The first time I have heard of trimming the man-pubes was in -- of all things -- one of the Austin Powers films. Dr. Evil IIRC said something about the "wonderfull feeling of a freshly shaven scrotum" or some such.

I did it on a lark a few years ago and have kept it up when time allows. This is not a process to be rushed. No special tools. I approach the problem same as with the face: 5-blade Gilette razor, lots or moisturizing shaving cream, a lot of pulling skin around. Have to say, that things can be amazingly elastic down there. Everything gets shaved: pork AND beans.

The biggest challenge is shaving behind the beans. I refuse to use a mirror and become over-acquainted with myself from that perspective.

Never cut myself, not even a knick. Great feeling for the first few days. I recommend a swim in a pool sans-bathing trunks if it can be managed without the police being called into the situation.

Expect a monster itch withing the week, however. Not an exercise to be practiced if public speaking is a frequent event. If you like the woman on top and she has more folliage than you do, major carpet burns may result.

And, whatever you do, do not apply aftershave unless the fires of Hell appeal to you.

By all means, no aftershave.

Also, while we are discussing fun pain, a reminder....when handling things like jalapenos, please ALWAYS remember to wash your hands before going to drain the lizard. I didn't once, and it took about a minute for the oils to seep into my skin. It felt like Mr. Johnson's head had been dipped into a deep fryer.

Never again. Nope.....never, never, never.

And, whatever you do, do not apply aftershave unless the fires of Hell appeal to you.

Yes to the chest and armpits trim. As for the rest I trim but not heavily, try to keep a natural look to it. Don't like the look of it fully shaved or when it looks trimmed. you know when guys look like they have an hitler moustache down there? bleh!!
