So I finally ... ah trimmed myself... down there. Did it as a surprise for Yoshi, who flipped out and absolutely loved it. And I must say, it certainly looks a lot cleaner.

I know us guys have talked about this in innumerable threads, so wanted to share my quick story with those thinking about making the plunge. Like many, the idea of taking a razor to my scrotum was enough to halt any thoughts I had about this right in their tracks. Thanks to another poster, though, I learned about Magic Shaving Powder - a depilatory that removes the hair painlessly and without the chance of slicing off your boys. (It's typically used by black men who get ingrown hairs when shaving their face.)

It worked wonders and didn't have the effects that something like Nair would. Well, mostly. If you leave this on your skin for more than 5 minutes or so, it will cause burns. I went slow, doing one side, then the other - and there was some overlap I didn't notice until it was a bit too late. (It hurt like hell, but thankfully, it cleared up within 24 hours.)

If you're a fence-sitter on shaving, scared by the thought of razor burn, nicks or ingrown hairs, I highly recommend Magic. Get the platinum can (for sensitive skin) and follow the directions. Top it off with a little trim up top and you'd be amazed at the reception it gets!
