Why do humans have pubic hair?
I know that's just the question you've been asking yourself, and Scientific American is here to help:
"Like many people, I ask myself continuously about some of life's biggest mysteries. Why are we here? What is the meaning of life? Why do we have those strangely sparse, wiry little hairs growing around our genitals--hair that is singularly different from all the other hair on our bodies?"
As a billboard, perhaps?
"Pubic hair acts as a sort of blinking marquee, indicating for prospective sexual partners that mating with that individual could be potentially a fruitful exercise in genetic perpetuity."

For those of you who use the popular microblogging service Twitter, you now have chance to follow not only Conan O'Brien, but to follow his beard as well.
Conan has almost 670,000 followers on Twitter, while his beard has less than 10,000 followers, but his beard feed might just be funnier than he is.
Here's Conan's Twitter feed:
And now we hear from Conan's beard:
What do you think, should his beard, not him, be the actual celebrity?
And hey, if you like celebrity body parts, you might want to check out Jay Leno's chin on Twitter.
Ever heard of genital-shaving-related traffic offenses? Let this be a lesson to you:
"Believe it or not, a woman in Florida has been charged with reckless driving after causing an accident while she was distracted as she shaved her pubic hair."
"Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis understands the value of facial hair. He's allowing fans to vote on one of four facial hair designs he could sport on Opening Day against the Yankees. There's his usual goatee, the Magnum P.I. mustache, the clean shaven look that is bizarre and bound to lose and the Fu Manchu (which would copy the Youk Manchu he grew last year for his official photo)."
"As a personal purveyor of the beard, I have a special affinity towards players that rock 'em on the court. So that's why I was so excited to see James Harden tweet the following question last week: In the NBA what's yall top 5 all beard team by position? At first you think this might be easy, but it's the by position that makes it hard."
I'm a big fan of Speick shaving products. They're high quality and I really like the scents. If you've never tried anything from Speick, now is your chance to do so for free.

"For centuries, men have been growing and styling their facial hair, whether for the sake of vanity, religion, or cultural considerations, but most of us don't give it a second thought. The Bearded Gentleman is an authoritative yet lighthearted guide that offers detailed information on some fifty specific facial hair styles: where they come from, how to grow them, and how to maintain them."
I've been shaving for about 25 years now, going from disposable cartridge razors to electric razors (including the ultimate shaving gadget), and most recently becoming a safety razor fan. But I've never had a razor set that actually looks good when I'm not using it (I do like the look of my Merkur, but it's not much to look at by itself.
So when Razor MD sent me their iGrip Chrome Razor Set to review, I was jazzed to have something that I would be proud to display on my bathroom counter.
The chrome iGrip set comes with a razor and brush stand, a badger hair brush, and the iGrip razor, all inside a very cool presentation box. When I first opened the box, my initial thought was "This would make an excellent gift", because it's something that just says heirloom all over it. Your sons will probably fight over who's going to inherit it...
The chrome razor and brush stand is pretty simple in appearance, but it has a classy look just the same. It holds your brush and razor up off of the counter with style, and is stable - not easy to knock over at all.
The chrome badger hair shaving brush is a hefty one. The weight of it felt good in my hand, and the very plush head worked great for whipping up a lather and working it into my whiskers.
Razor MD's iGrip razor also has a great feel to it (hence the iGrip name...) and looks pretty sweet sitting on the stand. It takes both the Mach3 and Fusion blades, and the neck swivels to meet the contours of your face quite easily. I rather enjoyed the shave.
The only drawback for me with this razor set is the fact that it's only for cartridges, which I don't normally use. I think the company would do very well if they were to introduce an iGrip with a safety razor head, which seems easy enough, considering that the head portion of the razor unscrews from the handle.
Overall, I really like the quality of this shaving set, and think it would make a great gift for a birthday, holiday, or Father's Day. It looks good, works well, and is priced reasonably.
Check out the company's other choices at Razor MD.

A Stache Chat? Hmm. I wonder what that's all about?
"The challenge in the fast-growing men's beauty segment is to find ways to wrap a quintessentially feminine product in masculine hues and lingo. It's a world in which eyeliner becomes "guyliner," anti-wrinkle cream turns into moisturizer, and bronzer changes to "power bronze."
"Some men will call it 'skin care' but no one calls it 'beauty care' or 'beauty products,' " said Mr. Lau, who has worked on Dove women's skincare lines at giant Unilever. "It's not the word they want to use."
Men and beauty in the same sentence - what a concept!
"Most women claim to be attracted to tall, dark and handsome men, but a new study has revealed that facial stubble and a geeky personality are their biggest secret turn-ons.
Despite complaining that it looks unkempt and feels rough to touch, the unshaven look on a man is actually a turn-on for 41 per cent of women.
A slightly geeky personality came second, proving that women really do like a guy who knows their stuff when it comes to technology."
