Megastar
Soft as a baby’s bottom. That’s apparently the feeling men can now have thanks to a new all- over body shaver.
Great if your boyfriend has a hairy back and shoulders, not so great if he starts to turn into nice but
dim Tim from Big Brother 3.
Remember the plonker ‘secretly’ shaving his chest in a house full of cameras?
Anyhoo, if you’re a hairy lad, then the new Phillips toy could be a life saver; but the journalist in the Independent, isn’t convinced.
“It's another little chess move in the commercial battle to turn men into women led by shopaholic footballers like Rio, Big John and Young Frank. There was a time when England centre halves were renowned for biting your legs and robbing your jewellery. Nowadays they've just become display cabinets for cosmetic and designer outlets,” he moans.
Another downside, adds James Brown, who speaks from a drunken holiday experience, is that once you decide it’s coming off, you see how fat you really are.
It also really itches.
So either you want to follow the footballers trend, or you’re happy with your lot and remember how much your mum used to swoon over Sean Connery and Tom Jones.
Er, pass the clippers.
