Norelco Body groom. As you have already said, never take it all the way down as with a razor. A razor, while making it smooth I agree, will also be a bitch when it grows back. I like the body groom for a couple of reasons. One is you can you one attachment for the bush so you don't go too short and make it just a trim. Two, you can go shorter with a shorter attachment as you go towards the shaft. Three, you can take it down VERY short, but not no hair short, around the base of the shaft and also use this to shave the bottom of your shaft also. This same length can be applied to your nuts. I find also that if I go too short just under the nutsack that the "rubbing" of the coarse newly shaven hair will drive you crazy with itch. Go short a bit but try not to leave "nubs". Irritates.
