To man groom or not? It's the ฿100,000 question.

For years I have always kept myself neat and trimmed down under the hood. With all the heat, humidity, and sweating in the tropics, it just seems like the sensible way to go. Plus, I am not into sporting a bushy forest to begin with. Also, women generally prefer not getting a mouthful of short and curlies when they are bobbing on the bait and tackle. Call me old fashioned, but it feels like basic courtesy.

The real point though is what is the best technique, and how often, in order to maximize convenience and reduce discomfort? I have always used some sort of trimmer that brings the hair down to about a millimeter or so. Not clean shaven, but I have always found that is good enough. With actual shaving, there is such a higher risk of nicks and cuts, and I do not want any of that drama. One wrong move and you are walking like a cowboy for two days.

What was a real upgrade and a genuine game changer was a couple of years ago when I switched to one of those small sized man grooming trimmers you can buy online. Cheap and cheerful, about ฿1000, built in rechargeable battery, and I probably only need to charge it once every few months. Waterproof more or less, although I usually do it in the shower without the water turned on. Takes about 5 to 10 minutes, and the one I have has a built in LED light so you can actually see what you are doing, which is helpful when you are working in tight quarters.

The great thing about these male grooming trimmers is the ceramic blades. It is almost impossible to cut yourself with one unless you are really clumsy or attempting gymnastics at the same time. Out of all the times I have used it over the last couple of years, I have only nicked myself once. That is a record I am happy to live with.

Once every five or six weeks normally does the trick and keeps everything well maintained and under control.

What about you? Do you go with the au naturel route and let it run wild? Or do you also prefer to keep things neat, tidy and in check?

Laser is the go.. smooth like a new born baby.

Shaved once during a influx of crabs after a one nighter.

Looked in the mirror.

My bad.🙃🙃

100% smooth and done weekly with a normal Mach3 razor. Have to be careful though when doing the wrinkly love spuds.

Looks like a freshly plucked chicken hanging upside down in a butcher's window.

Comfortably feed a family of 6 for a Sunday roast. Probably leftovers as well for a sandwich on Monday.

Surely you mean a chick rather than a full blown chicken. 😅

Photos from multiple angles with captions are much needed.

You gotta up your man game, bro. Do a search on Lazada for "men's body trimmer". Thank me later.

You want a picture of my gentials ?

How did I ever reach old age, having an active, enjoyable social life, and yet never even thought to trim pubic hair?

I wonder what the results would be if we polled the women on their preferences in male attire?

I have no issues with my pubic hair i have never given it a second thought , Pubic hair on women, is there for a reason and is a sign that they have reached or are about to reach sexual maturity,

Those with a unnatural aversion to it should maybe have their hard drives checked

Yeah, I always thought you would get a kick out of that.

I remember once in that lovely place in Bangkok, where this fine lady was starting to service yours truly below the waist. Hardly started, the action stopped and she said "ohh you no taste good". Since that day I regularly wash, groom, shave, talc and perfume every area below. 🤣

Would have thought 2 or 3 showers a day would suffice. Miss the furry beavers of yesteryears..

Ahhhhh the old Sunday incest feed.

Small wonder your family turned vegetarian.

Try not to eat at home.🙃🙃

Should have asked for a second opinion from another muncher.🙃🙃

A well maintained bush right there seems an asset to me, both for look, hygiene and comfort
Not a jungle, but not a desert neither

I'm taking care of the 'Japanese Garden' about every 6 weeks

using a trimmer but with extra caution since accidents happen (even if rarely)

I've been searching for the best devices on the net and was quite amazed/horrified to read how many would recommend the old-fashioned blades for the job.. can't believe it

I'm not a pheasant plucker, but I'd have thought that's a definite option for those squeamish about taking a blade to the rambutans.

Oh yeah, try these a few times fast:

I'm not a fig plucker, or a fig plucker's son.

But I'll pluck figs 'til the fig pluckers come.

Some people slit sheets in order to make bandages:

I'm not a sheet slitter or a sheet slitter's son.

But I'll slit sheets 'til the sheet slitters come.

Gives a new meaning to "words of mouth" I think!
