Re: anyone shave here??

i freely admit to trimming the pubic area and shaving the hollocks,

i try to look at it from a womans perspective, because damn sure i dont like the sight of the "hairy bush from hell", scary movie material!

sorry do this by scissors and fusion razor!

Re: anyone shave here??

I think it would be very considerate to of you to shave. Wet razer, bath, and lots of moisturiser afterwards to avoid nasty rashes

Re: anyone shave here??

usually go for the overall body trim with the Wahl, is certainly appreciated, and keeps you cool, esp over summer

Re: anyone shave here??

Shaved my legs and chest for an ex, and was terrible, got a really bad rash, felt sticky all the time and when it grew back it was rate painful, I'd say don't bother.

Re: anyone shave here??

A hell of a lot more men shave their bits and bobs than many realise, especially older folk. It is now very common for men in their 20's to shave their balls and some also do their some or all of their pubic area. It's just following trend really, i'd say nearly all women in their 20's will shave/wax some part of their bits, especially their undercarriage!

As for having the sack/back/crack wax, can you imagine how painful this would be and where do you get this done anyway!? Why not get your back waxed and use a good razor on the rest...

Re: anyone shave here??

well i trim my lower region with a remington shaver thing..... its a must, cant be doing with all that hair

i have been considering using removal cream on the whole area but a bit scared that it looks a bit creepy and my girlfriend doesnt like it. i have asked but i never get a yes or no!

i remember before a night out i trimmed with a pair or scissors and cut right into my sack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the cruch noise was terrible, the pain was unbeleivable and the blood was pouring out!!!!!!!!!! i was left with a perfect 'V' shape cut!

lesson: do not use scissors when trimming bolloch hair.... alway use a shaver with the guard on!!!

Well at least you've learnt that it probably isn't a good idea to borrow someone else's clippers

Re: anyone shave here??

DO NOT shave you nether regions, especially the rear area, a mate did this and found out that hair is there for a reason.

downside 1. If you shave ur rear, you'll find it'll sweat profusely and you'll be heading to the toilet every 5 minutes to soak it up.

downside 2. It's going to grow back thicker and stronger, and itchier every time you do it, you may end up in a horrid cycle.

downside 3. It'd be pretty nail biting shaving your areas downstairs anyway, especially the sack

Exactly, it'd be horrible, and everyone would think you have a permanent diahorrea problem, and when they'd ask youd have to consider telling them that your ass sweats about 10 litres a day, or a lie about haveing the runs, both very embaressing lol

Re: anyone shave here??

Men who shave like this are just women in mens bodies!! I mean, a man who shaves his ass/privates etc, thats just wrong and every (so called) male that does this needs electro shock therapy, bunch of flippin women!!

suppose they are the ones that carry around a manbag too!!!

There's nothing wrong with taking pride in your appearance, and trimming where required.
