What Do You Use to Shave Down There?
“What do you use to shave your member? You’re down there. You’re downstairs area.”
“Manscaped.”
Luke didn’t even hesitate.
And that answer sums up what a lot of guys are thinking but never actually talk about.
Manscaping doesn’t need to be weird or overcomplicated. It’s just part of grooming, the same as brushing your teeth or trimming your nails.
The Tool That Actually Works
When I asked about his routine, Luke said:
“My 2.0 died… it’s 4.0.”
He’s upgraded over time, not because of ads, but because it actually works. Most guys grab whatever’s lying around. Luke’s using the right tool for the job.
That’s the difference.
The Game-Changer Feature
“The flashlight on it... I actually think it’s the best thing since sliced bread. The Manscaped flashlight.”
It sounds funny, but he’s right.
Bad lighting and awkward angles are a recipe for disaster.
The built-in flashlight fixes that. You can actually see what you’re doing, which matters when you’re working in sensitive territory.
Why It Matters
Using the right tool isn’t about hype, it’s about safety.
A face razor or random trimmer isn’t made for sensitive skin.
Different areas mean different tools. Period.
Luke’s setup is simple:
Face: Harry’s razor with shaving cream
Stubble: Electric razor
Downstairs: Manscaped
Different tools for different jobs. Makes sense.
Beyond the Marketing
Luke even laughs about it:
“Power… the power of marketing. Advertising’s funny too.”
He gets it. Marketing works.
But here’s the thing: when you keep upgrading from the 2.0 to the 4.0, that’s not hype. That’s loyalty earned by results.
The Basics of a Grooming Routine
If you’re just getting started, don’t overthink it.
Start small. Go slow. Be careful.
And for the love of everything, use good lighting.
A few simple rules:
Trim before you shave.
Don’t rush.
Clean your tools.
Replace blades regularly.
That’s it. No magic formula, just good habits.
The Bigger Picture
Manscaping shouldn’t be taboo. It’s just another part of staying clean and confident.
Same as:
Trimming nose hair
Washing your face
Using deodorant
Basic hygiene. Basic self-respect.
The Takeaway
Luke said it best:
“The Manscaped flashlight... best thing since sliced bread.”
And honestly, he’s right.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about doing it safely, comfortably, and without making it weird.
Good tools make it easy.
Confidence makes it natural.
That’s what Guyset is all about.
