Title. Obviously youtube is out. Google results have been unhelpful. I tried Pornhub, but no dice. I wanna learn how to shave my twig and berries nice and smooth, because I’m a considerate partner - but I’m tired of trial and error and nicking myself on the nuts.
Years ago I saw a suggestion to use women’s razors, which makes sense, tried a partner’s and have never gone back.
What’s the difference?
I’m sure men’s razors have probably improved over time for this use-case, but I find good women’s blades to be more gentle on the sensitive skin and I feel like it’s a closer, smoother shave with no razor burn or bumps even if used with minimal shaving creme. I theorize that women’s razors are designed specifically for body shaving, and for example, legs are a large amount of real estate to keep shaved; where traditionally men’s razors were only “designed” for the face.
I also found a silicone “stropper” somewhere a decade ago to use with disposable blades, which I quickly use just before, that extends their life quite substantially.
That’s odd. My gf got sick of women’s razors and started using men’s razors for shaving.
Hot shower
Get it warm and loosened up first
Gillette mach 3
Shave toward the tip (so, shave down from above, shave up from below, etc)
Safety razor, short strokes, gently, with the grain
There are actual shavers made for this, skin close shave without any chance of knicking the bits. Done in like 5 minutes. Mine has a foil in the middle and two tiny teeth shavers on each side to trim the long stuff.
If you’re going for smooth just use Veet (hair removal cream) instead. Make sure you get the SENSITIVE kind though.
If you’re really hairy trim first - leave about 1cm length.
Wash thorough and moisturise after. Smooth as a baby in 15 mins.
Trial and error was the preferred way prior to the internet. Just watch what your doing and be careful.
Don’t shave! You are much more likely to get an infection down there where it’s moist and there’s minimal air flow. Use a set of trimmers with a #1 guard.
My advice, is go to an hair removal place. Pay extra to take care of yourself, because avoiding those cuts early is worth it.
Unless you have a friend who doesn’t mind getting up close and personal with your boys.
Get some Nair. Just rub it on all the places with hair, avoid the tip. Wait 10 minutes, then rub the hair off with a wash cloth in the shower. Way smoother of a shave than I’ve ever gotten with a razor, and soooo much easier and more comfortable to do.
I second this. Unless you are allergic to the compounds, this is the best way. The hair will not come back sharp, but smooth and thin. And you don’t have to repeat it for a couple of weeks.
Hot water / hot towel soaked in hot water helps
Hair removal cream for most areas. Cheeks, base and pube line. If not looking for a wax looking. Shave the hairy bits with a electric razor and then in the shower smooth off with a razor. Always use a 5 blade razor, I found it nicked less and was quicker. If it’s been a while and a jungle, best bet book a waxer and just get over it. I’m nd and hate anything up close or touchy touchy but it’s like ripping off those really sticky plaster. Small pain and then she’s waxing the next part. I’ve had head to toe. You will be grateful after
Shave top-down for pubes, sides, and front of sack (slowly), then shave your taint from crack to balls while holding your sack upwards, creating a longer runway.
If you want cleaner results:
-No Hair Crew Intimate, for balls and crack
-No Hair Crew Body, for everything else
-Nair for Men, If the above is not strong enough for your body hair
YMMV
DO NOT LEAVE NAIR ON FOR LONGER THAN THE DIRECTIONS SAY
I’ve never used Nair on my junk, but IME it doesn’t do shit to my leg hair unless I leave it on at least twice as long as it says. In other words, if you have thick hair you probably should use something else.
Trim the hair first, then use cream, for best results.
This sounds like the voice of painful, painful experience.
Also do a small test patch somewhere on your skin and wait for at least a day. Shitty way to find you’re getting a reaction if you already spread it to larger areas
Use Gillette fusion in the shower. That’s all I do and haven’t nicked myself once.
Yep any decent trimmer will do, no need to overcomplicate things like the top comment does
Just go slow and pay attention, if you’re really nervous trim first then use a chemical hair remover just try it on a spot first as some can be sensitive or allergic to it
But for the love of God, don’t try it on your junk first. Try it pretty much anywhere else, like on your thigh or something. Oh my god, just not on your junk, please!
Yeah, try it on someone else’s junk.
You actually should spot test it on your junk, because the skin is more sensitive than other areas.
Sure, but AFTER you confirm it doesn’t cause chemical burns elsewhere.
Fair enough
Just speaking from experience and compassionate concern. Hahahah
