#BODY TRIMMER MEN SKIN#
Nguyen uses the shorter guards for trimming around his groin area without one, he says the skin can “get caught in between the little trimming teeth and that’s how you end up cutting yourself in places you really don’t want to cut.” And Miguez uses the longer guards on his chest, which prevent him from “going too short, where suddenly your sharp hairs are sticking out and poking through your T-shirts.” (For those hard-to-reach places, he has a very important tip: “When you’re doing certain wrinkly areas, you have to stretch the skin out” so it’s taut and smooth.) Miguez, who uses the Peanut for his “really crazy” chest hair and around his shoulders, says it is “easy to maneuver and get right up against the shoulder blade and around the neck.” The Peanut comes with four guards that range from 1/8-inch to 1/2-inch. Nguyen uses the Peanut to trim his pubic hair because its small size lets him get to hard-to-reach places with greater control. The palm-size Peanut from Wahl, a brand barbers always seem to tell us about, comes recommended by two of our experts as both a chest- and pubic-hair trimmer. Type of tool: Electric trimmer | Corded | Ergonomic design: Small in size, comes with four guards | Dry use only “It’s important to remember that using a razor will most likely leave razor bumps, so you have to use the same amount of care used for shaving your beard in other areas.”
“Often, when it comes to other areas of the body, men skip this preparation,” he says. And while the items they recommended are a little different to the ones you’d use on your face, stylist Yvey Valcin stresses that no matter where you’re grooming, you should always apply shaving cream just the same. To find out which tools are the best for manscaping any (and every) area of the body, we tested trimmers over time, and spoke to Gilman, Miguez, and eight other grooming experts about the tools they recommend (and use themselves). It doesn’t see the sun or wind, which hardens the skin on the rest of our bodies,” says Friend of a Barber’s Mark Miguez. “Their skin will break out, or they’ll cut themselves.” This is perhaps even more pertinent when it comes to grooming hair below the belt, “because that’s very sensitive skin down there. “Guys who shave their chest with razors - at least when they first begin - always complain about how awful it was,” says Mike Gilman, the founder of the Grooming Lounge Barbershop and Men’s Spa. But what works for your facial hair isn’t always appropriate when it comes to grooming other areas. Manscaping essentially means the grooming (or removing of) hair from any part of a man’s (or male-identifying person’s) body.
