Ever watch Dirty Jobs?
There’s an episode Mike spends mostly inside a dairy, and one of the things he does is run a carousel milker.
In order to keep dirt and shit from sticking to a cow’s udders, the big dairy farms use a blowtorch to very quickly burn all the hair off a cow’s udders.
That got me to thinking.
usually, that’s a bad idea.
This time, I had no idea how bad until I actually tried it.
Manscaping with a Bic is the blue fairy godmother of all bad ideas.
It’s not even the way the hair burns down and seems to want to flame out right at the hair follicle, nor the sharp and unexpected pain it causes, but those things in combination with the smell of burning nut hair, combine to make this something you should just Not Do.

You Neanderthal!!!
erm… Thanks for sharing. :)
At least ya didn’t pour alcohol down there after the burning.
Not alcohol Dick. Gold Bond Powder.
Wrong technique for nut hair!
Use your Bic to light a good fart.
Why would I want to do anything with my nut hair?
Og, you ain’t going all metrosexual on us, are ya?

That came to my attention due to the first pop-up I ever encountered at the car site I frequent.
*sigh*
You’re doing it wrong. It said a blow torch, not a bic lighter.
Try it again and repost.
Bud: My nut hair has begin to be visible at work.
While I’m at home.
You just ain’t right in the head :)
When you say “Blowtorch” I see one with a brass tank, fueled with a quart of gasoline, requiring pressure to be pumped up and the burner preheated. You know the kind, it sounds like an F-22 on full afterburner, not one of those candy-assed toy POS’s using a disposable tank of propane and makes a sound like an anemic cat hissing in futility as the dog muscles in on it’s food dish. Use one of those to de-fur your nutsack and you’ll have my everlasting respect.

O good Lord, will you ever grow a brain? LOL
I’m six, Rdennis. What do you expect?
Would mapp gas work better?
You are an ENGINEER, Og; just where did your thought processes stop in the steps leading up to this?
good grief… i am wondering if you really DID do that. lol. OG! or if, y’know, just did a sample on your forearm or something :o i’m laughing and wincing all at the same time!
In Navy boot camp in Orlando, Florida, back in the fall of 1980, our drill instructors would use butane lighters to singe the beard hair of sailors who didn’t shave closely enough. If you move the flame quickly enough it will burn the hair without burning the skin. I don’t know if the practice was widespread, though.
I snorted coffee halfway down the hallway at work when I read that, trying not to laugh out loud. It was spectacular… and difficult to explain to the cleaning crew…
[…] I don’t dare quote any more of this; you must read the whole thing, preferably while no one else is around to hear your immediate response. And you will have an immediate response. Trust me. […]
You and your ideas. Thanks for the laugh this morning.
Most of us learn by doing.
Some of us learn by others’ doings.
That’s one less lesson I have to learn by doing.
Although I don’t believe the manufacturers recommend it, a depilatory like Nair or Veet might work if you must do away with the nut hair. Just don’t leave it on for longer than the maximum recommended time, or you will know a whole different kind of burning!
