Grooming

[RooftopAssassin]

I was wondering what my fellow Escapists went through to keep themselves looking good.

Some of the routines you do?
The products you use?
Any protips?
How often do you get haircuts?
How often do you shave?
Exercise?

And anything you may think that is related.

I'll give some examples:

To start off, I shave and wash my face every morning. I also like to weight train a little and I like working my muscles more than cardio, but I do get the occasional jog in. I brush my teeth after every meal. Then, I usually take my shower at night.

Some products I use:
-Axe Shampoo and conditioner
-Crest Toothpaste with baking soda & peroxide
-Clean & Clear 3-in-1 Acne wash
-Some kind of Dial bodywash
and some others

P.S.- You don't have to go into this much detail.

Dude, no offense, but I hang out on an internet forum. I do not look anywhere near good.

Heh, I shampoo my hair and shave every week. Since I am still young, my facial hair doesn't grow to bad.

And the way I style my hair, is with a towel, however it makes it, I leaves it.

Um, I use Lynx as a deodorant but I have some nicer smelling stuff for when I go out.

Um, yes exercise, brush teeth twice daily, um, soap, all that jazz.

You... don't... take showers or anything? Just kidding.

That part was really just sarcasm and I didn't really expect a lot of people to reply. Many people don't like to talk about this sort of thing on a forum.

I like to keep my hair clean.
I have really long hair (for a man) and I wash it once every 2 days.
I use shampoo and conditioner, but I don't really care about the brand (mostly dove).
Every day, I brush my teeth 3 times, using 2 toothpastes, a tonguescraper and mouthwash.
I also wash myself twice everyday at the sink and take a bath twice a week.
That's pretty much it I guess.

Antiperspirant > deodorant.

I use witch hazel after I shave as an astringent (it also disinfects). I'm desperately clinging to the Aveda hair products I got for free. I also started managing my eyebrow in high school, now I have two! I also try not to over shampoo my hair and avoid bar soap.

I did

 

[Tourette]

I shower every morning when I get up then shave as my stubble is softened by the warm shower then brush my teeth followed by mouthwash. I do hot shave on my days off from work if I am having a lazy day indoors.
I trim my nasal hair when it needs it and the same goes for the hair on the back of my neck. I always file my nails and keep them clean as my job requires me to look immaculate at all times.

 

[WolfThomas]

I just super-heat my entire body, sterilizing it so I don't need to shower.

Why not just take a bath in alkohol? Just kidding. =)

I do the normal stuff: Shower, soap, shampoo, hair product,hair gel, all that stuff.

 

[Latinidiot]

Let's see. I shave when I get enough angry looks to notice something is wrong, Take 2 minutes to style ze hair.
Oh yeah, I shower every 2 days, more would be a waste of water.
ehm..
That's it, I guess.

Some of the routines you do?
The products you use?
Any protips?
How often do you get haircuts?
How often do you shave?
Exercise?

Responses in the order presented:
-Just a shower and maybe some brushing
-Shampoo, condition, color restorer, microbead shower gel and some pumice face scrub. No make up (except on special occasions).
-Whenever my hair grows a few inches below the base of my neck (which is every month and a half or so).
-No need. Use and exfoliating pad which removes hair every few days.
-I swim regularly followed by a dip in the jacuzzi. Really helps the skin.

PROTIP: If you can handle it, take a really hot shower or bath. It does wonders for your skin and through successive doings will get rid of some of the stuff stuck in your pores.

i have a hippy look about me

and i get a haircut about once or twice per year, one of my friends pointed out i look like shaggy off scobby doo with longer hair

 

[Mrrrgggrlllrrrg]

Wake up, shower, brush teeth, mouthwash, meet the day head on.
Shampoo, soap, mouthwash, and tooth paste.
Every month
I shave when it's hot, let the beard grow when its cold
lift weights every other week at least, run and play with my golden retriever (its fun and gets him sleepy)

PROTIP: Don't get soft.

 

[ShrooM_DoughKiD]

Wake up (at about 10am) morning coffee, smoke and facebook update.
Shower, bodywash (not soap, or old spice I hate the smell of that crap) wash my face. Shave once a week.
Moderate intensity work out for about half an hour, 6 days a week.
Haircuts; whenever I don't like the look of my hair or I can't style it the way I want.

Protip; don't have hair gel? try conditioner. works wonders. but only on dry hair.

Sadly, being a girl means you have to look perfect/somewhat decent all the time, which in my case is damn hard work, so I think I've given up taking pressure and just going for the 'me' look.

Some of the routines you do - Go riding last thing at night, then shower, sort hair in the morning (straighten etc)...

The products you use - Any make up by Barry or Max-factor, none of this expensive MAC rubbish

How often do you get haircuts - When I can afford them I guess, but I often cut my own fringe and layers

Exercise - I ride once a day and try to run every other day, but the running never seems to work out and the riding more exercise than anyone could possibly want

 

[The Rockerfly]

Wake up at about 6 or earlier
Do paper round
Drink a glass of water then a glass of orange juice
Go to the gym intense weights monday, tuesday, rest wednesday, cardio thursday and friday, rest and then weights for saturday.
Showever using soap on my body, wash my hair, use body was over the soap (soap doesn't actually smell that nice)
Shave everyday
Wash my face twice a week
Get out the shower and brush my teeth then using talcum powder on my balls
Haircut is have an inch off verywhere and have layers
Use aftershave if I am seeing my girlfriend or going out with some pretty girls (just to say no, lulz)

Protip: Use moisturizer, your mates may call you a fag but chances are they use it and it makes you feel more awake and is really good for your skin

i have a hair brush.
thats it.

i have a hippy look about me

and i get a haircut about once or twice per year, one of my friends pointed out i look like shaggy off scobby doo with longer hair

same!, minus the hippy bit.

 

[El Poncho]

Shampoo and conditioner.

I shave when I can be bothered, i'm just 10x more lazy than usual at the moment.

 

[Guest_Star]

I shower almost every morning (when I got the time).
Skin my head every 3rd month (tho I sometimes just trim it using the machine).
I shave once or twice a year (but trim the beard every other week).
Exercise 2-3 times a week to avoid back problems and to avoid getting fat(er).
That's it.
