I didn't know where else to ask rule

How do you shave your balls? Every time I’ve tried with my trimmer it pinches and tears my sack and I’m too traumatized to try it again unless there’s a full proof bloodless method. Usually I just pluck as many as I can tolerate while I’m sitting around watching YouTube or somethin. But it’s such a pain (literally). Pic unrelated

AngryCommieKender,

I’ve shaved my balls for decades at this point. Take a good hot shower for at least 10 minutes, or even better soak in a hot tub for 30-60 minutes. This softens the hair. Shampoo is the best shaving cream as it doesn’t dull the razor blades as much as actual shaving cream. I pull the skin tight and go one pass with the grain, and one pass against. As others have said, that is delicate skin, and it cuts easily, so be careful. Personally I have yet to get better results with any of the various razors I’ve tried, so I just stick with my Mach 3

morphballganon,

You shouldn’t need to shave in multiple directions… Each bit of skin has 1 ideal direction to shave it, unless your hair grows in a spiral or something.

AngryCommieKender, (edited )

I won’t downvote you, but if you are only shaving in one direction, you either aren’t getting totally smooth, or you are needlessly torturing yourself by only shaving against the grain of your hair.

From experience, your beard, or any other patch of body hair, can literally grow in multiple different directions in the same patch. Regardless, the only way you can get baby smooth is to shave against the grain, which I really don’t recommend as your first pass, unless you shave literally every day, and for some guys it would be twice a day.

I can’t shave more frequently than once every 2 days. The USN literally gave me a “shaving chit” for that in boot.

morphballganon,

I shave with, not against. Shaving against causes irritation.

You changed the subject to beards. This thread is about pubic hair.

AngryCommieKender,

I told you my routine with my balls, not my beard. I shave 4 to 8 ways on my face.

markpaskal,

I use a depilatory that is designed for intimate areas. Cream goes on, sits for 5 mins, then the hair wipes off.

morphballganon, (edited )

Could you give more information on this please? I’ve used Nair but it sounds like you found a better option?

markpaskal, (edited )

I use this stuff. link

You could also try this stuff if you can’t find the men’s version. link

Whatever you order you are looking for something that says bikini or intimate.

Apply everywhere but balls first and then apply to balls. Wipe off in the order you applied after waiting however long. Rinse REALLY WELL with water but don’t use any soap. Soothing lotion optional afterward, I don’t need it.

Keep it off the anus itself if doing your butt crack or you’re going to have a burning sensation.

potatobro,

I did it ^.^ (NSFW)

Thank y’all I feel so cute now!!

doona,

why doesn’t my bussy look this good :/

weeeeum,

I’ve done them with a straight razor and it all comes down to technique and sharp blades. Sharp blades are most likely to cut hair than skin on a flat surface. Make sure to either use a new blade or strop your SR

Firstly cook your nuts, really steam your boys. You want them very warm and relaxed so you can gently pinch, stretch and wrap the loose skin around your finger. At that point it becomes much more accessible. I recommend doing this sitting. If using a straight razor use a steep, less aggressive angle.

For weed wacking around a post, pull it tight and if its too slippery, use a single slip of toilet paper to hold on. Once everything is in tension you may tread carefully with your razor(s). You may need to pull it in many directions to reach every spot.

That will get 50-70% of hair. For the rest I recommend squatting over a mirror. Again, make sure to pull everything in tension before hand and get everything very hot and steamy. Pubes are like spaghetti, they’re softer when cooked.

Aggravationstation,

Indeed “really steam your boys” is what I needed to hear today.

SeekPie,

Babe wake up, new copypasta just dropped.

Lennard,

I don’t have that much experience, but your trimmer shouldn’t pinch. Troubleshooting possibilities:

  • Oil trimmer blades
  • Get new trimmer blades
  • Get a new trimmer
morphballganon,

Or

  • Don’t use a trimmer on your balls

Word of warning, DO NOT use regular Nair down there unless you are fine with potential chemical burns on your nuts for a week. It’s not fun, really really not fun. I’m not even sure I would use sensitive area Nair anymore, it just doesn’t seem designed for coarse pubic hair. I use a Philips Oneblade now with the body groom attachment, I’ve caught the skin once or twice but I’ve found it’s way better than any other electric razor I’ve tried in the past and does a good job. The gap inbetween the blade and stationary bit of the razor is smaller and harder to pinch your skin in.

morphballganon,

Just gotta wash it off thoroughly after 5 minutes

do not do this with your balls

Hikermick,

No pain no gain

morphballganon,

I’ve done it. The issue is if you leave it on. Don’t.

Wash the area thoroughly 5 minutes after putting it on.

morphballganon,

I use a Gillette Mach 3 and always shave toward the tip, no matter whether you are above, below, beside the shaft, below the balls, on the balls etc. I find doing it in a hot shower is sufficient and gel/cream isn’t necessary with this method, though I have some Gillette Hydro gel I like. I just find it too time-consuming to bother.

childOfMagenta,

Double edge safety razor. Edwin Jagger DE8x is a good choice as not aggressive (the x doesn’t matter, it’s the design of the handle). For the blades, I use feathers, but it doesn’t really matter.

No need to press. Just glide softly on the stretched soaped surface, in no specific direction, while lifting your dick with the other wrist and holding the balls with the other hand. For the shaft, don’t go against the grain. You’ll nick yourself (no big deal).

Also I typically reserve the brand new blades for my face, maybe it helps.

Junkhead,

grab and handful of hair and rip them out of your ballsack 👍

Lemongrab,

fuck u, that hurt. I shouldn’t have listened to you

Jano,

Hand size may vary.

Lemongrab,

I didnt think that my balls would just detach like crayfish arms. fucked up.

Jimmyeatsausage,

You used the wrong hand dude…try again with the other…it should work.

Lemongrab,

    My apologies, didn’t know, new to the Fediverse. :-(

    moshtradamus666,

    I have created the perfect cicle, I use the same razor but I have separate blades, one for my face and on for genitals. New blades are dangerous for the balls so whenever I change my face blade, the used one becomes my new balls razor. It works pretty good. Trimmer on the balls is a dangerous game unless you buy one of those machines that are actually made for that.

    This is The Way

    sukhmel,

    I second using the safe razor, albeit I would recommend using different ones for face and balls. The reason is that I assume that an ideal and universal razor may not exist, the ones I tried are usually either better suited for the body, or more comfortable to apply to the face, that is if we exclude those that are equally bad for everything.

    Regarding the dulling of the blade, it may greatly depend on the brand and quality, so some experiments are required ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    retrieval4558,

    In case you arent- never use an electric razor on your balls without a guard. And even then, I don’t try to get it too close to the skin, just to shorten the hairs a lot.

    Then if I want to go further, shaving cream and a safety razor is the way to go. Just try to smooth out the scrotum with your other hand to make it as flat a surface as possible.

    Leviathan,

    Double edge razor, I haven’t nicked myself yet. I definitely tore some skin with an electric razor though.
