BASIC ADVICE AND DISCLAIMER

YOUR BODY IS UNIQUE, FIND OUT WHAT WORKS FOR YOU AND YOU ALONE!

There is a lot of really good stuff in this thread, but some people have REALLY oily hair. For the love of cookies, wash that shit. Some people just can't shave their body hair because it comes back in so aggressively. Some people have really dry skin and shouldn't put soap on their ass every day. Some people need to take more extreme measures against bad breath than others. Some people are naturally sweaty and need constant anti-perspirant, some are naturally dry and will bleed everywhere if they don't moisturize throughout the day.

Take the advice of others and the advice in this thread as ideas to experiment with. Do not commit any of this to your lifestyle until you confirm that it agrees with your body

My general rule of thumb when it comes to hygiene: don't believe the hype. Pay attention to your body. Use as few products as you possibly can.

BEDSHEETS

Wash your bedsheets quite often, you should feel comfortable that your bed is clean. Change your pillowcase even more often.

ORAL CARE

If you have terrible breath, but always brush and floss, check the back of your mouth in a mirror around your tonsils. You may notice a yellowy white ball stuck in the back of your throat. It may be a tonsil stone. Try to get it out with your finger or use a salt water rinse. Smell it afterwards for pleasure.

Brush your tongue when brushing your teeth

Hold your thumb in your fist and squeeze as tight as you can while you brush your tongue. It should suppress the need to gag

SWEATY PALMS : If I know I will have to shake some hands at a meeting I wash them with cool (not cold, cold can cause the capillaries to dilate and warm your hands even more) water and then I put some unscented antiperspirant on them. My hands stay dry and I think I give a more favorable first impression.

SHITTING

put something under your feet when you take a crap. something that elevates your knees about a foot or two. easiest, cleanest, fastest shits i've ever taken were with my legs slightly elevated.

FLOSS

Reach access flosser for flossing

ASS CARE

Clean your ass. Get in there with some soap and water.

Basically, if you're massaging your prostate, you're doing it wrong. Part those crack cushions and give yourself a good lathery wipe from gooch to tailbone - be thorough now, arse hair can be like a tea-strainer in the worst possible way.

If you have a detachable shower head you can use it to hose your ass off easily while showering and you'll feel cleaner than if you just used your hand.

If you're in a hurry just remember the mantra: crack, sack, pits, and teeth. A flannel, warm water, and a minute of your time are all it takes to avoid being smelly for the day.

WASHING THE BACK

I got a long, rough washcloth. It's about 2 feet long and 8 inches wide, with a very coarse texture. Now I can clean my own back in the shower. It feels great!

FACE CARE WITH HONEY

Wash your face with honey! I got this from another redditor actually and it has done absolute wonders for my skin. I had moderate acne no matter what I tried on my face and as soon as I started doing this, it all but disappeared. My skin is now super soft and blemish-free and all I use is the honey and a moisturizer.

BEARD CARE

If you have a BEARD, wash your BEARD! It is hair on your face and must be shampooed as often as the rest of the hair on your head. No one likes an oily smelly beard.

UNDERARMS

Guys: Buzz your underarm hair regularly. Don't shave it, just buzz it. Less hair = less stink. Same applies for OTHER HAIRY AREAS, if you catch my crotch.

PENIS CARE Always dry your penis properly, seriously the drying of it does far more to determine how clean it is than the washing. Pro tip, a really soft towel, like the material a dressing gown is made of, will work the best. Nothing worse than producing a sweaty / clammy, potentially smelly, penis.

so wash foreskin if uncircumcised - make sure to get between the head tissue and skin...

***

How exactly do you shave your balls? Carefully.Or Trim Once or twice a week, maybe?

Shave in the shower. Get a Mach 3 or similar with a new blade. Use a moisturizing shampoo, I use Dove. Lather it all up, stretch the skin, and take small strokes. Reapply shampoo as necessary. Do small areas at a time, not one long stroke across the whole thing. Rinse the blade often. You'll get more comfortable as you get used to doing it.

Basically you start by pulling both your balls forward. It helps to sort of push your cock in and pull that balls over top. Shave back to front. side to side, just pull the skin taughtto each side, still somewhat forward and shave what makes sense. Inflate areas where you didnt get all the hair by positioning the testicle there while tightening the skin again. ie: the flanks of your penis. Just do it till it looks good and dont use anything with menthol-esque properties in it.

The first time you do it, trim your hair as short as possible. Shave in the shower using lots of lather- I used to use Noxema shaving cream with aloe but found after a while I could use well lathered soap. Go slowly, be careful, and keep lathering. Rinse well with cool water and prepare for it to itch the first few times. As you get better, it gets easier and it will make summer much more enjoyable. Pro tip- I use a woman's triple bladed razor- the wide short handle is perfect for the shower.

just stretch out the skin and shave normally. As long as you use a 5-blade you'll probably never cut yourself.

It's really not as bad as you'd think. After you do it once, you won't even think about it and it'll be like any other routine. Just use a good razor and you'll be fine.

Alcohol-free aftershave (NICE aftershave, check r/wicked_edge) really helps prevent razor burn and ingrown hairs. Mine is from Art of Shaving.

Powder your balls.

For uncircumsized men : Everytime you shower, you MUST clean your foreskin and penis. Smegma is the worst and most foulest smelling thing on earth and a girl will not suck your dick if it makes her gag and want to kill you. Furthermore, pulling out your dick to fap cuz you're forever alone, only to puke because of the smell is equally horrible. It is very important to pull back your foreskin completely (for young guys it might hurt a bit because your skin might not have stretched completely. I used to have this problem where my skin was very sensitive and pulling it back literally made it feel like it was going to rip but over time I pulled it further and further until it stopped hurting) So you need to pull back completely, wash off whatever smegma you have down there, then lather with soap and clean thouroughly. Be careful as soap in the urethra stings like a bitch. Pro tip: don't forget to clean the parts that you can't see by just looking down

*

Spray cologne on the ass of your pants before going somewhere fancy. It helps mask the smell if you have to fart. I was told behind the ears, so at bars with loud music when girls lean in to talk you got them covered.

SHOWERING

Dry off in the shower. When you're done and you shut the water off, stand within the basin as you dry off. It keeps your floor dry and your bathmat from developing that god-awful mildew smell.

PREVENTING CHAFING

There are a lot of different types. Go to a running store and ask around for them. They're really helpful! For e.g. see Chafestick.com

BELLY BUTTON CARE

Clean inside your belly button with a Q-tip and wash behind your ears.

Preface and Credits to the Notes Below

Here is the time schedule and framework that goes with the below notes.

https://i.imgur.com/Y9QjXmV.jpg

Some of the advices are from outside reddit like wikihow.com too. Reddit sources include some AMA(not sure), and reading prominent threads and lots of other threads having keywords like nail care, hair care etc.

As a result, it is a mix of copied text from different sources and some formatting and text added by me here and there. Almost nothing was added by me.

So, shout out to all the people who have written down the tips and advices at different places. I don't remember and didn't note down the sources since this notes were compiled over 2-3 months.This compilation couldn't have been without your contribution.

I have only noted down what I felt and thought was good and sensible. There might be few places where multiple advices are present for same topic. Choose what looks good to you.

I have just started to implement the advices and tips comprehensively in my life but haven't done completely to the hilt. Whatever few I have followed, is helping me a lot.
