When I last left you, I was determined to find out what really goes into a guy’s grooming regimen.  Well, after a weekend at the cottage surrounded by half a dozen unshowered dudes, my research was not going as well as I had hoped.  Since the lake was as close to a shower that anybody would get, I decided to take matters into my own hands and create “A Guide to Guy’s Grooming by Girls.”

Disclaimer, yo: These are purely my own opinions and not those of anybody else (although I’d like to think they’re probably pretty damn close to like-minded ladies).

Rule #1… How to do your ‘do.  Hair is one of the first features a girl notices about a guy (and the first I notice for sure!) so effort on your flow is key.  That doesn’t mean you have to be as carefully coifed as a famous vampire, but some AXE styling aids will do the trick.  It’s important to try (but not look like you did!) and have touchable soft hair a girl will never want to let go of.

Rule #2… I can see your epidermis!  Most guys skip this step in their getting-ready-routine, but skin is important to take care of especially if you want your lady friends close.  Washing your face is simple (and mandatory), but take it to the next level and wash your body with an AXE shower gel and you’ll never go back.  Try AXE Snake Peel, an exfoliating shower gel, and your skin will be ‘baby soft’ – and brotha that’s a good thing!

Rule #3… Grillz.  One of the most obvious tricks in the book is having fresh breath, and even your mother could tell you that!  But coming from a girl, nothing kills the prospect of a date quicker than bad breath and not-so-pearly whites.  So even if you don’t have a movie star grin (and nobody does!), that doesn’t mean you can’t have a minty mouth and the whitest whites.  And trust me, a minty mouth will always have more game than a garlic one.

Rule #4… Facial flow.  Every guy loves a moustache - a symbol of masculinity, maturity, and the old man’s respect.  And just because the ladies don’t swoon over facial hair as much as you do doesn’t mean you should ditch it all together!  Carefully crafted scruff can give you more wheels than a tractor trailer.

Rule #5… The last step.  Add the final touches to your swag by going double pits to chesty with some AXE body spray and deodorant and you’re good to go!  There’s nothing worse than gearing up to get down and killing the buzz with bad smell.  As a girl I know that when a guy smells good, it can only get better.

So here is it, guys.  Jaime’s own guide to make the fellas fly.  Do with it what you will, but just remember, a guy who grooms is a guy with game.

Keep it clean,

Jaime
