Who goes there? No! It can't be! Why yes, yes it is. It's Brad Pitt's face! Hello, face – we've missed you so. You were being strangled by that awful, hairy, itchy beard for so long and frankly, we're happy to see you've survived.

Yes, it's true. Brad Pitt did a little manscaping but probably not by choice. Pitt is filming Moneyball, where he plays Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane. I don't care what the reasons are – I'm just happy that the furry Muppet that was growing on his face is no more.

If you want your guy to do a little manscaping himself, try one of these tips below. Clearly, he's going to need your help.

Make sure his skin is prepped. Otherwise, you know the poor chap is just going to take a razor and water to his face and then wonder why he suddenly feels like sandpaper. Rub some light oil on sensitive skin to hydrate it or cornstarch to oily skin before shaving, says Caesar Jimenez, Licensed Skin Therapist at GROOM in San Francisco.

Use a hot towel for a few minutes to soften his hair, since it’s a lot coarser than ours. Also make sure he doesn't stand in the shower too long since it causes skin to swell, making a close shave more difficult.

Moisturize! He may stamp his feet and throw a temper tantrum but yes, he needs to moisturize. Again, sandpaper skin is not sexy. Be sly and stick one in his bag that has SPF in it.

Here's hoping Pitt's new film takes a long time to produce. We missed that gorgeous skin!
