Honoring Top Boy Scout Merit Badge Earner Shawn Goldsmith

BSA universal emblemImage via WikipediaIn the news is a story about Shawn Goldsmith accomplishing a rare feat. The Long Island, New York resident earned all 121 merit badges in the Boy Scouts of America program.

Not only is this a notable achievement, but unless my eyes and the photo lie, Shawn Goldsmith is growing some decent scruff – which makes him blogable, too!

Think I could get the Boy Scouts of America organization to create a ‘facial hair’ badge?

In September, Coleman Carter of Amarillo, Texas also earned all 121 merit badges.

Congratulations to each of these stellar young men, and all young men who participate so diligently in the Boy Scouts of America program.

With Facial Hair or Clean-Shaven - Which Celebrity Look is Better?

I believe that most men look better with some type of facial hair. That being said, it must also be the right style for their face and it must be kept well-groomed.

This photo essay from FoxNews features photos of various celebrities with and without facial hair. I think most look better with facial hair - what do YOU think?

BONUS:

Hugh Jackman was named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. The cover photo shows him sporting scruff. While he is attractive with or without facial hair, I think he looks better with facial hair. Perhaps it is the facial hair that helped earn him the title, eh?

Welcome to Movember! Grow a Mustache and Support Prostate Cancer Awareness

MoustacheImage via WikipediaLast year was the first time I had ever heard of 'Movember'. I posted about it here (click on that link to watch a funny Movember video), and am proud to support the cause.

Movember is all about growing a mustache to show your support of Prostate Cancer awareness and research to find a cure. One commenter on another site asked what ribbon men get for Movember, since women get a pink ribbon for the Breast Cancer cause. Another commenter replied the mustache was their ribbon.

I am not going to grow my mustache for the cause (sorry guys), but I will support the cause in other ways.

This blog post from Nico at AlfajOr.com gives some interesting information about Movember - and is the source of the 'ribbon' comment.

Want to know more about Movember and how to participate? Go to the official Movember site and select your country to register. Through the site you can find groups and events in your area, learn about contests, and donate to the cause.

The article did not use a photo of him sporting said beard, but I found one elsewhere:

Mustache Shaving Really is Torture

Municipality of Beijing/PekingImage via WikipediaSome interesting news from around the world has been coming out lately in regards to mustaches.

In Beijing, Chinese officials have created booklets with rules for grooming, dress, and conduct during the Olympics for its citizens. One of the rules is that every male must shave every day. They are not to be in public unshaven.

Multiple reports have come out about members of Hamas who captured a Fatah operative and shaved off his mustache as part of their torture and humiliation process.

The Milk Mustache - Ladies and Superheroes Sport 'Staches




I have always loved the milk mustache ads. This is one of the few ways respectable ladies can sport a 'stache - and be cool at the same time.

The latest milk mustache celeb is a lady - Country singer Trisha Yearwood.
Many other famous ladies have sported the milk mustache, as well.

Even my fantasy man, BATMAN has proved he really can be more sexy by sporting a 'stache - of the milk persuasion.

View more milk mustache images HERE.

I wonder who among my friends won the pool for how long it would take me to find a way to tie Batman in with this blog? lol.

The milk mustache ads are not where the campaign for milk stops. To find out more about the drink milk campaign, click HERE.

Did you know that Vitamins A and B-12 along with Biotin help hair growth? If you want to improve your facial hair, these nutrients in the proper amounts can help, and all of these nutrients are found in milk.

Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer Review

Photo © Daniella Nicole






















It only took one use to sell my teen on the new Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer. He tried out all of the features and had a great time doing so. He loves new gadgets, so the fun, gadget aspect of the trimmer was a sure winner.

He has tried many different razors, including electric ones, and he told me that he got a better shave from the Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer than he has ever had. I felt his face, and I can testify his statement is true. He got a very close shave that left his face feeling baby smooth.

One thing he really loves is that he can now get areas of his face and jaw line he had problems with before. No more missed patches of hair.

This trimmer took grooming to a whole new level for my teen. He used the features not only to shave, but to trim and shape his sideburns, too.

The Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer has a nice solid feel, with a perfect-sized non-slip grip. It has a little bit of weight to it, while still being light-weight, which is nice.

My teen loves this product so much he is going to recommend it to his dad, and all of his friends.

I have never seen my son so excited about shaving except when his first facial hair grew in. I think he is going to have a lot of fun growing in, shaping, trimming, and shaving off various facial hair styles over the course of the coming months.

Fantastic product, and thank you Schick for the freebie! You’ve made my teen and his mama very happy.

My teen will be using it this coming week, and giving me his feedback to share with y’all. Lemme tell ya, this thing is a beauty! I almost wish I had a beard so I could play with this thing! It seriously looks like a fun new gadget!

It has special features so it can shave, edge, and trim your glorious facial hair. The trimmer is adjustable. It is really hot looking, and the battery is included. I had better stop now, or I will ruin my teen’s review!

Anyway, if you have not gotten your FREE trimmer, be sure to get one. This thing really does look promising (and fun to use).

Check out the details about how to get your own FREE Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer HERE.

PS. I think the Schick Rep personally sent out mine – there was a hand-written note from him. Thanks, A!

Scientific Fact: Men with Facial Hair are Best

Photo © Chance Agrella
An interesting study was done that has results that support what I have claimed for a long time. In an article titled “Women Prefer Men with Stubble for Love, Sex, and Marriage” by Roger Dobson, some interesting details about the study are revealed.

Faces of men with various stages of facial hair growth were shown to women who were then asked to rate them in terms of their perceived masculinity, potential as a long term partner, and social maturity, among other things.

The men who got the highest ratings were those who had light stubble. Clean-shaven men got the lowest ratings. The study was conducted with Brits, and the researchers plan to expand the study to include other countries as well.

I wonder how I can participate? Bearded men will definitely get higher marks with me than stubbly men, which leaves me wondering if in America I would be the exception or the rule?

So, as I have always said, men with facial hair are ultra sexy and desirable – and this study from England just proved it!

Get a FREE Quattro Titanium Trimmer from SCHICK

I have fabulous news, my darlings!

Yesterday I was contacted by a Schick representative who had an offer for me and my readers.

Get a FREE Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer in the mail by visiting www.trimflixx.com and making your own "video clip". Its really more like a game you play where you click on a few options and watch the results as a "video clip". It only takes a minute or so to do. Once you are done, click on 'SAVE' and look for the checkbox that says "Throw in a free razor". Be sure to click the checkbox if you want your free Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer.

If you play, be sure to post here that you did, along with your reaction to the game and the offer. Once you get the trimmer, be sure to let us know what you think. I, and others here would love to read your feedback. I will be getting a trimmer shortly, and I will also be posting a review about it.

No, I won't be reviewing how it works on my beard (*laugh*) - I have a teenaged shaver in my home who will be using it on his beard.

Here is how the Schick Rep described the Quattro Titanium Trimmer:
"[It] is unlike any other razor on the market. It's a pretty slick gadget, and as someone with complicated facial hair and a love of gadgetry - it is much appreciated (not to mention super-useful). It has a four blade razor and an edging blade on one end, and a trimmer on the other. It's kind of brilliant."


Now, go get busy making funny video clips and ordering your free trimmers!

Possible New Feature on Dani: Greek Goddess of Men's Facial Hair Website

Photo and Screenshot © Daniella Nicole










I have subscribed to Google on YouTube, and their latest videos are about a new social networking program they are launching. It would basically allow any site to be a "social networking" site.

I can see some pros and cons with using it. Those who enjoy the Greek Goddess website and blog could network with other men's facial hair aficionados - getting inside info on contests, clubs, new products, etc. Single men and women who enjoy the site may find love or a date who enjoys a man's facial hair - no getting told to shave!

The downside would be concerns related to Google tracking.

I won't bore you with all the technical videos, but if you are interested, more info is here:

Google Friend Connect - Part 1 (11:41)*the volume is really low
Google Friend Connect - Part 2 (18:14)
Google Friend Connect - Part 3 (12:12)
Google Friend Connect - Part 4 (15:50)

Here are my questions for you:

If I installed Google Friend Connect on the Greek Goddess Website, would you use it? Why or Why Not?

What would you consider to be your top three concerns regarding social networking sites/features?

The Goatee That Isn't a Goatee

Photo © Chance Agrella
Though commonly called a 'goatee', the facial hair that is below the mouth and includes a mustache is not a goatee, but technically a 'Van Dyke'. The common misuage of the name has made the term 'Goatee' an accepted name for the Van Dyke style, though hair professionals and other familiar with both styles and terms tend to differentiate between the two.

If you are asking for help with shaving or styling it may be important to keep the difference in mind.

I personally prefer the look of a Van Dyke over that of a Goatee, however, I have seen some men who were able to pull it off.

With that in mind, here are some quick links to info about Goatees and Van Dykes.

Shave with Olive Oil

While I was looking for how-to videos on YouTube, I came across this how-to video clip from VideoJug. Even though in the example it uses a woman's legs, it should also be applicable to a man's face.

What do YOU think? Have you ever shaved with olive oil? If you have, or if you decide to try this, please post about your experience in the comments section. Thanks!

I found a video online from itnsource that shows highlights from the World Beard and Mustache Championships held in Carson City, Nevada in 2003. I have embedded it below so you can see some of the amazing facial hair that has been grown. Its quite fascinating.

The Secret Life of Men with Facial Hair

When I first saw this video all I could think about was the number of men who actually 'play' like this in the bathroom. Tell me true, gentlemen, how many of you have done this in some form (like with shaving cream, as you are shaving, etc)?

By the way, you can buy a kit that allows you to see how various facial hair types would look. I couldn't find the one I once saw online, but I did find a site that sells various fake facial hair sets for those who want to play. If I find the original site I was thinking of, I will update this post with a link to it.
