In order to provide you with the best How To Get The Perfect Shave tutorial I went to the Men’s Grooming experts I know, love and highly respect. They’re none other than the amazing guys from Be Better Guys.

How To Get A Perfect Shave

First, you must have the following items on hand : A sharp razor, Shaving cream or soap, Warm water and A steady hand.

The razor. You’ll choose based upon looks and sex appeal (think of the great commercials!), but it’s the performance that matters. Different beards and skin types will do better with different blade configurations. It you have a light beard or sensitive skin, too many sharp things scraping you skin isn’t a good idea, so a twin blade might be just fine. If you’re as hairy as a bear, you need all the cutting surfaces you can get.

What To Wear On A First Date : Shirts

Casual shirts selections : Don’t go too bold. Lightweight and neutral colors that would go nicely underneath a blazer as well as stand on it’s own if you ever feel the need to take off your blazer at certain point in your date.

The Esquire magazine editors are releasing a book called “The Handbook Of Style : A Man’s Guide To Looking Good” on January 2009.

Don’t think the book is another way to tell Men what and how to look good. Nick Sullivan, Esquire’s fashion director said, while opinions do matter and everyone  sure have their own, the book is most importantly a guide in dressing and the primer elements in Men’s fashion and styling.

You’ll find important advice on everything from what cuts of suits fits specifically for you, the right trousers for your built, travel tips, grooming guidelines and more.

Other helpful tips & tricks from Esquire’s The Handbook of Style:

Do you ever get that day when you can’t decide which color scheme you want to wear? Or wanting all the colors for that matter. Let’s hope you only want to 3 colors. Oh gosh. When that day comes, follow Alexander Skarsgard’s lead. He wore a bright green shirt, which is surprisingly toned-down version of a bright green color. The denim jeans of course, and canvas sneakers (assuming Converse), with 2 different colored laces. One is blue, the other one is red. How creative, how fabulous!

No, I’m not being sarcastic. I really think it looks cool :).

When was the last time you opened the car for your Lady? Let alone help her out of the car? Look at Ashton Kutcher, looking all hot by the way, helping his wife Demi Moore out of the car. Awwwwww. Notice Ashton’s 2-toned wing tips (shoes)?

I really like his suit and print shirt. It’s clean and very well put together. He hasn’t looked this suave in a long time. He’s been rugged, and eccentric so it’s nice to see him in this nice clean, monochromatic look. Plus like I said, Ashton is showing that Chivalry Ain’t Dead. Thank Goodness :).

Being the Best Man to a wedding doesn’t mean just organizing The Bachelor’s party. Your responsibility as a Best Man may not be as complicated, scary, interesting, and a “make my pre-wedding life a happy one or else” responsibility like what’s expected from the Maid Of Honor, it’s still a responsibility, nonetheless.

So what else do you need to do to be the Best Man you can be? GroomGroove.com outlined a list of what’s exactly expected from a Best Man. A list? Oh relax, it’s not a lot.

They missed one important task though. Writing and delivering a good Best Man Speech. But, feel free to check out the list.

You love your friends and I hope they know that. I’m pretty sure they love you too. But how do you express that without being accused of something else? Just an innocent Man Hug of course. Some Men are afraid to do it. They get uncomfortable for some reason. Women hug each other all the time. Men on the other hand, not so much. Maybe because they don’t know the proper way to give a Man Hug. Well, fret not more. Here’s a video showing you how to Man Hug. Pay Attention!

See, that wasn’t so hard, is it? Now go apply what you’ve just learned :).

Just in time for swimming season. I hope you learn something from the joke

Bubba liked to frequent the old swimming hole but was never able to attract the girls.

He decided to ask his friend Billy-Bob for advice.

 
“It’s those big baggy swimming trunks that make you look like an old fool. They’re years outta style. Your best bet is to grab yourself a pair of Speedos, about two sizes too little, and drop a fist-sized tater down inside them. I’m telling ya man…you’ll have all the babes you want!”

The following weekend, Bubba hits the swimming hole with his spanking new tight Speedos, and his fist-sized potato.
Everybody at the swimming hole was disgusted as he walked by, covering their faces, turning away, laughing, looking sick!

Bubba went back to his buddy Billy-Bob and asked him, “What’s wrong now?” “Lard-Almighty Bubba!” said Billy-Bob, “the tater goes in the front!”

Is it just me or is there something totally wrong with this metallic 3-piece suit that’s not really a 3-piece suit? Oh I don’t know, the jeans maybe? I guess in a way Emile Hirsch thought wearing the matching metallic pants would be going overboard. Well, everything shiny from top to bottom is overboard but why go for it in the first place? Why not just wear something dark like black or heather gray and go for the entire 3-piece suit. I’m just confused with the idea of a tuxedo jacket, vest and white crisp shirt with jeans. Maybe if the Speed Racer star nixed the jacket, I wouldn’t be so confused this Monday morning.
