No razors for me am sorry to say. Not that am a dirty unkempt man...more like razor bumps! I generally have a travel case grooming kit with toothbrush, nail clippers, file, etc which I get from TJMAXX, Marshalls, Walmart, and so on. After the travel alerts and airport security confiscating most of my clippers, I had to go cheap and affordable least i waste a fortune on these kits! For shaving, the Braum self cleaning comes in decent package. So for a man, I suggest well kept nails and toes, trimmed beard and hair or clean hair for those how keep long hair, rastas, dreads and so on, brush and floss your teeth and use mouthwash. Gum is also your friend.

I'm considering laser hair removal as these bumps do get worse during summer.

The difference between caucasians and blacks is "kipilipili".Also stop using those lawn mowers on your face(gillete fusion). More blades = more skin irritation. I have stopped using fusion and I can see the difference.

likely because their hair/beard grows straight while Africans like me have kinky and coiled hair which coils back and grows back into the skin thereby iritating the skin. Check out webmd for the full infohttp://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/tc/razor-bumps-topic-overview

Lady Killer,The guy said he gets a kit with "...toothbrush, nail clippers, file..." from TJMAXX but shaves with "...braum self cleaning.." I suspect that's a typo for Braun. Which man do you know shaves with nail clippers or toothbrush or nail files? Reading is fundamental my gal...

Okay Kyle you are a better race so what?I know you are a black dude trying to get attention.Better race because you are white????? What else do you have to offer? Even whites do get bumps. You sound like a very uncultured and uncouth.Probably you are looking for Prozac and I'm afraid that you wont get it from this site.LMAO Troll

Play nice fellows. No sense in fighting over my lady lumps...errr razor bumps! Braun works fine, I don't get as much bumps as I would with a razor and also the skin isn't scratched/cut and it gives a really close smooth shave plus it self cleans, lubricates and sanitizes itself. Lady Killer,TJMAXX has designer stuff. They say they have imperfections but to my un trained eye I can't tell. Believe me, when your job entails weekly flights to work, you can't afford the expesive high quality stuff. You forget them at the hotels, they get stolen or misplaced, used to get confiscated by airport security, plus I do carry on laggage because I have no desire to wait for luggage and/or have my business clothes lost in transit...Good tips though from everyone. Never too old to learn something new.

All I see these days are the skinny ties which arent my cup of coffee.I prefer my ties to be atlease 3.5" width so that I can get a good knot and a dimple if you know what I mean.Kritik

LAdy Killer,I've always felt that the tie a man picks should compliment his face. Meaning does he have a round or narrow face. I don't like thin ties but I also don't like the overly fat ties. Just looking through my collection I picked Michael Kors, Jones NY, Hilfiger and salvatore as some of my favorites. Then again am very conservative in my dressing. No help I guess...

Papa.......I've never heard of that face to tie ratio thing. For suits, if you are tall you are excused to even wear 4 button single breast. If you are of normal height i.e.5'9"-6'3" you can wear 3 buttons and look fine but below that please wear 2 button or even single button single breast suit. You want to have that V thing going so you can display your shirt and tie.LK:As for tie if you are skinny then go for the skinny ties but if you are big/fat/big bones/whatever else, wear the thick ties i.e. 3.5" and above but do exceed 4" as you'll look rediculous. As for me I prefer 3.5-3.75" because they make a great knot.Some people prefers paisley mostly by European makers,stripped tie like what you'd find at brooks Bros. Some prefer Hermes style i.e. pictures and all kinds of images you can imagine. I prefer Paisley,strip and some sort of boxes on it but they need not be too busy. If you wear suit and tie there are a lot of things that can make you stand out from the crowd. For that I'll leave FJ for a new posting. I'm affraid it'll take a long time to explain.I hope I was of help.KritiK
