We've all heard of the Zen of "x" or the Zen of "y", and believe it or not the Zen of men's grooming actually does exist! As men, we are not taught at any stage of our lives about grooming. Somehow we're just supposed to magically figure out what to do when it comes to shaving, skin care, body hair trimming, hair maintenance, etc. It's just fantastic to think that girls at a very early age, are playing with makeup and watching (and learning) how mama cleans her skin every night. All boys are taught to do is wash their hands and brush their teeth before going to bed! When it comes to boys, maybe they see father shaving in the morning, but most likely they're busy getting dressed and eating breakfast. Suddenly, puberty hits, the facial hair starts coming in, and the pimples start appearing. With no talk about such things from family or friends, and seeing how the media caters to teenage girls clearing their skin, what is a young man to do$%: Maybe, just maybe, the father will see that his son needs a shaving lesson and some help with clearing his skin. But I ask, are the fathers of the world teaching their sons how to shave, how to take care of their skin, how to look their best$%: I would like to say YES, but I fear that in most households that is NOT going on. Fathers of the world must start teaching their sons good grooming techniques so it's not such a mystery. There's more than throwing the football, playing video games etc., that can be shared between father and son.
Hopefully as an adult you've taken the time to find out how to take care of your grooming needs. You've learned how to get the perfect shave (whether it be a wet or electric shave); how to keep your skin looking great; in general, how to look your best.
