<p>In Sydney, I pay $20-25 for a cut generally in the Chatswood area.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No. 2 sides and back, No. 5 over the top with a nice short blend in between the two.</p>
<p>No. 1 over the burns and a straight razor to finish the neck and I'm good for another 4 weeks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I too also have my own set of Wahal professional clippers but those are reserved for "manscaping" which is done on the average of once every 8 - 12 weeks depending on season.</p> -
<p>$40 every 4 weeks for wash, cut and blow-dry. If I want a flat white (which I invariably do) the salon's blonde junior goes next door and gets me a proper one, no charge.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I used to spend 75 quid (plus tip!) a month in Canary Wharf, so 40 bucks is perfectly fine with me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My brother pays $14 but it looks like it.</p> -

<p>You have to spend that extra dollar for the best result. </p> -
<p>DIY bro over here. Was paying $25 for a #2 on my head and a #4 on my beard, plus a bit of beard and neck trimming. Probably every 3 weeks? Got a set clippers and sort myself out now - probably cut my hair more often now and as a balding fulla that helps it look a bit tidier.</p>

<p> It's the moisturizers that cost the big bucks</p>

<p>Yep, pretty doesn't come cheap. Personally I like the Anthony Oil Free Facial Lotion SPF30. Brilliant stuff. Recipe for Men is also very good. For hair products, American Crew stuff is pretty good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edit: Jeez some of those products look kind of dodgy when you write them down, don't they?</p> -
<p>are we really going to start talking about facials... don't we have another thread for that sort of shenanigans!!?</p>

<p>get your face dirty when playing rugby, that's all the facial treatment you need!</p>

<p>Ahhh... Now a topic near and dear to my heart... Men's grooming habits.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Personally I use the following products:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Post shaving - Clinique for Men Post-shave soother</p>
<p>Moisturizing - My preferred brand is the Clarins Men's range</p>
<p>Mornings -I'm currently using the Super Moisture Balm which is excellent in winter as it is a bit thicker and heavier for those dry windy winter days.</p>
<p>During summer months I switch to the lighter but still excellent Super Moisture Gel</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Evenings - After the evening shower and before bed I mix it up between the Revitalizing Gel and the Line-Control Balm.</p>
<p>When I'm feeling the need for an extra moisture boost, I will use the Fatigue Fighter which is like a leave on mask.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For cleansing I keep with the Clinique brand for cleanser and toner.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As I'm all too quickly approaching 50 (next year), the Line-Control Balm is really becoming the go-to product to maintain those youthful good looks. :hi:</p> -

<p>Nah, just a few extra minutes to moisturize day and night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please note, I didn't list any hair product as I don't bother to use any as I keep my hair short as detailed above.</p> -

<p>Yeah, I think it's about $60 here in Aus. You don't need to use a lot, focusing primarily on the areas around the eyes and forehead where wrinkles are most likely to develop.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Worth it though, at least I like to think so.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did mention I'm turning 50 next year so consider it the makings of a midlife crisis.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Except for the small fact that I've been using moisturizer since I was in my late teens.</p> -

<p>The fern has been refreshingly honest that past couple of weeks!</p> -
Are we being honest enough for waxing confessions yet?
-

<p> </p>
<p>Sack and crack? </p>
