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.

    Trial and error was the preferred way prior to the internet. Just watch what your doing and be careful.

    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.

    Get on Grindr, I’m sure a gay guy would offer to wax you for free. You do get random offers

    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.

    I don’t think can be taught. At least not on a video. You just do it at it’ll get easier over time. I’ve been doing it for about 20 years and I went from “this is impossible” to “what even was hard about this” in just a year or so.

    Never done it. Actually tempted out of curiosity, but just feels like another additional task. Married with kids, so it’s not like I’m out there trying to win the Best Groomed Junk game. I’m curious though, is natural (but clean) junk a deal breaker for some of you? It was never a factor in my dating game, but then I’m old AF.

    Get waxed, I’ve been doing it for a couple years now, worth it.

    Hurts a bit when they pull it off, but not nearly as bad as you imagine, and it only hurts for an instant, not like it’s a pain that’s gonna linger around with you.

    Smoother and longer-lasting than you could ever hope to manage with a razor, and no risk of cutting yourself

    Depending on your skin, maybe you could have some issues with ingrown hairs, but I’m pretty sure if you’re prone to that you’re probably gonna have those issues shaving too.

    My only complaint is the price, the place I’ve been going charges about $75 (+tip) for their “basic” service, which is just shaft and sack. I’m personally a really hairy dude and I feel like it would look weird for me to go beyond that and have bald patches on my crotch and ass crack, and I’m certainly not gonna spend the time and money for a full body waxing.

    The full, most premium package to get all of you junk and butt waxed with all the extra goes up to something like $150 (+tip), and there’s a few options in-between so that you have a sense of the price range.

    Which I do think is a pretty fair price for the service, but it’s also certainly not cheap. Personally I kind of justify it because I’ve known people who spend that much or more or haircuts about as often as I get it done, and i shave my head myself with a safety razor, so my haircut expenses are basically 0, so just kind of trading one grooming expense for another.

    I usually go about a month and a half between waxings, first week or two there’s no noticeable hair regrowth, and by the 6th week I usually have about the required ¼ inch or so for waxing. Takes about a half hour for what I get done.

    In some places it can be hard to find places that do it for dudes, and not all employees are trained or willing to do male waxing, so don’t ruin it for the rest of us, wash your ass and junk and don’t be a creep.

      Def something I’ve considered, but the cost isn’t ideal, and I feel like the pain would be otherworldly…

        The pain really isn’t that bad

        And at least for me, the worst parts of it are more on my sort of FUPA area, not so much on my dick and balls themselves, so for the service I get, it’s only like 3 patches around the edges that actually hurt. Might suck more if you’re planning to get more than that done, but I can’t really comment on that myself.

        And again. It’s only for an instant with each rip and then it’s over, by the time you’ve flinched it’s already stopped hurting.

    Hair removal cream for most areas. Cheeks, base and pube line. If not looking for a wax looking. Shave the hairy bits with a electric razor and then in the shower smooth off with a razor. Always use a 5 blade razor, I found it nicked less and was quicker. If it’s been a while and a jungle, best bet book a waxer and just get over it. I’m nd and hate anything up close or touchy touchy but it’s like ripping off those really sticky plaster. Small pain and then she’s waxing the next part. I’ve had head to toe. You will be grateful after

    YouTube has (had?) waxing tutorials for men and women, uncensored, shmeckel and knish and all. The whole nine inches yo.

    Shave top-down for pubes, sides, and front of sack (slowly), then shave your taint from crack to balls while holding your sack upwards, creating a longer runway.

    If you want cleaner results:

    -No Hair Crew Intimate, for balls and crack

    -No Hair Crew Body, for everything else

    -Nair for Men, If the above is not strong enough for your body hair

    YMMV

        Also do a small test patch somewhere on your skin and wait for at least a day. Shitty way to find you’re getting a reaction if you already spread it to larger areas

        I’ve never used Nair on my junk, but IME it doesn’t do shit to my leg hair unless I leave it on at least twice as long as it says. In other words, if you have thick hair you probably should use something else.

    I use a foil-style electric. No cuts and no irritation. Do NOT use a rotary-style electric. You don’t want a lift and cut system tugging on your short and curlies. If I use a regular 5 blade manual razor, even if I don’t cut myself, I get irritation and itchiness for days after.

      Yeah, my foil style electric is what I have been using, and I constantly nick myself, or else it leaves little tiny blood spots.
