Is trimming body-hair an acceptable enterprise for the male? Sure, hairy backs are gross, and my old high-school art teacher had fur jostling twixt the buttons of his shirt and crowding over the collar — not sexy. But is the alternative — smooth, oiled bodies free of frolicking follicles — how to say this, a little too feminine?
If you really must go this way, you need a manly named gadget with which to trim. Sadly, the Braun bodycruZer isn’t it. Where I come from, “cruising” has a very different meaning, and simply adding a capital “z” won’t change that. Even the ad is suspect: Check the Web site and see for yourself. Our “hero”, now hair-free, is also testosterone-free. Witness the women around him aggressively growling, taking the male role. Hell, one even turns into peacock to attract him. That’s peacock, not peahen.
From a gadget point of view, the bodycruZer is notable in that it departs from the “razor blade model”, wherein you get the handle almost free and then pay a fortune for the blades. It does this not by eschewing replaceable blades like the usual electric razor (those will cost you around $6 apiece) but by selling blades and charging a fortune for the handle — $70 in this case.
For the excessive hirsute male (or female, we guess) this may be something you’d like — if only as an alternative to the horribly named waxing procedure, the “back, crack and sack”. Available May 5th.
