'The slip'
Where women trim their bikini line to make sure no hairs peek out, men do the same with 'the slip'. You simply shave off all the hairs that are visible from your underwear or speedo. This is popular and a real trend for the swimmers among us.
'Lion's Mane'
If this doesn't sound manly, I don't know what does. And even better: this style makes your little man look bigger, an optical illusion that many men gratefully use. The instructions are simple: shave your balls and the base of the wand and leave a large bush of hair on top.
'The trimmer'
You know what they say: if you prune the bushes, the tree looks bigger. This pubic hair style is mainly a trend among men who like to look well-groomed, but don't have much time or desire to shave extensively, and only have a pair of scissors nearby.
It couldn't be easier: you cut all the hair to a short length. Make sure you do this with care, because you want an even length over the entire area. You don't want to have long strands in some places, and be almost bald in other places.
The minimalist
This style is very similar to the Brazilian, except that with this haircut you leave some hair on your balls and at the base of your penis. This not only saves time, but also prevents you from cutting yourself, since the skin on the balls is so thin and bumpy.
The runway
This trend is a favorite with the ladies. Trim your ball hair with The BushBuster 4.0 , and the hair around your whistle short, but create a landing strip from the hair below your belly button to your whistle. Think of it as a landing strip or an arrow that points your bed partner in the right direction.
The Creative

This is the best style for creative people, men who don't take themselves too seriously or men who want to surprise their bed partner.
