Well guys, it is seriously time to wake up, especially if you are ready to tie the knot anytime soon. And if not for yourself, at least start maintaining and grooming yourself for your would-be and spare her the horror of living with a cave man. So, without further ado, here are some grooming habits that you need to adopt and a few you need to drop ASAP!
Why would you want to sport the same old hairstyle and beard for years together? Not only will it make you look boring and dull, but will also affect your professional and personal life as only if you look good, you feel good. So, go for a change, because as they say, sometimes, change can be really good!
Well, change is definitely good but going for a completely different look just before your wedding can leave your partner shocked at the altar. So, to spare her the horror, if you wish to experiment, make sure it is at least 2-3 weeks before the wedding for the look to settle down on your face.

Dry shaving, not using a good hydrated shaving cream that suits your skin type, using too many blades in one razor, not changing the razor blades often, using the blade in wrong directions, not applying an after-shave lotion etc, are shaving habits you need to mend!
