But just because you’re choosing to look like a grizzly bear on your face doesn’t mean the rest of your body has to follow the hairy suit – or hirsute as the case may be. Why not try something a little different down there? Why not try grooming complementing your Santa Claus beard with a Saint Tropez smooth beach body?
It’s easy to get the shaven, smooth and bare beach look as well, as Philips has specifically designed a shaver for dealing with hair from the neck downwards called the Bodygroom Pro.
The Philips Bodygroom Pro has a dual-end design with a revolutionary 3D pivoting shaving head on one end and an enhanced trimmer with improved cutting capabilities on the other meaning the Philips Bodygroom Pro trimmer can groom even the hairiest of men.
Use the trimmer first to tackle the thick clumps of hair on your chest and your back (if you’re really brave then go for the works and try grooming the’ sack and crack’ as well) then switch to the pivoting shaving head to get a more precise, tidy grooming finish.
Not only will you feel more body confident, you’ll also feel younger – well from the neck downwards anyway (the wrinkles on your face are up to you).
Still not convinced? According to a recent global survey, more than 50 per cent of men between the ages of 18 and 65 admitted to removing, grooming, or trimming hair below the neck. So know you know that you’re not alone why not indulge in a bit of manscaping yourself?
How to: Go from Grizzly to Bare
Traditionally, December is the time of year when men tend to take their fashion cues from Santa Claus, complementing their all-encompassing winter coats and scarves – or, if you’re lucky enough to live in the Southern Hemisphere, budgie smugglers and smug grins – with grooming styles like a full beard as a natural way of protecting themselves against cold winter winds or if you live in the Southern Hemisphere, just for kicks.
