Thread: Does wet shaving make you look younger?

I'm 61, I started wetshaving about a year ago, and several friends have commented that I look younger since then. My observation is that I do seem to have a healthier, less "aged" look to my face. After all, you're doing a mechanical facial peel every day.

My mom always said I'd grow up to be a hobo if I didn't learn some manners.

About a year ago I went on a "speed dating" thing that a genius friend of mine organized. The purpose of the event, however, was not to get a date, but to get brutally honest feedback from the ladies about every aspect of our demeanors.

One consistent comment I got was, "has very good grooming," which really means "has a very nice shave." (One consistent negative I got was my crooked teeth, but I'm not willing to stop boxing to get that fixed).

The ladies do notice the stuff we learn here, of that you may be assured. Dunno whether it makes you look younger, but it definitely makes you look better.

I've notice my skin improve over the last couple months. In particular, I get complements if those nasty silver tips are cut off my chin. Pinaud Bay Rum also leaves the skin with a little shine.

Wet shaving is good for your skin, the brush helps with that. I've also heard that stretching the skin upward on your face when you shave is good for the muscular health of your face.
