Benecos For men only
Millions of men stand in front of the bathroom mirror every morning. For some, the routine begins, for others, a ritual starts. After showering, many men remove their beard stubbles only briefly with the electric shaver. This can be done quickly, but has the disadvantage that fine particles of the epidermis can be shaved off, too. In case of insufficient aftercare, skin irritations can occur. These reduce the positive effect a shave should actually have.
But there are also men who celebrate their shave as a real care ritual. At first, the facial skin is prepared with a hot moistened towel. Then, the mixed shaving foam is applied with a badger hair brush. Disposable razors are of course taboo. The classic straight razor is used. This requires exercise and a steady hand. This method is not only the oldest, but also the most demanding. But the effort is worth it because it is also the most thorough form of shaving. Those who felt the difference once will never shave again any other way.
Regardless of what kind of shave the man of today prefers, he is usually alone in the bathroom during his body care. This has not always been the case. One's own bathroom is a relatively young privilege. Until the 20th century it was quite common for all residents of a house to share one bathroom and one toilet together. Looking back on the last milleniums, this was already a huge step forward. In ancient Rome most of the tenement houses had no washing facilities at all. In the heyday of the Roman Empire, its capital was hopelessly overpopulated. In ”the eternal city“ most people lived in one of the approximately 40,000 insulae. In the five- to six-storey tenements, they had on average just under three square meters of living space per capita. For this reason, life took place mainly outside. For body care one went to one of the many public thermal baths. There you could take warm or cold baths, shave or even enjoy massages. Depending on how prudish the respective Emperor was, men and women were even allowed to step inside the basins together. They also used the toilets together. Instead of putting the toilets in cabins, as nowadays, they were arranged in U-shapes without a partition wall. So that one could have a chat easier. Here they met people from the neighborhood and learned about the latest gossip. The toilet at that time really was no ”quiet place“.
The thermal baths of Rome were always well-attended, because the men in the capital were very concerned about their appearance. From the Greeks they had taken over the preference for fragrant massage and body oils. Blemishes were combated with butter and barley powder. Also face powder and lipstick were quite normal for the men of the late Roman upper class. Some philosophers complained that the aristocrats spent more time in front of the mirror than by managing their lands. The simple people could only wonder. After all, care products were considered a ”women's thing“. Today, men appreciate a little help when it comes to body care. How uncomplicated and effective that can be is shown by the care series benecos For men only.
