Male Grooming Dilemma

Xire · 23 May 2014 at 16:09

Alright guys,

I am aware this thread will bring out a fair share of trolls but I thought perhaps someone in GD may have had a similar issue.

I am going to Ibiza in 2 weeks and I am somewhat a hairy guy, but I have ridiculously sensitive skin and If I wax my back/chest I come out in awful rash.

People that are partial to male grooming, what would you best recommend for my trip to Spain? Do I just shave it? and risk it growing back thicker or do I go get a wax and hope I dont get a reaction.

/No homo.

Clipper it, so you don't look like so much a monkey.

man up and be proud of your manliness!

Leave it as it is.

Proceed to beat away the woman that can't get enough of your manliness.

Veet/Nair your back. Embrace the chest hair! (some birds love it) Give it a trim with some clippers (don't slip though! speaking from experience)

Are you in Rochdale by any chance ? Ive heard it is the place to be for grooming ?

Have you tried mustard?

Clipper it I reckon. I've waxed my chest before and I had ingrowing hairs for ages after - doesn't mean that you would get them though. Probably varies from person to person.

Fortunatly don't really have a hairy back but I've got an old istubble I just use to keep it trimmed up never had any issue. (EDIT: Downside though of that route you probably do end up having to do a little more long term maintenance to keep it trim).

Don't wax it!

I usually trim it down to a number 2 to tidy it up a bit.

get a skin transplant

I used clippers on my back and it was fine.

Alternatively, shave a Nike tick into the left side of your chest and pretend your wearing a jumper.

This - the only way to go imo!

clippers or razor

Real men have hair.

Xire · 23 May 2014 at 16:38

Think ill go for the clippers, how does one clipper their own back?

P.s Mustard...?

Use your hairiness to attract a groomerette.
