The Lost Shavers of Instagram

You see, I've got this backlog. And sometimes by the time I'm ready to share a particularly loin-stirring image of a shaving gentleman, the source account has been shut down or relocated. I was able to rediscover Collin Mayne’s Instagram beefcake-o-rama, but what follows are two shaving hotties I haven't been able to find online …

For the Love of Hot Italian Men Having a Shave

Sometimes I think if it weren't for Turkish barbers and sexy Italian models I wouldn't have anything to live for. Okay, that's a bit of an overstatement, but shaving lather and the black-bearded Mediterranean male go together so beautifully, and following last week's post (Daniele Maullu Shaves Paolo, the Samurai Shaving Guy) these latest Instagram finds …

Shaving with Matt 1989

Sometimes I write about pretty male models in shaving commercials who are made unreally flawless by ample makeup, lighting tricks, and post-production effects. I love those commercials and I love those models, even if, technically, those men don't actually exist. Then there are the dozens of good-looking average joes who are part of the traditional …

Who is Dani Eid?

The answer is: I'm not sure. The image of him shaving with his mouth wide open popped up in my search results when I was looking for someone else this morning, and I tried to find out more about him and more or less failed. He is a model, personal trainer, and possibly an actor, …

Model and Lifestyle Blogger Marcel Floruss

Click around on the internet as long as I have looking for photos of men shaving and you end up seeing the same faces again and again. I'm not complaining because it's amazing how much there is out there, but even within that bounty, there is repetition. So it came as a pleasant surprise to …

Gay Adult Film Actor Austin Wolff

I've trained the the Instagram algorithm to the point where all it shows me now is shirtless fitness models, shirtless athletes, and shirtless gay celebrities. I'm okay with this. Although my view of reality has become sufficiently warped that when I see men out in public wearing clothes on the top half of their bodies, …

“I am a Camera” and One Drop-Dead Gorgeous Italian Model

I read this quote from the first page of Christopher Isherwood's novel, Goodbye to Berlin, a long time ago now. I think I found it in a Google search (or was it AltaVista? Yes, it was that long ago.) back in the day. Perhaps I was disappointed that there wasn't a photo associated with it—images …

“Can’t Help Falling in Love With You”

I can't help falling in love with this adorable German guy doing his best Elvis impersonation while shaving, and I bet you'll agree with me. This video was posted on YouTube more than a decade ago, and it's been nearly that long since my friend known as Barbershave notified me about it, so it's been …

What Shaving Means to Me

Is My Love of Shaving an Example of Partialism? I recently came across the word "partialism" in a video from self-described “YouTuber and ex-philosopher” Natalie at ContraPoints. It’s a word I hadn’t heard before. She defines it in discussing the controversy swirling around J.K. Rowling and her fight with the trans community, “I mean Freud …

Flexing and Shaving with Body Builder Andrea Mosti

I would guess that outside of conservative 1950s advertising and sitcoms, the vast majority of men shave shirtless. After all, unless you’re in a locker room or a military barracks, you probably have some privacy, so why bother getting a shirt all wet? Heck, why even bother with clothes at all? But I digress. My …
