Title. Obviously youtube is out. Google results have been unhelpful. I tried Pornhub, but no dice. I wanna learn how to shave my twig and berries nice and smooth, because I’m a considerate partner - but I’m tired of trial and error and nicking myself on the nuts.
Don’t do it when it is not tightened up… give it a stretch… when I did I kept my finger close to the razor blade and avoided over commitiment. You will figure it out… I think you are over thinking it. Ain’t no thang but a chicken wang.
Hot shower
Get it warm and loosened up first
Gillette mach 3
Shave toward the tip (so, shave down from above, shave up from below, etc)
Don’t shave! You are much more likely to get an infection down there where it’s moist and there’s minimal air flow. Use a set of trimmers with a #1 guard.
Just go slow and pay attention, if you’re really nervous trim first then use a chemical hair remover just try it on a spot first as some can be sensitive or allergic to it
But for the love of God, don’t try it on your junk first. Try it pretty much anywhere else, like on your thigh or something. Oh my god, just not on your junk, please!
Yeah, try it on someone else’s junk.
You actually should spot test it on your junk, because the skin is more sensitive than other areas.
Sure, but AFTER you confirm it doesn’t cause chemical burns elsewhere.
Fair enough
Get some Nair. Just rub it on all the places with hair, avoid the tip. Wait 10 minutes, then rub the hair off with a wash cloth in the shower. Way smoother of a shave than I’ve ever gotten with a razor, and soooo much easier and more comfortable to do.
I second this. Unless you are allergic to the compounds, this is the best way. The hair will not come back sharp, but smooth and thin. And you don’t have to repeat it for a couple of weeks.
Making mistakes is part of the fun!
Googling ‘how to reattach testicle’ while crying
My advice, is go to an hair removal place. Pay extra to take care of yourself, because avoiding those cuts early is worth it.
Unless you have a friend who doesn’t mind getting up close and personal with your boys.
A few tips. No scissors or electric shavers. Pull areas to be tight and flat. Go slow at first. Use a razor you’ve used a couple times so it’s not at it’s sharpest, it’ll still get the job done but be less likely to cause major cuts.
Also general advice, if your partner doesn’t fully appreciate the results or effort then stop trying. I’ve never gotten criticized about a “full bush” or specifically complemented on a “smooth finish” so I stopped trying. Not worth the hassle if your partner thinks you’re already sexy. More sit-ups or push ups might be more appreciated.
Thanks!
As for my partner’s appreciation - I pretty frequently seek out new partners, so I like to make a good first impression. So even if a current partner doesn’t mind, I want to be able to be ready to make that good first impression whenever the opportunity presents itself.
And yeah, lol, I actually did a core + push up + OHP workout yesterday. Goal is press BW and dead 2x BW! Mirror check today showed some okay ab and oblique pop despite being more than 5lbs over my goal weight
Why not electric shavers? I used a razor once, but in 1 or 2 days the hairs became terribly itchy, sharp and uncomfortable.
Probably not the norm but I’ve gotten pinched by an electric once. Using a razor I might get some nicks but I often don’t even notice it happened until a few seconds later.
I get one or two nicks/pinches per shave on my electric shaver, but for me its worth it because the resulting shave is smoother/softer, I don’t need lubricants or shaving creams, and the chances of getting ingrown hairs is pretty much zero
Foil shavers work perfectly fine. I use a Panasonic arc 5 for it daily.
Norelco makes a body shaver that is pretty great. The Body Groomer. It’s a little pricey but it works well.
Oh man, will def need to check it out. Thanks!
Electric shavers in general tend to leave the cut ends of hairs less sharp and thus more comfortable and less likely to ingrow. I used a razor once and will never use one again.
Get on Grindr, I’m sure a gay guy would offer to wax you for free. You do get random offers
Legit suggestion, but I don’t think I’d take it. I’m terrible about setting boundaries with gay guys because I don’t want them to feel bad that I’m not attracted to them.
Same. I’m still trying to work up the courage to tell my husband that I’m not gay. I’m hoping to do it before our 10 year anniversary…
You don’t have to fancy them for a service, Some are happy to do so. They are not asking for you to bend over yet
Shit, some might even pay you to do it.
wtf
It happens, you feel a dick instead of a wax strip on your cheeks
Use Gillette fusion in the shower. That’s all I do and haven’t nicked myself once.
Yep any decent trimmer will do, no need to overcomplicate things like the top comment does
If you’re going for smooth just use Veet (hair removal cream) instead. Make sure you get the SENSITIVE kind though.
If you’re really hairy trim first - leave about 1cm length.
Wash thorough and moisturise after. Smooth as a baby in 15 mins.
Thanks for the rec!
Does your partner want this? Every partner I’ve ever had thought he was doing me a favor by becoming hairless in some way, shaving his chest or manscaping all the way down to the skin and I hate it! Keeping things tidy is one thing, shaving down to the skin is another. So unless your partner has expressed a desire for you to do this, ask them first! If you already know this is something they want from you, well good on you for trying to do it the best way possible
I pretty consistently have new partners, so I can’t say. Really my main concern is going from bush to shaved or trimmed quickly and easily without cutting myself.
Safety razor, short strokes, gently, with the grain
Cutting against the grain results in a more tender steak.
And more ingrown hairs probably
Based on how much I cut myself with a safety razor on the face when I tried using one (for quite a while, actually), I don’t know if this is the path for me.
Personally, I find it much easier down under, because the hair is a lot thinner…
Your hair is thinner down there?!?
Ah, I meant that as in the individual hair have less circumference and therefore are easier to cut through.
Congrats on your soft, velvety pubes. Mine are coarse enough to use as a scrub brush.
All I can say is my hair down there is the thickest of anywhere on my body, both in terms of individual hair diameter and in terms of hair follicle density per area.
