Shaving tips?
 

I've tried shaving my dick many times over the years, but it's never worked out well. I've consulted many web pages about it and none of the tips seem to help.

Most commonly I'll do it in a warm shower with a disposable razor. I can get the pubes above the shaft just fine. The shaft itself I can get mostly smooth; always some stragglers though. But the balls and taint? I've never been able to do a satisfactory job, and have often cut myself, which is never pleasant.

I've considered waxing, but I'd kind of want to get down to my goal weight first out of vanity's sake- still 15-20 pounds over my goal. But I see all you guys posting with perfect-looking shaves and I don't see how you do it. Please share your wisdom!

(I've also tried with electrics, but those are terrible on the balls. Cut my balls when they're tight and wrinkly, or don't get the hair when they're loose and smooth.)

I shave my legs and genitals in the shower with warm water.
I don't use disposables though.
I use a razor with replaceable heads, the kind that pivot up and down.
I like those best.

Do you hold your balls a special way? How do you keep from nicking yourself? I used to use Mach 3 replaceable cartridges, but switched to disposables just due to cost. (It's ridiculous that you can by 50 complete razors more cheaply than 10 cartridges.) Haven't noticed a difference in effectiveness.

My fiance does it in the shower, too, with the razors that have the replaceable heads. He takes his sweet time, and works on one section at a time and keeps the skin pulled as taut as he can.

I don't know if it makes a difference with guys or not, since he's never done it, but I find with myself atleast that if I've let things go for awhile and my hair's grown out more, I always get a better looking shave if I trim it back first.

I shave below every day as I shower. My skin has become accustomed to it and I seldom get a cut. I pull my sack skin tight and shave both up and down. I use a Gillette multi blade and shaving cream but shampoo or conditioner works. For me, regular shaving works best and I can do the job in around 2 or 3 minutes.

Hmm. I do keep pretty closely trimmed, so I guess I'm ahead of the game there. I think you folks might have a point that the more often you do it the more your skin gets accustomed to it. I think I will try a daily thing where my goal each day isn't to get every last hair; just keep working on it day by day.

Thanks!

Hmm, I've been working on it the past couple of days, and it's looking pretty good! I'm supposed to meet up with one of my lady friends tomorrow for some pictures and playtime. I'm eager to show it off!

I tend to use an ancient single blade razor. One of those where you replace the blade, rather then having to throw the whole thing away. Works quite well all round and the tip about using conditioner is good, I've used that before and it does soften the pubes enough to get a good cut.

Woohoo, the new pics are up in my SPH Adventures thread.

Thanks everybody! The little guy's so nice and smooth I keep pulling it out to look at it. It's like having a new dick.

Though I'm not constantly shaved, I try to shave at least once a year for a 2 or 3 month period; I usually shave my beard off at the same time. Been doing this for quite a while - and I've noticed it gets more difficult each year to get a really close shave. Anyway, except for an extreme close up, you really can't see the stubble I'm unable to shave in a picture. It's much harder to shave my balls when the sack hangs loose; but when it's taut I'm more likely to get a nick.

@MarkBld: I get that occasionally but I find that going over the initial razor shave with an electric shaver usally sorts out any stubble. I recommend a Braun, I found those work best for me.

Well if you look at my thread on the pics and vids section, there is a shaveless cream that I use. When I did use a razor, any kind of razor, I would nic myself, get razor bumps and ingrown hairs, but since using this shaveless cream, I get none of those with all the hairless results.

Remington Smooth & Silky all in one Body and Bikini kit

Got it on sale for like ~$15.

Set the comb on 1 and trim away. Foil trimmer for close-in. Short enough for that visual enhancement and better feeling while jerking off, and no more ingrown hairs.

I find I get the best 'finish' with hair remover ('Veet' in the UK).

Daily in shower
 

Once you've been shaving for a while in the shower, you can actually touch-up every morning- even with a 10 sec. dry shave-No prob @ all & you will be smooth as a babies ass all the time!

I don't shave, I pluck, and the results are great. No regrowth for two weeks, and the hair isn't prickly when it comes back, and it doesn't come back all at once.

I tried Veet, but it was too strong. I would get a burning sensation. What do you use?

I shave with a Gilette in the shower. I wash with soap and then shave. but never against the growh of the hair. After I use an alcoholic hand sanitizer to kill germs and finish with pure aloe vera gel and a aftershave lotion for sensitive skin. Works for me and I never have shaving rash. I shave like this every 3rd day and have done it for 20 years :D

For years I've been using Magic hair remover. It used to be in a powder that you have to mix with water, but now it is available in a tube pre-mixed and ready to use. It is for black men for shaving and for their shaving their heads. Apparently traditional shaving causes all kinds of skin problems for black men so this was developed for them. I love this stuff! Spread it on and wait ten minutes and wash your pubic hair down the drain from the root. Leaves you smooth as a baby's ass. My wife loves the way I feel after using this. You only need to use it once a week when you shower and any regrowth does not have any stubble or itch just soft fuzz. Keep it off the head of your cock and start with only five minutes until you get used to it or it will irritate your skin. Don't use anything with alcohol on the area for a few days. I use pure aloe gel with no additives for a day or two, but when I first started using it I had to put on several times a day until my skin got used to it. The directions say apply and scrape off, but I just wash it off with plain water and then shower as usual and the hair comes out by the roots. No skin bumps and baby smooth, but it can irritate you if you leave it on too long. I have to go to a drug store in an area of town with a black population to find it. Sometimes it is with the shaving stuff, but most of the time it is with the hair care products for black people. Just ask a clerk for Magic shaving cream or hair remover. They make several formulations. I use the blue tube, but any of them should work fine. YOu can use it every three days and at first you may need to in order to get all of the hair out without irritating your skin, but I have found that I stay perfectly smooth and hairless by using it once a week regularly and I don't get skin irritation anymore. I have been with a man who had laser removal and I could not tell the difference between the two of us in looks or feel.

Now That is a great description! Thank you for all of the details. I do appreciate it.

I went shopping today. My Target had the Magic Shaving Cream. I looked for the Aloe Gel, but I could not find any without alcohol. What and where did you get it?
I am still trying and looking. I hope I can find something that works. Shaving is not good as I cut my scrotum and bleed like a chicken, or?? Plus, My scrotum is too loose to get a razor cutting hair only. Beside, I do not like hair!

I use a disposable razor on my nuts keeping the skin taut the whole time. No nicks at all.

Its hard to find pure aloe. Almost all of it has additives. Fortunately a little goes a long way so once you get a bottle it will last. I get it at one of the hippie health food places that has all organic bath products. When all else fails look on Amazon for 100% pure aloe with no additives.

See reply below. I have the same problem. I take aspirin and plavix so I bleed out all day from even a small cut and even electric razors cut me. You will love this stuff. No bleeding but it can be a little irritating until you get used to it over time. Use lots of aloe and after a few months of using it you may not even need it.
