I think the title’s mostly self-explanatory here. My old razor needs a part replaced, but the whole thing is so old and battered that I want to just replace it. (It only charges for a few minutes at a time and then you have to unplug/replug it, etc.) While I’m doing it, I’d like to solve another problem: I haven’t trimmed my manly bits since the first time I tried it, about a year ago. I was borrowing my girlfriend’s girly-bit trimmer at the time, and when we broke up she wanted it back, for obvious reasons. My current razor doesn’t work worth a damn in that region, and I’d like one that does. Since someone else is buying me the razor, I don’t want to ask for a “Pubic Trimmer 5000”. Anyone had a positive experience with a razor that also trims down there, out of the box? ---

My beard trimmer with the adjustable-height guard works just fine for landscaping, but if you’re going to clearcut I can’t help you. ---

I can’t vouch for it, but I would think one of those little rechargeable beard trimmers might do the job. It’s basically just a miniature version of electric clippers, and I think you can pick up a lower end jobbie for around twenty bucks. It is also a multitasker, as you can trim your soulpatch as well. I’ll bet it tickles. ---

My girlfriend has this little ‘spot trimmer’ dealy, primarily designed for removing chin hairs and whatnot on women’s faces. However, we’ve found it works _great_ on body hair in general, and I’ve had good results with using it down south. I can’t remember what its called (and my g/f is a little pissed because its floating aroudn in my room somewhere but I don’t know where it is offhand) but it is very effective- its as if it is erasing the hair off your skin. TMI but who cares, during our vacation my girlfriend was doing manscaping on me, which left a hairless spot on my body, so for the next hour she shaved my entire body. I’m not a particularly hairy guy (no back hair, yay!) but this trimmer thing is TINY- the trimming head is probably only 3/4 of an inch wide. And yet that thing, with one AAA battery, sheared off all my body hair. It certainly made all my clothes/underwear feel more comfortable for a few weeks 🙂 ---

I think the big Norelcos still come with a pop-up trimmer. It’s a little awkward, though. Check out the beard trimmer thread, where a few of us reccommend the Wahl Peanut for all your hairy parts.
