i highly recommend this particular trimmer. it’s quiet and effective (click on my name for link)

also – i highly recommend going to rio de janeiro and getting an actual brazilian there. as i did last year. it was so quick that you didn’t really have time to process all the pain you were in. they do it with your unders on, pulling parts out one by one… whew. it was somethin’ else. i was sort of dizzy when it was all done. and it’s super cheap there too. you can either do it on your back, with your legs spread (note: this involves a rubber band- don’t ask) or doggy style, which involves spreading your butt cheeks by hand of course. which is cool, if you’re into that kind of thing. i chose to be on my back. not my usual style if you ask around…

Oh god. I went the pro route once and only once. Let’s just say that the lady doing the waxing misheard me when I said I wanted something left down there and was going full removal on me. I realized too late and she left me with only a lopsided thumb-sized patch of grass. Not only did it hurt like hell, it looked fucking ridiculous.

However, there is something wickedly extravagant about going to a pro… it must be the post-wax tweezing.

I may never fully understand our culture's obsession with body-hair removal. That said, I could still regale you with numerous harrowing tales of de-hairing.

But I won't. I will, however, second Chris's beard trimmer suggestion. Or you can use any old electric hair trimmer if you're feeling brave (just make sure you clean it off before you use it on your head). Some trimmers even come with different attachments, so you can choose the length of your lawn!

Also, the phrase "rolling a Twix bar on my private Benjamin" made me laugh so hard that iced tea came out my nose. Thanks for that.

Too funny. If you want an easy happy medium, try a beard trimmer. My ex had one, and she got me hooked on it – so much easier than trimming, not to mention less risk of injury and a cleaner finish. It’s not quite as easy to shave with it, but if you’re just shaving the edges, a razor works fine. (Honestly I always thought a bald eagle looked… well… bald. And/or prepubescent, which is just gross!)

The only issue with a beard trimmer is that some of them are loud, so if you have roommates, you might want to spend the extra and opt for a quieter model. Or it really will sound like you’re mowing the lawn in your bathroom.

hardwood floors might look good on women, but they’re terrifying on guys. They look like sandworms emerging from the desert. The only thing worse is the pubic Hitler Mustache, where the guy leaves one little wisp above his sgt pepper to shield it from the elements.

I laughed out loud at this. A lot. My office now thinks I'm nuts, so thanks!

But in all seriousness, I was just thinking about this the other day. Like you, I go the slow route, but everytime, I wonder if it might just be worth it to do it all in one swoop...
