer once in a while, shave entire upper body and pubic area once per month, take care of shaving cuts using polysporin to prevent scarring

shave face every other day if you have an actual jawline and cheekbones

use derma planer eyebrows almost daily, I have too much to ever use tweezers

using beef tallow or injecting "skincare peptides" makes you a sheep btw

 

[desertchrome]

this the kinda shit I was hoping for. but tallow does make my skin look good so I’m gonna keep that. MT-2 is also the real deal. But yeah GHK-Cu more and more seems like a scam to me.

I have ketoconozole cream and some Plexion shampoo from a run in I had with seb derm last year, and I’ll do a dime size of that every other week or whatever when I shower. The ketoconozole goes on whenever I get an itchy or flaky spot, whether I think it’s seb derm or not.

also I am not sure I like the super matte paste. I have some hanz de fuko “claymation” and it’s too much. strongly prefer my Davines pliable paste.

I run HGH and try to take advantage of the increased collagen synthesis in skin with a collagen promoting protocol. I also do some gymnastics specific tendon strengthening in my programing and this helps with that as well. I have blasted through some crazy chronic tendonitis. Load a tendon in a way that forces it to start remodeling, and give it all the tools it needs to grow healthy tissue.

HGH
Vitamin C and Zinc supplement
Hydrolyzed collagen peptide powder
Oral Hyaluronic Acid
Injectable L-Carn / Alcarn blend

That protocol gives me more than just skin benefits

I also use a Nira laser on my face and shoulder stretchmarks. Just started. I'll talk about results if there are any

I use Retin-A 3-4 times a week on my face. Just started using it on stretch marks.

I microneedle with injectable Hyaron about every 10 days (Derminator 2)

Good moisturizer

I wear a sun visor in the car so I don't squint and make lines in my forehead and nose bridge

I use alba kukui nut oil as a body moisturizer after I shower. Splash some of it on and squeegee it around with my hands.

Hair:
2% keto shampoo 4-5 times a week

Oral minox 2.5mg daily

Happy Head 8% topical minox, duta, fin, and some other active ingredients.
I microneedle my scalp once a week. This has worked really well for me. I've stopped taking oral fin. If you want to try it, dm me. There is a referral code to get a free bottle to try.

Facial hair:

I shave with an Andis electric trimmer "zero gapped". I don't use a razor blade on my face.

I use Cirepil hard wax or a generic equivalent to wax my ears, eyebrows, nose and inside my nostrils about every 2 weeks or before an important fuck.

I don't fuck with my body hair. If a bitch doesn't like it, she can literally eat a hairy dick.
