Nicks and cuts after shaving are a teenage thing when you are just learning the art. However, a groomed man knows how to shave perfectly and avoid all the scars and marks caused by the nicks. Besides, he doesn t want to look amateurish and has certainly invested time in learning the technique. Do not forget to trim your nose and ear hair unless you want to don the look of one famous politician of our country.

Don t talk with food in the mouth

What s grouse than burping at the dining table is talking with food in your mouth. You might be declaring someone your heir but they are so not interested in the conversation when the vegetables or meat are also popping out from your mouth to ask for a share. If you are having an important conversation and have to eat too, take small morsels, finish it and then speak, it s simple.

Walk tall

There is something about the walk of the man which describes how classy he is (there may be exceptions). But wouldn t you look at a man who walks tall and proper instead of someone who stoops and drags his feet? Walking tall and straight exuberates confidence, so get your posture right with few exercises and practice. Here is how to look taller and leaner.

Visit a barber regularly

Long hair or short, clean shave or stubble is a personal choice. If you look neat, it s a sign you are groomed. Don t keep procrastinating on that hair cut that is due since a month. Make time for it, that s what groomed men do. If you like stubble, let it look like one. Don t keep it between a full grown beard and a trimmed beard. Visit the barber or use trimmers, it takes just 3-4 minutes. Know more on how often you must get a haircut.

Tidy shoes

After your smile, a woman notices your shoes. Yes, you are judged by your shoes and if those are dirty and worn out, you sure are not making an impression. And if your feet are smelly it’s a disaster! Here s how you can get rid of smelly feet. The key is to find a neat and good not necessarily expensive pair of shoes and maintain it. Formal shoes must be polished and shining and tattered shoes must be trashed immediately. If you are wearing slippers, ensure your feet are clean and nails trimmed. Find out how to pick the right pair of socks.

Smell good

Girls drooling over you because of your fragrance are best visualized in commercials. In reality, don t douse yourself with a lot of perfume. Choose a fragrance that is perfect for the season and does not give people a headache. Buy matching cologne and deodorants if possible so that the fragrance stays longer. Don’t struggle, here’s how to choose the right cologne. If you have body odour issues, eat foods that prevent body odour and try some natural remedies for body odour. Well-groomed men always take care of these essentials.

Neat hands

Where is the time for a manicure or grooming the hands? I have often seen busy and groomed men squeeze some time during lunch hours or during a call walk into salons and get a manicure. There is nothing feminine about it; in fact, it sets an impression that you are a perfectionist in all ways. If not a manicure, use a scrub on your hands once a week, trim nails and don t bite your nails or cuticles. That is achievable, isn t it? You can also try this for softer hands.
