Now, I get that a lot of guys do not feel this way about dancing.  I suppose that makes sense.  Most guys are not born with a sense of a beat or the rhythm necessary to make us great dancers, but that is no reason to sit in the corner and stay out of all the fun is it?

No, what you need if you do not have fun out on the dance floor is to really loosen up.  How do you do that?  Well, obviously if you have fun with it, it will loosen you up a bit.  The infographic below shows you some sweet dance moves that can get you in the mood to party.

Not only do you have the possibility to sport a manly beard, but think about all of the fun and exciting ways you can groom and wear your facial hair.  I mean the mustache alone has a ton of variations.  Add in the goatee, the soul patch, and the chin strap and you could look like a new dude every day with your different style.

Yep, being a guy is pretty great.  Being a guy with fantastic facial hair is even greater.  If you are worried about what style of facial hair looks the best on your face shape, or if you just want to know more about the awesomeness that is manly facial hair, check out the infographic below.  I am pretty sure you are going to like what you see.   No, change that, you are pretty much going to love it.

I get that some men get all they need from a barber shop.  If you are in the military, like a buzzed look, or whatever, then I get it.  But the thing for most men is that we all would like for our hair to look a certain way, but we have a difficult time articulating exactly what we are looking for.  If you are tired of getting the same bad haircut every time, then follow these tips to make sure your hair looks its best.

1. Find a salon for you.  The best way to do this, is by asking around.  Of course, men don’t like to talk to other men about getting their haircut.  Man up, and ask someone if you like their hair.  Tell them that your current stylist has moved or something, just ask.  I got lucky because my girl did that part for me.  Maybe your mom, sister, girlfriend/wife, or co-worker can give you an idea.
2. Find out what cut you want.  Look in movies, magazines, or online for an idea of the cut you are looking for.  Once you find it, get a picture to take with you.  This way there is less of a chance for a mess up.
3. Tip your stylist.  It is always appropriate to tip your stylist.  It is even more appropriate when you really like the job he or she did on your hair.

What you will need:  a classic two-button suit in navy or grey, a pressed white dress shirt, nice tie, black or brown oxfords, dark-wash denim trousers, casual top (polo/sweater depending on weather), casual shoes (not exercise shoes), swimsuit or exercise shorts, t-shirt, exercise shoes, three pair of underwear and socks.  Remember you watch, belt, and a carryall along with your grooming kit, electronics, chargers, and business cards.

Hints:  I cannot stress this enough, make sure your shoes are in a separate bag in your suitcase.  When dirt and other grime ends up on your clothes, you will regret not taking this step.

The clothes that don’t wrinkle easily need to be placed on the bottom of your suitcase, like jeans and t-shirts.  Roll them for extra anti-wrinkle power.

Pack a swimsuit with you for double uses.  You can take advantage of the hotel’s pool and wear the suit with your tee to the workout facilities.

Finally, keep all of your grooming products and liquids in a resealable bag that won’t allow leaks.

My girlfriend has a jar of Vaseline above the sink that she uses for dry skin on her legs but can also be used to make my workout more comfortable.  Before I go to the gym in the afternoon, I rub some Vaseline on my feet and the backs of my heels before I put on my socks and shoes.  I started this process right after I had a case of athlete’s foot and the skin on my feet was particularly dry.  After a few days I discovered that this mystery cream somehow kept my feet from smelling as bad as they normally do after I return from the gym, something my gal appreciated as well.  By putting the Vaseline on my heels, my socks and shoes didn’t rub nearly as much against my skin, leaving my feet looking much less worn.

When I run out of aftershave, of course not having the forethought to buy more ahead of time, I usually reach for the facial moisturizer my girlfriend uses on her skin. It’s unscented so I don’t have to worry about smelling like lilacs for the rest of the day and it has just enough moisture to prevent my face from feeling dry and itchy after shaving.  Another shaving trick I swipe from my lady is her moisturized razor blades that I put on a manly blue razor to preserve my pride.  You may be thinking that those gel moisture triple blade inventions you use now are great, but the ladies are holding back their secrets.  Those moisture strips make the shaving experience much more pleasant and leave my skin feeling a lot healthier than other products.

And I make be a little embarrassed about this last tip but I just can’t keep it to myself.  Give yourself a manicure.  My girlfriend keeps a small kit with clippers and other devices that I can’t name in our bathroom and every once in a while I’ll take a few minute to really clean up my fingers and it is completely worth it.  I feel much more sanitary and I look more professional at business meetings amongst the men who aren’t embarrassed to pay for a manicure.  You can learn from the women in your life and from those girly shows you see on Dish Network and other programming to put on manly touch on those feminine traditions.

So, how did we get from there to here?  What once was a properly executed means of male grooming has been reduced to cheap and often dull, disposable utensils that neither do the job they are meant to do, nor point to any reasonable hope that things will improve in the future.  Just like in the case of adt security, shaving may find its most valuable link in the past. Here, for your viewing pleasure, is the history of shaving:

When watching, keep in mind that the oil is just one route to take.  I prefer to use a gel cream with a shaving brush to get the hairs on my face to stand and to provide some exfoliation too, as I have pretty oily skin.  The best thing to do is to find what works for you and your skin, and you won’t have to dread the thought of shaving any longer.  If you have any tips, feel free to add them in the comments!

Speaking of new products and neediness, I’m seeking some advice beyond a commercial advertisement regarding the right kind of moisturizer for my skin.  I’m a fairly hairy individual so shaving my neck every day can leave a lot of dry skin that is then covered by more hair by nightfall.  I’ve been using the Gillette Energizing Moisture cream lately and I do believe it would work quite well for the typical chap, but I think I could use something a little thicker.  I’ve discovered that if I can’t still feel the moisture on my skin after about 10 minutes, it’s no use.  Since I am incredibly skeptical of the media and overworked amateur blogs, I have come to you, reader, for some sound advice.  I’m looking for a solution that doesn’t necessarily have to be something found on a Walgreen’s shelf just anywhere.  Exotic and slightly expensive is fine by me as long as it gets the job done.  The only request I have, despite my previous rants about how I don’t care if something may seem a bit feminine because I’m such a confident man, is that it isn’t a women’s product because we all know how potent those scents can be.  Gender neutral or excessively manly are the best options.  I’ve seen a lot of odd products out there and I’m not opposed to any of them, that is excluding any ones that I tried and decided were awful.  The world of male moisturizing is at my fingertips, and I am ready to lather it on.

What you will need:  You will of course need three polo shirts and depending on the weather you should carry along with you a long sleeve sweater.  Two pair of shorts and pants, and two casual dinner shirts.  Obviously golf shoes are necessary, but remember to include some loafers or casual shoes for dinner or drinks.  Don’t for get your baseball hat and extra golf gloves too.

Hints:  Keep your golf shoes in a shoe bag.  You can find these at any sports store or luggage store.  Or you can use an old pillowcase to lug them in.

The knit shirts that you pack will save you some space and travel better if you roll them instead of folding them.

Fold your khaki pants and shorts, do not roll them.

Make sure that you bring plenty of changes of socks and underwear.  Your feet are going to need quite a few sock changes, and if it’s hot, you’re definitely going to want to change up the underwear.

Collared shirts and khakis are pretty much mandatory for any respectable golf course, unless it’s a dog track.  Please, leave the denim at home and make sure that all of the shirts you bring to golf in have a collar.

Check up with the course before-hand regarding golf shoes because most of them nowadays prohibit the use of metal spikes.  If all you have are metal spikes, then you have a great reason to go and buy a new pair of golf shoes.  Don’t pass that opportunity up.

Lastly, you’re going to be outside in the sun for at least four hours a round, so bring some sunblock to avoid crispy lobster colored skin.  You’ll be glad you brought it.
