yea i've switched to just scissors for a trim up, because i've realized that even though hair isn't great in a girls mouth, neither is stubble. the natural look suits me better anyways...just gotta keep it clean.
I use the Venus and like it (not that you're asking the girls), but I noticed there is a new 4 blade men's razor. I may have to try that. I used to use the Mach 3 before the Venus came out for women.
Venus is good but best bet is to wax! All of my ex's have let me wax them at least once. Funny how big tought guys turn into crying babies when you get the hot wax out!
