(ThyBlackMan.com) Let’s face it, some of us simply get lazy when it comes to shaving and we leave our facial hair growing for a little longer than we would like. Perhaps we give ourselves an excuse such as wanting to grow a beard or maybe we like the idea of facial hair. However, there are plenty of reasons to start shaving again, and here are just a couple of them to convince you to replace that old razor.
Get a fresh and clean appearance
Even if you don’t know how to shave, there’s no excuse not to freshen yourself up by visiting a barbershop or asking a friend to help you. Although some people quite enjoy their stubble, it needs to be trimmed on a regular basis to keep it from growing too wild and going out of control. If you learn to shave at home, then it can be a fantastic way to freshen yourself up before you tackle the day. A clean-shaven appearance is sure to give you a boost of confidence and you might even turn a few heads as you commute to work.
Give yourself a youthful appearance
Clean-shaven men no doubt look a lot more youthful than their grizzly counterparts. In fact, regular shaving actually stimulates the production of collagen in your skin cells, effectively reducing wrinkles and making you look more youthful. A younger appearance has many advantages such as boosting your confidence and making yourself more attractive. In fact, these manscaping tips will make any woman swoon and give you a huge motivational boost when you head out for your next date.
Shaving for work and sports reasons
Have you ever wondered why sporting professionals tend to shave? If you’re a bodybuilder or regularly show off your body, then having less body hair highlights the muscles on your body and gives people a clearer view of your determination and hard work. If you swim for work or as a hobby, then having less body hair makes you swim slightly faster due to having less resistance. It also removes a dead layer of skin, allowing the swimmer to have a better feel for the water.
Exfoliating the skin
Due to the contact with the razor, shaving actually helps to exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells. Combined with a face scrub and cream, your face could get a beautiful shine that will last for a long time. Dead skin cells should be removed on a regular basis, and shaving helps you do it with relative ease. However, be warned that your skin is much more sensitive after shaving, necessitating the use of aftershave or skincare cream. Be sure to only go to the best barber shop in San Diego for a quick shaving and skin exfoliation.
It doesn’t take a long time
Once you get past your fears of using a razor (or the idea of shaving in general) you’ll find that shaving doesn’t take a very long time. Like most tasks in life, the more you do it the more proficient you become, resulting in faster shaving times and less time wasted. Invest some effort, read some guides and practice.
