It was only a matter of time before them furry boys of Beard Team USA would get a wild hair up their ass and decide to take on the World. The latest reality TV series - Whisker Wars.



The 2011 World Beard and Mustache Championship happened this year in Norway. Beard Team USA produced a slick and intimidating video that captures both the sport of 'Bearding', the comraderie and downright (ahem) cut-throat competitiveness that must be going on behind the scenes. "You mess with my whiskers - You messin' with me!" kinda take no prisoners attitude is pervasive. Especially from them Texas Good Ol' Bear Boys who threaten to succeed from the union like they were still at the Alamo.

Primping and Pettiness. Bushy Beards and Brovado. It all cumulates as cheesy Reality TV slices and dices the reality of what a hairy man's alpha-male beard really means to him -- and what can be packaged and sold to Pop Culture viewers as a tune-in-and watch series. Frankly, I'd have preferred alot less backstabbing and whisker-dissing, and more whisker-rubs and kissing scenes between these men.

An ever growing range of specialized men's body and beard grooming tools are on the market for precision facial hair and body fur management from head to toe. Long gone are the clean cut, clean shaven days of the post WW II war era. Men are free - both professionally and casually - to explore different facial hair styles.

In particular, long sideburns and full goatees are trending right now. Precision goatee, mustache and beard styles are now possible with complete cordless beard trimmer sets which include a wide variety of trimming attachments. Many of these include specialized attachment heads for nose and ear hair trimming as well.

Many men will find that a traditional hair clipper barber set may be all they need. They're especially useful with fuller and longer beards and precise, full goatee shapes. This just-the-basics approach should be done with a high-quality clipper set, and ideally, once that includes a FULL set of attachment combs ranging from a #1 to #8 that allows trimming from 1/8" to a full inch. Hair clippers with an adjustable side lever will give you even more precise hair length options in-between. A set which includes a fine-toothed T-Finisher will help with detailing.

Even the category of mens grooming accessories has expanded as Manscaping and Body Grooming tools are available to trim back and body hair below the neckline for a neat appearance of body hair anywhere. Often combining both a trimmer and a razor, the best body groomer accessories trim the hair down to a short stubble first, then allow the razor portion of the body grooming tool to shave down close. Men now have all the tools necessary for full body grooming, head, and facial hair management.

Our notion of 'hair clippers' has changed dramatically as manufacturers of mens grooming kits - and a guys grooming needs - evolve. The 'Miami-Vice' style of a short, stubbly three-day beard is popular again, so a whole new genre of stubble-trimmers are designed for just that. A stubble trimmer is also great as the first stage of full-body shaving. With 99% of the hair bulk removed by a stubble trimmer, wet body shaving of the rest with the best body groomer - razor combo is far easier.

Bald heads are just a genetic fact of life for many men. So for guys who have a predisposition for baldness, some very unique grooming accessories have appeared on the market. There are Balding Clippers with ultra-close clipper blade designs that you won't find in a traditional hair clipper. And balding razors specifically designed to avoid nicks and cuts to the scalp while providing an ultra-close, completely smooth noodle shave - safely.

Lucky day for me at the little old Lutheran church-ladies second-hand store. Cuz I found a great $2 deal on a used:
Remington HC-8017B Precision 22 Piece Corded Haircut Kit.

Ok, well considering it was second-hand, there was only about 10 pieces of the 22-piece clipper set. But it had a half-dozen clipper guides from #1(1/8") to #6 (3/4") which I needed for Manscaping, Scalp and Beard trimming, was in 'like new' shape with clean, sharp, only-used-a-coupla-times blades. And when I hopped on Amazon to find what the complete set cost - I was surprised to find the Remington set sells new for under $15!

A better surprise: This Remington clipper is GOOD. 1. The adjustment lever STAYS PUT - which unfortunately other hair clippers don't and change length at the worst moments. 2. The hair-cutting guides are VERY well designed, they slide onto the entire blade head and hold VERY securely. 3. The clipper operates at a deep, vibrating rumble, not the clacky whine of some clippers. What it lacks at this price range is an Adjustment Screw - which some clippers desperately need to run quitely and for the blades to be set to oscillate optimally. Still, the Remington purrs perfectly without one.

Overall, a well desgined Manscaper tool - that cuts beautifully - at HALF THE COST of most other comparable clipper sets. AND it comes with a nice storage box with latching lid. One of the best men's grooming deals ever - you read it here first at www.bear-hairy-men.com

P.S. Wanna go UPSCALE in your grooming and Manscaper toolkit? At the high-end there's the Remington HKVAC-2000 Precision Vacuum Haircut Kit with a built-in vacuum to, well, at least minimize some or most of the stray hair clippings while you're doing your dirty work.
