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.
Huh I’ve thought about making one and putting it up on porn hub but figured someone already had.
I’ve been shaving for decades thought. I use a Harry’s razor (way cheaper than “premo” bs brands and works just as well) Don’t use shitty disposable razors.
Use a CREAM shaving cream like “Cremo” not the foam crap. In a pinch hair conditioner can work but it’s not good either.
If it’s your first time trim it as short as you can before shaving. But never use an electric trimmer near and loose skin.
Rinse the blades often build up means they aren’t working.
The more times you pass over the same patch of skin the more irritated it will get.
Do not rush.
It’s easiest in the shower.
The main way to cut youself will be pressing to hard on the blade. But the way that will always cut you is letting the blade slide sideways. To avoid this alway lift your blade off your skin once done with a stroke or if you have to stop a stroke.
Shave regularly. It’s easier to keep it up rather than redo it. I find every other day or every 3rd day works for me. If you put it off more than 5 days you’re in regrowth danger zone. It will get itchy and if you scratch it you will end up with a sort of rash from irritation. If that happens it’s probably the worst time to shave because your skin will be bumpy. If you do shave it will relieve the irritation but you need to be extra careful.
Also as much as you want to be smoooooth it ain’t going to happen. Petting with the grain will be smooth but full prickle removal is basically impossible. I can get mely nuts fairly smooth with much effort and practice but the pubic patch is a no go. Maybe it’s just me but the one time I did try to go against the grain in my pubic area it was smooth for a day and then irritated to hell and I ended up with bad ingrown hairs. Not worth it.
This part is main for males everything above applies to anyone I would assume.
Cold water = Shrinkage but can also make shaving easier for someone new. However because your sack is all scrunched up you’re much more likely to have a patchy shave.
Warm water = Loose skin. This can make shaving trickier but is easier to get all the areas.
Don’t be afraid to stretch that shit out like a paint canvas just make sure you have a firm grip before shaving a stroke.
Anyway hope this helps kinda just info dumped while laying in bed so might forgot something. feel free to ask questions.

Damn you wrote all that on a phone?
Yeah and not one bit of AI. I have yet to really set up lemmy on my desktop, maybe I’ll do that today, still trying to understand how it works as it’s a bit more effort compared to reddit.
You can always just load the page of your instance (lemmy.org) in a browser, sign in, done.
Some peoples ability to write fast and accurate really amazes me
…That’s not me. I have not looked over that but I’m sure there are some errors in there. I just spent more time than it would admit typing that all up.
There aren’t any errors that made you hard to understand, which is what matters.
These days, 90% of my writing is on a phone.
This guy shaves balls.
Sure do, love giving oral but hate hair in/near my mouth. Since I would request a partner shave for me I figured I would return the favor without being asked since I love receiving just as much.
Nice. I have now tagged you as sackshaver
HAH HAAAAA Dangly bits.
All good this was originally meant to be a NSFW account anyway.
Damn, that’s thorough! Thanks so much!!
Np, if I grow a pair maybe I’ll actually make a video. (Pun intended)
I would only add that if YMMV with Cremo try baby oil, also works as a moisturizer after as well.

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.
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)
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
Man-up and get it waxed.
But I’m just a lil guy…
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.
Making mistakes is part of the fun!
Googling ‘how to reattach testicle’ while crying
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.
Hot water / hot towel soaked in hot water helps
How would one use this?
It’s to warm your skin as is easier to get a closer shave with less effort and you won’t be trying to shave the same area multiple times which irritates the skin and increases the chance of cutting it. Also shrink factor is eliminated allowing you to stretch a smoother canvas to work with.
Thanks!
For what it’s worth, I prefer a hairy guy.
That’s fine. But in my experience, most of my partners prefer not to get my pubes up their nose and between their teeth
Are they eating them? I’m not really sure how that’s happening.
You know what? Forget I asked.
Adults have hair. This whole shave yer junk crap is so u can feel like one of the billionaires diddling kids. If ur hairs are that long just trim them no need to go hairless 🤢
Trimming is the way
There are actual shavers made for this, skin close shave without any chance of knicking the bits. Done in like 5 minutes. Mine has a foil in the middle and two tiny teeth shavers on each side to trim the long stuff.
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.
This is something I wish I could do since the tactile results are so much better.
Sadly as a person with sensitive skin and also the dreaded ingrown hair issue I can confidently that if you are like me this is an awful idea.
Shaving will normally not give you ingrown hairs so long as you shave WITH the grain.
I only have myself as a sample size so I don’t know how reliable this info is but if you’re unsure of you get ingrowns try shaving your normal areas against the grain and see if you get any. I have shaved my face and even head once before and it didn’t seem to matter where I did it the issue was persistent.
Yeah, personally I can probably just about dry shave against the grain with a piece of broken glass and splash on some acetone as aftershave and be none the worse for it, not too much in this world irritates my skin.
I figured it was worth mentioning it because I know it’s a concern for some people, but I’ve never had an issue with it personally with shaving or waxing.
…My envy knows no bounds.
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.
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
I’m tempted by the hair remover… thanks!
DO NOT LEAVE NAIR ON FOR LONGER THAN THE DIRECTIONS SAY
This sounds like the voice of painful, painful experience.
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.
Trim the hair first, then use cream, for best results.
