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?

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.
Does what it says on the tin. No cuts and a goes as short as needed.
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.
This thread reminds me of a review for Veet hair removal some years ago.

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

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....... :-
