A question of plumbing....

Tefal · 16 Apr 2018 at 10:15

So a question for all the plumbers on here, when you shave your man parts, or other parts, how do you stop it clogging up the shower drain?

Drain unblocker is expensive and i am not the hairless young man i used to be

option B is do it in the conservatory and let the robot vacuum clean up but i dont have blinds/curtains and my neighbors are a mix of the elderly and children so its either heart attacks or handcuffs if i attempt that plan.

IANAP(lumber) but would something like this work as a preventative measure?

Or this after the effect

Shower, turn off water, shave, wipe up hair from shower tray, bin

Why not do it on the `bus or train and let it become the transport authority's problem, plus you get to share your private habits even beyond OC members?

For my beard, I've got one of those things skirt things they use at the barbers, but for your face.

I guess you could just do the same as your proposing in the conversatory, but in the bathroom?

Surely you're better off not showering first as then the hair won't be stuck to the base of the shower? I've done this before when shaving my chin and doing it into a wet basin is not helpful.

Dry shave with the Dyson in your other hand....

You can get those hair guard filter thingies for your plug. Wifeys hair is always caught up in it, and my man hair too.

showers have those stupid modern trains where theres a removable cosmetic cap, then underneath it's a drain hole but with a permanently fixed dome over the top so theres just a ring around the side for water to go down. presumably to stop dwarfs drowning or giant spiders coming out (Australian drain?).

bath seems to have relatively normal hole but not quite as the plug is lifted/lowered from by the taps mesh thingy may go in there though,. I'll just have to bear the cold and trim in the tub :/

on a side note opinion is split 50/50 on the people who see me naked do i shave my copious belly/chest hair or not?

I prefer to shave after showering to soften the skin a bit

Burn it off.

BDEE · 16 Apr 2018 at 11:48

Just put bleach down the plug hole?

Full body Veet session. Job done.

Did not think men had these problems, your pubes defently should not be blocking the drain hole

Use a blowtorch, no hair to worry about.

Next time you're in the shower just rub a small, and I mean small, about a pea sized blob, of mustard around the bottom part of where you are shaving or where hairs might fall. The hairs will adhere to the mustard out of the way and they won't coagulate, then you simply wash it away. I've been using this great technique for years.

NB. If you've got a lot of hair and find them on your chest or arms while shaving/trimming then just put another few small blobs of mustard on those areas too.

Its a terrible habit, but I tend to shave Mr Johnson over the kitchen bin, saves clogging up the plug and I can do it standing up as the bin is tall. I'll never forget the first time my missus caught me, must have been a sight, walking into the room to see me with the bin lid propped open, pants around my ankles, pale bum staring at her haha.

Mine is sorted over the toilet. No concerns.

Shave with electric trimmer whilst grasping a hoover nozzle between thighs

If you insist on using a razor then do it in sink. If the drain clogs its easier to remove a sink trap..

If they are blocking the drains then you are letting them get too long

And yes, trim the chest / belly hair too.
