Ever been accused of wearing a sweater to the beach?
Got more hair on your back than you do on your head?
Cant see the tree for the forest in your pants?
Thus comes the staring into the mirror and the great conundrum of balancing out the acceptance of what God gave you and the extreme “manscaping” going on in more “beachy” areas of our great nation. Where do you stand? Smooth or sasquach?
Ultimately, just like shaving our faces, men have limitless possibilities with incremental hair removal. Luckily, we also have many possibilities in which we can accomplish these trim-or-not-to-trim options. For instance, the personal groomers section of Shavers.com has many such products that will ultimately accomplish the same thing, but matters of personal taste and comfort definitely jump to the front of the line here. Lets explore a few options.
Surprisingly, Norelco has had such a machine out for years now, with the BG2020 Men’s Body Groomer Trimmer/Shaver and it has enjoyed great popularity and steady sales for men (and women) doing a little body, leg, lawn mowing. We’ve also found this unit good for head shaving. It’s also easy to hold and has a good design in the shaving head configuration.
Braun has thrown itself into the body-shaving arena by coming up with the BodyCruzer Men’s Body Groomer that looks to this webmaster that while it may work well, it looks a little “dangerous” for trimming/grooming/thatching “certain areas” of the male body. (Hey, what do you want from me? This is a family blog.) However the trimmer on the other business end of this unit certainly looks like it’ll do the job on the rest of the body.
Remington has a body groomer that seems to be more geared toward shaving ones back called, appropriately enough, the Remington BHT600 Body and Back Groomer. While the doohickies on this thing allow it to supposedly extend to the point where you could shave your back, I for one cannot see how you could know that you managed to cut every hair without seeing behind you. I guess you could do the double-mirror thing, but seems a little iffy regardless. What’s nice about this unit thought is that it comes with lots of different heads for getting the job done.
Our recommendation? Now you know better than that. Those of you who read this blog know perfectly well that we always say that not every shaver is for every man, and any of these units did pass the strength tests for trimming body hair down–a whole different ball game than facial shaving and beard trimming–so at least the choice is only amongst 3 instead of 30.
As far as should you or shouldn’t you? Well, if you ask me…let HER decide. Just whatever you do, clean the hair up off the floor when you’re done. She will not appreciate the unexpected fluffy bath mat that you create.
