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
Just speaking from experience and compassionate concern. Hahahah
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.
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.
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.
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.
You could likely find something on the educational site pornhub.
