Shaving 101

[LaPerla12]

I shave it all off and I love it when a guy does the same. It makes oral way better.... as for bumps there is a topical analgesic called noxzema bikini it's great because it helps prevent those red bumps for a smooth look.

I have been keeping it mostly totally bare all summer now and love the feeling. I even went and bought a home waxing kit to try it and have now used it three times and like the waxing since it last me about three weeks. The first time I waxed it wasn't very pleasant and right after I thought that it wasn't worth it. But after a few days I liked the result and in three weeks decided to do it again. The next time wasn't as bad and the hair had grown back in softer and wasn't as thick as the first time. Then I have done it a third time. The third time I even took the small patch of hair I left above the penis off and have been totally bare now for three weeks. I still shave the scrotum since the waxing didn't work well there and pulled some skin off also.

My wife has let hers pubic hair grow back for awhile and I am missing the nice smooth area down to her patch she leaves just above the labia folds. Hopefully she will get the razor out soon and shave down to her patch. Maybe I need to offer to do it for her.

Also, I have an electric shaver, which is probably what I'm going to use, but does anyone have any specific razors (brands, types) to use that you can recommend to me? Everyone says just use new/sharp razors, but I've never shaved my genitals before so I'm very nervous about cutting myself!

3. If I decide to trim, or not completely shave the area around my shaft, will it be irritating and itchy for my partner?

I use a Philips "Bodygroom 500" electric razor. It's designed for male grooming all over, including the genital area too. I have nicked myself just once or twice with it (due to holding the blade at the wrong angle), but overall it's comfortable and safe to use and feels great.

It has a comb that you put over the foil (blades) to trim hair - trim it first, then take the comb off and shave.

I try to avoid shaving in the bath or shower, I find that your scrotum becomes loose and the skin rolls up - making shaving difficult. If your scrotum is cool, your skin should be tighter enabling you to get a good surface to shave.
Basically you should sit on the edge of the bathtub and put your palm (opposite to the one you shave with) I'm lefthanded so I use my right hand. Cup your balls gently in the palm and draw them up gently. This presents a nice smooth rounded area to shave (less terrain means less nicks with the blade) also this presents the area you asked about (between the anus and balls - the Perenium) for a good shave too. Be careful when shaving the Perenium though as you can catch the little ridge in the centre. That's the main area to pay special care to.

The penis itself isn't that hairy, the root of the underside can be, but you can just lift your penis up towards your stomach to flatten the area for a better shave.

Origionally I opted to shave my balls and cock but leave a bit of pubic hair above (though trimmed). Then I just went completely bald and I much prefer it, as does my wife!

With the Bodygroom, you get a good close shave and really just need a touch up every three or so days.


Hope that helps

Simple solution- Don't shave!

You may want to try waxing. However, if you are dead-set on being hairless without involving hot stickiness, follow these simple instructions.

1) Soak in a nice hot bath in order to open up your pores. This will prevent ingrown hairs which can be entirely unpleasant and look a lot like an STD.

2)After you have been soaking for a bit, make sure that you use a mild shaving lotion for sensitive skin to lather up the region.
*NEVER DRY SHAVE YOUR GENITAL AREA! DON'T EVEN TRY IT!

3)Using a new disposable razor or well-cleaned electric razor, begin shaving, remembering to rinse the razor frequently. Use a light pressure and shave in the direction of the hair.

If you follow these steps things should turn out much better.

GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY HUMPING!

There are specific products for elliminating/reducing irritation in the genital area due to shaving. BikiniZone is a cheap product that can be easily found. I actually prefer to use the shave kit from haircaredownthere.com. It has everything from stencils for cool shapes to lotion and soothing spray. I haven't had any irritation since I've started using this product.

thank you so much. i've been shaving for about half a year now and this really did make a difference. i guess you could say i'm a natural blonde.. i just never thought about trying to soak first. so thanks, and i'll definitely keep this method.

Baby oil, do it in the bath or shower, so there is water...
