MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
Plenty of tools on Amazon for removing pubes at the mo (bargains). But has anyone successfully used a Remington ‘foil’ type razor down there?
Seems like less chance of nicks and cuts vs two parallel blades.
currently I’m using a Philips one blade with the green body comb attachment, and I’m feeling that i could get a closer shave still.
Being on blood thinners, I don’t want to risk losing three pints, unnecessarily.
As for nasal trimming. Isn’t it about time that Philips, etc designed a trimmer that can cut nose hairs that are parallel to the inside of the nose?

(Imagine standing inside of a crop circle and trying to mow down the already flattened corn stalks).
I thought waxing was the new man thing 🤔
Turkish barber ear hair stylee, or why bother at all?
Username kind of checks out....?
Worryingly, my FB feed recently got hit by ads for two specialist hair removing creams, one for the nuts and one for the butt.
Obviously now this useless (to me) information is not appearing when it might be useful for someone else.
Anyway, real men use tweezers.
Real men use pliers...tweezers take far too long with their weedy girth and the 1 hair at a time.
The pukka manscaping tools are a bit pricey and from the reviews posted on Amazon, not as foolproof as perceived.
i plumped for one of these:
still scope for improving the design of nose trimmers.
I just don't understand this world anymore

You and me both. I keep getting a Gillette advert on Youtube - "Going to shave down there are we"? Me - "WTF NO"?
Facebook has just dropped the ads again for "Nutcare" and "Barebutt"
I used the old Philips bodygroom model 2024 looks like they’ve rejigged to newer versions, I have a feeling that a lot of the manscape shavers are more marketing hype than the BG which does what says on the can.
Only thing I’d say about closer shaves is that you can get the odd ingrown hair pimple type thing.

TBH you don’t have to go for the pornstar look, you can just trim the lawn a bit,I find I’m a lot less sweater around armpits and downstairs with a bit of gardening.YMMV

TBH around here,Spain, lasering seems to be the latest trend.
- The one from Amazon arrived this morning. It’s actually very effective with those wispy hairs on the ‘two veg’. The built in light helps and I didn’t feel petrified at all.
The Philips one blade with the clip on protector still seems better for denser pubes.
I’d still like someone to invent a nasal trimmer that cuts at right angles to the direction of hair growth.
at the mo, most trimmers are only still 90% there. You still need the tweezers to complete the rigmarole.
in the meantime, some kind of balm to smear up the nostrils might loosen the hairs to make them easier to cut?
Don't fancy breathing that balm in...softens the hairs, but what would it do to the sinus or lungs? No thanks.

No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die.

Veet works reasonably well, but any more than 6 minutes and it starts to burn!!!

I love the smell of burning hair in the morning!
Having done this for years purely for comfort, I’m pretty adept at using cheap plastic razors. 🤷🏼♂️
I tried veet once- it was quite unpleasant
From that Amazon review
Veet -- the Men's Hair Removal Gel Creme (from hell) . . .
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 July 2012
After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly successful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits.
Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit of a treat.I ordered it well in advance and working in the North sea I considered myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types...oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was.
I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn't have long to wait.
At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head.
Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the destruction of the meat and two veg.
Struggling to not bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel of in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair.Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief.
I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, tore the lid of and positioned it under me. The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing soon returned.
Due to the shape of the ice cream tub I hadn't managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the draw for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon. I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so. I took a handful of them and tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse.
This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found it's way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running it's engines behind me.This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain.
The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before.
Unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering..." Ooooh that feels good "
Understandingly this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn't heard her come in it caused an involuntary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction.
I can understand that having a sprout farted against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn't the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn't improve my status...
So to sum it up Veet removes hair, dignity and self respect....... :-
Thread resurrection for Christmas…has anyone got any good or bad things to say about the manscaped gear for body hair?

très stylé

Same. Greatest victory of late-stage capitalism since convincing motorists they need a 4x4 for the school run.
I never knew pubic freestyling was popular with the MTB fraternity.
Sounds like a grooming kit would be a wholly appropriate prize for the Megasack!
Let's square the circle
Grooming without resorting to overpriced products? Allow me the introduce the only thing that I've used to shave my face, head (fully bald) armpits, ass & pubes for about 15 years: the Wahl Groomsman, circa £15
AA batteries ( though I believe there's a rechargeable one also), self sharpening blade (a just run a little t-cut on it if you really want it sharper) & accessories included also. If you really can't find it there's the same thing sold for trimming dogs in pet shops with a different package/colour.

Me. It's good, works well, no cuts, adjustable, keeps things looking tidy.
Turkish barber ear hair stylee, or why bother at all?
I popped in and asked them but they refused to do my pubes.

Weird
OTOH I went to the barber in Morocco with all the locals and they loved it. Did set fire to the razor though...
A steady hand and a pair of scissors does me perfectly well to keep things under control.
Not sure I want designer stubble down there.
I was wondering what the long, folding probe-like accessory was here.
A few pictures down illustrates it as an extension handle for back mowing. No more dangling the clippers by the cable at the right angle, this is good.
I get that I'm old and out of touch, but it has never once crossed my mind to indulge in any pubic topiary. I genuinely didn't know it was a thing for fellas until a couple of years ago when the ads for 'manscaping' razors started popping up on t'internet. Yes, I am that befuddled old bloke struggling to make sense of the modern world!
I'm not tempted to try it. But if I did, I reckon some kind of petrol strimmer might be needed to thin out the forest of clock springs.
Having dabbled with some self topiary when I was an embarrassed early developing, early teen, I cannot imagine how excruciatingly itchy having ones fruit and veg fully quaffed would be. I get that it looks a little bit tidier but does it not itch like bu66ery? Does the constant scratching not counter the allure of the more naked ape?
Depends on the device you use to do the clipping imho

Nope. The back of my neck does a couple of days or so after shaving my head, but for comfort I’ve been shaving ‘down there’ for years, actually decades, and it’s never been a problem, basically ‘cos it’s not sweaty any more.
And I wear wear shorts most of the time as well - it has to get pretty cold for me to put my combat trousers on, they’re too warm most of the time.
Oh, and I’ve tried using a shaver, it wasn’t successful, I went back to using regular disposable plastic razors. 🪒
It just pays to be slow and steady; and careful. 😉
I've always found a personal phillips style trimmer with a number 2 guard works quite well for above the machinery, and just a bog standard razor on the auld sack in the shower does the trick, being careful not to move the razor sideways obviously, thank god for natural stretch eh.
On my baldy noggin a bit of shaving foam and a bic does the job. If you suffer with razor burn buy an alum block off amazon, wet it and rub it over the shaved area just after, but I will warn you it does sting

This thread is, wholly predictably, turning into the Nail Varnish 2.0 thread.
Many of the correspondents here shave their heads. Plenty of women shave their eyebrows. Yet as soon as our bits are involved we get all weird about it. It's still just hair.
It's not normal though.

Calm down dear.
1. I've no idea what the "Nail Varnish 2.0 thread" is.
2. I don't doubt for a second that people on here have all sorts of personal grooming regimes and I've no issue with any of them.
3. I haven't denigrated, mocked or even commented on other grooming people's habits, on here or elsewhere. Nor would I.
4. I'm struggling to see what was "weird" about what I said. If anything, I was taking the piss out of myself for being old, out of touch and boringly (small 'c') conservative.
Chill out a bit eh?
Indeed. I paint my balls and shave my nails and I'm 69 years old
Wtf people keep saying this to me. Truthfully, I'm not as fast as dazh
It's not normal though.
It absolutely is for the younger population.
I feel empathy with Zohan.

it shows how deranged and pathetic the young are.
Or it shows that a different generation has different grooming standards to the one before. Nothing deranged about it, different people like different things.
I guess it depends on your generation/outlook on it, but i see no issue with keeping things tidy down there (and armpits, chest, other hairy parts).
Clean shaven.... defo not, who wants to look like an 11 year old boy.
But keeping it trim and in check, definitely.
More hair = more dirt, sweat and smell to cling on to.
If you are lucky enough to have a partner venture down there, i am sure most would be more pleased with a well kept lawn than the amazon jungle. (some niches may vary).
I dunno, each to their own, but well kept body hair just seems overall nicer to me?!
On a personal note, i am blessed that i am not hairy at all! And my missus approves too!
Normalisation of body hair trimming is just capitalism doing it's thing. More things we need to buy to fit in and be good little consumers. Resist comrades!
However, trimming the undergrowth does make the tree look a little taller, IYKWIM.
I remove armpit hair and most of downstairs and ring piece topiary using a Philips one blade thingy or £10 battery clippers but I do have medical reasons for doing so.
Other than that I’d much rather take a pill of some kind to permanently remove all my body hair as it’s utterly pointless and an inconvenience to myself
Use a Braun S9pro on Head/face every day but I have to change the foil cutters (£50) every 6 months as my beard growth is heavy as is my hair growth so they go blunt rather quick but the Braun S9pro is the best electric razor of the 3 I tried out

I shouldn't have quoted you, apologies. It was just an example, I was replying in the same spirit but I appreciate with hindsight that it probably doesn't read that way.
Once I shaved my undercarriage prior to going on a 4 week training exercise on Sennybridge training area. I have no idea what I was thinking but the itching was unbearable and the subsequent rash was enough to get me a round trip to the Brecon med centre, a shower and nappy rash cream. Got absolutely ripped for the rest of that exercise.
That's it.
Shaving Dad.
