NO!

Head & Shoulders should not be used on your face. Products designed for the VERY different environment of your head hair are not and should not be used on your face. In fact most beard dandruff or beardruff issues can be corrected by following this simple routine:

1. If you don’t drink enough water, drink some damn water.
2. Exfoliate in the shower. Use a good beard comb to rake the skin of your face to loosen up and help the next step. I like the carbon fiber combs from Chicago Combs. Model No. 8 is my personal go to.
3. Use a gentle beard wash every single day. Not a head hair shampoo, not soap, not any other weird concoction. You can use bar soap or a beard stripping wash once a week or so to reset the beard but not more often than that.
4. Use beard oil and apply down to the skin after the shower while your beard is damp.

That’s it! Everyone else diagnosing fungal infections and all this other crap need to stop! It’s really not more complicated than that. Are there exceptions? Sure, but they’re not the rule.

Went for lunch today. The star of the cheesesteak was the bread. The cheese is cooper sharp so not much else to add there. I was HIGHLY disappointed in the steak quality. Tons of fat chewy chunks getting stuck in my teeth. Could’ve been an off day but I’m unlikely to return. I still like when the meat and cheese shine through with the roll playing supporting actor. Ive recently tried Angelo’s and they were very similar expect Angelo’s had less chewy fat bits so they get the nod. So far the best new age cheesesteak for me has been Cafe Carmela. Couple more out there but thought I’d share! I did stop at Holmesburg Bakery to get some cream donuts on the way home so I wasn’t too sad!

Just wanted to let folks know about the 10% off $500 Starbucks gift cards on Newegg with discount code posted on that option. I used my Paze account at checkout linked to my CFU to get a the $500 card for less than $400 net total with both the 10% and 11.5% Paze+CFU combined discounts applied. For anyone that uses Starbucks frequently that’s a solid deal!
