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.

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.

The Norelco one blade is the best and even cheaper. Great beard groomer that does everything
