Norelco Bodygroom: Man-Scaping?
I saw this on Gizmodo and couldn’t resist posting about it. It’s a product for hairy men called the “Bodygroom”. Hmmm… I may be a little on the hairy side, but I don’t know if I’d go all out and invest in one of these bad boys. The most priceless part of the product page on Amazon
Lets just say the “Bodygroom” is Shaft, Beanbag, and Starfish safe. No nicks or any pain…no worries…that does not mean go in there like a maniac…take your time…the two trimmers on the front and back(allow for push or pull stroke) knock down the forest while the foil on top produced nice smooth skin…Like any shaving product redness and skin irritation are inevitable (24 hrs later), however I noticed that the skin irritation was only about one third that of standard Mach 3 shave. The skin irritation was limited to the inner thighs (Shaft, Beanbag, and Starfish showed no signs of irritation)….Here is a word of warning, if you are a hairy man in the posterior / back (buttocks cheeks) region, I would not suggest going bald there…although the bodygroom does yield very smooth results, re-growth maybe a little annoying.
On second thought, maybe I will look into getting one of these. I mean if it’s Shaft, Beanbag, and Starfish safe, then it’s just GOT to be good!
You must be reading my mind, Mojo. I just saw this thing at Target YESTERDAY. I had to stop and read the product information. I’m not a hairy guy at all…but this gadget looks really great.
I’m still trying to figure out the Starfish part, though.
I’m not thinking that Norelco intended this to be used on anybody’s hoo-ha, ho-ho or humdinger. BUYER BEWARE!
Don’t tell me “starfish” is what I think it is.
I’m pro for little trimming here and there, but shaving your whole body… well, that’s just not straight!
“Shaft, Beanbag, and Starfish safe”
Well it’s about time, damnit. I was going to start a petitionto make this happen.
Phoenix: Hmm… Maybe I can get a closer look at target then. And I don’t know if you want me to tell you what starfish means. :)
nicole: I don’t know… Ever since “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” man-scaping is becoming big business.
rockyjay: Yes, it is exactly what you think it is. Yeah, the whole body shave down is not very appealing to me at all.
Tara: You too?!?! Wow, great minds think alike!
starfish? what part is THAT? Inquiring minds want to know!
Dawn: They’re all euphamisms for parts of the male anatomy. Shaft = Wang, Beanbag = Nutsack, and finally Starfish = Bunghole. There I said it… is everyone happy now!?!
BUNGHOLE? Who looked at that and said, ‘Wow, this looks like a starfish!” I’ve seen my share of bungholes (thanks to porn) and I’ve yet to see one that resembles a starfish. But beanbags MUST be trimmed. Mmmmmmmmmm, trimmed beanbags…………………………
I have been enlightened and will sadly never look at actual starfish the same way. At least for awhile. Poor starfish.
april: Oh sure, you remember Limp Bizkit’s “Chocoloate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water” right? Well I’m pretty sure that was talking about assholes and hotdog water.
I tried trimming my beanbag once, and it ended up being pretty traumatic for me. DOn’t think I’ll be getting clippers anywhere near my jubblies again.
Tara: Yeah, the starfish never did anything to be associated with bungholes… it is pretty sad.
Anyone who is serious about (non-intimate) body hair removal knows waxing is the way to go. A disposable safety razor is fine for the more delicate areas (never take an electric clipper to your beanbag). Keeping the starfish hair-free keeps your boxer-briefs skidmark free.
Robguy: Wow… I know it’s the most efficient and long lasting, but I know how painful it is just to pull a couple of hairs out of my chest. I can’t imagine having every one of the yanked out one patch at a time.
And a bald starfish means no skid marks? Hmmm… now there’s something to consider.
That is funny as all hell. Shaft, beanbag and starfish safe. Haha!
Riss: I thought that was funny as hell too. I think Norelco should trademark that saying and start selling their products with that motto.
I highly recommend going totally bald in all three key areas mentioned at least once. It’s a very… clean feeling.
Oh yeah - and it makes the big fella look even bigger when it’s not surrounded by a patch of hair.
JJ: Wow… ALL three areas? Hmm… I’m always wary of getting anything sharp close to my bean bag, but I think maybe I’d like it.
[...] Talking about the prospect of buying a new body-sculpting shaver, he says, “if it’s Shaft, Beanbag, and Starfish safe, then it’s just GOT to be good!” [...]
They are only refering to one part of the starfish…and it’s not just those parts. I’m getting one for rogue arm hairs alone.
i’ve got an even better word than starfish…balloon knot!
well, speaking as someone who bought it and used it, gotta say its an awesome product. Yes its actually INTENDED for those areas which you all are so scared to think about.. meaning you have no fear taking it to your nether regions. In fact they advertise it that way. It is a very refreshing feeling as one said above to be clean down there.. and yes, the whole “make your thing look bigger” is absolutely true.
and for those of you opposed to the full body shavedown - nobody said you had to shave your whole body. It comes with trimming combs so you can also use it to keep things in order. After all, nobody wants a bigfoot.
triedit: Well, you made a believer out of me. I think I’m actually going to have to spring for one of these.
You really ought to do yourselves a favor and check out Norelco’s website for this product. Downright one of the funniest things I’ve seen from a corporation in a long time.
FragOut!: I’m still considering getting one. So I might just mozy on over to their site.
Can u use cream like Nair down there…I trying to help my bf out with this….I’m not sure if we could use the creams on it???????
Lady Fefe: I would stay away from Nair on the “starfish” and “bean bag” area… unless the Nair says it’s specially made for sensitive areas.
Here’s a horror story. I actually Nair’ed my back hair one time and left that shit on for about 15 minutes. WAY too long. I ended up getting chemical burns at the base of my back. It was just too nasty. If he can keep it on for no longer than 3-4 minutes, then MAYBE…
Thanks mojo…I use the nair on my hoo hoo and wat I do is apply vaseline to the “sensitive” skin area where no hair grows (the raw or internal area on a woman) and then apply the nair to the areas with hair. This successfully removes the hair without the burn. U can also use that method for the starfish area. But to address ur horror story…yea 15 mins is waaaay too long. One thing I was surprised to see is that no one mentioned that after a hot shower the hair become softer. So have a 10 min hot shower, dry off, THEN apply the nair. To be on the safe side check the area every 2-3 mins. Wipe a small area to see if the hair comes off easily.
Kay, thanks…I just wanna make sure he doesnt get hurt and the last time i checked i had no nuts so im sure how to take care of ‘em. Good lookin out!
i just used one of these. and it works very well. no nicks or pain. i feel different. i recommend any men to get this.
Just bought one a couple of weeks ago just in time for the hot weather. I tell you what it beats shaving. No worries about bumps or, cuts and that’s coming from a black man. And the most of all my girl loves the smooth look on me now. No more Caveman look from this brotha
There’s nothing like tonguing shaved starfish. I have one of these Norelco’s and it is great. Amazon.com has the best price and free shipping.
It took a long time until I went hairless around my shaft and jewels. I have a few buddies that were so chicken to do what I did that I offered to do it for them. Yeh, everyone is thinking gay, not so. These guys are jocks and even jocks come around eventually. If I could do this for more guys I would. They pay me well but they won’t do it themselves. I shave myself clean down below and it is alot cleaner down there and cooler. Being hairless down below excites the women. Men, you will look alot more manly if you get rid of all that hair below.
