"The best reason I can think of for not running for president of the United States is that you have to shave twice a day."
- Adlai E. Stevenson
Shaving one’s face was once a simple matter involving a brush, soap, mirror and razor -- but shaving today involves a few more choices. The volume of lotions, creams and gels one can use, along with tips for achieving a close shave grows each year. For AskMen.com, these choices also include the option of getting a barber shop shave -- or a straight-blade shave on the streets of Morocco. Other men prefer a less than clean-shaven look, choosing instead to creatively groom their facial hair with the help of clippers and beard shavers.
Then, of course, there is the matter of shaving below the chin... with some men opting to depilate their shoulders, backs, chests and of course their genital region.
No matter which areas or styles you prefer, you’ll have to deal with the prospect of razor burn and rashes. To prevent these, you’ll need to build the perfect shaving kit with all the necessary accoutrements.
