Try Baking Soda :!: When you fill your sink with hot water for your shave, try adding a tablespoon or so of baking soda to the water. Swish it around with your brush and let it soak for a few seconds so that the brush gets the new water (your brush should have already been soaking in regular hot wat...

Yes, it's true. I look at some of the SOTD entries, and they're a mile long list of products, potions and lotions. That may work well for some guys and, for them I say "more power to you". For most of us, though, a simple kit is all we need. As Dominic points out, that's pretty hard to gr...

Someone here turned me onto the Colorscience Powder. The stuff is amazing. With every other sunblock I've used, I have always known that I'm wearing sunblock. Even facial moisturizers with a small amount of sunblock in them make me feel greasy. The Colorscience product is excellent. You put it on an...

Instead of using olive oil try coconut oil. It's supposed to be better for your hair and it is actually easier to use as it is solid at room temperature. As soon as you put it in your hands your body heat will start to melt it making it much easier and less messy to apply instead of olive oil. You m...

I also have a tea tree oil face wash that i use twice a day. It took while to clear up my face though. It isn't as drying as other otc acne medicatio...

Chris Fisher put me onto Colorescience's Sunforgettable SPF 30 sunscreen powder. This is a white, unscented zinc-based powder you apply with a brush. It is colorless, odorless, and is virtually undetectable on the skin, but it provides excellent protection from UVA and UVB rays. I find it is excell...

Coppertone. It's the smell of the beach in a bottle. Actually most sunscreens are ok to use. Just make sure it's PABA free and blocks UVA/UVB. 25-35 SPF should be sufficient. If you have sensitive skin then you have to do a little more searching. When i use to play water polo i use to use this stuff...

Just use the Rogain Foam and get a prescription for Propecia (or Proscar and cut the pills :)). Or just look into a hair transplant, it's only $10,000.
