I believe it needs to be one or the other - shave completely and often or don't shave at all. It is not appealing to go down on a three or four day stubble. Landing strips are ok, but the surrounding territory needs to be completely smooth.
Mine was always shaved for years but someone on the forum talked me into growing the strip, the prickly stubble is starting to poke thru the front of my underware! And it is itchy!
I'm currently in the latter stage of my annual 6 weeks ritual growth & am looking forward to feeling that cool, sensational smoothness once again. Roll on Thursday week.
Snatch? Who in the hell calls it a snatch these days? I keep mine waxed, front and back. I hate pubic hair (on women).
