Let’s face it. The internet ruins everything. Nobody used to care about any hair that was anywhere below the collar. When the sexual revolution began, having a — ahem — full bush was akin to having an abundant crop of organically grown vegetables. By the 2000s, with a computer firmly planted in everyone’s hand, there was easy access to naked bodies of all sorts, and our standards of male beauty began to change. Being perfectly trimmed down there became almost as important as a good haircut, whether you frequented nude beaches or never ventured anywhere naked beyond the shower.

The tough part is that, well, these are not toughened parts we’re dealing with, so managing pubic hair in a painless way can be quite a challenge. Luckily, modern technology has stepped up to the pate — er, plate — offering some updates on classic hair trimmers that can help you safely and effectively keep your business neat and tidy. While Black Friday is behind us, these companies are still offering awesome sales on their electronic gizmos.

Meridian Grooming The Classic To-Go Package

As Meridian Grooming puts it, sometimes men just avoid keeping things below the belt in check because they either don’t know how to (pardon the expression) handle it; or because there’s some sort of cultural taboo about paying attention to the nether regions. Meridien’s waterproof trimmer handles coarse and curly hair without tugs and pulls, featuring a rust-resistant, hygienic, replaceable ceramic blade module. It’s all specially designed to prevent nicks and snags. Meridien just doesn’t leave you hanging, either: The company also offers products like The Spray, a pH-balanced product to neutralize odor and skin irritation; and as well as complete “packages for your package” in collaboration with Lumin skincare. Grab one of the brand’s packages like this one, which features The Trimmer, The Spray, and The Brief (Eco-friendly odor-resistant underwear with a no-roll waistband as well as sweat-wicking, anti-chafing, and enhanced breathability properties), all in a great travel bag.

A common misconception in the grooming world is that hair oil is exclusively for guys with medium to long hair lengths. The truth is that these products do wonders for all hair types. Hair oil quickly fixes dry and damaged hair, nourishes the follicles and scalp, and can revive your luscious locks, no matter how thick or thin.

The best hair oils are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids that nourish, hydrate, and protect and can even prevent graying or hair loss. And there is always time to incorporate it into your routine. While many other factors play a role here, specific natural oils, like almond oil, are known to aid in regrowth. We're about to share our picks for the best men's hair oils.
