For the past 2 years servicing hundreds and thousands of Filipino balls, Filipina coochies, or the lack thereof, we’ve taken notes of your experience and your feedback on how the Strigil Safecut Trimmer of Romano Philippines can trim you better. So far, you’ve loved all the features that we’ve had—from the fact that the Strigil Trimmer can be used to trim casually during shower so you could have a private, silent time, to the modular capability of the blades so you can simply swap when you feel like starting new.
But despite the convenience and the comfort of the first version of the Strigil that took good care of you and your bodily hairs from your beard to your butt hair, we received a recurring feedback—that some customers didn’t care enough to read the mangrooming guides as they banked their life on the technology of the safecut trimmer.
Simply put, the situation was this: after reading about the testimonials of our customers in the community about the beauty of the safecut technology, new customers would immediately go for their #AlagangRomano experience without reading any of the mangrooming guides and tips sent in both chats and product package.
For the past 2 years, this has been a recurring feedback which has caused some uncontrollable user errors that led to the misuse of the Romano Strigil Trimmer—misuse that disables the built-in safety mechanism of the trimmer that sometimes causes injuries which were not intended to happen in the first place.
So for the next trimmer—as again developed by our Lead Engineer and Founder, Engr. Erol Guintu—we developed a Strigil trimmer so safe it’s literally impossible to get cut. Introducing, the Strigil 2.0 with IMPROVED Safecut Technology… and more!
NEW AND IMPROVED SafeCut Anti-Nick Feature The new trimmer has specially engineered blades which cut coarse or thick hair without any pulling, tugging, nicks, or cuts, guaranteed!
NEW Built-in LED Lights to make sure you see each corner of your path clearly
NEW Display Dock To make sure your visitors see that you manscape in style wink
NEW USB-C CHARGING For that holistic flagship feel, compatible with fast charging with most of your in-house and carry tech and devices
Snap-in Blades Blade modules are replaceable for optimal performance. We recommend replacing then every 3 month of consistent use for hygienic purposes
Adjustable Guide Combs Comes with 2 detachable trimming combs to give you the same options that you have in the old STRIGIL
Non-slip surface Ergonomic, soft-touch grip for comfortable and safe handling that makes it easy and effective to use in those hard to reach areas
Waterproof 100% waterproof and safe to use in showers for added comfort and convenience. Can also be cleaned using running water.
The new STRIGIL Trimmer 2.0 will be available on store by the first week of July only at our official website at romanoesntls.com. As always, Daddy Romano will accommodate on a first come first serve basis with lifetime warranty offers for #AlagangRomano peeps subscribed to the MANtenance subscription packages.

Then after 3 months, you will be billed P2599 for your MAN-tenance package which includes the following:
• 3 SCABBARD Boxer Briefs • 3 After-Trim Cleansers • 1 STRIGIL Replacement Blade • 1 Ball Deo-Lotion
The package will be billed and delivered after three months, and every three months continuously until you cancel your subscription.

And you will be subscribed to the Performance MAN-tenance package subscription, where 3 SCABBARD Boxer Briefs, 3 After-Trim Cleansers, 1 STRIGIL Replacement Blade, and 1 Ball Deo-Lotion will be sent to your delivery address every 3 months.

]]>Well, toxic masculinity is a set of attitude and ways of behaving stereotypically associates with men that have a negative effect on men, and on society as a whole. It is the wrong and dangerous notion of “manliness” that’s defined by physical dominance and being “alpha” that more often than not perpetuates domination, homophobia, and aggression.
The roots of toxic masculinity is wrongful indoctrination: teaching boys that they can’t express emotion openly, that they have to be tough all the time. In general, it is this cultural upbringing that stunts the individual growth and provides them a skewed worldview of what being a man is—an unfragile, strong, aggressive manlihood that takes everything head on, and that a man who is the opposite is not a true man at all.
According to Journals Sagepub (2020), toxic masculinity coined as a term emerged within the mythopoetic men’s movement of the 1980’s as coined by Sheperd Bliss. It is confirmed by Bliss in 2019 that he coined the term to characterize his father’s militarized, authoritarian masculinity, which is also true of other toxic masculinity experiences.
In short, toxic masculinity is taught and learned. It is not natural nor normal behavior, and it is not productive for a society that aims to progress towards equality and building more safes paces. As it is indoctrinated from one person to another, usually perpetrated by the father to the son, by the son to his friends, by the friends to other colleagues, up until even women themselves are indoctrinated that men are just supposed to “behave this way,” it is undeniable that it is one of the reasons as to why the patriarchal society is formed.
After all, toxic masculinity is not just a behavior, it is a culture that has been passed from one generation to another. The notion that men are supposed to never show emotion, be simple, and simply be “tough” is a dangerous mindset that has been adapted from generation to generation since the great great family trees of the Filipino household.
Therefore, toxic masculinity is a systemic problem that affects all forms of contemporary issues since it’s deeply rooted as a social behavior. When men are indoctrinated in the wrong form of masculinity, the culture itself can harm not just the people and the environment they’re in, but also themselves and the future men that they will raise. The effects of toxic masculinity are then felt in different aspects of society, in every industry, in every workplace.
As multiple mental publications put it, the effects of toxic masculinity are felt in the massive mental health concerns and the tendency of men to rely on substance abuse, because of the lack in social connection and the desire to be a strong, alpha male that doesn’t need help. In fact, although men (like women) experience mental illness, men are more likely than women to underutilize mental health services. As they are more resistant with readily available help and treatments, it’s no surprise that men are far more likely to die by suicide than women. The effects of this of course ripples to other branches of society, immediately from the family, to the workplace, which would continuously propagate unless a man does his work to get free of the toxic masculinity system.
As toxic masculinity is learned, it can also be unlearned. But as they say, old habits die hard, so the #healthymasculinity mission of Romano Philippines wouldn’t be easy. To unlearn, a man has to recognize and see patterns in toxic masculinity; and he must also recognize that it is a problem. Toxic masculinity is literally a mind and cultural shackle that requires mindfulness to break free off.
Healthy masculinity, as Talkspace (2022) puts it, means being honest with oneself about your own feelings, needs, and desires. It also means treating all others with the kindness and respect you deserve, not using your size, strength, or power to get what you want from others—i.e., being a decent human being.
As Rivera and Scholar (2022) adds, to recognize how traditional masculinity is toxic, there needs to be greater understanding of the social norms and gender socialization behind traditional masculinity. Gender-based social norms and gender socialization have had dire consequences on how men behave, act in relationships, and care for their health.
Meaning to say, true reform in society will only happen if the fathers of the next generation unlearn toxic masculinity as a whole, so they can replace toxic masculinity with a healthy version of it when they’re teaching their kids to be true “men.” So the next generation can assume the right roles and fit in a society that provides equal rights, treatment, and representation to all sexual orientations.
The effort to unlearn the toxic masculinity mindset intends to empower not only the female counterpart, nor the LGBTQIA+ and people of color, it also means to empower men as toxic masculinity is harmful not just for society but also for the men themselves. It is only when men have broken free from the indoctrination of their fathers that they can father the next generation better. Otherwise, the same system will perpetrate, and it is our society itself that suffers, both women, men, and children.
After all, we all would want our family to live in a society that we can trust.
The #AlagangRomano mission is more than just mangrooming. Our mission is to install mangrooming habits as a norm in the Philippines, to ultimately defeat toxic masculinity and build safespaces.

]]>But, despite these legalities and the back and forth in revisions, what really is SOGIE? How is the Filipino affected? And since when did the conversation for SOGIE start? Well, Daddy Romano, your flagship Philippine mangrooming partner delivering all your below-the-belt mangrooming kits for your complete #AlagangRomano experience, is here to break it down for you.
Contrary to popular belief, the SOGIE conversation both in social media and the senate didn’t start booming since 2016. The earliest version of the SOGIE equality bill was filed by the late senator Miriam Defensor Santiago last 2000 together with former Akbayan representative Loretta Rosales under the 11th Philippine Congress. However, the bill was only able to reach committee level, despite other key people filing similar bills in the 15th congress.
The SOGIE Bill was continuously brought up in conversation the coming years after multiple incidents of LGBTQIA+ communities facing injustices, some examples of which are the case of the Ang Ladlad (a partylist which aimed to represent the LGBTQIA+ community in the 2010 elections) which was denied rights by the Comelec citing “immorality” as basis. Then the controversial 2014 murder of Trans woman Jennifer Laude by a US Marine on October. Then the 2016 election campaign which a politician remarked same-sex couples as “mas masahol pa sa hayop.”
These circumstances continuously provoked different communities both in the LGBTQIA+ sector, human rights, and other impact-centric advocacy and non-profit movements to bring back the SOGIE conversation and compel the government to pass a bill that prevents injustices on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression. Enter the SOGIE Bill.
SOGIE means Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Expression.
Sexual Orientation describes to whom a person is sexually attracted, that is, some people are attracted to people of a particular gender, and others are attracted to people of more than one gender, and some are not attracted to anyone. These sexual orientation can range from being asexual, bisexual, gay, lesbian, pansexual, questioning, queer, straight, non-binary, and other orientations in the spectrum.
Gender identity and expression on the other hand describes the ways a person identified and/or expressed their gender including but not limited to self-image, appearance, and embodiment of gender roles. It’s mandated that one’s sex is “usually” assigned at birth based on one’s physical biology. Gender, on the other hand, is one’s internal sense of self and identity. Gender expression however, is how one embodies their gender attributes, for example, feminine, masculine, androgynous, etc.
All members of society, both straight, asexual, bisexual, gay, lesbian, pansexual, questioning, queer, non-binary, and other orientations have SOGIE; meaning to say, contrary to popular belief, SOGIE does not limit its protection towards just the LGBTQIA+ community. In fact, the SOGIE Bill protects everyone and anyone to from injustices on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression on all sectors, environments, and settings.
In line with this, the SOGIE bill also strengthens free-speech since it allows anyone and everyone to maximize gender identity and expression. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if you’re straight or queer, you’re protected by the SOGIE bill from injustices.
Though the SOGIE Bill strengthens the expression of one’s self, Dr. Alok Kanojia, co-founder and American psychiatrist of the mental health coaching company Health Gamer GG, gives a quick warning on gender identity and sexuality.
In one of Dr. Alok’s video on their Healthy Gamer GG channel, titled: What To Do If Your Parents Don’t Accept You—created as a response to a member of their community who recently outed from the closet to their parents—Dr. Alok remarks being careful to jumping into SOGIE labels for a number of reasons.
“Especially if you’re trans, you have to be careful to jumping into labels for a number of reasons. Gender equality and even sexuality tend to take time to form. I’ve worked with some trans people who knew from a very young age that their gender identity was not their biological identity and that it was set in stone, they were just born on another body.” Said Dr. Alok Kanojia.
Dr. Alok also adds that there is also danger in jumping into labels in the years where the SOGIE is just starting to form, and not yet solidify.
“The teenage years, adolescence, and young adult hood is a big part of discovering who we are. One of the things that I think happens way too often is we try to jump to labels to capture our experience.” Dr. Alok adds.
To conclude, Dr. Alok cites an example on the danger of assigning labels just because of a shift in SOGIE, citing the instance below.
“For example, someone starts to be sexually attracted to the same gender, they may be terrified that they’re actually homosexual, jump to the conclusion that they’re homosexual, they assign themselves a label because it helps them organize their life some. And then later on, they might discover actually that they’re bisexual or pansexual. So this is something that I think is actually kind of a problem is that, we jump to labels too quickly.”
Meaning to say, though the SOGIE Bill protects anyone who has sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression from injustices on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression, we still have to not quickly jump into the labels that confine that which is meant to be fluid.
Our individual SOGIE is still part of the spectrum, and at any point in our life, a Eureka moment may strike and an epiphany can cause us to develop a liking (either romantic or sexual) towards another human being. With the development of those new feelings, also comes a personal development and growth of your identity. You become awakened by an epiphany that you are capable of love and romance with people in so many new ways, and you live in a society where you are free to act on those feelings—to tell, and express, to the people that you love that you love them.
How beautiful is it that in that moment, even though your SOGIE shifts; and your sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression suddenly changes, you’re still protected by the society you know and love from injustices, no matter what happens? That you’re legally protected by the Constitution to express who you are, love who you care for, and be who you’re meant to be.
So the next time the SOGIE conversation is brought up, you know what to say. And as we say in the #AlagangRomano club, if something’s morally wrong, call your homie out.
The #AlagangRomano mission is more than just mangrooming. Our mission is to install mangrooming habits as a norm in the Philippines, to ultimately defeat toxic masculinity and build safespaces.
Aside from the shaving memes, we long to be an inclusive brand that empowers all Filipinos of all walks of life. Which is why we engineered our products to be designed for the Filipinong bayag, the Filipina coochie, or the lack thereof.

]]>The TLDR of the answer is, it signifies wisdom and intelligence. A flaccid penis is reflected on every sculpture, especially in the context of philosophy, since it signified self-control, restraint, and intelligence—traits which are highly respected in ancient cultures and empires such as the Greek’s and the Roman’s.
Moreover, a flaccid penis was also consonant with the ideals before of male beauty. According to Ancient Greece literature, it was a badge of the highest culture and a paragon of civilization—the thinkers and the genuises then, were regarded as the highest contributors of society. Back then, having a small penis was thought highly of. Not only were you beautiful and smart, but you also were regarded highly in society and placed in a pedestal of power.
Well, it all has to do with cultural values. If small penises were the trend before, the trend now is not about size; rather, performance. Performance is about two things: 1.) hygiene, and 2.) skill. Frankly, you cannot have a good performance with a dirty penis, it has to go both ways. You have to equip the right mangrooming kits and take your below-the-belt hygiene seriously so you can impress and have fun in bed.
Taking care of yourself under isn’t just about pleasing your partner, it’s also about fulfilling your own enjoyment. Rather than worrying about your performance, and spending every moment thinking if the bush can get in the way, you can just focus up, and eat up like a boss. You just have to shave, then dig in. Perform.
What we should learn from the past is not that there is wisdom in small penises, but there is beauty in achieving a higher sense of mindfulness that’s above instinct. Rather than men behaving “primal” and catcalling every single creature seen walking in the street, discipline, and control has to be practiced. As Gentside UK (2022) puts it, a penis at rest and of small size shows that the person can control their emotions, and that he is a man who is civilized.
In these trying times, where the alpha male and sigma male mindset is becoming mistaken for the concept of manlihood, toxic masculinity is on the rise. The ideals of old civilizations that pertain to discipline, wisdom, and control over emotion is gradually fading as mysogynistic systems are built in society. As we celebrated the Women’s History Month last March, it’s but necessary for men to reflect and do something concrete to foster safespaces for your women peers, family, and friends.
Sometimes, it takes bringing back of old ideals and contrasting them against the modern mindset so we can progress and never repeat the systems that discriminated on the basis of sex and gender. For more than just a brand, Romano Philippines —through it’s mangrooming kits, guides, and content—aims to inject the principles of temperance, discipline, and wisdom back to the Filipino society to ultimately defeat toxic masculinity, and foster safespaces.
After all, the Filipino penis—flaccid or not—is one of the smallest penises in the world.
]]>After all, below-the-belt men grooming is just considered maintenance. But what truly prevents those unaesthetic and uncomfortable spots is the undergarment “armor” that you wield to get through your day. May it be through a long, tough, traffic-filled commute in the metro, a productive day at the office, or a hectic day at the factory, your below-the-belt gear has to: 1.) not squeeze the hotdog and twist your ball sacks, 2.) hold the hard-attacks properly, 3.) be “sweat-proof” and anti-bacterial, and 4.) comfortable. After all, it’s feel good, do good, be good, right?
If you’ve existed in this world long enough, you’ve probably experienced the following scenarios with your branded/non-branded undergarments. Your genitals get sheared by the garments by your v-line when you walk (especially if you’re on the plus side), leaving a red, painful mark, that later scars ungracefully. Your balls sweat so hard from a long day of traffic or grinding at work that you literally have dead skin when you get home.
These are the nightmare scenarios that were voiced out to us by the #AlagangRomano club community. So we designed the perfect undergarment for the modern man.
To keep the genitals pristine, fresh, and comfortable, the ideal man undergarment has to have:
and Romano’s next release in our mengrooming line kit has exactly that.
Designed to complete your mengrooming experience, and infuse maintenance with prevention designed theto give you a comfortable and secure look to be the gigachad that you really are, the engineers of Romano Philippines gives you the Romano boxers.

Sports and weightlifting with the homies? We got your balls. A long day at work, and a tough commute that makes the ball sweat? We give your junior room to breathe. You name the scenario, we got you covered.

]]>Not that kind of lubricate yet. That comes after the mangrooming experience! Let’s dive to the product first. Your first step is to oil the white part of the blade of the STRIGIL Trimmer so you can get a smoother trim. Oiling the blades of the trimmer keeps the clipper from pulling as you cut, and it reduces friction while you groom. A drop of oil at the white part of the blade already does the job, and baby oil will do.
If you’re using the product for the first time, make sure to go for a 5-hour charge first to max out the battery life. For your next mangrooming sessions after your first, make sure to prep the product with a 1-hour charge so you can maintenance battery life as well.
Note that: lubricating and recharging the product are non-sequential, and step 2 can come after step 1, but we recommend lubricating first so the oil already flows after your charge.
Before you dive to grooming below-the-belt, you have to prep your body first. Ideally, you wash your body first with soap and clean your area before trimming so minimal dirt is fed to the blades. Most of our #AlagangRomano users even opt to do their grooming sessions during or after their shower (remember that the STRIGIL Trimmer is waterproof!).
This step is the most important part. Read this thoroughly since user error can deactivate the safety mechanism that our engineering team designed to set the mangrooming experience with Romano’s STRIGIL Trimmer apart from other shaving brands.
When you shave, trim parallel to the skin. It’s similar to how you shave with your razors for your beard before. If you shave using the trimmer with an aggressively angled position that you’re almost shaving perpendicularly, you’ll disable the safety mechanism.
Mangrooming is a skill, and like all skills, it has to be practiced. So if you’re not confident with the trimmer yet, feel free to use the shaving guards and start from the thickest cut and work your way towards the 9 mm. If the bush is too thick, feel free to use them first. Once you get the hang of it, you can now use the trimmer without the shaving guards. The closest trim you’ll get is a 1 mm because we built in a 1 mm trimmer guard to the blade as part of the safety mechanism.
Since the skin isn’t also flat, please don’t expect to get a clean shave in one go—unless you’re built differently. Feel free to transverse your area with the right mangrooming angles lengthwise and crosswise to get the clean cut you deserve.
For your best trimming experience, make sure to use the after trim cleanser on your hotdog and ball area and apply, and massage it generously. It works like a soap, so make sure that it foams and wash it off after a good simmer. After you wash, you’d slowly start to feel a cool and relaxing sensation that we guarantee your balls haven’t felt before.
Trust us. If you want to know how the feminine wash feels? This is the closest experience you’d get, and it’s designed precisely to massage, moisturize, and make your balls bloom. Try smelling the difference if you’re flexible enough.
If you got this far, we’re releasing a monthly subscription package that contains our newest men skincare products containing the after trim cleanser and the ball deodorizer, delivered to your door step every month. Reach out to our page and we’ll give the first 5 subscribers a free #AlagangRomano boxers!
For your maintenance, make sure to clean the blade with the provided brush and rid it of the hair follicle residues from your past session. Make sure to store the trimmer in a clean area out of moisture and away from direct sunlight.
You know what this means. Jump to the bed and get on it, daddy!

]]>Christian Bables was onboarded as a brand partner of Romano Philippines last February 9, 2022, on a meeting with Erol Guintu—the CEO and Founder of Romano Essentials—to bring the Alagang Romano experience the mainstream Filipino.
In his onboarding, Christian expressed his resonation with the brand’s mangrooming philosophy, and says that he’s one with the brand’s mission to defeat toxic masculinity in the Filipino society and make the sex ed discussion less taboo.
Christian is known in the mainstream media for his wide range of performances that often tackles SOGIE (sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender) expression.
In an interview with Magandang Buhay last 2019, Christian also revealed that he borrowed his girlfriend’s clothes for his portrayal in a movie.
Christian Bables was recently declared Best Leading Actor in the 5th Hanoi International Film Festival for his performance as “Intoy” in the movie Signal Rock. He was also given the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Gawad Urian Awards for his transwoman character “Barbs” in the movie, Die Beautiful.
Romano Essentials is proud to work with a talented and progressive actor that resonates with the brand’s mission to forward the mangrooming and SOGIE discussion towards creating more safespaces, to ultimately defeat toxic masculinity.
]]>There are a few reasons for sweaty balls. Because the balls are housed in dark and hot environments (underwear and another layer: a pair of pants and shorts), they, more often than not, get sweaty and uncomfortable. Working out also to the struggles. Another issue is the size of your balls, the size of your underwear, and the size of your pants. If your balls are big and your underwear or pants are too tight or ill-fitting, your balls are going to have a serious sweat and heat issue.
When your balls are sweaty, you feel uncomfortable in your clothes; you find the feeling disturbing and distracting. No one, man or woman, wants to deal with sweaty, swampy balls! So what can you do to answer the question of how to avoid sweaty balls?
Manscaping! Male grooming is the art of creating a trim, neat, and clean appearance to your package. Below-the-waist grooming involves the following actions: trimming, cleansing, moisturizing, deodorizing. It may sound like a lot of steps, but trust us - it’s a quick yet utterly satisfying and life-changing experience.
Male grooming can turn your unappealing sweaty balls into soft, trim, and satisfying-to-the-touch balls - balls that anyone would like to touch. Here are the details of the steps, and here’s how to avoid sweaty balls.
The first step in male grooming is a good trim. You should use trimmers that are engineered specifically for a man’s genital area. One that has safety features that will prevent you cutting yourself while trimming. You can’t use an electric trimmer meant for the face on your junk and expect good results. You need an electric trimmer that can reduce the bulk of hair above your penis and on your ball sack. An electric trimmer like STRIGIL Man scaping Trimmer is just the thing. Its powerful motor, compact size, and ergonomic styling makes it perfect for trimming around your package. Plus, you can adjust the length of the hair using adjustable guards.
After you’ve refined with your electric razor designed especially for removing hair from a man’s groin area, it’s time to wash from head to toe. Cleansing your body after trimming the hair in your pubic area is important to get rid of any errant hair that may be stuck to your body.
This step may be foreign to most men. After trimming and washing, what else is there? This may be a logical question, but there’s more to male grooming than just those two steps. You can use any mild powder so it will absorb the sweat that builds up throughout the day.
Use these three steps to make sure you are fresh all day, everyday
You have decided to get a STRIGIL Manscaping Trimmer (which is one of the best investements you've made ever, btw)
OR you are still thinking about getting one (what's stopping you, bro?)
Whatever the case may be, here are tips in using your STRIGIL to ensure a smooth and cut-free shaving experience.
Surely you wouldn't want a half-shaver vay-ugh before hopping out of the shower
Make sure you clean the area with your preferred soap and water so the skin and hairs will be soft and supple before your session. Towel-dry the area afterwards before proceeding
If this is your first time manscaping, chances are your bush will be too thick. It is best that you start with a guard first to trim those unruly hairs before using the bare blade if you want a clean cut.
Trimming with the blade perpendicular to your skin might disable the safety features of the blade. Make sure the blade plate lays parallel to your skin when trimming. Proceed slowly and cautiously,
When trimming down under, Pull loose skin before trimming to avoid cuts (come on bro, you know what I'm talking about). That way, the blade will glide smoothly.
Take it slow! You can practice with blade guards before going bare. Safety first!
]]>So now what? You don't know where to start. Should you use scissors? A razor? Should you wet the area first? A lot of questions are in your mind. Don't sweat it, we got you.
Blades near your package is kind of a sensitive topic *pun intended* thus safety will always be first. Here are some tips so your session will be smooth af *wink wink*
Just like shaping your hair or beard, every manscaping session should begin with a shower. Use a body wash to scrub away any dead skin cells that could cling to hair follicles. It also softens your hair, making it easier to cut, which also means fewer nicks.
After you’ve showered, you need to decide whether you want your body hair trimmed or clean-shaven. In both cases, we recommend you use a trimmer specifically made for your nether regions that is waterproof (so you can trim in-shower) and has safety features so you won't cut the skin. Clean cuts by a manscaping razor reduces the risk of irritation, ingrown hair, and cuts compared to a regular razor.
REMINDER: Please don’t use the same razor that you use for your face on your body, which can spread bacteria between the two areas and can lead to infections. Have a specific razor for your face and body hair.
When it comes to manscaping, make sure to proceed with caution. This is a sensitive area — literally and figuratively!
Under no circumstances do you want dry or just barely wet skin, so it’s probably best to shave your nether regions right after you shower. Do it before hopping out. After showering, use small strokes with your razor to begin removing the hair, always washing the blade every two to three strokes. Use your guide combs first to have a safety barrier between your balls and your blade.
You will develop your own technique that works best for you. If you decide you are going to do a bare shave, make sure to spread your skin apart (c'mon you know what I mean) so your skin won't get caught in the blades of your razor.
After trimming, make sure you apply the right cleanser to rinse off all the hair and to make sure your skin is soft and supple after exposing it to the harshness of manscaping. It's worth it!

]]>You're a modern pinoy, and you would like to up your grooming game by adding proper manscaping to your arsenal. You look it up but you only see foreign articles and products. Is it really only for foreign guys or are we missing out?
Pinoys aren't that keen in shaving or trimming their body and pubic hair. Maybe because it's not the norm, or maybe because it's a taboo topic. Some would ask "why?" and "what for?".
Being in a very hot and humid country, we are prone to sweat excessively in areas we don't want to. Excessive hair traps heat and sweat on your body, making you feel even more hot and sweaty. Repeat cycle.
Excess sweat encourages the development of odor, the unpleasant kind. Manscaping will help with this. It will also help your body regulate heat and prevent the bad odor in your nether regions leaving you feeling extremely confident. Sweating is good, but don’t let that pubic hair lead to excessive sweating. Just trim it and feel much better.
In a country where the average size is on the lower side of the spectrum, you need every inch. As in EVERY inch to maximize whatever God has given you.
Shaving off the pubic hair will make the base of your penis visible which makes it look bigger. When you shave the pubic hair the base of the penis is no longer covered with pubic hair and this is the main reason it makes your junjun look 1 or 2 inches bigger in size. Who doesn’t like that?
With less hair covering your skin your body is better able to regulate body temperature. This means that you won’t need to sweat as much to release heat from your body, making you feel cooler and dryer, especially in the summer. Also, when you look good, you feel good
Manscaping is about putting your best foot forward and presenting the best version of yourself; one who is groomed, sharp and slick, even in your birthday suit. If you look good and feel good, you’ll have more confidence in yourself and be better perceived by others. We Filipinos should incorporate manscaping as a part of our grooming routine. Let's start by being opne-minded when talking about it, since it is for the our benefit. All of us ;)
