Book Description

January 1, 1999
Beyond Soap, Water, & Comb is the perfect guide for the man who wants to look equally good in a business suit or in jeans and a T-shirt, and who wants to feel confident in all situations. This stylish manual provides easy-to-follow tips for improving one's appearance and enjoying life, from dressing and grooming -- top to toe -- to relieving stress, exercising, and staying trim. Whether a man worries about his hair -- keeping it, losing it, or styling it -- or about how to keep his mind and body functioning smoothly, he'll find all the information he needs on these pages.

A man will learn how best so shave with success, to prevent skin from becoming sun-damage, to assemble and care fora classic wardrobe without spending a lot of time or money, to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routines, to sleep better at home or on the road, to break bad habits, to manage time efficiently, and to adopt such relaxation techniques as steaming Japanese baths or Swedish massages. This lively book will be a welcome gift for any man -- a boyfriend, a husband, a brother, a father, or a friend.

[O]ne of those books that every man should own. . . . colorful, conversational and easy to read with well-designed pages. . . .

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Much Beyond the Title, January 16, 2000
By 
Andrew Dand (New York City, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond Soap, Water and Comb: A Man's Guide to Good Grooming and Fitness (Hardcover)
The book has good intentions but it leaves you wanting more. A decent book that glosses over male topics but never really gives you the details that I have come to expect from other books.

2.0 out of 5 stars Form vs Content, January 14, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond Soap, Water and Comb: A Man's Guide to Good Grooming and Fitness (Hardcover)
A great looking book, which however fails to follow through by providing equally good content. Too often specifics are passed over in favour of vague generalities.

3.0 out of 5 stars Breezy, informative text with first rate photographs., February 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond Soap, Water and Comb: A Man's Guide to Good Grooming and Fitness (Hardcover)
Excellent presentation. Unlike many publications of this type that appear intimidating, this book is jam packed with non judgemental insights.
