Cost effective Ways for Male Hair Removal

by Andrew Stratton

With the increasing sensitivity over fashion and physical appearance, hair removal sessions are no longer limited to women these days. The truth is that many males are more concerned of incurring extreme unwanted hairs in their bodies that they opt to have excessive hairs removed. Fortunately, technological advancement solves the males unwanted hair concerns through laser hair removal.

What exactly is this process and how could this benefit you in the long run? For one, the use of laser for hair removal is actually one of the best and highly recommended painless techniques. It´s true that many males are still hiding their unwanted hairs and opt to have their body waxed. Unknowingly, these males who opt for body wax are not only hurting themselves but they too have less concerns over the amount of money they spend every now and then going to the derma clinic to have unwanted hair removed. You see, you have to repeat the process many times as long as your unwanted hairs grow. Ever thought when your hair would stop growing in the first place?

Should she dare to go bare?

Q Doc, I have just met a wonderful new guy, and I think I love him. To find love at my time of life (44) is wonderful. And sex with him is great.

However, there is one unusual thing about him. He wants me to remove all my pubic hair.

When I asked him why he wanted me to do it, he said, that first of all, it would be ‘more hygienic’, and that second, ‘it would turn him on’.

I do not really mind doing this for him, doc, but is it safe? Are there any health risks?

Also, how do I go about removing my pubic hair? No one has ever asked me to do this before! And I dare not ask any of my friends.

Men - Do You Shave Your Legs?

shaving leg.jpgI found this article quite interesting and showing the change in times.

Now we all know that part of the definition of beauty are those long, tanned legs that we see on supermodels. Just look at whatshername, the girl Tom Brady is dating (the chick he’s dating as of January 28th, not the one he will be by the time this is published.)

Take a minute to think about her legs. They’re obviously oh-so-long and oh-so-tan, but they’re also soft and smooth like the freshly basted skin of a slow-cooking turkey dinner. I mean, I’m guessing. But why is it only women who get to have these beautiful legs?

Leading me to the subject of today’s lesson: leg hair, to shave or not to shave? Now when Romeo asked himself that question back decades ago it was a pretty foolish thing to ask. There simply wasn’t metal to make razors back then. But in today’s modern culture, this debate for certain athletes is not only difficult, but operose (def: kinda like difficult.)

Still on the ropes about shaving? Let me leave you with some data. In a recent Viking study, 100% of women ages 14-18 prefer shaved legs to unshaven legs.* Nuff’ said.

Gentlemen, you know where I stand. So if you relate to me as exhibit B, first stop and take a minute to thank god for blessing you with great genes, then I encourage you to raid your sister’s cabinet and go to work.

(Yeah, and if you already shaved your legs, I was just kidding. Don’t shave ‘em. I will make fun of you.)

Men seeking Beckham effect go wild for Boyzilians - Intimate waxing is gaining popularity among males gay and straight, salons say

It wasn’t the first thing most people noticed when they saw the posters of David Beckham modelling a new range of designer underpants. But once they had finished inspecting the xylophone stomach muscles, cooed at the snug fit of his briefs and imagined themselves as the object of his come-hither look, their eyes were drawn to the footballer’s upper and inner thighs. They looked awfully smooth. Had he … he hadn’t, had he? … done his bikini line?

David Beckham Boyzilian

No one could confirm yesterday whether the former England captain had been operating some kind of “border control” or whether it was airbrushing that kept his pants line neat. But if he had been doing some DIY, for once he is not starting a trend, but following it.

All over the country more and more men (gay and straight alike) are marching into beauty salons and demanding a “Boyzilian“, or as one Yorkshire-based salon bills it, “the Full Monty”. In other words, the complete or near-complete removal of hair in intimate areas using wax. If you have £120 to spare, you can even get it done in Harrods, in the Refinery spa.
