[quote=mooby;908621]LOL the funny thing is, I probably have more chest hair than you. Without saying too much, let's just say I've had no problem growing body hair as opposed to facial hair. Shaving facially once or twice a week works for me because I get a decent 1/8 inch stubble going and it's usually around that point that I decide to shave.[/quote]

Sounds like it would be a close competition. I have to trim my chest/abs/pits to avoid looking like a bear. Yet, I can't grow sideburns and don't have a single back hair.

Ah. Yeah I've got more than enough hair on my chest/stomach/arms, yet not much back hair at all. I could shave it, but I would rather leave it as is than bother with the steady upkeep.

Buster do you have any good recommendations for a decent aftershave to buy that's not too expensive?

Aqua Velva

[quote=mredskins;908930]Aqua Velva[/quote]

Great choice actually. My wife loves the smell too, plus the Ice Blue version makes your face feel like ice...great in the summer.

My list if great AS you can buy at your local drugstore, I have used all of these:

*Pinaud Clubman (my favorite scent, wife loves it too)
*Pinaud Bay Rum
*Pinaud Special Reserve (musk scent)
*Aqua Velva Ice Blue
*Aqua Velva Musk (orange)
*Brut
*Old Spice

Actually wearing Brut today. You might think it's going to be a bad flashback to when you hit puberty and loaded up on it, but if you wear it properly and don't bathe in it, it smells great.

Pinaud also makes one called Lilac Vegetal...AVOID AT ALL COSTS. it has a horrible reputation on every shaving forum for spelling like cat urine. Someone threw a sample of it into some blades I ordered once and I can confirm, it DOES smell like cat urine, not even joking.

I really recommend the Clubman. It has an old barbershop scent and my barber and many others still use their products.

I really say, take $20 and go to CVS, Rite-Aid, Walgreens, whatever you have and get this list for a nice rotation with variety:

*Clubman
*AV Ice Blue
*AV Musk

I love Clubman too. Need to try AV Musk.

I HATE Old Spice, still have a bottle from like a year ago. I rather throw toilet water on my face then that.

I hate the NEW formula of Old Spice since Proctor and Gamble bought them.

However I did a little research and there is a knock-off brand of it that you can buy at [B]Family Dollar[/B] stores of all places that uses the old Shulton recipe and it smells GREAT...very different than the crap that's sold in actual Old Spice bottles.

You have to look at the bottom of the bottle. If it's made by [B]Vi-Jon[/B], it's the GOOD stuff. I was skeptical too, but when I spent the $1.54 for a bottle, I loved it. The brand name Old Spice smells bad to me.

Looks like this:

I'm currently observing No Shave November!!

[quote=NC_Skins;968311]I'm currently observing No Shave November!![/quote]i was there for about the first 2 weeks, then i remembered that i'm up for an interview any time now, so i scaled it back to movember.

i didn't know that movember has a real purpose. my dad had prostate cancer, so i figure i am honoring him while (hopefully) raising awareness and encouraging guys to get checked.

[quote=Monkeydad;968513]Nope. Not a bum.[/quote]nope. you're not einstein :cheeky-sm
