New York (AFP) - Procter & Gamble Friday revealed its latest challenge to earnings glory. This time it's a facial issue.

The US consumer giant, fresh off a recent corner office shakeup and already facing a battle for market share in shampoo, said second-quarter earnings were marred by the growing preference of men for moustaches and beards, which hit sales in its "grooming" segment.

I bought all 99 of 'em. Should last me for a year or two.

Boy, this is an educational thread, since I am an old white single lady. Seriously, can anyone here help me understand why on earth any normal male would want to eliminate the hair on his chest????? Whenever I see ads that show a hairless male chest, I want to gag. It is so unnatural.

It’s not unnatural for the men in my family. My father, brother, husband and sons are all without chest hair.

That said, I must admit that I like it that way (on hubby; I have no opinion about Daddy or the boys).

I was not criticizing a lack of chest hair so much as ad that show men using “NoNo” or other hair removing products in order to have shiny chests.

Hairless chests are normal in some, just as some families have bald-headed babies and others have infants with tons of hair.

I am all for the natural look for men.

This technique really works and I love the guys delivery. He's the "inventor" of this technique.

This shows how to sharpen multi-blade razor blade cartridges after they have exhausted their normal usefulness... the inventor of this technique, Terry Pundiak of Easton, PA , has been using the same cartridge for over 20 months, continuing having close, smooth shaves with no facial nicks.

Just so we're clear, I am not Terry Pundiak of Easton, PA. If I did this demonstration I would have worn a new, white cotton t-shirt.
