I prefer a gentleman to be trimmed, so the fur is soft. I love the way it feels between my fingers and brushing against my cheek! Natural can seem a little too unruly for my taste. IMO, fully shaved can go either way, depending on if the gentleman hasn't shaved for a couple of days, but is freshly shaved before our time together! On the other hand, if the yummy parts are shaved too often, this can cause stubble and skin irritation. Ouch! My personal favorite for shaving is a shaving cream with aloe vera and a super sharp four blade razor. Leaves the skin baby smooth!
