Shaving Tips to Take the Chore Out of the Chore of Shaving

Image via WikipediaFor some men, the chore of shaving can be a real chore. When facial hair enters the picture, fuhgetaboutit!

This article from Metro Male titled "Men's Grooming - How to Shave Properly" gives some great tips for an easy and effective shaving/grooming session.

The Swerve – Men's Grooming Tool - New Product Review

As promised, here is a review of the Swerve, from my teen’s usage of the product.

He found the Swerve easy to use in almost all areas of his neck and face, except around the jaw/ear area and the smile creases along the corners of his mouth. I am not sure it was intended for facial shaving/grooming, but he tried it, anyway.

He loved the design and maneuverability. He had to use his other razor to get the places that the Swerve couldn’t get, but overall, he found it to be a great product he would recommend. He said it made shaving a LOT (he stressed ‘lot’) easier and quicker for him.

The product is priced very reasonably, and the design is lightweight and ergonomic.

Image via Wikipedia I have found a great men's grooming site that has product reviews on it. It is at About.com. Daniel Billet, the Men’s Fashion and Grooming Guide, has posted a list of the top six shaving cream/gels based upon his own review of each.

GoateeSaver Helps Save Your Goatee Shape Shave After Shave

I stumbled across this review of a new product for men with goatees:

GoateeSaver Ensures Your Goatee Looks as Good as a Goatee is Ever Going to Look, Which is to Say Not That Good

The GoateeSaver website has a ton of information about the adjustable grooming product, including an informative video demo. The GoateeSaver is offered at the website for $19.99.

I Got My Free Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer – How ‘Bout You?

I got my free Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer! Have you gotten yours?

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.

Sorry about the poor quality of my photo of the trimmer. If you want to see a better image, click here. It's the deep red/middle tab.

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

I don’t think y’all will get personally mailed free trimmers – some things are reserved for the Goddess, ya know. Lol. ;-)

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!

I have previously posted about sideburns, and thought it was time to do so, again. Sideburns can be incredibly sexy, and can enhance a gentleman's great looks.
