- Llanowar, on 10/04/2008, -1/+25For me it is very simple, in regards to the cut gal anyway.
If she doesn't like my style she simply isn't a right girl for me anyway.
Same when it comes to social life. If they don't like my style I'll most likely won't like their style.
Of course when it comes to career it is a sad thing indeed that you can't look the way you want to look. - inactive, on 10/05/2008, -9/+33I'll cut that list down to three.
Shave
Shower
Deodorant
Anything else is gay. - whataboutdave, on 10/04/2008, -5/+28Grown men ought to know how to tie neckties.

- bipolarruledout, on 10/05/2008, -0/+10These kind of articles always sound a lot better than they really are for some reason.
- nymphetamine, on 10/05/2008, -2/+12***** ties.
- sgtbutterscotch, on 10/04/2008, -0/+9yes, but 4 different ways? i dugg this solely for that section.

- Chompy, on 10/05/2008, -0/+9Shave your head; that takes care of the haircut thing.

- GARussell, on 10/05/2008, -0/+8No kidding, there is a website forum of guys who love to shave using a brush, cream from a tube, a safety razor and double edge blades. Just like seventy years ago, except that the blades are much better now (My favorites come from Russia and Pakistan.). Go to http://www.shavemyface.com/forum/
- zigardne, on 10/05/2008, -0/+7A small price to pay for unconditional love
- 2Bnor2B, on 10/05/2008, -0/+7I agree but please add brushing your teeth and mouthwash to the list.
- ryanhayn, on 10/05/2008, -0/+7He means you, Melissa, with all your Photoshopped Myspace pics. Lying bitch.
- 13B1303, on 10/05/2008, -1/+8Yeah I'll have fries with that.
- bipolarruledout, on 10/05/2008, -0/+6To a point..... if your going to do it then don't go half way. I have seen far to many people wear a wrinkled button up when a polo would have been a better choice.
- zboyet, on 10/05/2008, -1/+7Haha amen brother
- theadvinci, on 10/05/2008, -0/+5Pet hair isn't my only problem. Try owning a Bloodhound... drool all over the place... Including clothes because jumping on people and drooling all over them sounds like fun.
- elementdan, on 10/04/2008, -1/+6sharpen yourself
done - eclectro, on 10/05/2008, -1/+6I dugg this, but it's like there needs to be a half dozen more, aka take a shower.
- StevenBullen, on 10/05/2008, -2/+6It's good for the occasional shave.... but all the time... nah!
- ja4444, on 10/05/2008, -0/+4Using a double edge blade, I get a _much_ closer shave with less irritation and ingrown hairs compared to an electric or the latest 10-blade Gillette. A Merkur HD razor costs $28 but will last 3 lifetimes. Get yourself a boar's hair or badger hair brush, and you can buy shaving soap that lasts for a month at $2 a pop. You can buy 100 Derby blades at 15 cents each from amazon.com

At best if you do this occasionally you might be able to pull of the "too busy/dedicated to work" look but thats if your lucky. I'm not saying I agree with this mind set but most people are shallow.
- StevenBullen, on 10/05/2008, -1/+5***** that! I only wear a tie for interviews.
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -0/+4Have you met any women? They all rate you on what you're wearing and how much money you have.
Oh, now I think about it there are some women who don't care about that sort of stuff......
They are called prostitutes. - GiJoeBob, on 10/05/2008, -1/+5Bathe
Shower and shave
Brush your hair
Brush your teeth with toothpaste, not gel
Wear clothes that fit
Iron your clothes
Shine your shoes - rolf, on 10/05/2008, -0/+4Screw straight shaving, try a double edge razor. On a flea market, you can probably find one cheap for a couple bucks. 10 Personna blades available at some walmarts for about $1.50
More savings and more convenient. A straight razor is okay as far as shaving goes, but a nightmare in initial expense of decent one but confusing with pastes/belts available to sharpen it (not to mention time maintaining one). - Meccabilly, on 10/05/2008, -2/+6Any job which requires you to look 'sharp' is a bit to much effort for me. I prefer the roll out of bed and work in underwear model. I've not shaved in three weeks and it doesn't effect my job in the slightest. In fact, people seem to think i'm more creative for it. Tie's are victorian and the mark of a wage slave. Mwhahaha. Does an evil laugh deserve to go there. I don't care.
- RetroGrouch, on 10/05/2008, -0/+3Learn to use a straight razor. That boring chore you go through every morning will soon become a ritual you look forward to!
- GARussell, on 10/05/2008, -0/+3I should add that it is much less expensive than cartridges like the Mach3 or the Fusion. For example, you can buy a good brush, a solid razor (both of which will last for decades) and six months' worth of world class cream and blades for less than the price of 15 Fusion cartridges.
- Hodor, on 10/05/2008, -0/+2the article didn't say anything other than that women notice these things, that's not ***** because women do notice these things. Whether or not they're the sort of people you want to attract is your prerogative.
- aoou4444, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3I find it really odd that you have some issues with something so simple to learn and useful to be able to do. Especially from someone that claims to own a business. Ties aren't all about sitting in a cubicle. I would never require employees that sit in a cubical to wear a suit.
What about weddings, funerals, business meetings with clients or any other situation where you want to come off professional? You may not like it but sometimes it's in your own best interest to look your best when you are asking someone for something. If I'm asking someone for investment in me or my company, you can be damn sure I'm wearing a suit (and tie). It may not be necessary but I want them to see me at my best and know that I take what I do seriously. However, day-to-day, I don't wear a tie. - ja4444, on 10/05/2008, -0/+3also, the merkur HD is the most commonly recommended razor
http://www.amazon.com/Merkur-Classic-Safety-Razor- ... - Matsky, on 10/05/2008, -1/+4I don't understand this "man's man" thing of using a straight razor - a real man wouldn't shave at all.
- theadvinci, on 10/22/2008, -0/+2You got that right :)
- rolf, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2I don't begrudge anyone using a straight, bought a Heinkels straight myself before every trying DE. It's just I never got the hang of stropping (came with a bad, cheap strop) and found out I would need to sharpen it because it was not sharp enough out of the factory. I wasn't about to spend $50 on the correct sharpening stone (high grade water stone at the right grade).
Had an old gillette and slanted Merkur lying around from my grandfather, bought the 10 blades for $1.50 at Walmart and really like it.
Both ways are just better than the cartridge razors, I feel. - nicko68, on 10/05/2008, -1/+3Thankfully that's an old way of thinking which is going the way of the dinosaur.
I am just as productive whether I wear a suit and tie or a golf shirt and khakis, or even a t-shirt and jeans, but unfortunately that's still not allowed in some places. - gridbread, on 10/05/2008, -1/+3There aren't many jobs left that actually call for this, where I live.

- amed, on 10/05/2008, -0/+2just dont be a douchebag
- Jarasmen, on 10/05/2008, -0/+2So. You walk around in your undies and unkempt. That's... rad?
- GARussell, on 10/05/2008, -0/+2Oh no! Don't get the Personnas at Walmart. What you'll find in US stores are the worst in the world!
The best blades are available online, and at half the price of what you can find in US stores. - diemunkiesdie, on 10/05/2008, -0/+2I use a disposable 2-blade razor for edging and shaving with the grain (downward) and then I use a Shick Quattro for going against the grain to get that extreme smoothness. I havent replaced the blade on the Shick since December and I've only changed the disposable one twice since the same time.
A five pack of disposable razors from Walmart came out to under a $1 at the time.
The blotting tip works (plus I shake the blade vigorously after every use) and another tip is to shave after or in the shower. Your hair will be extremely soft and it will come off extremely easily. I use this method every day! - RetroGrouch, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2Double Edge razors the simplest and cheapest option for sure. But don't rule out straights. Yes, you have to buy some equipment (good razor, strop and sharpening hones) but you can find all this stuff used online. And once you've got it, there are no recurring costs.
It's not hard to find a good, shave-ready straight for $25 - $40 on the shaving forums. (Used, of course.) The other equipment can also be found cheaply. The biggest question is whether you want to face the learning curve. Takes a certain amount of dedication, but once you've got it right, it's great fun.
If you'd rather take the Double Edge route, an old Gillette Tech is a great starter razor. Cheap, light and gentle. Relatively easy transition from a modern plastic razor. - BambooSliver, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2I used to use the same thing, but later found that the old-school double edge razors gave a lot better shave. It is even more enjoyable if you use some good shaving cream or soap and a shaving brush. The blades are hella cheap if you order them online, razorandbrush.com seems to have the best selection and prices. It usually comes out to about 15 to 50 cents per blade. A puck of shaving soap from the local drugstore is what, 2 or 3 bucks and lasts a long time. Closer shaves + less expensive = a pretty good deal.
