Groomed Guy Alert: Brad Pitt

Women everywhere have offered thanks now that Brad Pitt has at long last shaved his notorious beard. However going from grizzly to groomed requires special care. Master Barber for King of Shaves, Diane Wood, shares how to show some skin without shedding some blood! Here are a few tips for guys looking to banish their beards:

· The easiest way to remove longer facial hair is to use a beard trimmer or hair clipper. Use the trimmer to remove as much hair as possible. (If this step is skipped, razors will become clogged and the chance of nicks significant increases!)

· After removing the longer whiskers, the skin underneath will be extremely dry and sensitive. Splash face with warm water to open pores.

· Once skin is prepped, apply a thin layer of shaving oil, such as King of Shaves AlphaOil Cooling, and follow with a low foam shaving gel, such as King of Shaves AlphaGel Shaving Gel Natural. The combination of oil and gel will provide the smoothest wet shave possible.

· Push the nose upwards with one finger, shaving sideways across the top lip.

· Be sure to shave with the grain, never against the grain! For an even smoother shave, shave across the grain!

· After shaving, rinse the face with cool water and apply an alcohol-free facial moisturizer to close the pores and lock in moisture.

I think I Cannes Style: Cannes Film Festival Continued

Brad Pitt and fellow cast mates put on one heck of a show at the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of the much hyped film "Inglourious Basterds" yesterday. The sexy star wore a chic pastel colored two-piece Tom Ford suit, white shirt and a gray cashmere scarf. I loved the way he intentionally unbottoned the top half of his shirt to tuck his scarf (stylishly wrapped around his neck) away in. The aviator shades completed the look - accentuating his sexy appeal. I am loving this look on Brad --- clean, tasteful, and sexy. Say whatever you want about him - he may be 40 plus but he still has that swag!
