Men's Grooming Etiquette Male Teeth Review

Look at your teeth through a mirror from six inches away. This is a test. Clench your teeth together and smile. What you see is what other people get to see. Maintain your teeth. Teeth are to be clean, natural, and non-ornamented (except for braces). Teeth can be whitened by baked bonding, (baking soda,) bleaching, bonding, laser, or by toothpaste. Avoid over-whitening. The phrase you want someone to say is, "I would not have known it if you had not told me."

You may get braces for crooked and/or for bucked teeth. You could get a retainer to bring your teeth that gap back together. When you want to become known by and for your irregular teeth, let them be. Make this a conscious decision. For the most part, get caps for teeth that are broken, and false teeth to replace teeth that are missing. Avoid placing gold in your mouth that you can see unless you really are an independent contractor. It can be too much night style for day promotions.

At least once a year have your teeth professionally cleaned and get a fluoride treatment. Mouth care is the process that lets you show off your pearly (near) whites. The goal is to have clean teeth that gleam. (Just before taking any picture, you can rub your teeth lightly with petroleum jelly.) Now work your smile.

Men's Grooming Etiquette Male Shaving (Saving Face)

Men when you shave, prepare your skin. A hot moist towel can assist this process. Then apply a lubricant to protect your face. It can be a body lotion, 91% alcohol, a shaving cream, an electric shaving gel, or soap. Keep these items out of your eyes. To shave, use a clean sharp razor. Shave in one direction, the direction your hair grows. A shave is only supposed to make your face smooth in one direction. Pick a point that will be the end of one sideburn, and in even light smooth one inch strokes bring the razor down over the face following the line of the chin bone. Remove the rest of the facial hair, in a like fashion. You can wet your razor, and rinse it often (unless of course, it is electric).  Gently whack the handle against the sink to remove hair build up. Place the blade under the faucet. Turn the water on and off. The neck hair on the left side of the face is to be removed by picking a point on what will be the neck hairline and going up the neck, in smooth even strokes, to the chin hairline. To effect this you can use your thumb and/or index finger to stretch the skin. The neck hair on the right side can be removed in the same manner. It may be removed by picking a point on the chin line and going down the neck in smooth even strokes to what will be the neck hairline. Use the same motions each time you shave. You may shave once with a blade, and then again with an electric razor.  You can shave with lotion, but when new hair comes in; it will pull and pinch the skin. It is time to shave just then.

Rinse your face after shaving. You can now use that moist towel to wipe off your face any residue whiskers or lubricant you use.  Feel your face. Depending on the damage you have done, or the hairs you have left, lubricate it and repeat the process, or you could now moisturize your newly hairless skin. For picture taking, shave up to three times. Allow a five-minute interval between each shave. Practice before picture-taking day. At other times, strive for a shave that is smooth over one which is close.

Rinse and clean out your razor and blade. Return it to the holder, tray, or drawer, intended to receive it. Change your razor blade at least once a week, and/or any time it appears to be no longer sharp. As a rule, the amount of facial hair you are to have is none. Any facial hair you elect to keep is to be kept clean and groomed. Do this as an acknowledgment that you have been ceded a dear concession, at least for the time being. When you need a reason to shave to go with a recommendation, shaving is to be done. It grooms your appearance, improves your image, and gives you greater confidence, keeps skin looking younger, massages the skin, and removes dead cells.

Wash your face and wipe any (mucus) out of the corners of your eyes. Check to see that your eyes look well rested. Have them checked by a professional once every two years.  Advancement is so much better to see with clear vision. Get or give yourself a facial. You can get a European facial. You might get a customized skin analysis and a skin care prescription. Ingrown hair can be rubbed or plucked from under the skin, allowed to dry out for a day and then be shaved off or pulled out.

Men's Grooming Etiquette Men Shower or Take a Bath

In the United States of America, at a minimum, take a shower or a bath at least once each day, in the morning, at midday, or at night. The day a shower is missed entirely, you will meet the most important people in your life. This will make a favorable impression, less than one percent of the time. Outside the USA, take a shower at least once each week, in between sponge yourself, and use a moisturizer. In a private home, lay a large towel on the floor next to the shower atop any carpet or bathmat. At a public shower, you can hang your bath towel on a towel holder. You can lay a hand towel close by the shower. Place a wash rag or an exfoliating washcloth in the tub, or take one with you into the shower. A wash rag is 1/6 of a bath towel. Fold and cut one into thirds, and then cut the thirds in half.  Now you have six wash rags. You can sew a hem around each if you want. Get six bath towels. One is for back up; the other four are for decoration. You may omit from using a hand towel, and the use of a face cloth is optional. Cut or break a soap bar in half. Dunk yourself under water until you are totally wet. Turn the water off. Apply soap onto a wet cloth, or onto your body, and rub it over each part. Take extra care to clean behind your ears, in the outer ear, around your neck, behind wherever any foreskin is or was present, and between your toes. Then rinse and stop. You could repeat the process with a scented or lighter grade of soap: deodorant soap first, body wash second. Dry yourself as much as possible with the wrung wash rag, or dry yourself with a second one. You may just use one corner of a towel to dry off with and pat your body with the rest of the towel.
Dry each foot; place one foot on the tub rim. Dry it. Place it on the dry floor. Take the other foot and repeat the process. Ensure each area mentioned is thoroughly dried. To fully dry yourself, you can use a paper towel. Take a shower or bath every day except when you have a temperature of one hundred and four degrees. At a temperature of one hundred and two degrees, contact your doctor, get approval, and risk it. Get more than "Air" wet, and get more than your body dry. 
Learn to take a bath (even when you are not hurt). You can do this twice and week, just like laundry, say Sunday and Wednesday. A bath is used to scrub your spirits. Getting rid of caked dirt is just extra.  Romans used to take up to eight baths a day. You can take a bath in just water for time alone, and then shower. Run a mixture of hot and cold water together. Step in. Sit down.  Lie down; relax. Let the tub fill up. Allow five to eight minutes of soaking.  When finished with your soak, let the water drain.  Stay down until the tube is empty. You may now stand, and take a shower to, "Man back up.”  Suds up, shower, to rinse off, and dry off with one corner, or with one half of your bath towel. The other half you can use tomorrow. You might light candles, where it is allowed. You may even let them float. You could add bath granules, oils, cologne, Epsom salt, or bath salt to the water. Use a liquid soap to suds up with, or use soap of preference. You can wet and suds up an exfoliating washcloth and use it to take off dead skin, along with a callus remover.   Pat yourself dry with the rest of it.  Note: Additionally, you can wash your face and neck before you go to bed each night. To combat blackheads, I have been told you may wash your skin with Witch Hazel. ® 
After five minutes or so of enjoying your shower or bath go back and clean the tub. You have a wash rag in your hand. You can use your rinsed rag, and the soap you bathed with, to remove any tub ring or basin leavings. The key is using cold water and soap. Both and your rag can leave your bathtub shining.  You could even wipe down the walls of the shower if you wanted. You can use a cut in half sponge and scoring pad and soap for bathroom cleaning. At least weekly this gets replaced or washed with your laundry.  You may use a daily spray cleaner or salted water to control mold. In a public shower, this could be done by someone else, but it is to be done.  When you are in a rush you can wipe the tub dry with a towel or a little toilet tissue. Once you see the dirt, you may want to add some cold water and soap and then do it again.
You can use your rinsed and soaped wash rag to clean the face bowl, the toilet surface, and the toilet seat. You may even use it to wipe over the bathroom floor. For more general cleaning of the bathroom, you can wait until the weekend.
I keep dish detergent and a bottle brush for the cleaning the toilet bowl, and the same in used to clean all four flower vases.
Each wash rag is to be hung across a hanger and placed on a suspension rod, door handle, or knob outside the bathroom until it dries before it is placed in a laundry hamper.  The same goes bath towels and for all wet clothes. The hamper is not the place you need to make bacteria soup or to feed things that would gather to eat it.

Men's Grooming Etiquette Male Hair Care - Mane

Hair is to be clean and look conditioned, cut and cared for. It is to be let down every once in a while if only to wash it.
Take the hair test. Look in the mirror at your hair halo or silhouette. You can take a picture. The prickly hairs you see are what shows in each photograph. Change that. Rub your hand over your hair from the back to the front. If it makes a loud noise, if it threatens to tear at your skin, “You betta” do something about that.

Men Shampooing Hair
Hair is to be shampooed according to the edicts of your culture. A person with very coarse or very dry hair is to shampoo it once a week. In between, rinse it with water alone while taking a bath or a shower. Put new dressing on it. A man with fine or oily hair can shampoo his hair three times a week. Some people may seem to shampoo their hair anytime they get anywhere near water.
To shampoo, your hair, wet your head and hair and massage your scalp with your fingers. Turn off the water. Apply a small amount of shampoo to your hands; add it to your wet hair. Rotate your fingertips in place from the nape of your neck forward. Massage shampoo in over every inch of your scalp with your fingers. Then rinse your head and hair, and stop. You can repeat this process. This action can be necessary: when your hair is very dirty when you have been swimming, or after you have been bicycling behind a bus. You may just do it because you want to see lather as you see it on TV. Change your shampoo one day every three months.
There is a rumor, to remove dandruff, close your eyes, shake salt into your hair, then massage it in, O.K. now go back and rinse or shampoo it out. To remove gum you can use peanut butter. To remove grease, you may try some lemon juice in the final rinse. It may also be used to bring out additional highlights.  Watch out for your eyes.

Men Conditioning Hair
Hair is to be conditioned. It can be deep conditioned. Apply whatever it is, that you must use, to provide natural high lights and body to your hair. The advantage is the more you condition your hair the shinier it gets, and the more natural it stays. The better you take care of your hair the more intelligent some people will think you. Maybe this is not an advantage, just a reality.
A person with coarse hair may use a crème rinse conditioner. A fine-haired person may use a Balsam conditioner. A person with tangle or flyaway hair or hair which has spilt-ends may use an instant conditioner, a bodybuilding conditioner, or a corrective conditioner with humectants such as glycerin to help bind water to the hair.
To condition, your hair, apply the conditioning agent to your hands and add it to your newly rinsed hair. Work it in: twist it in for five to ten minutes, until there is a change in hair texture. Then rinse it out. This works, even with 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner. You can condition the hair over your entire body.
Rub your hand over your hair; if you can hear it, it is time for re-conditioning.

Men Drying Hair
Dry your hair. This can be done with a wash rag or towel. This may be done while you are still in the shower.
You could blow dry your hair outside of the shower, before combing it down. Move the dryer over your hair in a sweeping motion, until it is dry.
When you have longer hair, you may move the dryer over your hair until it is just damp. Then pull your damp hair straight to retain straight hair when it dries. You can hold the attachment around a hank of hair, dry it, release it, and continue this process until all of your hair is dried.
You may curl your hair with a brush attachment to have it curl when it dries. Hair can be towel dried, gently, or allowed to air dry naturally.

Men Trimming Hair
Avoid having hair that is sheared.  Hair is to be trimmed with scissors. Go to a barber or hair stylist and let this be done. You can go to a business hair design consultant. When your instructions are disregarded, leave no tip, and change stylist. When your wishes are honored: when you are gifted with great trim, be grateful. Tip and say, "Thank you." Hair is to be scissor cut in a style according to the edicts of your culture, and/or the conditions of your employment. The preferred cut is neat and short, and clear of your ears, cheeks, and collars, the day before you go to have it trimmed; that is to say always. Whatever the length get your hair trimmed at least once every other week. Hair is to be washed before it is trimmed unless it is to receive a chemical process. It is to be washed immediately after. Hair can be buzz cut or shaved off the head. Some of us can pull off either look, but unless you are in the military, have been, or have a great head shape, these practices are to be avoided. This may be done with a razor blade and 91% alcohol placed in the cap of the plastic bottle in which your razor is stored.  Dip the head of the razor in the alcohol and shave your head in one direction in one-inch strokes. 

Men Caring for Hair
Hair may be added in the form of a weave, and/or a transplant. We are not all the same. Avoid adding or taking away hair which will cause you to look suspect, or to look dangerous. Avoid radical haircuts, unless you really are technically well versed enough to be self-employed, or do not mind perpetually earning minimum wage. Brow trimming could be a part of a man's haircut. Each is to be combed straight and then snipped. Brow plucking for a man is entertainment: either he is in it, is it, or will be it.  Avoid over plucking. Then there is the two finger rule – the space to be between the two.  Ear lobe-hair trimming might be a part of a haircut. When you cut your hair, treat yourself to a soothing or an invigorating scalp massage. 
Hair is to be colored by nature. It may be accented with a color gloss or surface highlights. Hair is to be cared for; hairdressing is to be applied to it. When neglected, or unprotected, hair gets hot, it burns, and it smells. Avoid this. Use a dressing that has little or no scent.
For thick dry hair, you can use oil, hair grease, gel, or a lotion. A fine-hair person may use a hair texturizer; take a small amount, add water, apply it with your hands, and comb it through. A person with oily hair could use a water-soluble non-alcoholic dressing. 
Apply a dressing to your hands, and then apply it to your wet hair.  Spread it thoroughly, but sparingly, regardless of how it is scented.  Avoid rinsing this dressing out. (You would only have to reapply it.) Always wet your hair for two minutes and then brush it for at least one hundred strokes, (OK 50 strokes).  Coarse hair will develop a wave pattern, and fine hair will shine. Afterward, you can comb or brush it out, shake it out, or massage hair when it is to sport a natural look.
You might apply hair spray to your hair. Use one that is unscented. Hold the hair spray can or container at least twelve inches away. Press the nozzle only enough to mist your hair. Avoid having hair that never moves. Hair spray is to be brushed out of your hair each night.
Hair is to be kept looking neat. It may be smoothed with your hands, in public. Beyond this, leave it alone. Do other acts of grooming in a bathroom.
Clean your hairbrush routinely. Comb all hairs out of it. Soak it in a warm soap and water solution, in alcohol, or in a hydrogen peroxide solution. Rinse it out. Let it dry with the bristles down, preferably, on some kind of towel. Clean your comb by hand. Remove the loose hairs from it. Soak it. Rinse it. Let it dry. Return each to a holder or drawer for storage.

Men's Grooming Etiquette baesoe 1-24

If you see typos or errors let me know, the worst it will get you is an updated copy. Thank you for inserting arrows where needed, dotting "i" s, where required, and adding directions and signs to assist sons in climbing mountains, standing on their own, and finding their way home.
Your Forever Rewriter

Acknowledgment
To Josh and to each student son who wanted to know what could be expected from him publicly, my humble attempt at a map.

Men's Grooming baesoe, That Talk, and Men’s Business Etiquette are living skills and etiquette classes on male development: things (a male needs) to do, things of which to be mindful and things expected from the male half: things to tell a young professional and a upcoming graduating son.
Men’s Grooming includes information on Changes and Checkups, Bathroom Conduct, Male Grooming Habits, Grooming Hair, Shaving & Saving Face, Male Grooming Techniques, Men's Skin Care, Nail care, and Male Grooming Supplies & Products. This class will let you discover how to get hair that gets you noticed, how to pass the squint test and make your face not crack, and how to flash: take a fingernail test and pass.
That Talk is about sex etiquette. You are able to decide when to have it. 
Men’s Business Etiquette is about cool rules to know: traditions governing business and social behavior, consideration, and taste: things expected from male young professionals and university students. Manners are (what Mama likes) things you "know” to do. Etiquette is the set of rules that go with manners. Manners must be married to etiquette for there to be a good fit; what you approve of must be married with the set of rules for the court you are in or for the court at the level to which you wish to ascend. He who has the talent and follows the rules best wins.

“Do not hate the player or the game. Hate (having the talent, and) not knowing the rules.” Get etiquette. Outclass the competition.

Contained herein is information on men’s personal grooming, male care matters. It covers things that garner acceptance and better tell what a male has to offer: things which go with his right to be.
In home training, when a son performed well academically, or athletically, all else was forgiven. However, as he will be leaving home, there are other things (a male needs) to do. Things expected from the male half.
“Sloppy, slovenly attention to body grooming can betray you in one instant and reveal your lack of training.”
“Clean hair, teeth, and nails are the very basic requirements in terms of men's grooming.  Each is easy to achieve and maintain and for each, there is a test.”                 

Men’s Grooming
In men’s body grooming, there are things that you need to do, from cleaning your body to, possibly, cosmetic surgery. Each, though ego-based, can result in improved appearance, self-image, and eligibility. Welcome to the better to look at world and workforce. To start, clean your body. It is used to indicate your respect for hygiene. Moreover, it is used to demonstrate consideration for people with whom you are to come in contact. People have a need and a right to expect to be able to be near you without being overcome by your body odor and/or your laundry. POST the anti-funk rule: “Funk is not fair.” Say it, "Funk is not fair." "You better do something." It is hard work to clean up, and to spray, after you. It is tender cruelty not to tell you and/or not to teach you how to meet the expectations of those who would like to get to know you. If, and when, your hygiene actions are caught short, avoid adding cologne to your circumstance. Immediately seek out some soap. Wet or dry, soap rubbed onto an offending area of skin will provide temporary relief to a compromising situation. Now take a bath or a shower. You can do the same to cloth, and then go do your laundry. You may then add to your body a moisturizer and your signature scent. In relation to your clean body, your general maintenance, and your association with those around you, there are things that you need to do. People will enjoy you much better.

American for the Arts Public Art Network(PAN) Year in Review
Bait Box is a sculpture inspired by the artist’s experiences with “noodling” (catching flathead catfish by hand) in Oklahoma. He sculpted a giant catfish to honor the folklore surrounding “monster” catfish and the rare individuals obsessively pursuing these creatures. This bronze catfish lounged life-like on a faux High Voltage Box near the shores of Lady Bird Lake, a scenic parkland trail location where visitors sought to discover if the fish were real. The piece provided opportunity for the public to reconnect with the outdoors and share their own stories of “the one that got away.”
