"Wow!! You smell good... what are you wearing?" No, it's not Armani... I think to myself, as that also has been asked several times. I simply respond, "I have no idea, it may be this blue bottle I have at home. I don't know what it's called though." With a smile on my face, I know what they are smelling... a clean man!

Floss and brush your teeth. (Mouthwash optional)

Start by washing and rinsing your hair, then wet your washcloth (not a reusable sponge) and wash your face. This way your pores aren't open when you rinse your hair creating zits from soap.

Squeeze a generous amount of body wash on your washcloth and lather all over chest, arms, armpits, genitals, buttocks, legs, and feet last.

You can also tap a small amount of powder on your toes if you are active most days and your shoes don't breath. Feet tend to sweat and can become itchy as moisture and dark places can create fungi.

Don't be afraid to use your beard trimmer between your eyes or use pluckers at first to welcome two eyebrows. Unibrow is a no-no even if it's hardly noticeable. Don't forget to splash your preferred aftershave on or any skin creams that you use.

If you chose antiperspirant with deodorant it may make your armpits on shirts yellow and deodorant alone may not be strong enough. Bleach your white tees every so often to get the yellow stains out if you enjoy the longevity of armpit scent.

It's great if you have a variety, that way your hair stays on edge, and works with you. Trying out different kinds for your hair type can make a huge difference. Maybe your hair holds with your desired preference in front but it's not strong enough to hold the stubborn hairs in the center. Use a stronger product such as wax to hold down the impossible and create the carefree look overall with paste.

Five sprays maximum, two on the arm rubbed together, one on each side of neckline, and last one on outside shirt. Mix up your scents every so often, it gets boring once you can't smell it anymore because you've become immune to it. That's one mistake people make when they can't smell quite as strong anymore. They will spray double making it unpleasant for others as they walk by. Change it up so you can smell it as fresh as everyone else!

Question

Why should we comb our hair?

Community Answer

For longer hair, it keeps the knots out. For short hair, such as a buzz cut, its not necessary.

Question

How do I use shower gel?

Community Answer

Since shower gel is essentially liquid bath soap, you just apply some to your hand, froth it up, and scrub it all over your body. Then rinse.

Don't break routine no matter what. It saves time once you've memorized it. Running around the house without a plan will have you forget things or not have time for them.

Don't powder the inside of leather shoes. Be forewarned that the powder may sweat or stick to the soles of the shoe.
