Male grooming

Devrij · 10 Feb 2017 at 22:54

Not sure if this is a bit close to the wire, but my old clippers have died so I thought I'd appeal to the hive mind of GD to see if there's a better way to trim the old bagpipes.

Do those dissolving creams actually work or are they as perilous as the comedy reviews assert? Is there a particular set of trimmers better suited to delicate work?

I've nicked myself a few times so I'm keen to avoid that! All advice appreciated.

I've heard a lot of women opt for the Brazilian.

Dissolving creams generally are pretty harsh you really don't want to be putting them anywhere sensitive. And obviously there are limits to using wax around that area as a male without doing some damage :s

I have a Philips body groomer which is very good.

No nicking. Bagpipes rocking.

I thought the OP was going to tell us a story about being groomed on the internet

Revitol is what you are seeking, Sir.

Not had much luck with the Philips - work great at first but batteries always seem to die after a few months and blunt quickly - had much more joy with Remington.

I've just done mine about 10 minutes ago and I use a Remington nose clipper but it comes with a straight edge clipper.
I've had it for decades and I'll be upset when it dies.
It gets a really close shave without snagging.

You'll have to explain this. I googled and found an anti aging cream, but I don't think it'll get rid of the wrinkles in this case, and I'm not really after that result anyway.

Liking the sound of the Remington nose trimmer as I've reached an age where my nose has started to really sprout some hair. Two birds one stone and all that.

I think I might need something a bit more heavy duty after leaving it this long though.

Saw thread title and thought it was something to do with a parliamentary paedo ring.

I've also used these for decades, you can't cut yourself -

I use hedge trimmers to shave my balls.

Pfft. Let it grow freely

I'm too scared to put anything sharp down there.

Sorry, Revitol hair removal cream.

They make many creams, it would seem.

There is also one called Nad's (I kid you not). I believe it is essentially the same as the Revitol one.

Wasn't mustard the agreed solution to this problem, like back in 2004. I think Penski suggested it.

Veet for men.

Nothing like the smell of singed ball hair in the morning.

Gilette ball fusion proglide.

No issues

I assumed that was the last dying flame of anyone who would care what he did down there.

Damn you, pictorial art! :mad:
