And what with the mud and all, a guy could almost convince himself that he’s experiencing a manly Band of Brothers moment during the Mud Detox Treatment. But the Absolute Shave is like butter on bread-a guy’s skin never felt so smooth (from $55). 900 W. Georgia St., 604-684-2772. Absolutespa.comGary Cooper never said, “Boy, I sure like facials,” but that shouldn’t stop even the most macho from indulging in Pacific Rim Willow Stream’s Post Game Facial ($159), square jaw held high. The deep-cleansing treatment repairs and protects skin subject to perspiration (that’d be you, gym rat) and includes a pampering shoulder and neck massage, plus an arm, hand, and foot exfoliation and massage. 1038 Canada Pl., 604-695-5550.
