Manscaped Review: Should You Trust It With Your Precious Cargo?

“It’s so nice looking.”

“I love that you keep a clean shop.”

“You always smell so good down there compared to other guys I’ve been with.”

These are a few things you might hear from women if you’re a manscaper.

On the other hand:

“…”

That’s what you’re likely to hear from women if you grow it all out down there like you’re an upside down member of ZZ Top.

Yep, that’s right. Crickets.

Because once they get a glimpse of your wilderness they’ll be running for the hills.

Why Is ‘Manscaping’ Important?

In a recent study, a group of Swiss researchers surveyed 105 women with the goal of figuring out what women look for in the perfect penis.

They were asked to rank eight different traits related to the penis in order of most important to least important.

Depending on how clued up you are on this topic, the results may surprise you.

Length didn’t rank first. And neither did girth. In fact, they didn’t even come close to being the most important, ranking sixth and third respectively.

The number one ranked most important physical penis trait was “general cosmetic appearance”.

And number two?

The state of male pubic hair.

Yes, that’s right. Women care much more about how well maintained things are down there as opposed to how long or wide you are.

This is really good news, gentlemen. Trust me.

Because manscaping is just a touch easier and less painful than penis enlargement injections.

And it’s made even easier with a range of products built specifically for the job by Manscaped.

Keep reading for my detailed review.

I subjected my nether region to the full range of Manscaped’s offerings:

• The Lawn Mower 4.0
• The Plow 2.0
• Refined Eau-de-Toilette
• The Weed Whacker
• Ultra Smooth Package
• The Shears 2.0
• Crop Mops
• Foot Duster

Manscaped Lawn Mower 4.0 Review

What’s the first thing you do to tell the world that something is new and improved? Slap a ‘4.0’ on the end of its name.

Launched in May 2021, the Lawn Mower 4.0 fits so nicely in your hand that it’d be the most cruel punishment in the world if you were forced to mow your actual lawn with it.

Featuring a 7,000 RPM motor (which apparently equals 7,000 cutting strokes per minute), it fits into a charging dock that plugs in via USB cable. You’ll get up to 90 minutes of manscaping pleasure per charge. Both of these stats are similar to the power you get from the Lawn Mower 3.0, but there are some super clever design differences that make the 4.0 the best trimmer on the market.

The previous Manscaped trimmers came with four plastic guards for variable pube length (3, 6, 9, and 12mm). But the 4.0 comes with just two. You can still get all four lengths, though. The 4.0 has a ridge up by the blade, and when you snap the plastic guard on the blade, you have the option to place it in the near or far position.

To simplify: one plastic guard gets you a 3mm or a 6mm cut, and the other gets you a 9mm or a 12mm cut, depending on how close to the blade you depress the plastic guard.

And my favorite feature, the rust-proof and waterproof replaceable ceramic blade module, means you should get more mileage out of it than a sea captain does his pipe.

The Lawn Mower 4.0 also has a travel lock—just press the main button three times quickly and it’ll stay locked until you repeat the three clicks. This helps when you throw the Lawn Mower in your Dopp so it doesn’t accidentally turn on and waste battery.

Finally, the 4.0 is decked out with an LED light, which you can turn on or off. I’ve been using mine with the LED on, just because that’s the standard setting, but I’m not sure how useful it is. I rarely manscape in darkness, but at least I know I can keep a clean cut even if the power goes out.

Manscaped Lawn Mower 3.0 vs Lawn Mower 4.0 – What’s the Difference?

Are you an original Lawn Mower owner wondering what all the kids are talking about with this swanky new contraption? Here’s the scoop on what’s changed:

New design. The handling of the 3.0 was one of its strong points, so I was interested to see how the ergonomic redesign would feel. The trimmer is now longer to make room for the new lightweight rechargeable lithium ion battery, and I agree with their claims that it fits in your hand better (dudes with big hands, rejoice).

Charging Dock. The Lawnmower 3.0 was the first Manscaped trimmer to use a charging dock, and I feel that’s a big upgrade. The charging dock on the 4.0 matches the trimmer better, aesthetically speaking, as both have the same angular vibe to them. The new charging cable is also wrapped with nylon webbing, which is helpful if you have a small dog that gnaws everything you accidentally leave out.

Ceramic Blade Upgrade. The 4.0 ceramic blades are sharper, completely waterproof, and never rust. Oh, and because they don’t conduct heat as fast as stainless steel, you shouldn’t get so much of that warm feeling on your balls while you’re trimming shop.

QuietStroke Technology. I’m sure some of you guys have been there. You’re prepping yourself for a fun night with your partner. You look down, and bam. Hedge city. It’s probably best to give ’em a trim before pulling out your best moves. You’ve got no choice but to run your trimmers. “Bzzzzzz!” she hears through the paper thin bathroom walls. Look, it’s fine, and who really cares right? But the sound strips just a touch of the mystery out of the evening. With new technology dampening the vibrations, you can now keep your maintenance on the down-low.

My Overall Thoughts on the Manscaped Lawn Mower 4.0

Manscaped The Plow 2.0

Manscaped have named their safety razor “The Plow” and after a few uses you’ll understand why.

This thing evaporates the hair on your balls like a street sweeper on the first day of winter.

Housed in a compact case with mirror, The Plow is made from a zinc-alloy. It has a heavy feel to it and a nice matte black appearance, and it comes with three double-edged single blades. You get 10 replacement blades as part of the Replenish Pack, or you can grab them individually (at a slightly higher price).

Manscaped Refined Fragrance

Manscaped doesn’t just help men polish their bowling balls to a perfect shine, but they’ve also started dabbling in fragrance. I picked up their Refined fragrance to see what it was all about. 

So how does it smell?

It’s a nice balance between fresh and woodsy. The top notes have a lot of citrus and floral jasmin—both fantastic and inoffensive scents for an office or day to day setting. Within about 20 minutes or so, the top notes fade into the mid and base notes, which are subtle vetiver and light wood. 

The combination is unique, but crowd pleasing. It’s masculine, but not your basic wood or leather type of scent—there’s a lot more florals and citrus than I expected. 

Refined is an eau-de-toilette, which is different from a typical cologne or eau-de-parfum. 

The biggest difference here is the longevity. As an eau-de-toilette, Refined lasts a good two hours, and it projects a decent amount, but not as much as an eau-de-parfum. 

I actually prefer eau-de-toilettes over stronger alternatives because my wife has a super sensitive nose. I can get away with a medium strength eau-de-cologne if it’s straightforward. But eau-de-parfum makes her nauseous, even if it smells amazing. 

So I rarely wear fragrances even though I enjoy and appreciate them a ton. 

Refined is a really nice fragrance, and it’s a great go-to for a day to day. I probably wouldn’t pick it out for a Saturday night steak dinner date night, because it’s quite light and fresh, but that’s also what makes it more ideally suited to an everyday office fragrance.

Manscaped Weed Whacker

Sometimes when I’m in the middle of a sentence, my girlfriend will reach across and try to pull a nose hair out. Right out of my face. In the middle of me talking.

There might be larger issues, but the one thing I can take action on right away is getting a nose trimmer so that doesn’t happen again.

Manscaped just released the Weed Whacker, a specialty shaver for nose and ear hair.

Manscaped Ultra Smooth Package

The Manscaped Lawn Mower does a good job of knocking down the hedges, but it’s still risky business taking an electric trimmer to your sack. 

I always recommend using a regular razor to polish up your scrote, and Manscaped has delivered a compact three-blade razor for the dark side of your nuts. 

The Ultra Smooth package is basically like a spa day for your meat and two veg. The only thing missing is a hot towel and a single tiny cucumber slice. 

It comes with Crop Exfoliator, which is a gentle exfoliant for your groin, and their Crop Gel, which is shaving cream for your nuggets.

The Ultra Smooth Package also includes five replacement blades for the compact razor. Each of the razors have conditioner strips to make the shaving process smoother, too. 

It’s a pretty extreme kit—I don’t know how you get more niche than groin exfoliant. But Manscaped isn’t about having an average crotch. They’re all about having an extraordinary crotch.

Manscaped Crop Preserver (Ball Deodorant)

Ever thought you’d have ball deodorant and moisturizer as part of your daily routine? Me neither.

But just like it’s a good idea to moisturize your face after shaving, it makes sense to do the same for your boys if you’re shaving them. And look—this is definitely a luxury product. But you really get used to the softness. Oh, and actually smelling pleasant down there.

Crop Preserver is residue and oil-free and made out of anti-chafing and quick-absorbing liquid talcum gel. The only way I can describe the smell is “neutral fresh with a hint of musk”. It’s got a bit of that old-school manly barbershop smell to it. It’s not overpowering.

Oh, and small sample size here I know, but my girlfriend really likes the smell.

Manscaped Crop Reviver

The true shower in a bottle has arrived.

Manscaped Crop Reviver is the spray you kinda wish you had in your back pocket on more than one moment of escalation.

In addition to the pick-me-up, it features aloe and witch hazel extracts for the purpose of reducing post-manscaping inflammation and irritation.

It’s also pH balanced which is important for minimizing skin issues.

It has a similar smell to the Crop Preserver, but perhaps is a little bit more potent due to the spray form. I find it to be quite pleasant and still not at all overpowering.

The Crop Reviver has been working for me so well, I also picked up some of Manscaped’s new Crop Mops, which are basically like those little towelettes the waitress hands you after you eat a plate of ribs…but they’re for your balls.

Both have the same scent and each work for when you need to freshen up in the middle of the day.

It really comes down to application style.

Are you a wipe and walk kind of guy? Or a spray and pray man?

Manscaped The Shears

The aptly named Shears 2.0 is Manscaped’s version of a grooming kit.

And as someone who’s always arguing with my girlfriend as to where she (or more likely, I) left our nail clippers, I was super happy to have my own kit to try out.

Housed in a snug little carry case, you get a pair of safety scissors, nail clippers, tweezers, and a nail refining file—all made from high quality stainless steel.

And the first thing you’ll notice is how heavy each piece is. And it might just be the guy in me but I just love heavy stainless steel things.

They’re finished with matte satin and all of the tools are corrosion resistant.

Manscaped The Shed

If you’re a true manscaper, you’ll understand.

You don’t simply stop trimming the hedges just because you’re on the road. And Manscaped clearly gets this.

The Shed is the brand’s purpose-made travel bag for taking all of your manscaping supplies with you when you’re on the go. Water resistant and built at a compact 9″ x 4″ x 6″, it features a quick-grab handle and inner zipper closure for your loose trimmer parts.

Conclusion: Is Manscaped Worth It?

Manscaped has succeeded in creating a range of high-quality products specifically designed for manscaping.

I like that most products have been designed with the entire catalog in mind and there are plenty of links between them that demonstrate that.

You can’t go too wrong with The Perfect Package 3.0 in terms of value for money and it has absolutely everything you need to manscape properly. I’ve been using Manscaped products since 2017 (back during the Lawnmower 1.0 days…so I’ve seen the brand grow and improve).

While the pricing of individual items may exclude some guys from ever giving their products a go, I can understand their decision to opt for quality.

Because when it comes to your family jewels, surely quality is king?
