Although such content has been covered by many, I really think your straightforward and matter-of-fact presentation style is the best. It is free of judgement, is comfortable, and covers the important details clearly. Thank you for that! How I wish such a video was available when I was younger!
Thank you very much! I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching!
I been manscaping since the 80s and now I am 50 im in California and men have always done this in Cal. Less hair means less body smell/odor=better hygiene. Glad to see you broken the seal on this subject to the rest of the world. Taboo really!!!
Thank you!
When the bush is trimmed the tree looks tall. LOL! You are hilarious!
Haha!
John, I agree with male grooming. Too much body hair and pubic hair produces perspiration that causes dirt and bad smell. Your video is very informative and helpful to me. Thank you!
Thanks for watching Reggie!
I have been manscaping for years. Have just started dating a new female, and she loves it!!
She shaves as well. The tree is happy!!
Now we're talking! Thanks Tom!
Excellent video. Been fully landscaped for many years. Just part of basic hygiene these days. Would never even consider lunch at the Y if she not well manicured so it's just common courtesy to return the favor.
Well said Robert!
Great video!! Not enough guys realize the positives of manscaping! Thanks for sharing...
Thank you!
Your awesome John. I use a razor downstairs and yes when the Bush is gone the tree looks bigger. Love it!
Ha! Thanks for watching!
😝👏 My wife really doesn’t care or complain about body hair in my chest but she appreciated my grooming down south. I recently acquired the Brio shaver and it really made a difference. Another great video John, keep ‘em coming!
Thank you very much Charlie!
Great sensitive video. I travel on long haul- 18 hour flights frequently...shaving your armpits- and down under- completely eliminates odour. Simply shave in the shower, small amount of deodorant and you are good to go! Can also recommend Merino wool clothing for odor free travel.
Thanks Barry!
Best informative video I’ve seen on “going there”. I like how you didn’t macho it up and gave clear advice. For me, the shaving products description was an eye opener as I still use the can shaving gel/foamer which isn’t the easiest to see where you are shaving. As always thanks for the help John.
Thanks for watching Andrew!
I find using hair conditioner works great for shaving. I shave every day and don't have any issues with ever being prickly.
Thanks for your comment Jerry! I appreciate it.
It's a fact that the odor that gets on the hair/body is tremendously awful. This is so, whether you live in New York or (especially) in Florida (because of the weather).
When the odor gets trapped onto the waistline of the pants, boxers,
briefs; or onto the shirts, tanks, tees, say bye-bye to these garments. The odor is transferred to the body. Some men don't even notice this. But we (lovers) do!
It's a turn off.
Thank you John, for this video!
Thanks for your comment!
Im 67 and I have been shaving the upper body for over 40 years.I feel cleaner and relaxed because of this habit.PTL
One thing that doesn't come up often, but I feel like it's important: Use conditioner after you trim any body hair. It keeps it from feeling spiky or rough. If you have a lot of hair, that definitely can be an issue. If you're especially furry, using shampoo on your chest or whatever instead of soap also keeps your body hair from feeling like a steel wool pad.
Absolutely brilliant channel concept. I am over 50 and truly appreciate the content.
Another fab video John. Oh ok so ur Italian that’s where that special something comes from! I use a trimmer regularly and a razor occasionally. The bush and tree reference is priceless! 💪🏻😋
Thank you for your frank and honest conversation on manscaping
Hmmm, as a girl I have mixed feelings about guys shaving their chest. There is nothing worse than rubbing or trying to rest your head on a guy's chest, a day or two after he shaves it, it is like sandpaper. I really prefer natural or just trimmed. As for the nether-regions, I agree, trim above, shave below. :)
Katy Bauer hi Katy. Your comments and perspective is really helpful. I hope you’ll continue to contribute.
Hi Katy! Perfect.. 'trim above, shave below.' Thanks for your comment!
Why I take the pain road. I use women's leg wax. It may hurt for a few seconds. But having baby smooth skin is worth it. As I hate that stubble poking my ass.
A trick I learned from my older sisters.
@@MasterChief-sl9ro You're a brave man, for your sake I hope you aren't very hairy. :)
So needed! Thanks for "going there"! I enjoy the "differences" and don't mind hair on a guy--to your point, if you're wondering if it's too out of control, then it probably is! Don't think you addressed the back of the neck, ears, nose, perhaps that was on another video? Great info! I think it helps to communicate with your SO as to what is desirable. Love the tree reference LOL!! Too true!
When the bush is trimmed, the tree looks tall. **ponders**
I can't imagine shaving my groin...but 6 years ago my pubic hair had to be shaved on the left side due to requiring 2 areas of skin cancer surgery. Many cases of skin cancer are appearing in areas that never see excessive amounts of sunlight or outdoors tanning or tanning beds. These cases of skin cancer in the groin area have become much more common due to religiously using tanning beds, and this was determined to be the culprit behind my 2 areas of skin cancer. I've never ever tanned nude while outdoors or in tanning beds, but I'd used tanning beds, especially in wintertime, for nearly 20 years or more. My groin and rear-end are something of a dense forest, so to speak. I've never addressed the rear-end forest situation, but I've scissored some of the extra-long scraggly bizarrely reaching/wandering pubic hair. Some men choose "clean shaven" body grooming but that's definitely not for me.
John, I’m so glad I discovered your channel a couple of months ago. Love your videos, very informative and interesting. And you’re easy on the eyes!
Thanks William!
Thank you, good advices, I do trim my body and those.special areas, makes me feel more confortable!!
Thanks for your comment!
LOL... sensitive subject. Pun intended. Nice talk about how to do this. Thank you for not providing visual aids. One question... when I shave my chest it itches like hell for a week. Anything I can use to tame the itch??? Channel is great. Helping me to up my style game. Wife appreciates too. Kudos John!
Moisturizer moisturizer moisturizer! Keep the moist and that should help. As well, don't cut the hair beneath the surface i.e. smooth chest. The itch general occurs as the hair is pushing through the to layer of skin (the surface).
My husband recommends aftershave,have a towel handy to bite on it stings a lot,then moisturise.
Hi Jeremy! Yes, use after shave or moisturizer. Also, I wash with a loofah. This helps to exfoliate your skin and remove dead surface skin cells. Give that a shot and thanks for watching!
Use a trimmer with a no guard. It gets almost down to the skin and gives a nice grow in.
Thanks John - some good honest advice. For the older gentleman, it's worth remembering that your skin might have lost quite a bit of elasticity so shaving one's torso risks exposing areas of loose skin, for example around the navel. But give it a go and see how it looks!
Thanks for your comment Phil!
Hi John love all your videos they have help me allot from clothing to grooming and organizing I thank you allot
You should wear black more often. 💥🔥💥🔥💥
Thank you!
I agree. I bet he would look great in a black double breasted suit with a red tie and a white dress shirt.
"Manscaping" use to be, back in the 1980's, the thing we of the Gay fraternity did every Friday night before going out - nice to see our straight brothers catching up!
Thanks for watching John!
We're trying John :D
John, thanks for the grooming vid. Also, check out The Lawn Mower 2.0 made by Manscaped 👍
Thanks Mike!
I ve been manscaping since the 90s and now I am in my early 50s and still doing it. Back then there’s no way a man can publicly talk about manscaping but I am glad I may be one of the few who started the revolution even before David Beckham made it a norm......
Ha! You're right! Thanks for your comment!
Wife turned me on to shaving my underarms bear just before deploying to Iraq. I have not looked back. I now use a quarter of the deodorant I used to use. As a black man I have also stopped using razors on my face. They cut too close and the bumps were horrible. An Andis T-Outliner clipper is all I use on this pretty face. LOL Rarely - if ever do I get shave bumps. Moisturizer is critical! Great video - thanks!
Thanks for watching Kevin!
Nice information on a personal subject matter. Ihave wondered about this but it is not something I woukd ever ber comfortable talking about with friends. You never discussed shavingof the armpits. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks David! I use an electric trimmer. I'll talk more about that in 'Part 2'.
Thankyou for the insights sir!
Greetings from The City of Pearls - Hyderabad, Telangana, India!
Thank you!
A couple of years ago, I went the tonk and got the wedding tackle and the botty done.... firstly, ouch....! it was great until it started growing out then was itchy as hell... It was either another torture session or use the blade, the blade won... I found that every two days scrape, new blades and use antiseptic moisturiser keeps it all good downstairs....
Thanks John! Very well said! I never trim my down under😊 ever. Am I? I only trim / shave is my not much beard and moustache cos I don't feel comfortable with the long beard feel itchy that's me. Good to watch you again . God bless you always! Thanks again
Thank you!
Great ideas. I never thought it was possible to use an electric trimmer for so many things.
I am going to by one. Thank you John.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for another great video my Brother. You, Style O.G., alpha m, Kirby Alison and others have changed my life. It all started with You though. As a young 56 year old with a full split-chest short sleeve (including buttocks and around the thigh) tattooed body suit, I can appreciate the importance of man-scaping. I do my whole body with a trimmer (no attachments) and the crotch with a razor. I won't go into some of the contortionist moves that I have to go through to try an get everything...and it's growing back anyway. I would just like to mention that Hair down the drain is not doing any favors to your plumbing or the environment...Trash can Please.
Great point! Thanks for your comment!
Fortunately for me, I like body hair. Saves a lot of time not having to manscape 😉
Touchy subject very well handled there, John. At my age my chest hair has become very wiry and white. I trim it to a number 4. Underarms get number 1 as does my butt. Your advice on the groin area is spot on and exactly what I do below the tree but not above. It is advisable that if you are going to shorten that part that you definitely should use a trimmer, as you recommend. I use a number 4 or 5 and always work up toward the navel or it tends to itch like crazy. Again, well handled topic. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for watching and for your comment!
Well done on a tricky subject. I would add the need to shave back hair. I’m about average hairy and need to shave back hair once per week. The backblade is the best tool for that job.
Yes, the backblade! Thanks for bringing that up Keith. I'll talk about that in "Part 2".
Yes, this was a fun one. GREAT JOB . Bennie
Thanks for watching!
Lol, it kills me that we live in a society where we constantly have to be disclaming the intent of a message! Like always great information John, thanks for creating great content and share it through your channel!
Thank you very much Al! Totally understand, especially here on UA-cam.
You’re quite handsome. I like a guy to take care of himself - manscaped or not :) nothing hotter than 40 over and confident, empathetic, witty, and manly
Pertaining to below-the-belt manscaping...as one woman poster said on an adult forum..."If you want us to spend any more than minimal time down there, shave 'em." Good advice to heed.
I maintain a short beard, and use a razor for cheeks and neck. Chest and back get a trim - unfortunately, there is no good solution for the back if you are trying to do it by yourself, and that includes those massive back razors! If I want to take it down to the skin, what works best for me is depilatory cream - normally, that might mean the back of the neck if I can't get to the barber regularly, but I've also had no issues with it around the genitals (where the results last longer and regrowth is not so prickly).
You're a great speaker John and I love it. I also like your nice white teeth. Since I've just subscribed, do you have videos how to whiten your teeth just like yours which is a must for men over 40? Appreciate your thoughts
Thank you very much! I don’t have anything specific, but it’s a great idea for a future video! Thanks again!
I use coconut oil to shave where I need to see what im doing. Works great and is great for the skin
Nice Matt!
Have you ever or might you consider making a video for those of us who have thinning hair, have bald spots or are totally bald? How to cut it? Maybe what facial hair works best? Thanks!
Noticed after 40 hair was popping out where it didn’t before...tops and inside ears, nose hair, eyebrows and underarm hair also, so keep those area trimmed or plucked...of course keep chest/abdomen hair trimmed down instead of shaving and downstairs and back end trimmed close but not shaved completely...my two or three times a month routine.
Thanks for watching James!
Great tips on this subject! I wanted to have info on it. Thanks
I use a Philips OneBlade for down there. It comes with various attachments for body hair, face shaving, beard trimming. I recommend it. I still use a razor (or electric shaver if I'm lazy) for doing the bits of my face not covered with beard), but it can be used for that too.
Thanks Chris!
I can tell that was uncomfortable to talk about but good info!
Thank you!
Hi John . Another great video. You made a very good point about consulting your partner before doing anything . I got into trouble some time back from my SO for shaving my torso as I wanted to show my Abs off more ( for her eyes only) . It did cause a bit of an upset and eventually we reached a compromise whereby I have a short haired tree style on my torso . Your SO is also best placed to shave your back as well If you get growths like I do .!
Thanks Garth! Appreciate your comment!
Thank you! Very informative and definitely some good tips.
Thank you very much!
Holy shit... glad I have a woman who doesn't mind a hairy beast of a man. Guys actually do all this??? Go out and live a full and complete life!
Yep!
Ah... just think about all the shaving that women do on a regular basis just to appeal to us guys. Plus, all their products tend to cost more money for some weird reason. So us guys have it good.
Nice watching your video...I'm lucky John I'm so hairless I dont use razor etc..with love and regds...
Thanks Robert!
Thanks
The disclaimer. 😂😂
Nice presentation!
Thank you!
Great vlog!
Thank you!
Thanks John.
Thanks for watching Ron!
Hysterical. And very informative, I’ve never shaved my armpits and I’m Italian. Guess I’ll try it. Thanks Again John, and ya. Maybe I’ll ask first. LOL.
Thanks for your comment!
Got an ingrown hair on my shaft. Pain in the ass. Next time in San Francisco I’m going for the wax job.. back, crack and sack.
Brave!
Personal grooming is a must,particularly in the heat and if you work in very hot conditions,that smell lingers and also a little less hair just is slightly cooler.Be wary if you have rough hair on your forearms and torso,as many men are tempted to remove their top in the heat,these hairs protect your skin,however if you trim it down be sure to wear sunscreen for a few days afterwards no matter how dark you are,This comes with experience of a hot summer and trying to remain cool.
Thank you Maria!
Thank you for this intriguing video post. Its certainly true about the odor being affected by the amount of hair. I think I would be interested in the specific video considering the use of electric razors. I have read about lasers for the buttock area. What is your opinion on lasers versus waxing?
I've never had laser work done so I can't really speak to that, but I have had some waxing here and there. I prefer to shave.
@@40OverFashion thank you, I have had laser on my chest and under arms, I'm contemplating having it done in the bathing suit area and seriously considering this in the buttocks region. I know its successful after 2 or 3 treatment's otherwise ir lessons the amount of regrowth permanently.
@@ejm6122 Bathing suit area laser can reduce growth. I went twice.
I've known a very hairy gent with absolutely no body odor, but some men have odor because of the foods they eat and not wearing natural fiber clothing.
You forgot to mention shaving or keeping trimmed the back of your neck in between haircuts.
Razor=face
Trimmer=everything else
IMO
..when the bush is trim the tree looks taller,i love that,le me see haha
..le me see yours hahaha
How about using shampoo when you don't have gel
Great video but I disagree with shaving upward instead of downward as this will cause ingrown hairs.
Thanks for your comment!
Hey John! Hope all is well. I have to agree with you on the odor part. If i go longer than usual in trimming my pits and privates i have to say even the best deodorant or antiperspirants don’t help . Have you ever done a video on deodorants? You look great as always...take care
Thank you! I haven't.
Clean shaven down there …… I would not like a hairy bush on a woman so I think it’s fairly reasonable to say that it can be the same for them vs us.
The only time a man should shave off any hair is if there are area with too much hair or hair in weird places like shoulders. Too many times men with absolutly beautiful chest hair just shave it off. NO no no, chest hair is not a bad thing.
I love watching these videos because it highlights how massively vain people are and how I really don't give a toss what people think about me because I'm secure in masculinity and the way I look
Cool video
Thanks John!
Does shaving down there encourage thicker and more grow back or is waxing a good option( talking Brazilian here) brave man if you do.
It doesn't. Hair will be whatever it wants to be. Shaving doesn't change grow patterns or thickness.
Question mate so on your neck? I keep like a 5 day growth on my face as I cannot clean shave every day where do you trim your neckline too, I have heard just so its neat and some say just above your adam's apple. what your opinion
Hi Dave! Thanks for your comment! I talked about this in my beard video. The area above your adams apple, where your head meets your neck is where I cut the line.
As an asian we aren't hairy so I really don't have anything to shave on my body nor leg, just trim sometimes down under with scissors. 😁🙈
Thanks for your comment Bernard!
@@40OverFashion welcome
I’m another beard guy, can’t stand the look of neck hair, it for me just looks really scruffy , likewise back of neck hair, arghh, neck hair! I shave my neck every day in the shower just with the lubrication of my shampoo ( BTW purple shampoo works for making my grey hair lighter, thank you!) just a quick with the grain is enough but every three days I do a proper shaving regime at the sink with my badger hair brush and proper shaving cream ( I like Proraso, gives a nice Italian barber shop smell) which is with the grain, then lubricate and side grain then a final lubrication and carefully against the grain, hooking the razor to get that extra close finish. Doing this shave then lasts a couple of days before I need to shave again. I use a Merkur traditional razor which is fantastic as I get far less skin rash than I do with a multi blade which is actually really bad for your skin so I highly recommend the old school way, much better for your skin. Thanks for the great tips. I’m lucky as I’m not that hirsute so I don’t do anywhere else and I like having arm hair anyway. Never had much on my legs and thankfully next to nothing on my back or chest.
Thank you very much for your comment!
Is it ok to trim the legs? Or shave
I trim.
BUAHAHAHA 😂😂😂
THAT INTRO ❤️❤️❤️
Haha! Thanks!
I shave the back of my neck along the hairline to keep looking tidy between haircuts.
Thanks for your comment!
An insult of old was to call a man a “neck beard”. It was meant to call a man dumb when his neck was hairy. You are good to shave the neck as many guys do not even think about it.
@@jonathanl2748 I did not know that. Thank you. I just personally have never liked the look of the scraggly hair that grows back at the nape of my neck between haircuts so I shave it.
The next time you think “partner”, say “wife” or “girl”. Men need to hear that or they’re confused that other stuff is acceptable or okay. I won’t put a razor near my mechanicals! I stay trimmed closely with clippers.
Wtf are you on about?
Nope. Doesn't work without a demonstration on how to exactly and precisely do it. I look forward to THAT video.....
Haha!
I clearly have a slightly old fashioned girlfriend. I'm in my mid 20s, she's in her early 20s and I actually stopped manscaping per her preference.
As long as you're both happy, it's a win!
I love hairy guys so I prefer hairy chest and all. You can trim down there but clean shaven, ummm....looks like a big baby so no go for me. Lol. Im asian so hair is precious to me therefore I only trim when it gets too crazy. I wanted to grow a goatee but I can't even grow a moustache. Oh well!
You can do Your own nut shaveing.
how to trim the butt area?
💪🏼
They call them testicles .
Cleaness
Electrolysis, waxing and a couple sessions of Brazilian laser, it's fine guys if you want to, just keep your hands callous free. 😉
Ha! Good point! Thanks for watching!
How in heck do you shave your butt?
It would not mater what I did. I could not get a date even if I had $1000 dollars pined to my shirt.
If you got the balls to do it then go get a Brozilian!
Not that cool...
