My shaving experience.

Yesterday afternoon, I decided to go on a whim and shave my entire body. As of now, everything from the neck down has been removed by a mach 3 and a whole lot of patience.

I totally regret this.

Here’s why: Day 2 and I’m already feeling the stubble growing in. I know it won’t last forever so that at least offers some sort of serenity to my shaving experience.

However, I will add that I feel completely satisfied with having gathered up enough courage to shave my balls during this extravaganza. Never once in the past did I think I would take a blade to my balls, and to be honest, they feel great!

Just be very very very careful and take your time when doing this yourself. Make sure you also use a brand new blade. Before shaving my entire body, I contemplated the purchase of a Seiko clean cut shaver. But the thing is, after doing some much awaited research, it seems that waxing is the best option. I know it’ll hurt like hell, but the end justifies the means.

For those of you who have shaved your body before, how long did it take before the stubble and irritation went away?

It’ll stop hurting in a day or two but the redness and a bit of irritating will persist longer. You can get mini-pimples from in grown hairs too, that sucks.

The first time you do it is the worst. It gets better as your body gets used to it. When you say everything, you means torso, arms and legs, or just torso?

For your crotch area, I like using a medicated powder like Gold Bond, but I use the Wal Mart generic that is a lot cheaper. The powder will help a lot where ever you need relief.

I’ve pretty much given up on shaving my whole body for reasons of itching and red spots and whatnot. Even after several months of repeated application (like, twice a week) it didn’t get much better. Shaft and scrotum are the only bare spots on this not-yet-old Wally carcass.

That said, I trim my body hair with a hair cutter so it doesn’t look all jungle-style. This includes the legs, the ass, the belly, the chest and the armpits.

Sir, shaving the man’s sensible parts is the natural duty of every girlfirend/wife (at least from time to time. ;) )!

Shaving crack sack and back is so 2008. You need hair removal cream for these areas. I have tried a razor near the testicles but I always nick myself and are never satisfied with the results. And it is near impossible to shave my exit hole properly having tried it and nearly getting a slipped disk and bad back. Hair removal cream does an excellent job and it is so smooth afterwards.

If you’re intent on smooth skin, there’s nothing better than tweezing or an epilator. As an added bonus, you’ll learn pain-management strategies to thwart any interrogator’s techniques, no matter how savage.
Shaving WILL give you ingrown hairs, which can look like an STD and may scar.

Or you could just trim, so much easier.

When it comes to shaving downstairs, I favour wet-shaving the shaft/pube area in the shower and tackling the balls afterward with a quick dry shave, as my ballsac hair is sparse and thin. This takes the danger of nicks and cuts out of the equation as I’m not pressing down too hard.

Any strays I may have missed can bew tweezed away and I’m good to go for 2 weeks.

I agree on the tweezing. It doesn’t really hurt and it leaves you smooth and stubble free.

I only tweeze shaft hair, I keep pubes trimmed but still “natural looking”. I don’t tweeze all at once, maybe 10 hairs at one sitting. By the end of the day it is all done.

The best thing to shave the body is with clippers with no guard. It never gets too close, so you don’t have to deal with in-growns and irritation.

It’s funny though after reading my message again this morning, I wonder how many women would read that post and think “Damn, what a pussy!” haha

Hell, here they are shaving and waxing all the time. Why is it that when a man does it he turns into a little girl? Lol

Nah just kidding. Thanks for the input and suggestions fellas.

Hair removal cream?

Never heard of it, can you link it?

Wouldn’t it be toxic?

I shave everything from my head down to my legs. You get used to it.

I just prefer no hair.

Only shave my pubes until the last hair, but I tried electric razor and scissors only. Not brave enough to try a blade.

I waxed all my pubes a couple months ago, for the first time. Never again, too many ingrowns. Hurt like fuck also, it took me 3 days to get it all off. I used to pluck the shaft and shave the boys, now I just shave those, and trim the pubes. That plucking shit hurts, and no matter what it seems like I was always doing it. Now it looks like the follicles on my shaft are starting to get destroyed from Hanging! That would be cool. I never shaved my whole body though, I’m getting all itchy just thinking bout it! I was into doing my forearms for awhile though.

One can definitely nick on the sack if your careful in the shower.. I’ve done it. However, in general it’s more like a papercut than a life threatening gusher and loss of juice. Mainly annoying although I’m sure one could do more damage. Just be careful. I’ve found a beard trimmer to be the best on the bush, then a bit on the sac. After the trim, use the razor and don’t press hard at all and try to stretch the skin a bit for a firmer, flatter surface! Hope it works out guys!
