Manscaping

Page 64 of Snap No. 2

Unless you’re a male model, pruning is optional... Right?

I’ll be honest: clean, lean bodies always make for smooth photos. However, I’m not lean, nor am I getting my naked body photographed very often, so I really don’t want to deal with pruning my entire body. And, let’s be real, shaving my face on a daily basis is enough of a pain.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking to wear a human-wool-sweater-onesie year-round, but I say use a trimmer when needed to control the body dreads. As for the front garden, you don’t want it to look like you just moved in. A nice lawn is every neighbor’s envy, and small shrubs make the tree look bigger! —me

So, let’s review... Pros of pruning: • You look like you care about

your appearance. (This should be a no-brainer.)

• See above.

Cons of pruning: • Who has the time to body wax

weekly? I mean, really. • Scruff on scruff is tough, and painful! Consider the chafing that comes as the hair begins to grow back. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
