Please Discuss: How Do You Feel About Chest & Body Hair?
I'll admit...that's a pretty unlikely photo to accompany a post on ManMade. But, bear with me. (Get it?)

So, there's my face. Seven days of not shaving, and the half-beard I have to show for it.
Thankfully - the worst is behind me: most of the itching has subsided. Well, some, at least. I've stopped touching my face and thinking there's a furry creature attacking my head. And most importantly, I'm passed that weird inbetween stubble stage where my beard looks like it belongs on an 80s movie villain and I should have a ponytail and wear a white blazer with the sleeves rolled up and a giant cross earring… read more
