Facial Hair Types

…that is the question.

Hair growing from your ears is one of those oddities that just seems to come with age.  It could be that ear hair is one of those dormant genes reserved for manifestation only upon maturation of the average male.  Maybe it’s just an evolutionary throwback to times when monkeys throwing feces at each other for amusement required some kind of protection for their hearing canals.

For the foreseeable future, ear hair is likely to remain with our species until body hair falls out of fashion as a sculpting medium.  As a result, we are talking facial hair types on this blog so expanding the content to managing wild follicular growths on any surface people are regularly looking at just seems to make sense.

What to do about the hair?  Well you could let nature take it’s course and give Radhakant Bajpaj a run for the record books, but there may be an awkward stage where ladies won’t be drawn to your appearance and the supportive friends you have might just be keeping you around as a circus act.  Is this type of hair production considered a curse or blessing?

Best to just nip that hair growth in the bud.  Best options to date are obviously a specialized ear hair shaver or trimmer, or finding someone willing to pluck each of those embarrassing hairs from your aural cavities.  Ear hair trimmers can be purchased at your nearest big box store for under $20, and were designed to chew through the coarse greasy hairs of both nose and ear.  Design of these trimmers is also manly enough to justify purchase without the awkwardness usually accompanying shopping for any personal type items and one of the best ear hair trimmers out there is the Mangroomer.

Trim that ear hair back and have people focus on that well crafted moustache.

Who would have thunk it?  Let’s see if this site can be livened up a little.  Maybe revise a little of the content to inject some personality into the writing.

In the meantime, if you notice issues related to service…it’s only because we’re diligently working in the background to clean up the site a little.

If you are a smoker and you have a mustache and a beard, then this article is definitely for you. The exhaled smoke from the cigarette leaves a brownish stain on the moustache which is difficult to remove. Here are some tips on how you can remove those unsightly brownish stains from your moustache and beard.

You can trim down all the tar stained hair off the moustache. Use a clarifying shampoo to wash your entire mustache and repeat this several times until the stain has been reduced or completely removed.

You can also use a smoker’s toothpaste and apply it to your moustache. If you want to increase the bleaching power of the toothpaste, you can add baking soda to it. You can repeat this process until the stain is removed or unrecognizable.

Hydrogen peroxide is a good bleaching agent and it is also mild. Get a clean toothbrush and brush on the hydrogen peroxide on the moustache and leave it for several minutes before you rinse. If you want to accelerate the bleaching process, you can sit under the sun.

If all the mentioned process doesn’t work, you can buy a bleach for facial hair. This bleach is a cream that can lighten the color of the facial hair so you should apply this only to the stained area. Follow the instruction manual carefully when using this product.

If you are a heavy smoker and the nicotine stains still persist, then you can opt for mustache coloring. The packaging has the instructions on how you can use the facial hair coloring properly.

When you hear of shaving brushes, you always think of barbers applying the shaving cream with a shaving brush on your neck and then they use a single blade razor. Now you can do this at home, you just have to buy and get yourself a shaving brush. Here are some tips on where and how you can buy these shaving brushes.

You can go online and find an upscale shaving store website where you can find a shaving brush. These brushes are beautifully hand crafted which makes it a perfect Father’s Day gift, a birthday gift or a gift for your boss.

There are already shaving stores where you can find all the equipments, creams, lotions, moisturizers and so much more for grooming and shaving. You can definitely find a good shaving brush on these stores. You can also check them online to see what stores are located near your place.

The next time you go to a barber, ask him if he is selling shaving brushes especially if he is an old time barber and you are a regular customer. They will even give you advice and tips on how they use these shaving brushes to easily lather on the neck, chin and jaw.

You can always check out yard sale and tag sale for these shaving brushes. Look for old fashioned dop kit for these shaving brushes. You can buy them at a very low and reasonable price.

Non-foaming creams for shaving are preferred by some men because they are not alcohol based and these creams do not dry out the skin. These are actually shaving gels, and as a gel will quickly penetrate your whiskery layer and coat your face prior to shaving.  Some men who constantly use non-foaming cream or gels, say that it offers more lubrication and protection for their skin. They can also use the product in the shower without washing it away prematurely.

Here are instructions on how you can properly use the non-foaming cream when you shave.  You can start by washing your face with soap and warm water. The warm water will help in opening up the pores of your skin and the hair follicles. The warm water will also soften your facial hair or prickly stubble.

You can now get your non-foaming cream and apply it to the area you want to shave. The advantage of non-foaming cream is that they work well with water. It will not rinse off easily like the foam cream, so if you want to shave while in the shower or you are in the tub… this is the perfect shaving cream for you.

Most non-foaming shaving cream are glycerine based instead of alcohol based so it will further moisturize your skin even before you actually do your shaving. So it can be a good practice to apply it on your skin and leave it there for a couple of minutes before you start shaving.

The right type of razor is also important when using a non-foaming cream. Do not buy those cheap single blade razors that can easily cut or nick your skin. Choose the multi-bladed razors that has a moisturizing strip. This can give you a very smooth and clean shave. Another option is a water proof electric razor which also works well with the non-foaming cream.  I haven’t done the electric shaver in the shower just yet, but that’s only because I don’t like picking the caked together whiskers out of the grille.

You always have to shave against the direction of the hair growth and use smooth and light strokes. You can also repeat the strokes even without re-applying the cream.

After you are finished shaving, you have to rinse off all the non-foam cream. This is important especially if you are planning on putting on soothing lotion to your skin.
