  • Trimming

    Hello Folks!

    I just wanted to share my experience with a product that may be useful when it comes to trimming the family Jewels . I think I came across it through an ad on the net somewhere. Anyway, the company is called Manscaped and they sell men's "Below-the-Waist-Grooming" products. I bought a Lawn Mower 2.0 (LOL at the name btw). Its basically a mini automatic shaver that is made to be gentle against skin. I tried it out tonight and holy cow! Makes the job a lot easier and quicker. I'll admit I was a little nervous trying out an automatic shaver like that but turns out I got no scrapes, scratches, marks, etc. Nice and smooth. Used to use a razor before this thing and man, this is way better and easier.

    I think it was like $60 or something.....I ordered mine the week of Cyber Monday so I got a nice deal on it. Looks like they have a 15% off deal for the Holidays.

    Also, if you do order a product with a blade, beware they try to get you to sign up for a monthly subscription that basically allows you to replace your blades every month or 3 months. I wasn't aware that I had accepted the subscription but luckily cancelled that before they billed me for it.

    Hi SB, If like some of us who shave below, I do mine when ever I wet shave my face, takes about 30 seconds, but then I have done for a lot of years and saves $60 but then for me it would be euros, best spent elsewhere.

      What would I do without blood dripping from a nick on my balls every two weeks. Funny, I am a real good clotter in that my scrapes and dings usually clot relatively quick. Cut my sack and it will bleed for hours. Anyway, thanks for the post.

        I've seen the ads but how is it any different from my typical Phillips with the blade guard/comb? Is it really not possible to nick the sack (which I manage to do every other time no matter how careful I am) with this one? The ads always sound a bit too good to be true to me but if you're saying that it really lets you groom away without having to worry, it's worth the $60.

          I have been using a Battery powered Body Groomer by Norelco for a number of years. I believe it cost about $20.

            I mean I've only used it once. So I may not be the most experienced user but I mean I didn't have one scratch, scrape, or nick when I used it. I was careful with it since I was pretty nervous at first lol. But it seriously only took me 5 minutes tops to use it and when I trim, I trim my nuts and everything so it normally takes me a good 15 minutes or so to do it with a razor. Anyway, I can post a second time on this thread once it grows back again and I trim for a 2nd time.

            It advertises that they have an "Anti-Knick Feature" that is on the blade which is supposed to prevent nicks and snags. And so far I think its worth it but thats just me.

              I use tweezers on the family jewels and the hairy skin that rides up the shaft. It's painful the first few treatments, but you are actually damaging the hair follicle this way so it grows back thinner every time. I started out with really thick, coarse hair that was unpleasant to the touch (which is why I started removing them) and now it grows back like soft peach fuzz if I let it go wild, and there's no pain to pluck them again.

              It's long and tedious compared to razors, but nothing beats the feeling of absolutely smooth balls that lasts weeks without the chaffing and stubble that you get from shaving.
