Philips Bodygroom: Making Ass Shaving Manly
This is not actually a post, rather it is a link to the new marketing website from Philips called Shave Everywhere. Although, this is clearly an attempt to sell their product, it is interesting to note that this is the first major corporation to take complete shaving for men, all areas including genitals, armpits, back and chest. Take a look at Shave Everywhere.

What do you look for in a male professional athlete? Strength? Agility? Rakish good looks? A ripped physique?
Me, I look for shaved armpits. Not because that’s, ahem, my preference but because I’ve become oddly obsessed with the spectacle of pro athletes, particularly basketball players, whose depilation routines increasingly extend south of the neck.
Bald by choice: 10 possible ways to a hairless body
Body hair–whether excessive, patchy or ill-placed (What the helps that growin’ out of your ear, Boyd?)–can be the bane of the male, especially the fit male. It’s not only unsightly–particularly when she mistakes it for a sweater–it also can be a refuge for odor-causing bacteria, and can obscure the ripples of muscle you’ve sweated so hard for in the gym.
I think it’s cool that guys are finally jumping on the neat and clean bandwagon. Any guy that has enough self-confidence to remove armit hair is likely secure in other areas of his life.

I think it’s great that there is an option for full body shaving. I also found some great information at www.thestylishman.com - men seem to be coming up front with their grooming needs!
