O que as mulheres devem saber sobre o barbear de um homem
Última atualização em 25 de setembro de 2026
Ladies, I want you to know what a good shave means to a man. It may not seem of particular importance, but given that plenty of men do it every morning it’s a good thing for you to know about. Especially, since many men are still doing it wrong, and I’m hoping you can help me with that.
It may have been a while since the last time you treated yourself to a spa day. As a guy, I never really understood what the attraction was, that is until one night while shaving it hit me. A number of my friends will frequently mention that they need a good spa day; they want an escape, a chance to relax, to focus on themselves, and to come out ready to tackle life’s hurdles with fresh vigor. Who wouldn’t want that?
É surpreendente que eu tenha demorado tanto tempo a perceber porque é que eles gostavam tanto deles, porque é exatamente isso que o meu os rituais de barbear fazem por mim; é exatamente o que um bom barbear e tem sido a pedra angular da decisão sobre o que oferecer no meu serviço. Em suma, um bom barbear, com as ferramentas corretas, is a quick spa day each and every morning. Don’t let its brevity make you think any less of it; it’s a powerful shot of indulgent espresso right when you need it, at the start of the day.
Agora, imagine que, no seu último dia de spa, as velas perfumadas tinham sido substituídas por Febreze, os produtos de beleza tinham sido apanhados junto à caixa do Boots e que quem devia cuidar de si tinha falado ao telefone durante todo o tempo. Seria desculpado se não pensasse muito em spas ou, pior ainda, se pensasse que eram simplesmente uma tarefa árdua. A má notícia é que o teu pai O barbear é, neste momento, uma espécie de dia de spa; ele usa um aparelho de barbear genérico gel de uma lata, cheira a produtos químicos, compra lâminas de barbear a uma empresa (que, por razões legais, não podemos nomear) que o tem em pouca conta e o insulta com preços que são quase um roubo, e o que deveriam ser os seus 5 minutos de indulgência são, em vez disso, uma tarefa de 5 minutos.
Um bom barbear (one that includes a fantastic razor, a shaving brush, and a rich shaving cream, and it’s no good if it comes from a can!) is actually quite narcissistic, the guy is alone in the bathroom and is having an absolute “me time”. Lathered in a manly fragrance, he’s staring at himself in the mirror and this gives cause for a couple of things. First, he can’t help but reflect on life, taking stock of the good and the bad, which helps to put everything into perspective. Sometimes I’m amazed at how much I can sort out in those 5 minutes. That leads to the second, he starts to relax and cut through stress. It’s almost symbolic as he washes down the drain his shave, his stress goes with it. I’ll admit, that’s a tad cheesy, but there’s no denying that after he’s finished shaving, he will be more centred and settled. Finally, the act of staring at himself while he takes 5 minutes to work on himself is invigorating. At the end of his shave he’s better looking than at the start, but mostly, after going through this process, he feels stronger. He comes out of that bathroom a happier and more confident man. A good shave, is an entire spa day packed into 5 minutes! And he can have it each and every morning.
I know it’s a challenge to find something good for one’s dad, whether it’s for Father’s Day or his birthday, it’s hard for me too! So, do yourself a favour, check out o meu conjunto de oferta e dar-lhe um dia de spa todas as manhãs.
