Von Sander - The Beardmen Today, men are increasingly thinking about their body hair. For some, it makes them feel more masculine, while others prefer to get rid of it. Opinions are especially divided about belly hair. Think about what suits you and how you prefer to see yourself. Do you have a partner? Then ask what he or she finds attractive. But above all: shave your belly hair safely!
Match your belly hair and chest hair
Not sure (yet) what to do with your belly hair? Take a look at the upper part of your torso. Often you have a more definite opinion about the right amount of chest hair. The best results are achieved when your belly and chest hair match. With a hairy chest, you can also leave the hair on your belly. A smooth chest? Then shave your belly hair as well.
Getting started with a razor?
OK, back to the most important point: shave safely. How do you do it? When you don’t want to remove just a little body hair, but want to get rid of everything, you quickly opt for a razor blade. Men use these for their chest, armpits and belly, among others.
The downside of shaving
However, shaving with a razor does have one major drawback: it soon leads to itching, rashes and annoying bumps. The rashes come from shaving itself, the bumps from ingrown hair. With a bit of bad luck, this can be itchy. Especially when you also have sensitive skin.
The body groomer
More and more men are discovering the body groomer, also known as body trimmer. This is a device specially designed to protect your skin while shaving. This is because it features rounded blades that optimally follow the contours of your body. This allows you to trim your body hair, including your belly hair, safely. A body groomer is suitable for the area from your neck to your intimate zone.
The best body groomers in Britain are available on UK online stores as well as your nearby drug store or supermarket.
Tips on using the body groomer
- Shave in the direction of hair growth
When using a body groomer, make sure you start with the large areas of your abdomen. Always shave from the bottom of your chest downwards. This way, you initially work with the direction of hair growth. Still find your belly hair a bit too long after that? Repeat the trimming, but go against the direction of growth. By working carefully, you will be less likely to regret shaving too short..
2. Tighten your skin while shaving
Tightening your skin while using a body groomer will prevent folds from becoming an obstacle. Tightening skin folds not only gives you better results, but reduces the risk of minor wounds.
3. Check if you can use the device in the shower
Most body groomers you use to shave your belly hair, among other things, can be used under the shower. However, do not take this for granted. Only when the manufacturer states on the packaging and/or in the product description that the device is 100% waterproof, you need not fear damage or unsafe situations.
Aftercare
Shaving your belly hair safely also means performing good aftercare. Have you trimmed your belly? Rinse your skin with cold water and do not rub it, but pat it dry. Rubbing encourages irritation. Preferably use a soft towel for the same reason. Finally, take the time to moisturise your skin after shaving your belly hair. Use an unscented product.
