just a follow-up to when i was just starting to shave down there, i've gotten into a nice routine that seems to work well.
first time i shaved pretty much everything, i was bald as a...naked mole rat. whew, i thought of something, good. the next week was itchy hell as i sometimes walked around awkwardly so i didn't get any friction. anyways, after a while the itch disappeared.
once i got into the routine i was able to shave around the shaft and balls and under my bellybutton easily, and just used the beard trimmer on my braun shaver every few months to trim the long hairs i didn't shave.
pretty much twice a week i would just take a mach3 turbo and a bar of soap with me to the shower in addition to the body wash and shampoo, turn the shower on low, and just use the soap instead of shave gel. as people have said, your skin does get used to it. i used to spend about 10 minutes just making sure i got everything and being safe. now it only takes a few minutes, as i'm not worried about a lot of irritation.
so once again, mach3 turbo and soap, it's simple. good luck to everyone, and the rumour about your unit looking bigger after you shave ... is true.
