Avoiding The Mountain-troll Look
As men age, their hair often migrates from its proper place on top of the head, to less desirable locations - hairs sprout from the ears and nose, eyebrows become boisterous and a fine mohair can begin to grow on their back. Neolithic man may have welcomed the extra insulation that middle age brought, however men these days have two choices; they can embrace the new mountain-troll-look or, they can wage war.
With a focus on self improvement, most men go with the latter and for good reason; a well-groomed man looks and feels more confident and makes a great first impression. Fortunately, managing unwanted hair is not difficult and department stores as well as supermarket shelves offer numerous, inexpensive hair removal tools and products.
First on your shopping list should be a trimmer for the nose and ears. Trimmers are available in battery-operated and battery-free styles. Both kinds are perfectly safe as long as they are in good repair. Never use a trimmer that has been damaged or appears bent and choose one that is easy to clean. When using the trimmer (preferably on a weekly basis), do not insert it too far into the ear or nose. Remember, your aim is to remove only the visible hair. Next are the brows. These are the difference between you looking okay and looking fantastic. Tweeze and pluck away the stray hair that grows between your eyebrows and pluck out unruly à-la-Brezhnev strands that do not sit flat within the arch of your brow. Do not be too enthusiastic and over pluck; the aim is to tidy your appearance and not to alter the shape of your brows.
If you have unwanted hair over a large area, for example on the back, your best bet is waxing and this should be carried out by professionals. Hair removal salons report an increase in male clients for waxing and that their male clientele ranges between 35 and 60 percent. You may find your treatment less painful if you take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medicine before your appointment and once you start to wax, plan on going back every four to six weeks for repeat waxing.
Another alternative is to use the Philips Norelco Bodygroom – which will trim hair on every part of your body. If your problem area is your back, you can ask a partner to do this for you. The Norelco Bodygroom does exactly what the name implies and features three attachment combs. You can use this great gadget either wet or dry and its hypoallergenic foil stainless-steel blades means it’s great for sensitive skin and can be used in the shower - charging time is 8 hours for up to 50 minutes of cordless use. At sites like Philips Norelco Central you’ll find information, articles and reviews on the best products.
The world of hair removal is full of jargon. For example, when purchasing products or discussing hair removal options, two words you will come across are depilation and epilation. Here is the difference; epilation means to remove the entire hair, including the part below the skin. Plucking and waxing are two examples of this and the results are long lasting. Depilation is the removal of only the hair that projects from the surface of the skin – shaving being a prime example of depilation.
If you are considering permanent hair removal over a large area of skin, this involves several – often imperfect - options that may require a lengthy course of (usually expensive) treatments before a satisfactory outcome is reached. Several methods have been developed that use chemicals, energy of varying types, or a combination to target the areas that regulate hair growth. Permanently 'nuking' these areas while sparing surrounding tissue is, understandably, a difficult challenge. Methods include Electrolysis, laser and Intense Pulsed Light (such as Flashlamp or EpiLight), all of which you'd be wise to research in depth before making a decision.
Aluminum or Steel mountain bike from for a heavy guy?
Want to just spend $100 on a bike for fun. Since I am a heavy guy (240 lb), I want a bike that can handle me. I called both bike manufacturers and they say their bikes can support me regardless of the material.
Should I get the
1) Mongoose with all aluminum frame?
http://www.walmart.com/ip/26-Mens-Mongoose-XR-75-Dual-Suspension-Bike/13969564
or
2) A "Next" bike with steel frame?
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Power-X-Men-s-26-Bicycle/11089998
You'll be fine on either one. Steel Frames are heavier but more durable. Aluminum Frames are lighter and less durable. Steel Frames have the ability to be 'fixed'. For example if the Frame gets a dent in it, a Steel Frame can have it beaten or pulled out, try to do this with an Aluminum Frame and it will crack/break. Either way, when it comes to Bicycles you get what you pay for, but even a Department Store Bicycle can last a few years. What is important is how well you take care of it. Keep up with all of the maintenance, keep it out of the Weather as much as possible and take it for a ride at least once a month. Just do this and you should be able to keep even a Department Store Bicycle through its warranty. If you do get a Bicycle from Walmart, I suggest getting the 'Next' Steel Frame. I have a 'Next' Steel Frame Mountain Bicycle from Walmart that I got 7 years ago and it still rides fine. Its no where near the quality of my 'Trek' Bicycle from my Local Bicycle Shop but I paid 3 times as much for the 'Trek' than I did for the 'Next'. Like I said you get what you pay for. I also have a 'Mongoose', I love riding and I take excellent care of my Bikes, but its been about 5 years now and my 'Mongoose' is in its last year. Anyway, both are decent Bikes it's just a matter of which one fits both you and your Biking Lifestyle better. Happy riding, have fun and be safe, lol. =]
