Cypress Candle by Fresh

Each time a Fresh candle is lit, a story is told, a memory ignited. Each candle boasts a unique blend of waxes, the clean flame of a lead-free wick and a remarkably level 50-hour burn. Bakelite lid protects the candle and its fragrance. The Cypress Candle evokes Mediterranean gardens and woods filled with vetiver, pine, cypress and wet moss--a beautiful, sheer woodsy scent.

Introducing "The Puff," the latest in pubic hair styling.

In the beginning of 2006, my pubic hair was completely grown in. A historically obsessive bikini-area shaver/waxer, I had suddenly become fascinated by my natural jungle. For example, just how long would it get?

Unfortunately, the next man to come along wasn't equally fascinated. In fact, "fascinated" definitely doesn't describe his reaction at all.

Trying to be open-minded, I purchased one of those nifty little feminine electric razors for the first time. I tentatively shaved and trimmed - just a basic treatment. Nothing particularly brave. Nothing particularly bald.

Weeks later, I'd dumped the guy, but there was that little purple razor on my bathroom sink.

Now, if I had facial hair, I'd be that guy with the uneven beard who eventually has to shave it all off and start over. There's just something about shaving with an electric razor that makes you want to keep going. Next thing you know, there's much more gone than you'd planned.

But fear not! For pubic hair, I still have. I have: The Puff.

Because basically, I like my pubic hair. I find it erogenous, and I like it to be played with and tugged on and all that good stuff.

At the same time, I got a little enthusiastic with the razor. I completely shaved the sides. And I trimmed the length of the top (with scissors). And then I completely shaved... the undercarriage. And what you're left with, my friends, is The Puff.

The benefits of The Puff are that standing up straight, it doesn't look like you've shaved (or waxed) all that extensively. It actually appears and feels quite modest, which I appreciate. It also leaves enough hair to provide the sexual benefits of added friction, hair to play with and, for those that appreciate it, the visual satisfaction.

Bending over a table or going spread eagle, on the other hand, displays all the goods in all their uncovered glory. Additional benefits include: less complaints from the provider division of the oral sex department - personally, I could care less about stray hairs, but apparently not everyone feels the same - and the discovery of some very soft skin. It's also quite comfortable and cool.

Best of all, The Puff is sexy while standing firmly in the pro-pubic hair camp. My camp. Hoo-wa!

Every gay man has a problem with body hair. Which bits do you pluck, which do you shave and which do you Immac? If you’re on the PhD Breakover then you have to consider electrolysis too. The sight of hairy backs in low-cut singlets on the Compton Street catwalk is enough to put a boy off his latte.

Ditto hairy feet in Birkenstocks, pale hairy legs poking out of three-quarter length pants and men who go Commando in sawn-off denims. You are going to want pristine feet for spring’s thong sandal. The easiest solution is an appointment at Charles Worthington’s Percy Street salon Beauty Zone for 30 minutes of electrolysis (£26.50) and a pedicure (£26.50).

If you want to do a home pedicure then wet shave your feet, exfoliate with Philosophy Footnotes pumice scrub (Space NK £11) and massage with Philosophy Soul Owner cream (Space NK £11). If you’re going for a depilatory at home then Nair 3-in-1 gel (Superdrug £6.99) combines depilatory with moisturiser and skin conditioner. Yes, all depilatory creams stink to high heaven but it’s easier than shaving your feet daily. A gel smells better than a cream and Nair takes no more than fifteen minutes to work.

Please don’t be tempted to try depilatories on any other part of the body apart from the back. A very close friend of mine attempted hair removal cream on his balls. I think he’s still sitting on a bucket of ice. By all means wet shave your balls but use a fresh razor and moisturize immediately.
