guys: wax/pluck/trim/manicure

Former Member

Which of you do these things?
How metrosexual are you on a scale of 1 to 10?

What are your top beauty tips, GUYS? haha I know many men don't care ... but I was bored of seeing female only threads on this thing, and thought it was about time us guys had one

Former Member

What do you do James?

Former Member

me, I trim me downstairs dreadlocks and because of an ex who booked me into some kind of facial a few years ago, I kinda like plucking my eyebrows when they sprout in dodgy directions

Former Member

I use moisturiser every couple of days or so when I remember.

I pluck the odd hair from moles (they are just nasty).

I've never had a facial, but I have had a manicure a while back - not strictly my idea but it was quite nice.

Oh, and I've had a few aromatherapy massages in my time too.

So all in all a bit of a poof.

Former Member

I'm totally in favour of men looking after their appearance. ALL men should pluck any protruding nostril hairs out immediately!

Overgrown armpit hair also needs to be sorted out! And another thing, you know some guys, often darker haired ones, get hair sort of on their upper cheeks? Get it threaded!

You shouldn't pluck...could be dangerous...you should always cut when there's a mole involved!! :yes:

Incase the mole-hair's connected to the... down there

and the down there's connected to the ... ass hair



I expect cancerous moles they were referring to

Former Member

I don't do a whole lot of those things. I clip my toe nails (but bite my finger nails, which is a nasty habit, but can't help it).
Out of the ordinary things is, I use a face soap and skin cleaning thingy solution and usually re-fatting cream afterwards, because I am prone to have dry skin easily (sensitive skin type).

About trimming, pubes, from time to time, not religiously, and armpit hair in summer.

no waxing, plucking, or manicuring...

My doctor said that is fine to pluck a mole as long as it is flat and not raised or angry looking. The above agrees as well.

Former Member

I wax between my boyfriend's eyebrows and tidy them up generally. And he trims 'down there'. And he uses facial cleanser (and nicks my facewipes all the time :banghead: ) And he cuts his finger and toenails.

Not too metro then

Former Member

I like a bloke to look after themselves but not too prissy. Keep eyebrows, down below and armpits tidy, nails clean and short and facial hair (clean shaven or not) looking good.

I do that as well of course, and file them afterwards.

Former Member

I use moisturiser and I shave and cut my nails.

How gay.

Ok, he doesn't file them. And he does it sitting on the edge of the bed 'into the bin' only it doesn't always happen like that :rolleyes:

Former Member

I think that any mens facial routine that includes exfoliation or cucumbers is bordering on too much.

Former Member

I've been out with so many metro men. I think its nice when they look after themselves and moisturise, keep their nails looking good etc. I know a very fit rugby player who does the 3 step clinique routine.

A build up of dead skin cells or anyones skin isn't very nice.

Former Member

Ok, well, I guess men can exfoliate then.... the just can't LIKE it.

That is deeply unpleasant, I wouldnt stand for that if I were you.

I would give the yeti a run for his money on body hair. I had my back waxed once and I didnt mind it but strangly missed the feling of the wind blowing across my back and feeling my back hair dance.

That has left me with one of the nastier mental images I've had in a very long time.

My boyfriend is part of the 'what's wrong with using soap on your face?' generation. Awwh

there's nothing wrong with using soap on your face...


I moisturise after I shave, keep my nails trimmed... wash my face with some nutrogena stuff. nothing out of the ordinary really.

I'm not particularly hairy, so I have no back hair to worry about.

Former Member

as a beauty therapist, i see lots of men as clients and i think its rather manly that they care about there body and appearance and bascially dont give a shit! i no my bf loves having good beauty treatments from me!

Former Member

I shave, face and hands.

Same :yes:

My boyfriend is very much into facials now I've forced him into having them. He doesn't do things of his own accord though, only when I force him *tuts*. He's asked me to wax inbetween his eyebrows before now though. More men should do things like this IMO, nothing wrong with looking good

Anyone else hate the term metrosexual? Sounds like something Bridget Bradshaw would say over a cocktail

My boyfriend tends to keep his eyebrows tidy, but not overly plucked. He has some hair over his natural beardline so I pluck that for him. Nails are always clean, he moisturises, trims any hair away that he considers excess. And he wears a sarong during the summer months.

Former Member

I get my eyebrows done and a facial about once a month and I mositurise.

In no way does mean I like a penis up my jaxxy :no:
