I made my 39 year old husband use Origins skin care, since he was starting to get deep laugh lines. He watches sports and plays computer games, but his skin looks great! He doesn't mind, but he is not about to go out and select a men's skin care line for himself at the drugstore. It is up to me to keep him in products. I am fortunate in that he does brush his own teeth :).

All Orrin needs is a raw egg in his feed once a day and his pelt is thick and glossy.

Ah yes, you're referring to "the beard" ( insert own man-date joke here.)

Isn't a beard what an "intellectual" often sports? I see them a lot on colege campuses.

As St. Clement of Alexandria wrote: "How womanly it is for one who is a man to comb himself and shave himself with a razor, for the sake of fine effect, and to arrange his hair at the mirror, shave his cheeks, pluck hairs out of them, and smooth them!…For God wished women to be smooth and to rejoice in their locks alone growing spontaneously, as a horse in his mane. But He adorned man like the lions, with a beard, and endowed him as an attribute of manhood, with a hairy chest--a sign of strength and rule.... This, then, is the mark of the man, the beard. By this, he is seen to be a man. It is older than Eve. It is the token of the superior nature….It is therefore unholy to desecrate the symbol of manhood, hairiness.... It is not lawful to pluck out the beard, man’s natural and noble adornment."

To paraphrase: What a bunch a homos.

I guess we can add "beards" to the list of things intellectuals are right about.

Intellectuals have beards of a different sort.

"Eric Rollins' idea of skin care was washing his face with the same bar of soap he used to wash the rest of his body". I've found out that washing my face first, then my rear end, has done wonders for my complexion.

I've been out of the single scene for quite some time but I hear the single woman at work/elsewhere complaining more about how men are spending more time on their face/hair/nails/etc than on what slobs men are.

OJ: Well exfoliated skin isn't only for the ladies. Lyndsey (aka The Wife) makes "Buff Man" body buffer for fellas. I should send you some. The instructions on easy to follow for us guys: "Slather, Rinse, Done."

Yes it is.

Last night while watching "The Amazing Race", one of the two boyfriends was on an Indian train bitching that he couldn't believe how long he had gone without his skin care products. Needless to say, they came in last place and they got booted from the show.

I am very proud of the fact that I usually shower every day, most of the time.

Hopefull Bart WON'T comment here. I DON'T need or want to know any more than I already know about his personal care habits!

Mr. Schwartz;

If you're showering most of the time, you probably need to take shorter showers.
