For special occasions I'll splurge on a shave and cut ($26).
It's cool too because I goto a old fashioned style barber, so everything they do is on point. Pre shave lotion, hot towel, remove towel, warm shaving cream, shave, warm towel again, then they apply after-shave, followed by a cold towel to finish it off. My pores are straight pulsating after. The best shavers though, you could literally not find a spec a stubble after.
I have a beard.
I still enjoy a nice hot shave on my head.
Beard + shaved head = manliest look
I used to go once a month to this fancy place in Malaysia (Trufit & Hill, I think the name was) for a head shave. Same thing tbt describes, great feeling and you feel excellent afterwards. Only problem was that it was expensive.
In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
