Here at Dollar Shave Club, we get asked a lot of questions about grooming and a whole bunch of other things, too, all of which we’re delighted to answer (well, mostly — you know who you are, and you know what you asked). You might have seen...
Let’s get one thing straight: Once a tattoo has fully settled into the skin, it’s exactly the same as non-tattooed skin, meaning shaving is A-okay. That said, shaving tattooed skin during the healing process can damage the tattoo. “You run the risk of slicing the healing tattoo,...
We get asked a lot of shaving questions here at Dollar Shave Club (who’d have thought?), from how to shave with the grain to how to choose the best shave aid for your skin to the tricky business of edging under the nose. Because it’s important, here’s...
Nearly 30 percent of guys are regularly trimming their pubes, according to one of our surveys. In related — and unfortunate — news, the number of pube-grooming injuries increased fivefold from 2002 to 2010, which, well, it sounds like a few of us could still use a lesson...

If you think shaving your own back is impossible, you’re wrong. It’s only mostly impossible. Unless you have a constantly updating 3D map of your back and the fine motor skills of a brain surgeon, it will always, always be easier to have someone else do the...
Some of us are cursed with Sasquatch hands (SFW, but alarming). It’s a real problem, since hands are usually one of the first things people notice about you — something one Reddit user found out the hard way, writing: “A couple of days ago I was driving,...
