Let me tell you about my American dream. Imagine if you will, every shit you take is a one whiper. Horrid diarrhea, one whiper, constipated shit tail that barely drops, one whiper, even your average everyday shit, a one whiper! Now imagine a welcome to your porcelain throne, a lid raising to greet you, a relaxing night nightlight, a preheated seat and even a pre-cleaning spray to ensure your shit doesn't stick to the bowl... No more imagining, this is no longer a dream, this is in fact a top of the line Toto bidet brought to you by our friends from Japan. It's time to invest, you deserve to have your hole automatically cleaned by a gentle heated oscillating spray and then dried with a nice warm blow. Leaving only one whipe for you to finish the drying process and to see for yourself, the magesty of a clean post whipe 3 sheets of toilet paper.
I have two bidets, a Toto and a Brondell. Without the drying feature you would be correct on the the multiple whipes. However, in my experience after the drying function I only need one whipe. That whipe usually consists of three sheets. I also don't have a very hairy ass, so that could also be a contributing factor to having multiple drying whipes. Regardless, it's definitely a vast improvement compared to the standard American non bidet process.
It's not beard hair so it's not as stiff. Nothing is as thick as beard hair. Use a clipper with a number 1 guard (1/8"). Less likely to blunt the hair ends, leaves some length to bend, and you won't clip any skin folds. No ingrown either if that's an issue.
I had to get them custom made on Etsy. $45ish each, but 100% worth it. I highly advise against most synthetic fabrics, though.
I have some micromodal ones that are nice, but nothing performs like wool. I'll take them off at the end of the day and they'll be wet from sweat, but my skin is dry.
And that's saying something, because I have hyperhydrosis.
