Every "Guy Code" fan knows that dudes must shear ourselves, lest we disgust the ladies. Not everywhere, of course--women love the treasure trail just as much as the treasure--but just enough to look kempt.

Problem is, dudes with hairy backs are caught in a vicious cycle. They can't shave their backs without a girl's help, but every girl who sees them shirtless runs away in terror.

Fortunately, Guy Code Blog and Mangroomer are here to help with "The Hairiest Back Contest." We're giving away four Mangroomer Professional Do-It-Yourself Electric Back Hair Shavers (retail price: $49.95) to our fans with the most-unruly back hair.

Read the official rules for specifics, but here are the basics:

1. Between March 15 and March 22, email or tweet us a photo of your own hairy back. (It must be your back. Don't even try to cheat with someone else's picture or Photoshop.)

2. If you email it, you must include your (a) name, (b) mailing address, (c) date of birth and (d) paste the following statement in the body of the email:
By sending this email, I accept and agree to: (1) the Official Rules of the "Enter for a Chance to Win a Back Hair Shaver for the Hairiest Back Contest" [http://guycodeblog.mtv.com/hairiest-back-contest-rules/] and (2) the MTV.com Terms of Use [http://www.mtv.com/sitewide/legal/privacy.jhtml] and Privacy Policy [http://www.mtv.com/sitewide/legal/privacy.jhtml ].

3. If you submit via Twitter, include this in your tweet: [PHOTO] #HairiestBackContest Rules: http://on.mtv.com/YdLL9B

4. We'll select the winners based on (a) humor, (b) originality and (c) hairiness of back. Our lawyers actually wrote that sentence.

All right, Chewbacca, what are you waiting for? Send us those photos!

Mansumer Reports: Schick Hydro 5 Disposable Razor

Posted 3/11/13 2:00 pm EST by in Gear, Mansumer

Hydro 5 Disposables Packaging - High Res

Trying a new razor is always a scary proposition. Guys like predictability, especially when it comes to our morning shaves. An unfamiliar blade can cause maddening irritation...or worse, an expensive E.R. visit.

That's why we're happy to announce that Schick's new Hydro 5 Disposable can help dudes look their best with minimal effort. We rigorously tested 'em in our Mansumer Reports laboratory (read: our bathroom), and here's what we found...

Ease of Use

It earns top marks for its smooth performance, thanks to UltraGuide blades and a hydrating gel reservoir, cutting last night's stubble without cutting the skin underneath. No need for toilet paper bandages.

Handling

It didn't slip once, and the flip trimmer feature got into those hard-to-reach places. (By "hard-to-reach places," we mean the underside of our necks, not the underside of our balls. Testing that region is up to you.)

5 Ways Google Glass Will Up Your Game With The Ladies

Posted 2/20/13 3:00 pm EST by in Gadgets, Gear, Relationships

Everybody's geeking out over Google Glass, basically a computer you wear on your face and command with your voice. You know, like what the Terminator wears. Except instead of killing John Connor, you're gonna kill it with the ladies. These glasses will be a household staple within a year or two, and will make your life awesome. Here's five ways we're sure they'll up your game.

1. The Hidden Wingman

Turn on the camera when you approach a girl. Your friends can see what you see in real time to give you advice, encouragement and legit objections. Plus, you can look her up on Facebook, so you'll know her favorite music, books and movies for conversation starters. (Just remember to turn that camera off if you wind up back at her place.)

2. Fashion Statement

Nerd girls love techie stuff. Sporting these glasses will give you a nerd pass. Show her how the glasses work and let her wear them. She might never give them back to you, but she'll be eternally grateful.

The "Guy Code" gang discusses gettin' fat on tonight's Season Three premiere, which is a lot more fun than gettin' skinny. Nevertheless, Americans spend $5.5 billion per year on home fitness equipment. We've all seen the 3 a.m. infomercials and considered stepping, shaking, jumping, climbing, spinning, punching or nodding our way to a better body.

Perhaps some of these contraptions work, or perhaps they'll just make you scratch your head a bit... but hey, at least you'll burn a few calories in doing so.

Posted 11/27/12 6:00 pm EST by in Gear

We're here to help, especially if you're making a holiday wish list. Because you want a useful carryall, not a fashion item that your girlfriend will want to borrow on date night.
