Nightowl Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I like my boys to be smooth but am weary of the nicks and cuts from a razor. Any recommendations on an electric shaver that does the job well? Manscaped Lawnmower? Something else? The boys thank you for the recommendations. (For those who tend to respond with links to previous discussions: please don’t unless the discussion is recent)
mtaabq Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I know you said you were looking for an appliance. And I don’t know where you are geographically. BUT there is a great guy in Palm Springs if you were looking to have someone shave your balls for you. I haven’t been to PS in a few years but I’d have him shave mine every time I visited. If that’s an option let me know. 😀

jeezifonly Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) I use Mach III by Gillette, dry. The key is applying NO pressure. Do not use finger to add pressure, which can work fine on face with cream or gel. The razor has enough weight when held at the very end of the handle with forefinger and thumb, and I merely guide it - multiple passes, every direction, no pressure applied. Listen carefully to hear the snap of the hairs being cut, and check with free hand for other directions of hair growth on the spot. Works on shaft hairs and taint. Rarely do I draw blood (usually when my mind wanders and I go too fast) and there's no irritation following. I always follow with a Witch Hazel towelette.

+ PhileasFogg Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) Decades ago, my wife and I spent a fortune with laser and electrolysis. My balls are clear and bush is reduced and much softer (she erased EVERYthing shoulders down!). I’ve tried the new razors on other parts but they just don’t live me unscathed Edited January 23 by PhileasFogg Nightowl 1
+ Pensant Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) Sugaring works very well. Sugar Plum, with locations throughout the Seattle area, is superb.

Serving Western Washington... If I’m doing it myself, I always shave in the shower with shaving cream and a Lady Gillette. I’ve never even suffered a knick. Edited January 23 by Pensant

MikeBiDude Posted January 23 Posted January 23 A provider recommended this, he uses it on himself. I’m happy with the results: Nightowl, jeezifonly and Loseer2 2 1
+ Act25 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I've had good luck with the Gillette Body Razor. I use it in the shower with everything soaped up and slick. If it's been a while it will take a few passes to get to smooth. Never had a nick. Nightowl 1
+ azdr0710 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) with wrinkles and all, I just can't seem to avoid little bloody nicks when I try it myself.....for years, I've gone to a local independent waxer (home) and the results last for weeks......he says I'm, by far, the loudest cusser and screamer......

Love the results. Just allow a day of airing out before opening the snack bar. 🥗 Nightowl and MikeBiDude 1 1
