Shaving Shaft

[RIB2211]

So I've got a good amount of hair growing up on my shaft and I'd like to get rid of it. Many of you talk about using a fine razor...what kind of razor is recommended, or what is the best way to get rid of this crap?

Fine razor , YIKES! I used an electric shaver every 3-4 weeks with about 60% erection, that way it's a little easier to get underneath and close to the balls.

i use a mustache trimming pair of scissors to trim it all down pretty low and shave my balls and shaft with a gillette fusion blade. works just fine. doesnt even have to be a fresh blade. instead of shaving cream i use dove extra sinsitive skin body wash and then i use that after i shave also (i shave it in the shower every 1-2 mornings). then at night i apply moisturizing lotion with vitamin e to help keep it moisturized and not dry. when i first startded shaving it it would get irritated some, but after a few times it just got used to it and is fine now.
thats what i do and it stays nice and smooth

Yea I just shave it the same way I shave my face. Regular razor

 

[RIB2211]

Yup, I just used my Gillette Fusion razor. I did go out just now and buy some pre-shave oil and some shaving cream designed to reduce razor burn/bumps. The pre-shave oil made the razor glide like it was going through butter...

I'll post tomorrow and let you all know if I get any bumps or stuff. Thanks!

A tip is to buy a loofah sponge, and use it as an exfoliator every time you shower.

Try using conditioner as your shaving cream and then a Fushion or similar blade.
I will have to try the loofah idea. That is a new one on me.

Ditto everything you said. I use a Fusion razor and it works great.

I shave my shaft and balls with a Gillette razor and normal shaving gel. Never had any accidents...which is more than can be said for when I shave my face!

I trim the rest with a beard trimmer.

Be careful with using conditioners anywhere near the genitals. Some conditioners can actually cause chemical burns to the penis. I had a client who used "Alberto VO5" conditioner for lube, and the results were intense stinging and peeling skin that took over 1 week to completely heal.

Do not use a razor on your penis, unless you're a skillful surgeon, lulz. That is all.

So far, I've shaved my shaft three times. No problems

 

[hardcore]

a mack 3 and shaving gel or foam

 

[nathanborder]

I've been shaving my penis and balls since I started growing pubic hair... never liked it on my balls or my shaft.

I've always used just a regular razor generally a gillette. Most recently I've used a RollingRazor. Oh and I always shave with just warm water... no creams, gels, or oils.

Hope that help.

I have tried all sorts of things when shaving my nether regions (shaving cream of various brands, shaving gel, conditioner, etc.) and finally settled on plain old bar soap as the best thing. I get less irritation using it than I do from all the fancy products that advertise that they reduce razor burn or bumps. I prefer one of the moisturizing bar soaps (like Dove) but often use Ivory too. Whatever is at hand. Another advantage is that having bar soap in the shower requires no explanation if you are trying to keep a low profile on your shaving habits!

You all may not believe me, but I've been waxing my shaft for a couple years now. Yes, it hurts like hell, but I do believe it makes me a tougher person and my technique has improved a lot. I do it with the 'cooling' wax, not with the strips etc...It usually takes about 12 rips or so to complete. The best part is, it grows in thinner next time! I do it like every 2 months and try not to wait too long otherwise it huuurts.

The problem with shaving for me is the 'itchiness'. I found myself scratching my junk too much. Also, my girl complained that it was irritating her down there when it starting to grow back.

 

[Pirate]

pe_ZEN, I have been thinking about trying that. Could you be more specific about what brand(s) and product(s) you use, please?

 

[RIB2211]

I'd love to hear that info too pe_ZEN. After you wax, how long does it take for any hair to grow back?

 

[Wempur]

pe_ZEN, you are a crazy person, hahaha. I can't believe you tried it down there. But seriously share more information about that approach!

@RIB2211, I guess it will start growing in a week or so but spread fully in a month and a half or so.

How so nobody suggested a depilatory cream? You put it on wait for 10-15 mins and then take it away with all the hair down there. Still to try it on myself but a friend is using it without complains. Anybody else to share experience with it?

I have been using a Phillips Norelco Body Groomer for about 6 months. It is a battery powered electric shaver designed specifically for this area and can be used in the shower. It does not require you to be gentle or careful and does a nice smooth job

I also recently tried Magic Razorless Shave Cream which I bought at Walmart for $2.59. I have only used it twice, but it also was easy to use and worked well. It is primarily used to maintain a bald head.
