I honestly regret buying my gaming laptop. I barely use it since I don't have space in my room, so I need to attach it to the TV, every time I need to use, move my series X and unplug it... And I need a wired controller. Then, there's always a pesky update, drivers, stuff... When I'm playing on my X I don't have to worry about any of that, is more of a hassle to use (the laptop).

Ngl I basically bought it because I wanted to play Spiderman and other not available games on Xbox but even like that the regret is there.

I also regret buying a suped-up laptop, big waste of money! But the latest regret is probably the Manscaped Lawn Mower 5.0 electric clippers. For your balls. Idk maybe I'll have to read/work with it more, but it doesn't seem to cut the hair so much as it tugs & pulls the hair. Which is every bit as delightful as it sounds.

Honorary mention, the Fugoo Tough XL Speaker....amazing, booming sound quality in a small package. Expensive. Then that battery life eventually drops like a stone & it's not good for much.

Eyyy, I got burned by the Manscaped shit too. Grab yourself a Philips Norelco, mine was about $70 and it works great.

Do men really shave their balls that often? I did that shit like 3 times in my life so far, I don't think I'm that hairy down there.

And I'm far from being a teenager.

I fully shave my sack with a razor probably once a week. I’ll trim the tuft on top maybe once every 6 weeks.

Rate of growth can vary. Preferred length can vary.

Amongst several other reasons, I get hot very easily, every little bit helps. Evaporative cooling (ie, sweating) doesn't seem to work well if there's a jungle containing the humidity. Full body, it grows back fast. And long enough to tangle and snag. Painfully.

What do you do about chafing? I prefer having the hair as a cushion even if it does get humid down there

Hasn't been an issue for me, weirdly. Which is weird as my skin is dry AF and I'm fat.
