I don’t know about you, but in the cold, dark, dead of winter, keeping my legs freshly shaven and silky smooth starts to drift toward the bottom of my to-do list. Maybe it’s the abundance of pants that I wear this time of year. Perhaps I’m hoping a little extra leg hair will shield me from [...]

A guy friend of mine recently confessed to having a somewhat unusual grooming habit: he waxes his chest.
