I trim my beard, but I often ask my stylist (hairdresser, but that's what they call themselves) to take a look at it to get rid of split ends, uneven length etc.
It's important to moisturise your skin under the beard, a lot of shampoos can contribute to the dry skin problem. I just use a normal face moisturiser, does the trick.

I wash my beard with this stuff from Lush https://www.lush.co.uk/products/cleansers/kalamazoo Makes it nice and soft and smells of pineapple :>

I use this beard oil I got from Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beard-Cedar-Lim ... cr_pr_pb_t My beard looks noticeably shinier after using it and more manageable. First time I used it I had people at work commenting on how nice my beard looked :wub:

Got one of those Kent combs off eBay a few weeks ago http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141421853098? ... EBIDX%3AIT

Only been growing it for about two months or so and my 'tashe is getting a bit long so I'm gonna have to trim it with scissors.

I dunno if anyone has issues with deodorant irritation, stains, marks, sliminess and other stuff, I used to use Sanex but switched to Pitrock spray, it lasts absolutely ages (as in the bottle), is truly odorless and never affects my clothes. It doesn't harm my skin at all or cause any irritation. It's a few quid but would never go back to something else. And you can use a perfume without a weird mix of smells of you're into that.

I did the very same thing a few months ago. Was getting irritation from pretty much whatever antiperspirant I used, even those apparently for "sensitive" skin, so tried out Pitrok and was amazed that it actually works, and no irritation at all. I use the stick rather than the spray though.

Got a bunch of stuff from Lush yesterday 8-)

Is it better to get your eyebrows waxed or threaded?

Waxed at the same time as your vagina

Yeah they do quite a few male products. A lot of their stuff is just unisex too.

Might have a look when my Bulldog stuff runs out.

You can basically get free samples of whatever you want in little pots if you ask.

Currently using Givenchy - Pi as my scent. I've had nothing other than compliments. It smells lovely :wub:

Has anyone tried Original Source mint shaving cream... on their short and curlies? :shock:

Ooft, no. I... why would you?!

I tend to just trim down there, rather than shave, anyway. The bald look is a bit odd, IMO.

I like a challenge. 8-)

I clean shave because it's easier than trimming, I assume?

Trimming can be accomplished with an electric trimmer easily. Or just use scissors and a comb to protect from cuts and going too short.

I actually have a nice scar on my groin now from when I went to do some scissor trimming a month or so back and didnt pay any attention and cut a nice chunk off my inner thigh. Thats why you use a comb.

Also, use a combo of trimming and shaving to achieve the perfect man garden.

Are you guys trying to say in elaborate ways that you shave your balls?

I was just going to say Givenchy was the only perfume I ever considered getting, or at a present anyway. I could never pay for that kind of thing.

The closest I get to shaving my manhood is grabbing my pubes and pulling around a bit to take off any lose hairs. Like eyelashes for my cock.

I've always been hesistant about using a trimmer down there, for some reason. I guess I think that if the plastic guard doesn't do it's job you'd be in serious trouble. :shock:

But, yes, scissors and a comb is a great idea; how have I never thought of that. :fp:

That's how I started. I then moved on to scissors, then a body hair trimmer.

It's a slippery slope. Or, at least, it is now. :datass:

My eyes have been forever opened to the wonders of shaving like my dad...

A good double-edged safety razor, Maca Root shaving cream, cream brush (sadly not a badger hair one), an alum block for those, inevitable, knicks and a pack of 10 DE blades for an amazingly cheap 99p a pack :datass:

A few Youtube tutorial videos later and my 3-pass shaves with this thing leaves every other shave I've EVER done in the dust. It's difficult to learn; but the results are worth it.

gooseberry fool, even just switching from shitty shaving gel to a proper shaving cream and a brush makes a massive difference to the quality of the shave (as your skin stays moist for longer, whereas a gel will simply dry your skin out - causing irritation).

It's not a cheap initial layout, but 99p for 10 DE blades (that last me a good 3-4 shaves each), will save me a fortune in the years to come, whilst I keep getting that baby-smooth finish :datass:

I'll never go back and I'll be teaching my son how to shave like this when he grows up. 8-)

I use my iStubble on my balls as well as my face to get a nice trim. I once used a normal electric razor on my balls and they seeped blood everywhere. The odd thing is there didn't seem to be any cuts :dread:
