grooming tips with marv the barb.

“Marv The Barb” is the barber of after these messages’ Print$ (Fontaine) and has earned a reputation as “a man of his craft”.  Marv has been cutting for over 20 years and takes on the titles of Educator and Grooming Consultant.  He also cuts for celebrities with clientele like Stevie Wonder, Brad Pitt, Hill Harper and Jay-Z.  Fellas, check out his grooming tips:

1. Cleanse your face with a cleanser

2. Apply a hot towel to the face to moisten and relax the bearded areas

3. Massage the face with pre-shaving oil to soften your beard and protect the skin for a smoother shave

4. Apply warm shaving cream to the face

5. Apply razor to the face. Stroke with the grain of hair. If neccessary, relather the face for a second pass. For a perfect shave, always stretch the skin before shaving the bearded area

6. After shaving, apply a warm towel to remove any hair and shave cream residue

7.  Apply an after shave lotion or balm to the cleaned shaved areas (Alcohol and grooming products that have alcohol properties are not skin healing. Alcohol dries the skin out. May cause bad irritation and a case of ingrown hairs)

8. Apply a cold towel to close the pores and lock in after shave balm

Note: ( Always identify with the skin types before shaving face. If the skin has excessive skin irritation, consult a physician or dermatologist to determine if skin can be shaved)

this picture is a concept conjured up by architect Martin Angelov called “Kolelinia“.  The Kolelinia concept questions whether or not we can achieve a new level of transportation using minimum resources.  The solution, Angelov proposes, is to ride bikes on a steel wire as a new bike lane.
