A Beginner’s Guide to Manscaping

Gone are the days where unsightly face and body hair was attractive to women (circa the caveman era). Nowadays, women expect their guys to smell good and keep their hair growth to a minimal.

Do you look like this? Pay attention to this article...

But, seriously guys, let me fill you in on a few secrets:

• Back hair is not attractive and it’s a huge deal breaker
• Hairy ears will not entice someone to nibble
• Protruding nose hair is just disgusting.
• An overgrown beard makes you look like Paul Bunyan…and when was the last time he got laid?

So if you’re looking to make yourself more attractive to the opposite sex, I suggest you start with your hair…

What is “manscaping” you ask?  Manscaping is the male equivalent to what us gals do (we wax, we shave, hell we even vajazzle nowadays), but it’s a lot less extreme.  All a guy has to do to manscape is get the right tools. Within no time he’ll be on his way to picking up that chick he’s been looking at behind his thick unibrow for months!

For the Face

If you’re looking for a managed face, the Remington Flex & Pivot Foil Shaver should be your number one choice.  It gives you a quick, close shave and adjusts to your chin and jaw line- meaning no nicks, cuts or uneven beard shaves.

Ear and nose hair is not something you should be keen on sporting.  Unkempt can’t even describe this manscapping blunder, it’s downright unhygienic!  Do yourself (and everyone around you who can’t take their eyes off the protruding ear hair a favor ) and get rid of  it!  The Ace for Men Dual Action Trimmer has two ends- one trims your side burns while the other, cylinder shaped razor, trims your nose and ear hair in seconds!

Do yourself a favor and make your dating life easier by ditching the uni.  If I were to suggest a method for you, it’s waxing- it’ll take all that unwanted hair off in one quick rip.  But for those of the faint of heart, there’s a simple tool I like to call a tweezer and it should not be overlooked.  Another great Ace for Men product, the Dual Action Tweezer gives you a handle on your tweezer with a non-slip grip and two sides– one to pluck groups of hairs and one for single hair plucking fun.

For the Body

Finding the right shave tool for your body can be a little more daunting, luckily COED is here for you.  The Remington BHT 600 Body and Back Groomer will let you look more like Matthew McConaughey and less like Alec Baldwin (we love you Alec, but that blanket has GOT to go!).  We love that it has an extendable handle, so you can get to all the hard-to-reach places yourself (no more asking your girlfriend to shave your back!).

A manscapped self will give you a new surge of confidence.

Free Ballin’ Guide To Shaving It All!

Shaving down there can intimidate most guys.  Think about it, you’re putting a razor blade dangerously close to your balls and one slip can leave you, well, let’s just say it won’t be pretty.  Please don’t fret, if girls can shave themselves to prepubescent splendor then a guy should be able to do just the same (and trust me guys, it’s just as hard to navigate down there for us as it is for you).

Not only is shaving more pleasing to a gal’s eye (I really don’t want to see a bush down there, and I definitely don’t want your hair in my mouth) but it makes you look bigger and it makes sex feel oh so much better.  Think about the skin to skin contact you get from shaved pubic areas- that’s a much better sensation for guys and gals during sex than if you were grinding between 3 inches of wiry scruff.  So if you want to hear some serious moaning while your doing the deed, you’ll listen to me when I give you this amazing advice: Shave it.  Shave it all.

Picking the right shave products are crucial to a close, safe shave.  Here’s a few of the top shave products that you should have been using yesterday to make sure you’re freeballin’ in hairless glory!

The Trimmer

Start your grooming process with a good trimmer.  The Remington Extendable Body and Back Groomer will weed-whack your bush so you have a more manageable, razor-friendly area.  This particular model won’t break your bank and will all but ensure the (relative) safety of your boys (I mean you still have to be a little ginger.)  You can read more about it on the Remington site.

The Razor (I know, it sounds terrifying)

The King of Shaves Azor is affordable (under $10) and will give you a long-lasting close shave.  The pivoting head will allow you to comfortably groom even the hardest to reach places and the four blade design will ensure you get everything off in one stroke- no need to go over the same area twice.

The Lube

Never use plain old water to shave, and please, for the love of God do NOT, under any circumstances shave dry (you’ll thank me for that tip).  Here are my picks for the top five shaving products for dudes.

Every Man Jack Shave Cream: It’s a fragrance-free, sensitive skin formula, so you know that your nether region won’t be irritated.  The hydrating cream uses squalane (pretty much a super moisturizer) to soften and lubricate skin and a light scent leaves your junk smelling delightfully refreshed.

Alba Botanica Aloe Mint Shave Cream: Cooling peppermint gives off a slightly tingling sensation (don’t get too excited) while aloe soothes the sensitive skin down there.  The natural oils soften your hair, making shaving as easy as one-two-three.

Joe Grooming Shave: It’s a thin cream that delivers ultra-moisturizing powers, ensuring your skin is left incredibly soft and smooth post-shave.  The unique aloe-based formula eliminates nicks, cuts and ingrown hairs.

Jack Black Supreme Clean Triple Cushion Shave Lather:  It’s thick, it’s creamy, it’s pretty much everything a man has ever wanted in a shave cream!  The rich lather lifts up hair follicles away from the skin, allowing you your closest shave yet and three protective layers of macadamia nut oil, glycerin and soybean oil offer you a cushion of protection against razor burn and irritation.  If you have any left over you just may have some alone time in the shower- this stuff is that good.

The Real Shaving Company Sensitive Shave Cream: This magical formula comes out of the UK (and guys in the UK always seem to be hair-free).  It’s formulated to moisturize and cushion the skin to protect you from nicks and cuts-your balls stay intact and your hair is gone!

There you go guys, I’ve given you the insight, I’ve given you the product tips, now run off to the shower to debut a new and improved look- I promise your girl will thank you*.
