A close shave for two hunks

Milind Soman and Kunal Kapoor, who’ve recently shaved off their famously sexy stubble, tell us why men are choosing to sport the clean shaven look.
A close shave for two hunks
It was part of their macho appeal ��� Milind Soman���s rugged beard and wild, long locks, and Kunal Kapoor���s urbane but sexy stubble.
But the two hunks have recently shaved off their stubble and chosen to go for the smooth, clean look. What made them do it was Gillette Mach 3 Turbo. ���I���ve never had any problem playing with my looks. We���re actors, we need to meet the demands of different characters.

And with Gillette, the best thing is that it doesn���t scratch your skin. When I decided to go for a makeover, it���s the only one I could think of,��� says Kunal. Milind agrees, saying, ���It is so gentle and smooth on the skin. I didn���t opt for a makeover just because females like clean shaven guys. I was getting bored with my looks and wanted to play around with them. It���s just about the way you feel comfortable.���
The macho men were in a pretty playful mood when we found them, spraying shaving foam on each other and watching themselves in the mirror to see if their shave was close enough. Weren���t they worried that some girls might not find them so hot anymore without their stubble? ���I don���t know whether I had a female fan following because of my stubble, but I hope they don���t run away now that I���ve removed it!��� laughs Kunal. And Milind adds, ���I don���t know if women like men clean shaven or with a stubble, but one thing is for sure ��� a guy has to be confident about his looks.���
While Milind is busy promoting regional cinema, Kunal says, ���I���m doing a very hatke film with Sanjay Dutt and an out-and-out action thriller with Anurag Kashyap.��� Kunal seems to be taking risks in cinema ��� or should we say, he���s developed a keenness to walk the razor���s edge?
