Be Careful Down Below




Be Careful Down Below

For trims and general clean up, use an electric razor or clippers, since blades can cause ingrown hairs -- or worse -- down below or on your back or chest. (A study found that 83% of genital injuries treated in the ER are from shaving, and 40% of them are in men.) But if you do decide to go with a regular razor, clear away dead skin cells in the shower first with a loofah or fruit-acid scrub, and use plenty of shaving gel to ward off ingrowns and irritation. For the hairless look, consider getting waxed -- it lasts longer than shaving and makes for softer stubble.
