If you've already searched high and low, and REALLY think you have a unique question, PM a moderator and ask if you can make a thread about it- because if you don't, and it's another shaving thread, it's going in here. This thread is 27 pages for a reason- people always wanting to start threads about shaving...

So... have fun, and don't post about shaving. Thanks! :)

Shaving Below The Belt
 

The forest is getting a little thick so I think I want trim it down. Plus I think clean up after sex, masturbation, etc. would be much simpler and easier. I have never attempted such delicate surgery. How, what, when where, etc. Thanks for any help and or suggestions in this matter

Use a good post-shave healer. Don't do it to often. I shaved two days in a row early last week, and it still looks like damage from a shotgun blast. Also, soaking the area in really hot water whether in a bath or witha hot towel will soften the hair and let it absorb shaving cream better. The best brand of cream is Neutrogena, the kind I use is in a white can with gray and blue on it. If I had waited another day and gotten another can instead of using whatever was around, I wouldn't have my current problem. For post-shave, it's expensive, but Clinique for men post-shave healer is great.

EDIT: How could I forget, BRNAD NEW RAZOR EACH TIME!

:)

There were many posts on threads regarding this on the old board. We really need a standard 'frequent threads' for things like this.
Basic answer, some use razors some use electric shavers like those for hair others just trim with scissors and some pull.
Personally I go for the full combo, electric cutter to keep things down in high density areas, razor for those areas that are good to keep really smooth, and pull the ones that are annoying growing near the penis.

I use an electric trimmer and trim everything nice and short then us a Mach 3 for the boys. That razor is magic!!

So I did it. I got started and said screw it and I went completely bald. I looks a little weird the first time but I think it will grow on me (I just realized what I typed, sorry.......) There is one very distinct and unexpected advantage to going bald: ball sac smell is history. Thanks for all the tips and suggestions.

Use a ceramic blade!

Trust me on that one. ;)

good shave cream for sensitive skin -> Aveeno shave gel.

good razor -> Mach 3 Turbo.
(altho i'm curious about the ceramic blades BoCo mentiond...)

shaving == good, for boys and girls :)

This is how I go about it, but I may have tougher skin that the avg person - I dont get razor burn easily. I use Mach 3 Turbo

I shave when I'm in the shower, no shaving cream, just constantly running hot water. First I prepare the skin with Dove bar soap - helps the razor and your own skin slide along. I start with running against the grain on the shaft and the patch above it. Then I go with the grain the legs. On the sack, by this time it's now fairly loose (not wrinkled) and I can go against the grain without snagging any skin :) When I'm all clean, I just run the bar soap over my bits because it just feels damn good. Ahh what a beautiful feeling.

If you're ever staying at my house, request a separate bar of soap.

I agree with all regarding the Mach 3, best way to go. Here's my discovery though... use the ladies' shaving gel. WAY better than regular shaving cream when it comes to the tender bits.

I shave every 2-3 days. In addition to feeling silky smooth for yourself, the wife/gf is much more willing to give some mouth action if its hairless and odorless down below.

creme de la creme de la creme..

I use a hair removal cream, I aint placin no razor near my balls.. :eek:

GO - that spells out BAKED BEANS for you if you do it too much.

Dude, if you get a good razor, it's not bad at all. I was scared the first time, but I was like, damn this is easy. If you are really scared, get that schick with the protective wires or something ;P

I prefer the electric razor for the goodies. I use a setting of two around the base and either go to the skin or one on the sac. If you put some conditioner on it right after you shave it helps keep the burn away and it feels damn good. If the burn gets to you get yourself some goldbond(only the powder) that stuff is amazing.

Don't be discouraged by your first shaving experience. The first time likely won't end up as nice as you desire. But a few more shaves along the road and your skin will be more accustomed to the blade, and you won't be suffering from any razor burn or anything.

The trick with the razor areas is to use one that you've already used on your face once or twice. Something about the used blades make things go much smoother...

For the general trim areas I use a #2 gaurd on hair clippers. Razor on shaft and ballz.

GOOOOOOO TEAM!!!!!!!!

how do you take cre of an ingrown hair???

I've never done it before but I imagine it would be simpler to just go get it professionally waxed. I suppose that would hurt a bit though.

It's never been an issue with me.

I get them sometimes when I'm an idiot and shave the wrong direction. You just need to get a sharp pin and tweezers and yank those suckers own. It hurts for a little, but it's a small price to pay for smootheness!

get one of those ladies razors that has the little wires over the blades, its called silk effects i believe, ive been using it for over a year, never even nicked my sack. also curel makes some post shave lotion that is intended to make hair more sparse and softer when it grows back, ive been using it since early feburary and my nut hair is much softer and easier to shave.its called Smooth Legs and technically is a shave minimizing moisturizer.

well I thought about it, but I play basketball and that means having a shower with friends and so ... guess they would all be looking at my ... shaved balls ... and I wouldn't like that

Is it true if you cut your sack you can't stop the bleeding?

BooRadley - Completely false. It just hurts like hell. Blood is the same blood as anywhere else. It eventually clots.

I've done it before, but won't do it again. The sweat produced down there is meant to combine with hair. Without the fuzziness, my sac sticks to my legs like NOTHING ELSE. it is such a pain in the ass. If you really wanted to, you could trim the sac hair and pubes, but leave the hair inbetween your legs and cock-tal area

well i pluck my balls... and any hair thats creeping up the shaft... yah ya might think it might hurt... but it doesnt...sometimes if i get 2 hairs at once it can hurt... as for the rest of the hair... ive ben tossing around the idea of shaving it... but havnt been able to make that last step and do it...

I've done it a few times before but it was too much upkeep for an unappreciative girlfriend. Now I just use a trimmer on one of the low settings once a week.

Quick question. Has anyone ever used an electric razor, not trimmer, down there? Like a flathead electric razor (not one with the three circles) that you'd use on your face. I've considered it, but it's a little too intimidating. However it gets my face extremely smooth, why wouldn't it work wonders on my balls? :confused: :D

I hear plucking can lead to infections in the area. Just something you might want to watch out for.

Never use an electric razor. Ever. The skin on your dick/balls is much, much looser than the skin on your face (unless you're in your 70's or something). Since most electric razors pull the hair to cut it, skin also gets pulled. While this doesn't really matter on your face, I don't think you want to risk having a piece of your scrotum chopped off for the sake of smoothness.

Mach 3 Turbo is the way to go, as is the new Gillette gel (I'm not a company man, I swear). I think they should put out an add just for that. Imagine those 3 space chicks lathering the guy up, shaving his privates, then the guy wakes up spent in his bathroom with that silver lipstick all over his cock n' balls...

Yeah, I should be in marketing.

Electric razor on gonads= evil satan blood pain.

trust me........

Agreed with most of above, use a good sharp razor and lots and lots of sensitive skin shaving cream.

Bald willy and nookie= awesome fun good sex. worth the work, esp. if your significant other does it as well.

I am sorry if this is a stupid question but would it help to shave whilst erect? Making the skin a little more taut and less "baggy?" Just wondering.

MACH 3 TURBO- 'nuff said. Also, get some good "sensitive skin" shaving gel. I usually find that I start without an erection, but I can only handle the shit for so long before, well, I react.

As for the guy worried about his friends eyeing his nards in the shower- they come off with any bullshit, you tell them there's no way they get as much head as you do, and all because it's shaved. That'll shut them up.

Is there really a big difference between the mach3 and the mach3Turbo ?

plucking? scary. mach 3, good choice. works real good

That's exactly what I do. It works awsome. Be wary of aftershave down there though. You have to remember that you're probably going to stick your wedding tackle back into your BVDs right after you've finished and you don't want that alchohol slowly digesting your nuts over the course of the day.

Ps. Remember to leave a landing strip for the ladies above Nixon's nose and thank me later.

Is there any truth to plucking causes infection? I have a few hairs growing up the shaft. I have used tweezers and plucked them befor (completely smooth and they don't grow back for awhile) and it seemed to work fine.

i dont know... i havnt been doing it for very long... but i havnt noticed any signs of infection...

Are you guys shaving just the sac or getting on down between your legs and into the nether regions? just curious.....

As for the risk of infection with tweezing... Just make sure the skin and tweezers are clean, and if it starts looking irritated, put some polysporin on it or something.

I trim real close and shave my balls. I like a woman who is shaved or at the very least, trimmed real real close. Landing strips are best in my opinion.

I used to shave it all the time but... beings that i dont have a gf at the moment there is not really a reason to do more than trim. At one point, when I was really doing a thorough job I shaved it between the cheeks and all... felt really good at first but DAMN when it started growing back in it got super itchy and people were looking at me funny at work cause I was walking all odd and stuff.

As far as whether its worth it or not? Oh hell yeah... nothing like 2 clean shaven lovers

I shaved it al once and , as justmentioned, it itched like a mother. I just trim it now. i tried using my beard trimmer on the ongest setting, but that was just the right legnth to itch like hell again so now i just use scissors and pray for steady hands :P

Shaved Cock
 

Do women really like shaved cocks, or is it just my wife?:confused:

Guess not... if so i thought maybe I'd post a picture.

Post the pictures and you are likely to get some comments. :)

I know my wife likes it. I am pretty sure most women like it also.

Most of the girls I know like it shaved, or at least trimmed

i figure if i like the courtesy of a shaved and cleaned up woman, i should show the same courtesy

shaved is better!!! IMO

yep. shave it.

If you go for shaved, how much upkeep does it take? How often will you need to shave it or have it shaved?

i shave every other day. i shave by balls too though, leave some up top. any longer than 2 days and it starts getting a little itchy =\

i keep myself shaved almost all the time. i shave about 2 times a week. its only common courtesy to the girl youre with, and hopefully she does the same.

there aint no razor gettin near my balls.. use a cream... just don't leave it on for too long.. personal experience...

yeah, ive tried the cremes before too. they take a bit longer, and smell kinda bad, but the smoothness lasts longer. if it misses anything, you can always trim with a razor.

Get in the shower, turn the water on as hot as you can stand, and start shaving the top part... when your nuts are all droopy, shave them until they start to spring back up, then shave something else... you can't get a close shave on em if they're all wrinkly, so you have to switch between the balls and the rest of your pubes the whole time you're in the shower.

PS- Mach3 Turbo. Nothing else.

Looks like this guy failed to read what this thread was actually about.

Anyway, it's been my experience that females generally prefer a very well-groomed genital area. In fact, I have yet to meet a female who would say, "NO, NO SHAVING!"

shaving below the belt 2-noob
 

ok. so this is how it is: im asian, so basically, i dont have any facial hair. and for the peach fuzz that i do shave, its w/an electric razor. so i need some basic info.

-what's shaving against/with the grain
-how do you prevent/remove ingrown hairs.

and the majority seem to agree with mach3 turbo in the shower

thanks

What do you mean by "cock"? I personally don't have hair on the shaft which is what I'd call my cock..

But really. Watch some 70's porno when even trimming was unheard of? GAHH! it's like a goddamn terrible forest! Obviously a girl would want the same thing. Personally, I'd just say "keep it neat" rather than hairless. Trim to a little less than, say (if you have reasonable sized hands) the width of your finger. Do like they do at the barber shop, take the hair between your index and middle fingers and cut what shows.

bah, i still say that's too long. i keep myself to about 1/8 of an inch and i like my girls bald, but thats more up to them than me :P The little strip works too

oh, question regarding. how often do you change your razor? i just use a mach 3 turbo, but i cant tell when i need to change the razor.

I think I know for a fact that my sister 'The Bitch' likes men natural and hairy. Other than that, I would assume modern women appreciate a shaved piston.

i change my blade when the little blue/white strip is worn out. or if you can obviously feel that it is dull

Change the blade if you feel the razor "dragging." It's tough to describe what that feels like, but contrast a new blade to an old one and you'll figure it out.

On the women liking the shorn look, I've never heard of one who didn't. And it gives you leverage to ask her to do the same if she doesn't already! It has the added advantage of making your cock look larger as well, as you aren't loosing length in the forest!

Pretty much what I thought I would hear. I do it almost every day. It doesn't itch or anything if you do the shower, use a good blade and the best creme seems to be that Aveeno. To Snake eyes... maybe you don't but I do have a few strays that go slightly up the shaft (about the first 1" or so)... but basically I meant the entire pubic region. My wife does all of hers too. It feels great when we both are bald, and hurts a bit if I am and she isn't. She will suck me anytime that it is kept up, but doesn't like it at all if left undone. After a while of doing it (I have been doing it for about 8 years) it is just another thing to do in the shower and becomes routine. The balls are a bit more tedious, but worth it if it allows her to suck on them more often. When she does it for me, she also shaves my ass... which I thought was a bit weird, except that she will be more apt to play down there if it is smooth too. PLUS, I just like the way it looks better.

whats this cream stuff??? Because Man i am scared to death about putting a razor to my balls, tried 3 times ... blood 3 times. Guess i just don't have the skill.

generally yes , just because of the smooth and clean factor, unless they are really into the hairy genital thing and then it usually has to be very hairy, gorilla like, almost

DAMN. I thought someone finally going to show how to shave a rooster.

i cannot begin to express the depression this disapointment with produce.

Err... Shaving... something
 

Okay, yeah I feel like a fag asking this...

How the f* do you shave your asshole+ass? It's impossible, wtf. If I'm going to compete ( bodybuilding ). I have to do this. Could you imagine a guy in a speedo with a assfro coming out the back?

Re: Err... Shaving... something
 

Very carefully ;)

and yes, it's perfectly possible.

use a good razor (Mach3 Turbo) and good cream (Aveeno).

good luck.

(ps) if you have a gf, you could just ask her to do it for you :)

probably best in the shower
oh yes, and use a separate razor.;)

I should probably put this in a separate thread, but I've found that plain old soap does far far better than any shaving cream or gel I've found. It's especially good for shaving um, sensitive areas? It's slicker, and doesn't get scraped away on the 1st or second pass. I swear I get a more comfortable shave this way, and it's cheaper to boot! Found this out when I ran out of gel one day.

i'm wondering if, for competition, getting it waxed wouldn't be the better idea... there are plenty of places who will do this for the right price... however "faggish" (and i loathe people using that word in that context, please don't do it again) it may seem.

You just wanna see, Suviko..

Greedy!!!

j/k

What do you mean, show you how to? You mean take pictures as I do it? For some reason I can't post pictures... settings wrong when I signed up? I'd be happy to do that if people wanted to see. Actually gets me hard thinking about it.

I know I like it better shaved, if that helps you any.

shaved is gross. just keep it trimmed up (personal opinion)

helps me alot.... thanks!

shaved is very, very, very nice but from what i gather, not very pleasant to the gal. a good trim at least.

Cocks get hairy? I thought only your nads got hairy.. :eek: :hmm:

As someone who is 3/4 werewolf, yes, cocks get hairy

Damn that must suck. Does it affect you during sex?

I never knew so many women prefer shaved. I guess I'm just old. My girl says she likes it the way it is. Just a little trim now and again.

not if your shaved....

Thanks everyone, good heads up platypus.

Cream all the way.. hair removal cream.. works for me.. as I said once before.. aint putting no razor near my balls..

Yeah, I just started experimenting with that myself, as the cream can get pretty irritating after awhile. I was surprised that there was no trouble at all with the razor. I wouldn't want to try with a single edge blade though!

yea. speaking of cereal, lucky charms is magically disgusting. peeps who eat it are jus messed up =)

If you are prone to getting sweaty nadgers you might want some kind of baby powder down there, as hair reduces friction and if theres none left then it can get a bit clammy I suppose.
I've never really talked to other males about this before but personally I shave my sack and shaft and leave everything else trimmed. I usually neaten up the edges as well, it just looks better and is certainly more comfortable provided you are reasonably regular and careful with it.

I had my butt shaved once and a few weeks later I had an in-growing hair right inside my butt-cheek.

It was the the most painful experience I've ever had.

Try the sideburn trimmer on your old electric shaver. Works wonders for polishing off unwanted hair - no cuts, scrapes or ouchees. Won't trim down to the skin, of course, but she'll thank you later.

Lie down in the tub, with a couple of inches of water. Just like the ladies do their areas. And speakin' of the ladies - they'll dig it. sk

where ever chicks goto get Brazilian Wax will have something similar, but it dunno if u wanna do that

dude, get waxed - unless you want funky smelling clippers. Getting waxed may not sound pleasant, but it will last longer.

take 2 pieces of sand paper and rub them together. Thats what you'll get if you shave back there. That's why I suggest waxing.

In Sydney a few places offer "sack, crack and back" waxing, its really popular just before Mardi gra.

My own experience of waxing has been mixed, my wife and I did each other when we were pissed out of our minds and it was really fun and sexy, tried it when we were sobber and nearly died of agony.

Now use a three blade razor and shaving gel and everythings fine.

Urm i just shave it when im in the shower.

I do it a lot cause i hate ass hair.:lol::hmm:

Actually the risk of infection is there. I know a guy who got a tiny tiny piece of a shell in his pants, they made a small cut in his ass, it got infected ... he didn't notice, now he has only one leg and is lucky to be alive.
