How can I prevent itching and irritation while manscaping?

No one wants to spend a full half-hour manscaping, only to then spend an unattractive week trying not to scratch. If you’d like to avoid this, here’s the best way to manscape:

 

· Always trim before going on to close shave, and don’t skip the post-shave splash of cool water and plenty of soothing moisturiser

· If you’re prone to ingrown hairs and razor burn, shave with the grain, in the direction the hair is growing

· Do not forget to pull loose skin taut (you know the area we’re talking about)

· Finally, if you’re using an electric body grooming tool, nicks and cuts are less common, but any you do get should always be rinsed off and treated quickly.

Can I use my manscaping tools on other areas?

If you have a multipurpose body groomer, it can work on your back, chest, armpits, and it might even be suitable for manscaping – but for cleanliness’ sake, it’s best to use a different set of tools for your upstairs and your downstairs.

Should I wet or dry shave when manscaping?

Your initial all-over trim should be done dry (you need to see what you’re doing). When you’re close-shaving the edges, shaving balm can help everything go smoothly.

Do women prefer a manscaped downstairs?

The default preference seems to be a little trimming and grooming, but with a decent amount of hair left over. But ask your partner – she might surprise you.

Why learn how to manscape your groin?

Manscaping your ‘man garden’ makes it less of a jungle down there. Trim groin hair down to around an inch, and you’ll also notice the appearance of increased size. The brave at heart can spice things up with an all-over shave, but even basic border care goes a long way.
