Body Groomer, Razor Or Trimmer?
There are several ways to trim or shave your chest hairs. The finest is to purchase a body groomer. This will give you the least amount of skin irritation and you can use this not only for your chest hairs, but also for your armpits, pubic hair and other body parts.
If you use a razor, we recommend using a little shaving cream. Note that using a razor or beard trimmer can cause irritation, especially if you are doing it for the first time.
