Nunquam_Idem

Rather than make one huge post on my shaving experiences, I'll break it up into a couple / few. This one is about how I did my backside...

A few days after shaving my pubes, shaft, and boys, I screwed up enough courage to go all the way and try my backside as well. After a good shower scrubbing, I sat on the vanity in the bathroom over the sink with a little hand held mirror and *very* carefully spread shaving cream around and went to work with the Venus razor. It was tedious and difficult and the lighting wasn't great, I could barely see what I was doing.

It went ok. Took a long time, but was worth it. I used more Pjur Eros lube for aftershave in the area, and washed my hands.

Boy, walking after that took on a whole new feel. Smooth. Unhindered. Pretty nice.

Later on, I discovered one of the aformentioned ill side effects that I would have been better prepared for had I seen this thread- I had always been a master of the "Silent & Deadly" passing of gas. Eeps, silent no more! Without all that hair to muffle things and keep the skin from touching, cutting cheese unnoticably is very, very difficult. Something to consider before trying it out, any who are curious.

I did it again after a week or so had gone by. Second time was much easier since it wasn't a bunch of long hairs. I got closer and felt less fear of cutting myself. I had learned that the razor only cuts hair, not skin.

This time, even though it felt really strange, I stood on the vanity facing away from the mirror and bent over to see what I was doing in the big mirror. Better lighting, and it was a lot faster. Hope that's not too much info for everyone :-) I might eventually try to do it by feel in the shower, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that.

I'm about due again, I might this weekend...
