Shaving

My wife and my daughetr and I were talking the other day about shaving. Its amazing the conversations that you can have when your watching adverts. The ad was for one of those lady razor things and the talk naturally, or so it seemed at the time, turned to the subject of the shaving of ones personal parts. Now women having been doing this for some time and apparetnly men do it too. I knew that porn actors do it (something to do with making their wangs look larger). But nowadays ordinary men are doing it. Why? Well its trendy, its fashionable in certain circles (would that be wife swapping, threesome type circles?}. My daughter reckons it cleaner and my wife reckons that if your pubes have gone grey they will grow back their original colour. She would know! I asked what names men apply to whatever styles they may have trimmed their parts; after all women have brazillins and mohicans etc. We could not decide on anything.

Now I can proudly say that my pubes aren't grey but as a group they resemble Fanghorn Forest.
So, I thought, if its cleaner then why not give it a go? That was my first mistake.
My second mistake was my choice of razor - it is almost impossible to get pubes out of a Gillette Turbo 3.
My third mistake was my choice of pattern - I thought that a small 'afro', crescent shaped,around the base of my best friend would be appropriate. It wasn't.

As I had never contemplated this sort of thing before I had no idea on how it would be achieved. I began by trimming the edges which was tricky but do-able and then shaving off the resultant stubble cutting the crescent shape. That worked very well apart from cleaning the razor which took ages - longer than the shaving by half an hour! When I examined my handiwork I was not the proud owner of an afro I was the proud owner of a Ken Dodd! So out came the scissors for another trim. The result was I have to say quite good. There are however some rather nasty downsides. The first is he temperature drop; when the wind blows you can be literally chilled to the bone. I imagine women enjoy this feeling; I found it disturbing in a way that was extremely vague and difficult to define. Another downside is the quality of undergarments worn must be good to very good because ordinary Asda knickers are unpleasantly rough. A really unpleasant side effect is of course that the hair grows back! Bollock stubble is probably the single most uncomfortable thing you can have!
So is shaving your parts 'a good thing'? For men I would have to say it isn't. Its time consuming, uncomfortable and forces you to pay more attention to the parts of your body that should be left alone.

I understand that you shouldn't be walking around with a scarecrow's chuff in your pants but the hair is growing there for a reason (whatever that is) and should be treated with respect. Take one look at a Frech woman's armpit and you will find luxuriant growth. I expect that her pubes will be platted with ribbons in a stylish presentation as they been since adolescence.

Would I do it again? No. But I might if was invited to one of those parties..
