Lucky day for me at the little old Lutheran church-ladies second-hand store. Cuz I found a great $2 deal on a used:
Remington HC-8017B Precision 22 Piece Corded Haircut Kit.

Ok, well considering it was second-hand, there was only about 10 pieces of the 22-piece clipper set. But it had a half-dozen clipper guides from #1(1/8") to #6 (3/4") which I needed for Manscaping, Scalp and Beard trimming, was in 'like new' shape with clean, sharp, only-used-a-coupla-times blades. And when I hopped on Amazon to find what the complete set cost - I was surprised to find the Remington set sells new for under $15!

A better surprise: This Remington clipper is GOOD. 1. The adjustment lever STAYS PUT - which unfortunately other hair clippers don't and change length at the worst moments. 2. The hair-cutting guides are VERY well designed, they slide onto the entire blade head and hold VERY securely. 3. The clipper operates at a deep, vibrating rumble, not the clacky whine of some clippers. What it lacks at this price range is an Adjustment Screw - which some clippers desperately need to run quitely and for the blades to be set to oscillate optimally. Still, the Remington purrs perfectly without one.

Overall, a well desgined Manscaper tool - that cuts beautifully - at HALF THE COST of most other comparable clipper sets. AND it comes with a nice storage box with latching lid. One of the best men's grooming deals ever - you read it here first at www.bear-hairy-men.com

P.S. Wanna go UPSCALE in your grooming and Manscaper toolkit? At the high-end there's the Remington HKVAC-2000 Precision Vacuum Haircut Kit with a built-in vacuum to, well, at least minimize some or most of the stray hair clippings while you're doing your dirty work.

Think beyond the hair, Bear. Completely grooming a man proves the devil is in the details - from head to toenails to finger-tips. Make an investment in yourself - or as a gift for an unkempt friend with a leather-bound top quality mens grooming kit.

Look for a mens groomer kit that includes a quality, well designed case. For example, check out some of this great groomer sets and gear by TweezerMan Tools. Ideally buy men's grooming kits that have 10 or more pieces so that you really have a full arsenal for clipping, nipping, trimming combing, shaving, cleaning and filing every last detail. You may want to add select tools to the set such as a very useful Tweezer-Man No-Slip Grip Skin Care Tool



Mens Stainless Steel Pore Cleaner

Treat your Manscaper gear like the tools in any other toolbox a guy would own. Keep the manicure, pedicure and other stainless steel tools clean and dry , oil them occassionally, and put them back in ther place when finished - and they'll serve you well for years to come.

Well the top newspapers and online editions are all over it this month: ANTI-MANSCAPING. Why? Because after several years of yapping about the hip, neo-trendy, metrosexual-esqe pubic, er.. PUBLIC outing of Manscapers hiding in their (trimmed) bushes in the bathroom.. In order to generate a Point/Counter-Point -- and have fresh articles for their Health and Style sections -- the pendulum simply HAD to swing the other way.

So now NON-SCAPING, DE-SCAPING, UN-SCAPING is hitting the news and blogs in Knee-Jerk fashion. The Fur Fashonistas have now declared (imagine that!) Men's Body Hair is hot, it's In-Style, it's Hip, It's the NEW NOW for Winter 2009/2010.

Jesus what's next? Is the Fall fashion lineup 'DARE TO BEAR!' the next thing? Open shirts, plunging necklines, Neo-minimalist Stringer Athletic Tee's the trend to watch for? Uncurling, unfurling waves of chest-hair swaying like fields of wheat in the breeze is on tap for 2010. In the meantime, set that clipper guide back a notch. More is the New Less... well, if you read the internet pablum spewed out daily for public consumption.

Think you're too good for Manscaping? Think you don't need to Manscape? Reluctant to become a Manscaper? WATCH. AND LEARN:

Goatee's are IN like never before. Here's the GOATEE-SAVER - an adjustable goat and trimmer guide that keeps you from screwing up your fuzzle-muzzle uneccessarily! Roller-bars set the width, then clamp it on your snoot, bite down to hold in place - then shave away... Now why didn't I think of that? For years I used to use a COFFEE-MUG clamped over my muzzle with one hand - to outline the shape of my goatee with a T-Finisher with the other. Now the Goatee Shaver lets your jaw do the work, leaving both hands free to do the detailing.

So many things are made these days to be disposable: And that's fine for disposable plastic razors and cartridges, or some of the cheaper rechargable and battery powered mens hair trimmers. They have their place in a mans hair-grooming arsenal. For those of us who've learned the value of buying quality in the first place - and caring for our tools - know the value of buying Pro grade clippers that barbers and salons do. In particular Oster and Wahl trimmers can last a decade or more with proper care - and replacement blades are readily available to get them cutting 'like new' again for a fraction of the cost.

In general these companies have stayed true to their blade designs and manufacturing - without needlessly changing them every year. So it's easy to find replacement hair clipper blades or as important - replacement hair trimmer guides - today - for that trimmer you bought years ago.

FYI: If you own or buy one of Wahls clippers - you may find their Wahl METAL CLIP attachment comb sets to be vastily superior to the standard plastic guides. The spring metal side clips are far more snug to eliminate the guide popping off from excessive pressure or normal wear and tear that cheap plastic combs are prone to.

If you've got it, flaunt it. Because back hair coverage can be so extensive - shaving it ALL can be a daunting task and a big, time consuming project. If that much back hair is that much of an issue, you're the kind of bear hairy guy where it's likely to grow back just as thick and quite rapidly anyways.

There are special back hair razors for Do-It-Yourself kind of guys, such as the MANGROOMER Do-It-Yourself Electric Back Hair Shaver. It requires time, patience, a good full-size mirror, adequate lighting, and a steady hand.

Trimming the pubic hair properly begins with a good brushing or combing. Brush up first - then out towards your shaft to extend the hair fully. Using the edge of a top-quality Oster T-Finisher, or a Wahl T-Trimmercan help to set an edge and curve above the shaft. It's up to you if you feel the need to 'add an inch' and set the hair edge close to the root - or merely want to trim and shape the bush overall. Then, brush up and back towards your navel, exposing the shaft and root to move in for the few stragglers.

Keeping your hoo-ho clean is a daunting task for hairy bottomed men. Even just routine wiping can be problematic in proportion to the furriness of your butt. Again, trimming your crack-fur shorter using a clipper with a guide set close is the right way to START the process - even if you do plan on a totally smooth shaving sequence to follow as a second step.

Short or Long: Sideburns can look REALLY HOT doncha think? With precision tips, straight sharp edges. There's a large selection of beard and mustache trimmers to choose from. Dial adjustable length settings can be a real advantage over swapping multiple clipper guides.

Chest hair's often best left-as is. Unless you're a competitive body-builder and need to shave and trim for competition. But some men, especially as we age - are prone to ridiculously long chest hairs. The kind of hair that gets snagged in shirt collars - on when buttoning buttons. Some men like to groom thier chest hairs - well just slightly shorter - to preserve one of their best assets. For these, a full-size home hair clipper set with plenty of guides from #1 to #8 will give you the control and length you want.

For some men, shaving the scrotum completely isn't needed or desired. Others prefer shaving their scrotum completely smooth with shaving cream and razors. There's something to be said for having a silky smooth nut sac. But nicks, razor burn, the inevitable stubble and itching in the days that follow can be a deterrant. Those new to manscaping may wish to go easy the first time around. With traditional home hair clipper sets - using a short #1 clipper guide will remove the vast majority of the scrotal hair safely - without unecessary prickly or itchy after effects. Work around the scrotum from all directions to insure an even cut.

Perhaps you have so little hair left on your noodle it just doesn't make sense to pay a barber for a haircut. Do-It-Yourselfer Men OUGHT to have a good, basic set of hair-clippers with an assortment of cutting guides to keep things JUST-SO.

New in the hair clipper market to meet rising demand are Mens Scalp Balding Clippers with finer toothed blades set bald head close. Buy up and avoid cheap balding clippers, top quality companies such as Oster precision machine and polish their cutting blades for a comfortable scalping. Too many cheap import clippers are just sloppy in their metal machining and fabrication.

My coach in high-school was a BEAR HAIRY MONSTER. Thick thick fur crawling out his shirt collar, down his legs and arms. Gorilla hairy knuckles. God, I adored him! The kids used to tease him about all his body hair. Others saw it as a signal of an Alpha Male and something to be respected.
