Was at the shops today and I overheard a doll saying she had to call to Argos to change her brothers hair straighteners! What is the world coming to? I know of a few fellas in work regularly using sunbeds and one that straightens his hair.
Is this common in 21st Century Ireland? Be honest!
GAA board Or GAY board?
Ive had enough of poncey men today - though Ive become aware of at least 2 men who use hair straighteners. One of them has no hair to be straightening (he also uses fake tan), I don't understand what he does with them. - and I just remembered I know of another boy who uses some sort of taning moisturiser.
Theres a lad i know who shaves his feet on a regular basis
I wouldn't wax but I would trim my bum hair and pubes regularly.
i think he ticks most of those boxes

How do you trim your bum hair yourself?? I can't say I've tried it but it has nasty accident wrote all over it.

Wwwwhy.......why...........and again why.............why would you do that?
How would you do that and who would care?
I have a hair trimmer thing, I set it to a level one and go nuts on it. It involves what can only be described as contortionism. But I get there in the end.
Muppet - I do it because my bum is far too hairy, I used to get slagged something shocking about it in school and got a complex about it. So now I like to keep it trim in case anyone sees it. The girlfriend would see it and maybe if I stripped somewhere but havent done that in a while.

Use moisturizer on my hands, as I do a bit of climbing and the chalk dries the crap out of your skin. Apart from that, just trim the nose and ear hair a wee bit. May have to start of the eyebrows soon too. Its amazing how as the hair starts to thin out on top, it starts popping up everywhere else!

I'll admit I use hand cream but only because if I don't they go all dry and scaly and start bleeding!
Boyfriend goes on sunbed in summer months, gets his eyebrows waxed, hmm what else ... uses some aul moisteriser on his face. Not wise - drives me mad.

I use E4 Cream the odd time during the winter because like you my hands go all dry, crack and bleed.
Other than that I use hair gel and thats pretty normal. I hate fake tan on girls, on men its just sad. As for Gavin Henson in the photo up above...well I wont even comment on him.

Moisturiser is acceptable as plenty of people have dry skin. Tinted moisturisers are not acceptable products IMO.

Moisturiser is completely unacceptable................unless it is advertised by a real man.
That rules out the likes of Beckam, Donal Og and most current Dubs.
In conclusion until I see a Dara O'Shea, Mick Lyons or at a stretch Diarmuid O'Sullivan selling it, I won't be wearing any.
(p.s. if it contains alcohol then I might consider alternative uses for it).

i knew a guy once, when he ran out of alcohol at home he would drink aftershave
One voter each for use of fake tan/sun bed and hair straighteners!
Anyone want to guess which county this person or persons hail from? The tan points me in the direction of a Belfast hurler.
I use a moisturizer as my skin gets serious dry in the winter time. I get the eyebrows trimmed in the barbers otherwise they would be rain forests. The barber offered to trim the ears but I don't think I am ready to go that far.
I know a lad in work who gets the eyebrows threaded (some form of plucking) and a few lads who visit the sunbeds. I think some lads (especially the city boys) take it too far with the streaks, straighteners and the like but also all the macho boys who pretend not to know about any of it all make me laugh. Nothing wrong with taking care of yourself as long as you don't cross the line into pampering...IMO

sunbeds and straighteners are across the line and well into pampering! they'll be getting their nails done yet.
i know a lad on this board who got a back crack and sack wax before heading off to oz. hes only home recently too
i would find it extremely weird if a fella who was straight used sunbeds and faketan...
i myself use neither, some girls find it strange that i don't ... but i am irish and fair skinned and like my freckled arms..... 8)

Out of curiosity, why is hair gel seen as much more "acceptable" than moisturiser. If anything gel is poncier as it is done for sheer vanity whereas moisturiser can relieve pain.

That was so the Tipp/Clare forwards would slide off him as he shouldered them with his head.
I admit that about a decade or so ago I used a facial yoke for about a month. Gave up and only shower at weekends now. Once I didn't look in a mirror for 2 months.

Apparently there was plenty of Vaseline about the changing rooms.
On a somewhat related note, I believe my hair line is un-receeding.
Which if true is fecking fantastic.
It might be just your ear hair getting longer.

What the hell is wrong with men using moisturiser, cant believe some boys on here disagreeing with it ??? ??? ??? I use it when ive come out of the shower on my face as the shower water and shampoo tends to dry out your skin and can leave it flaky. Using some nivea for men on the face after shaving also is a must. There is no harm in looking after your skin or body even if you are a man. Also, im sure women would prefer man who takes some pride in his appearance than one who makes abosultely no effort at all. You can have the best personality in the world and be the funniest man in the world but if you smell of BO and look like you've been dragged backwards through hedge, well your not going get much riding.

No one has suggested men should smell of BO, none of the things we're talking about stops the smell of BO so why are you bringing that in to it?
acceptable: hair gel, moisturiser, deodorant/anti-persperant, aftershave. Trimming nose hair, ear hair, designer stubble, overly hairy bums/other regions.
unacceptable: fake tan/tinting moisturiser, sun beds, getting teeth whitened, waxing of any description, diamond earrings/eyebrow/nose/nipple etc piercings, straightening of hair.

I was talking about moisturizer, you are talking about hair straighterners & wax. maybe you dont know the difference so ill go ahead and explain it for you:
Moisturizer(http://pics.drugstore.com/prodimg/139638/200.jpg)
Usually used to give extra or added 'moisture' to ones skin. many people use on the face and hands that may have become dry or flaky although some moisturizers can indeed be used on the whole body, hence products such as an 'All body moisturizer', which is usually available for all you good local pharmacists.
Hair Straighters (http://www.offerbank.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ghd.jpg)
Used to 'straighten' ones hair (see below pic). Mostly used by woman and i use the term mostly as some gaa posters suggest that they know certain men who use these products, personally i dont but there you go, maybe i need some friends for a start. The GHD range seem to be the most popular and great value for money, maybe you could invest in a pair for a loved one or possibly even yourself? be careful though as they tend to get incredibly hot, please refrain from touching the metal part when the product is on and EVEN when it has been TURNED off as it could take some time for them to cool.
(http://www.redhillsalon.com/images/deion4.jpg)
Wax (http://www.thamessalon.com/store/images/uploads/dax_washable.jpg)
Wax can be used to shape ones hair into different styles. Again a popular product amongst men and women and can be purchased again from any good chemist or even your local supermarket. many different brands available ranging from dry look, wet look, messy look, rock hard look. Its just about finding the right product which suits a specific person.
Glad i could be of help here and dont hesitate anytime you want any more knowlegde on the above product. I only hope now ive cleared up the confusion and you are aware of the difference between a moisturizer, hair straighteners and indeed hair wax.
and how does using moisturiser stop you smelling of bo?
I think you need to turn down the temperature on your hair straighteners, seems to be frying brain cells too.
who's that in that picture anyway, you?

I don't understand the hostility to moisturizer either. Is it more "manly" to put with the discomfort and unsightliness of dry, cracked, possibly flaky or bleeding skin than to stick a dab of moisturizer on it and solve the problem? Anyone who lives their lives according to such "rules" is a few shillings short of a pound in my opinion.
Oh ffs.
Acceptable: Changing your socks when they're no longer flexible.
Unacceptable: Everything else. Even being aware of your appearance is borderline nancyboy.

Looking like a semi heroin addict/alcoholic like Mc Gowan is an ambition of yours ?
I would find it more strange why someone wouldn't use moisturiser after shaving. Something I'm quite happy to admit to. I don't use fake tan or anything else. If that makes me a nancy boy. So be it.

Of course you want to nancify men. That's a woman's job.
I can't get my head around this bum hole shaving thing, how is that physically possible and do you need a touch of aftershave on it to 'close the pores'?
Why not just pull a load out with you finger and thumb if its bothering you that much as it sounds like it needs to be thinned out rather than shaved?
anyone pluck between the eyes to prevent a mono-brow forming, especially you tyrone girl?

I'd shave the hair between the 2 eyebrows to stop a monobrow.
Can't believe the amount of fellas that use moisturiser! Jeez whenever I'm at home I'm lucky if the aul fella has shaving foam to shave with! Very often the humble bar of soap has to do.
Never knew there was as many fruits on the board. I shower every day, use deodorant every day. Shave once every three or four days, nothing more than a slap of water on my face post shave and I am a pussy magnet. Keep it simple.

Anyway my question is do any lads get the back wax done or use hair removal cream or shave it? Ladies do you mind a bit of back hair?? I'm loathe to do anything about it really but I think the time has come to make a decision!

Is this the hair round the neck and shoulders or the angel wings further down and to the sides?
You might need the Veet for those f**kers.

Is getting rid of back hair womanly?? If so then yes I am prepared to be a woman on this occasion! Unfortunately I think the procedure will involve the help of someone else... I can't see anyone giving me a hand so I am unsure if it's gonna happen!

Go get it waxed. There are plenty of places that would do it.

Id have a fairly hairy chest and just in the last year or two the tops of the shoulders and the bottom of the back are starting to sprout a bit. I have had the woman wax it for me, but it seems to bring it in thicker.
Have waxed the ole eyebrow too for shits and giggles, but now I just pluck her.
(And use tweezers on the monobrow)

WHY
had the sack waxed, some job
Would someone tell me why all the waxing??
It makes the naked tobogganing easier. Less friction.

Pluck her, or wax her.
Moisturising is def ok and can't see the problem with most male grooming, eyebrows, nose hair, ear hair etc.
I like a hairy chest on a man but not a hairy back. Worked with a woman once and she had the hubby have his back waxed regularly and fair play to him he did as he was told. I would imagine it woud be extremely painful.

I admit to using moisturiser, aftershave balm and gel. Face tends to dry out after a shower. I've the worst skin in the world.
I know lads who straighten the hair alright. One lad in particular even brings his ghd's on a stag weekend.

He should be locked in the hotel room for the duration to make him think about what he is doing.
Ask yourself the question - could I respect my dad if he did this?
If the answer is yeah - its no big deal, then its acceptable.
If I ever caught the auld boy with straightners - It'd be a straightner he'd get.

What the hell is wrong with men using moisturiser, cant believe some boys on here disagreeing with it ??? ??? ??? I use it when ive come out of the shower on my face as the shower water and shampoo tends to dry out your skin and can leave it flaky. Using some nivea for men on the face after shaving also is a must. There is no harm in looking after your skin or body even if you are a man. Also, im sure women would prefer man who takes some pride in his appearance than one who makes abosultely no effort at all. You can have the best personality in the world and be the funniest man in the world but if you smell of BO and look like you've been dragged backwards through hedge, well your not going get much riding.
The women I know wouldn't be impressed with men stealing their moisturiser or fan tan. Girls like gay men sure, but they rarely have relationships with them.
Danielle Lloyd who is a lingerie model, a former Miss England 2004, and a former Celebrity Big Brother contestant, showed off these manly hairy arm pits for My Bloody Hell
will this type of grooming catch on?

Some lads here need to take a long, hard look at themselves (shouldn't be a chore for some of you). Posters are claiming to use hair straighteners and sun beds or fake tan. Shocking! I'm tempted to lock the poll now as the moisturisers are catching up with the real men. For the sake of Irsihmen everywhere.
I reckon getting the clippers out for the pubes and pits are a must :o

WTF...just you wait ya we bollix...i'll cream your face for ya alright ya we wuss, you and that blanca man with his straighteners :D :D :D
a bit of soap to give the batteries a good wash is all any man needs...no other cosmetics are needed. I now know why half of ye are fairies on the pitch :D :D
Seriously, though, I had no idea this stuff was so rampant. It is providing a context that hadn't even occurred to me before for all the girly mincing and falling and screaming over broken nails we're seeing on the pitch these days. Any fairy that uses balm (whatever that is) or cream or straightens his hair (I even found it hard to type that) is not exactly the sort you'd expect to stand up and go toe-to-toe when the blood and snots are flying and lads are swallying their smaller teeth and spitting out the big ones.

Moisturisers, aftershave and gel would be fairly normal behaviour for any male who wants to have any chance with the opposite sex these days. Looking like Shane Mc Gowan and smelling like him as some is people's ambition here it appears won't do you any favours in a nightclub.
However fake tan, hair straighteners are absolutely ridiculous in my view for a bloke. At that stage you are a complete sissy if you're into that. Still with the amount of rugby players I see on TV wearing fake tan you wonder what the world is coming too.

Quote from: Tony Baloney on January 02, 2010, 07:39:30 PM
Moisturiser is acceptable as plenty of people have dry skin. Tinted moisturisers are not acceptable products IMO.
When I started shaving my head first,and I mean proper shaving with shaving foam and a Mach 3 razor, it took me a while to get the hang of it and I use to cut myself and it was fairly sore.
The woman told me to throw some moisturiser on me noggin to sooth it down a little. Anyway not ever having used moisturiser before(or since) I picked up the first bottle I found on her dressing table and splashed it on. I used it for a few weeks and it did help,only thing was it was tinted moisturiser ,only realised what it was when the woman saw me using it and told me what it was.
I was a nice shade of brown for a few weeks though.
You shaved your head and put fake tan on it for a few weeks.
This is the wrong thread for that LL.
You're dead to me Laoslad.
Use Moisturiser every day. Wax in the hair and I trim the beard instead of shaving as I hate shaving! Have waxed my legs and chest for charity awful pain I don't know how people do it full time! Was recommended sun beds to help with acne on the back but have not taken the plunge. Straighter's I thought you needed long hair to use them. Fake tan is for women in my opinion!
Deodorant. Hair gel. Moisturiser, when required. Hand cream very occasionally. Trim the pubes, a must IMO. Armpits as well, for practical reasons i.e. retain less sweat.

I would hit the sunbeds now and again. Extremely sensitive skin, meaning any time I have a wet shave I get a bad rash, same for a dry shave as well actually - sunbeds are good for speeding up the healing process so I dunno what it's like for acne but I know other fellas who have used them for that reason. In any case I would avoid them if possible, not worth the risk.
Jesus some lame excuses for moisturiser and sunbeds. "For medical reasons" ;)

;D. If there was an age profile I would say all the culprits are under 30.
I prefer sitting for a slash too as at work the splashback on the work trousers isnt a good look. At home I use each trip to the bog as "cave time", for a bit of reading or catching up on the gaaboard or twitter, away from the wife and kids - much easier sitting than standing!

The reason I ask is cos I realised at the weekend that I can still never make my mind up what I want when I get the hair cut. I am always in two minds and usually as long as it's neater than what it was before I went in I am content. But then an hour or so later it is either too long or too short.

I think you should go to a hairdresser.
A touchy subject for me at the minute :'( My days of attending a barber are numbered.

I'll be holding on to it for as long as possible despite getting abuse about having a comb-over. Still loads there :P
Here the worst thing in the world is guys who r going bald and they try the Wall-nut whip effect with the hair brushed across their bald head...FFS shave the thing off, you look pathetic.
I'm grey BTW.
an increasing amount of lads in there 30s and 40s rocking comb overs and thinking they're fooling us all
horrendous looking lads - if you're fighting a battle with the old male pattern baldness - you're losing it. Take defeat on the chin and shave it off
I've had my bonce shaved for about a year now, i'm getting a bit fed up with it tbh and thinking of growing it back (to a fairly shitty patchy #2 all over in all probability ), i know it'll be a bit shite on it but i dont know if i can be arsed maintaining the slaphead.
I still catch a reflection of myself the odd time & think who's yer bald man :'(

Sure its no hassle maintaining it.
I used to shave it with a razor and shaving gel which was a pain alright but I bought an electric razor and its a great job.
Very easy to shave it now, can multitask also and grab the electric razor and shave it while sitting on the jacks.
What do you use? I bought a barber type shaver ages ago & never use it, shave with blade & gel every few days.

This is the yoke I have. I use it for my face and head. Great job.

Nonsense. I get the barber to trim my beard when I'm in...
Ye are all a bunch of ladyboys.
Homophobe.

how's the DIY haircuts coming along then? I'm sure some of you have already been cutting your own barnets long before the virus. Any advice. Main worry is it not growing back.
I cut the 4 year olds hair there and made a right hash of it. Apparently its not usually a number 2 that he gets. He looks like the boy in the striped pyjamas !

Trying to talk the wife into allowing me to give twin 4yr old boys a buzz cut but she's having none off it. I offered to only do a grade 5 but she doesn't trust me!
It's not that anyone will see them for a while anyway
Not much of my to cut but tackled the young fellas who is 6. A few youtube tutorials and it doesn't look to bad. He aint going back to a barbers lOl!

My young lad got that cut and that's the joke we were making about him!!
I always had a bit of length to my hair and in fact during my playing days I refused to get it cut during championship season.....good luck yadda, yadda...
Anyway I went full on and scalped myself last week. It's been a great and I will be keeping the corona cut to be honest. Cleaner, easier to manage and she likes the stubbly feel ;)...but seriously I really like it and after a few days of getting used to it is great!

Photo on Facebook now, or else it didn't happen lol.
Clippers on the way from Amazon. One of my boys has given himself a mullet much to the missus' disgust so it'll be a tidy up job when they arrive. I'll need to tackle my own but unfortunately it grows thicker in some places than others!
All this talk about cutting hair. Shave the head and be done with it. I shave mine most days.

That's it. Short, back and sandpaper the way to go these days.
Gave my 8 year old son a 16mm cut all over last week with my shaver. Looks pretty good!
I gave the 11 year old son a hair cut last week, the missus wasn't happy but she's came around now. TBF i was really pleased with the job i done and if you're being honest how can u get it wrong...? If it's a no 1 all over you just shave away, I promised him if he let me do it that i'd let him shave my head but when his was done i told him i hadn't time to get mine done and that i'd do it next week...lol
Razors, any one use the subscription ones?

Are they the ones you pay so much per month and get them posted to you?
I use the Harry ones, they're dead on but do blunt quicker than the wilkinson sword ones I used to use.
Cheers, thinking the same
Old fashioned safety razor, and 100 blades (for a tenner), does for ages and as good a shave as any overpriced Gillette blades I've previously used ... saves a small fortune.
Didn't even realise that those were still sold, to be honest!
But must have a look

Moved to these over a year ago myself. First few shaves cut the face off me but now that i'm used to it, they're certainly the way to go for a wet shave.
On a separate note, beard trimmers. Any recommendations for something decent at a reasonable price?
I use the Cornerstone stuff. It's grand. Shave every other day and box every 8 weeks or so does the job.
Will look it up , cheers
