Body Hair Removal: What To Fix, What To Keep

Philips Norelco Bodygroom ShaverThe Hair: Pubic hair

The Rules
The same idea that’s true for women is true for you: hair should not be poking out from the top or leg holes of your tighty-whities. (And you probably should not be wearing tighty-whities, but that’s another article.) So buzz the hair down to less than 1/2-inch long. “Use your briefs as a guide,” Barshop suggests. (Bonus: trimming the shrubs makes the tree look larger.) Avoid complete deforestation. The last thing you want is itchy, irritated skin in a place you where scratching is frowned upon.
