Feddit.frWhere can i find a good video tutorial on shaving my junk?
submitted by
Title. Obviously youtube is out. Google results have been unhelpful. I tried Pornhub, but no dice. I wanna learn how to shave my twig and berries nice and smooth, because I’m a considerate partner - but I’m tired of trial and error and nicking myself on the nuts.

Making mistakes is part of the fun!
Googling ‘how to reattach testicle’ while crying
My advice, is go to an hair removal place. Pay extra to take care of yourself, because avoiding those cuts early is worth it.
Unless you have a friend who doesn’t mind getting up close and personal with your boys.
Use Gillette fusion in the shower. That’s all I do and haven’t nicked myself once.
Yep any decent trimmer will do, no need to overcomplicate things like the top comment does
Safety razor, short strokes, gently, with the grain
Cutting against the grain results in a more tender steak.
And more ingrown hairs probably
Based on how much I cut myself with a safety razor on the face when I tried using one (for quite a while, actually), I don’t know if this is the path for me.
Personally, I find it much easier down under, because the hair is a lot thinner…
Your hair is thinner down there?!?
Ah, I meant that as in the individual hair have less circumference and therefore are easier to cut through.
Congrats on your soft, velvety pubes. Mine are coarse enough to use as a scrub brush.
All I can say is my hair down there is the thickest of anywhere on my body, both in terms of individual hair diameter and in terms of hair follicle density per area.
Get waxed, I’ve been doing it for a couple years now, worth it.
Hurts a bit when they pull it off, but not nearly as bad as you imagine, and it only hurts for an instant, not like it’s a pain that’s gonna linger around with you.
Smoother and longer-lasting than you could ever hope to manage with a razor, and no risk of cutting yourself
Depending on your skin, maybe you could have some issues with ingrown hairs, but I’m pretty sure if you’re prone to that you’re probably gonna have those issues shaving too.
My only complaint is the price, the place I’ve been going charges about $75 (+tip) for their “basic” service, which is just shaft and sack. I’m personally a really hairy dude and I feel like it would look weird for me to go beyond that and have bald patches on my crotch and ass crack, and I’m certainly not gonna spend the time and money for a full body waxing.
The full, most premium package to get all of you junk and butt waxed with all the extra goes up to something like $150 (+tip), and there’s a few options in-between so that you have a sense of the price range.
Which I do think is a pretty fair price for the service, but it’s also certainly not cheap. Personally I kind of justify it because I’ve known people who spend that much or more or haircuts about as often as I get it done, and i shave my head myself with a safety razor, so my haircut expenses are basically 0, so just kind of trading one grooming expense for another.
I usually go about a month and a half between waxings, first week or two there’s no noticeable hair regrowth, and by the 6th week I usually have about the required ¼ inch or so for waxing. Takes about a half hour for what I get done.
In some places it can be hard to find places that do it for dudes, and not all employees are trained or willing to do male waxing, so don’t ruin it for the rest of us, wash your ass and junk and don’t be a creep.
Def something I’ve considered, but the cost isn’t ideal, and I feel like the pain would be otherworldly…
The pain really isn’t that bad
And at least for me, the worst parts of it are more on my sort of FUPA area, not so much on my dick and balls themselves, so for the service I get, it’s only like 3 patches around the edges that actually hurt. Might suck more if you’re planning to get more than that done, but I can’t really comment on that myself.
And again. It’s only for an instant with each rip and then it’s over, by the time you’ve flinched it’s already stopped hurting.
I use a foil-style electric. No cuts and no irritation. Do NOT use a rotary-style electric. You don’t want a lift and cut system tugging on your short and curlies. If I use a regular 5 blade manual razor, even if I don’t cut myself, I get irritation and itchiness for days after.
Yeah, my foil style electric is what I have been using, and I constantly nick myself, or else it leaves little tiny blood spots.
Get some Nair. Just rub it on all the places with hair, avoid the tip. Wait 10 minutes, then rub the hair off with a wash cloth in the shower. Way smoother of a shave than I’ve ever gotten with a razor, and soooo much easier and more comfortable to do.
I second this. Unless you are allergic to the compounds, this is the best way. The hair will not come back sharp, but smooth and thin. And you don’t have to repeat it for a couple of weeks.
Norelco makes a body shaver that is pretty great. The Body Groomer. It’s a little pricey but it works well.
Oh man, will def need to check it out. Thanks!
Electric shavers in general tend to leave the cut ends of hairs less sharp and thus more comfortable and less likely to ingrow. I used a razor once and will never use one again.
Shave top-down for pubes, sides, and front of sack (slowly), then shave your taint from crack to balls while holding your sack upwards, creating a longer runway.
If you want cleaner results:
-No Hair Crew Intimate, for balls and crack
-No Hair Crew Body, for everything else
-Nair for Men, If the above is not strong enough for your body hair
YMMV
DO NOT LEAVE NAIR ON FOR LONGER THAN THE DIRECTIONS SAY
This sounds like the voice of painful, painful experience.
I’ve never used Nair on my junk, but IME it doesn’t do shit to my leg hair unless I leave it on at least twice as long as it says. In other words, if you have thick hair you probably should use something else.
Trim the hair first, then use cream, for best results.
Also do a small test patch somewhere on your skin and wait for at least a day. Shitty way to find you’re getting a reaction if you already spread it to larger areas
I’m tempted by the hair remover… thanks!
Last time I used Nair was over a decade ago and it was impressively, dreadfully smelly. Like burning hair, but more chemically. Just be prepared.
Hot shower
Get it warm and loosened up first
Gillette mach 3
Shave toward the tip (so, shave down from above, shave up from below, etc)
Just go slow and pay attention, if you’re really nervous trim first then use a chemical hair remover just try it on a spot first as some can be sensitive or allergic to it
But for the love of God, don’t try it on your junk first. Try it pretty much anywhere else, like on your thigh or something. Oh my god, just not on your junk, please!
Yeah, try it on someone else’s junk.
You actually should spot test it on your junk, because the skin is more sensitive than other areas.
Sure, but AFTER you confirm it doesn’t cause chemical burns elsewhere.
Fair enough
Just speaking from experience and compassionate concern. Hahahah
Get on Grindr, I’m sure a gay guy would offer to wax you for free. You do get random offers
Legit suggestion, but I don’t think I’d take it. I’m terrible about setting boundaries with gay guys because I don’t want them to feel bad that I’m not attracted to them.
Same. I’m still trying to work up the courage to tell my husband that I’m not gay. I’m hoping to do it before our 10 year anniversary…
You don’t have to fancy them for a service, Some are happy to do so. They are not asking for you to bend over yet
Shit, some might even pay you to do it.
If you’re going for smooth just use Veet (hair removal cream) instead. Make sure you get the SENSITIVE kind though.
If you’re really hairy trim first - leave about 1cm length.
Wash thorough and moisturise after. Smooth as a baby in 15 mins.
Thanks for the rec!
Never done it. Actually tempted out of curiosity, but just feels like another additional task. Married with kids, so it’s not like I’m out there trying to win the Best Groomed Junk game. I’m curious though, is natural (but clean) junk a deal breaker for some of you? It was never a factor in my dating game, but then I’m old AF.
Partners I’ve had in the past have been fine with just trimmed, but have been put off by full bush when giving BJs. Unless you have some kind of kink about it, most people don’t find hair in the mouth enjoyable.
PIV -> bush fine
Normal BJ -> trimmed fine
Really going to town on the balls and shaft -> clean shaven preferred
And personally, I don’t enjoy the sight or feel of hair on my partners’ junk - clean shaved is definitely ideal for me personally. If they’re just trimmed, that’s okay - it makes it a little less sexy for me, but whatever. But if a partner just started never shaving at all, I would bring it up as a polite request, and then possibly stop getting physical with them. So since I have these preferences, I figure it is reasonable for me to put the effort in to match theirs
I don’t think it can be taught. At least not on a video. You just do it at it’ll get easier over time. I’ve been doing it for about 20 years and I went from “this is impossible” to “what even was hard about this” in just a year or so.
You have to find a routine that works for your skin and hair growth pattern. It’s a bunch of trial and error until something finally works.
A few tips. No scissors or electric shavers. Pull areas to be tight and flat. Go slow at first. Use a razor you’ve used a couple times so it’s not at it’s sharpest, it’ll still get the job done but be less likely to cause major cuts.
Also general advice, if your partner doesn’t fully appreciate the results or effort then stop trying. I’ve never gotten criticized about a “full bush” or specifically complemented on a “smooth finish” so I stopped trying. Not worth the hassle if your partner thinks you’re already sexy. More sit-ups or push ups might be more appreciated.
Thanks!
As for my partner’s appreciation - I pretty frequently seek out new partners, so I like to make a good first impression. So even if a current partner doesn’t mind, I want to be able to be ready to make that good first impression whenever the opportunity presents itself.
And yeah, lol, I actually did a core + push up + OHP workout yesterday. Goal is press BW and dead 2x BW! Mirror check today showed some okay ab and oblique pop despite being more than 5lbs over my goal weight
Why not electric shavers? I used a razor once, but in 1 or 2 days the hairs became terribly itchy, sharp and uncomfortable.
Probably not the norm but I’ve gotten pinched by an electric once. Using a razor I might get some nicks but I often don’t even notice it happened until a few seconds later.
I get one or two nicks/pinches per shave on my electric shaver, but for me its worth it because the resulting shave is smoother/softer, I don’t need lubricants or shaving creams, and the chances of getting ingrown hairs is pretty much zero
Foil shavers work perfectly fine. I use a Panasonic arc 5 for it daily.
Years ago I saw a suggestion to use women’s razors, which makes sense, tried a partner’s and have never gone back.
That’s odd. My gf got sick of women’s razors and started using men’s razors for shaving.
good tip!
What’s the difference?
I’m sure men’s razors have probably improved over time for this use-case, but I find good women’s blades to be more gentle on the sensitive skin and I feel like it’s a closer, smoother shave with no razor burn or bumps even if used with minimal shaving creme. I theorize that women’s razors are designed specifically for body shaving, and for example, legs are a large amount of real estate to keep shaved; where traditionally men’s razors were only “designed” for the face.
I also found a silicone “stropper” somewhere a decade ago to use with disposable blades, which I quickly use just before, that extends their life quite substantially.
There are actual shavers made for this, skin close shave without any chance of knicking the bits. Done in like 5 minutes. Mine has a foil in the middle and two tiny teeth shavers on each side to trim the long stuff.
Hot water / hot towel soaked in hot water helps
How would one use this?
It’s to warm your skin as is easier to get a closer shave with less effort and you won’t be trying to shave the same area multiple times which irritates the skin and increases the chance of cutting it. Also shrink factor is eliminated allowing you to stretch a smoother canvas to work with.
Thanks!
Patience and practice. I prefer an electric shaver vs manual razors; but that’s up to personal preference.
Hair removal cream for most areas. Cheeks, base and pube line. If not looking for a wax looking. Shave the hairy bits with a electric razor and then in the shower smooth off with a razor. Always use a 5 blade razor, I found it nicked less and was quicker. If it’s been a while and a jungle, best bet book a waxer and just get over it. I’m nd and hate anything up close or touchy touchy but it’s like ripping off those really sticky plaster. Small pain and then she’s waxing the next part. I’ve had head to toe. You will be grateful after
YouTube has (had?) waxing tutorials for men and women, uncensored, shmeckel and knish and all. The whole nine inches yo.
Really? Not too long ago I got hit with a sign in wall just trying to listen to Colt 45. I thought they removed all nsfw content pretty aggressively
A gun sound? Lmao wtf YouTube.
No, like, the song
Sounds like a short song.
Man-up and get it waxed.
But I’m just a lil guy…
Does your partner want this? Every partner I’ve ever had thought he was doing me a favor by becoming hairless in some way, shaving his chest or manscaping all the way down to the skin and I hate it! Keeping things tidy is one thing, shaving down to the skin is another. So unless your partner has expressed a desire for you to do this, ask them first! If you already know this is something they want from you, well good on you for trying to do it the best way possible
I pretty consistently have new partners, so I can’t say. Really my main concern is going from bush to shaved or trimmed quickly and easily without cutting myself.
For what it’s worth, I prefer a hairy guy.
That’s fine. But in my experience, most of my partners prefer not to get my pubes up their nose and between their teeth
Are they eating them? I’m not really sure how that’s happening.
You know what? Forget I asked.
Adults have hair. This whole shave yer junk crap is so u can feel like one of the billionaires diddling kids. If ur hairs are that long just trim them no need to go hairless 🤢
No one can really answer this for you because everyone’s skin and hair growth pattern are different. You have to try stuff until you find something that works.
For me, the process is this:
After showering I use a dermaplaner that takes half of a safety razor blade to scrape my pubic (not my scrotum) area against the grain. The blade edge is almost perpendicular to the surface of the skin. This exfoliates the skin, lifts up any hairs that might be starting to get ingrown, and most importantly makes my skin very dry.
I then use a Panasonic arc 5 to shave everything. Doesn’t take very long if I do it once a day. I’m waiting for the Arc 3 to go on sale, because the head on the 5 is just too big for the area. My skin basically needs to be ashy for it to glide smoothly (wet shaving with it didn’t get a close shave)
Back to the dermaplaner to first shave with the grain at a 45° angle to smooth things out, then against the grain with the blade perpendicular again to lift the end of the hairs a bit.
Spray it with an ingrown hair alcohol spray meant for waxing.
Apply unrefined shae butter to the skin to moisturize and protect the skin.
I shave in the evenings, so in the mornings I repeat steps 1 and 5. I used to throw step 4 in too, but it didn’t help enough to justify the cost of twice a day.
The important thing to remember about foil shavers is that your hair and skin have to adapt to them, so things might be uncomfortable for the first few weeks. But if you do it every day and your skin gets used to it, the whole process takes less time than shaving my face does.
I’ve also had good results with an epilator, but you need some serious pain tolerance, and you have to be careful your scrotum doesn’t get caught in it. It’s happened a few times to me, but it never caused any damage because the motor stalls as soon as it grabs it.
You could likely find something on the educational site pornhub.
Trial and error was the preferred way prior to the internet. Just watch what your doing and be careful.
Why are people talking about partners when this is a own body choice? This is creepy.
Because I don’t really care if I’m shaved or not and I’m willing to put some effort in so my partners will have a better experience?
Well, you did it for your partners experience, but it didn’t need to be. As the choice is yours.
Some people were saying they like it hairy and that you should think about your partner before shaving. I don’t think that’s right.
I said in OP that I’m doing this for my partners benefit. It is reasonable for people to tell me that I should ask my partners their preference if I am doing it for their benefit. Even if I didn’t say that, it is a reasonable suggestion to make, as most people care about their partner’s experience as well as their own.
This really seems like some kind of ethical issue for you, and imo, if you really care that much, you should do some reflection on why it is such a big deal for you, since no one else here gives a shit
