How To Shave Your Balls

Getting That Porn Star Shine!

Men! Don’t use wax!

Do I need to say that again? The scrotum was designed with elasticity so that it can adjust itself to a lower temperature than your core temperature, this maximizes your reproduction possibility. The thinness of the skin combined with the elasticity will first cause the wax to irritate the skin beyond your comprehension, and then it will keep you from being able to get the wax off. When you pull, your scrotum stretches…. and follows the direction it is being pulled in.

Let’s Get Started!

If you have not trimmed your balls (or pubic area) yet, you should start with a pair of scissors and trim it down as close as you can.

Why?

Even if you are going to be using an electric razor like the BG-2040, trimming first makes it much easier to finish. I have tried to just go to town with my BG-2040 and the trimmed pubic hair just clumps up in the razor attachment causing me to have to clean it more during the shaving process.

Granted if you are doing this on a regular basis this part can be skipped, but I’m assuming that you are reading this and you are currently not shaving. You might even be at the point where it looks like you have a hamster sleeping on top of your cock.

Leaving a Little?

If you are not going down to the skin you will not need to use any form of shaving cream or lubrication.

Disposable or Electric?

This is going to be as personal as your facial grooming. If you have never shaved your balls, or you have a forest, start by using scissors or a pair of clippers to shorten everything up to a quarter of an inch at most. Some electric razors like the Norelco listed below have a built-in trimmer. On your first time take a bath to get your scrotum nice and soft, this will also help reduce irritation.

Picking a Shaver

Out of all the electric gizmos out there the one I am most happy with is my
Philips Norelco Bodygroom Shaver. I use it every third day or so to make sure that everything stays nice and clean. The longer things get, the harder they can be to get rid of. I do this by taking a shower first, and turning up the heat at the end of the shower to loosen things up. After getting completely dry, use a little bit of powder to help the shaver move around; it will also make sure everything is nice and dry. Then go to town. I also suggest doing this in the bath stall or sitting on the toilet so you don’t have to worry about cleaning up.Note:A dull electric shaver blade will yank the hairs out, not cut them, this will cause considerable irritation and spot bleeding.Getting every nook and fold will take some practice. My balls, and my sanity, did take a little time to get accustomed to using an electric razor on it. I do believe the time it saves me shaving my balls on a weekly basis was well worth it.

Disposable

Using a disposable does create a little of a dilemma. You need one hand to control the razor, and two to move things around. If you have a willing partner you are ‘one up’ on a lot of us. This can be done either in or out of the shower, as you might expect. Start with a good moisturizing cream (make sure it’s not your girlfriends expensive stuff – honestly I have always been a fan of Panteen conditioner, it seems to give the best combination of moisturizer and surface lubrication for shaving) to help loosen the pubes, it will also allow the razor to glide easier.

Use a New Razor

This is not the place you want to be using a used or worn out razor, it will cause irritation and make the rest of your day an uncomfortable situation.

I recommend using a 3 or 4 blade razor like the Mach 3.

Start with light downward motions shaving in the direction the hair is growing (also known as With The Grain). This will shorten the hair to a workable length when going in the opposite (upward) direction.You don’t have to get it all down in one pass, and I severely recommend that you don’t try to prove me wrong.

 

Shaving Your Penis

If your lucky enough to come from a hairy gene pool you probably have hair growing right up your penis. Shaving penis hair can be shaved just like the rest. As with anything else, start by trimming as close as possible if you currently don’t. If you have a bent penis or are unhappy with your size check out: Size Genetics. I shave my penis in the shower because this is where I got use to it. I find it much, much easier to shave when erect because it stretches the skin and gives me an easier surface to work with. Again use some type of moisturizing product before, during, and after. Start by going against the grain of the pubic hair, which will have you moving the razor towards the base of your shaft.

Penis Shaving Tip: When working the undercarriage hold your member close to your body by gripping the head between your partially bent pointer and middle finger, sort of like throwing a curve ball. This allows for the greatest holding power to make sure ol’Jimmy doesn’t wiggle away.

Additional Tips:

  • Don’t press hard, using multiple strokes will reduce irritation to the skin
  • Try using baby oil after to reduce irritation

    I have been shaving my balls and cock for 8 years. At first there was a lot of itching but now it only itches if I don’t do it a couple times a week. Sometimes I shave in the shower but usually right out of the shower. I use a little oil from The Art of Shaving and then use their shaving cream. The balls feel great afterwards. I use some Art of Shaving balm on them afterwards too. My wife loves them smooth and honestly, I do it.

    I did try waxing once and it hurt way to much. It’s much more fun to shave them and then have a little fun with the balm afterwards. On the days I’m not shaving I use a little Gold Bond powder. The sensation is incredible!

    I have been shaving my body for 10 years. At first my wife didn’t like the idea. I have always hated hair whether it’s on the bar of soap, wash cloth or in the drain, I have always found it disgusting. I shaved my balls the first time for a vasectomy and liked the look of it. I waited several years until I decided that since my wife shaved her pubic area for me that I would surprise her by doing the same. She absolutely loved it. She loves licking all around my balls and says how clean my body looks without hair( I trim my leg hair as well but not shave them clean). That also prompted me to shave my armpits, arms and chest. She didn’t like it at first until she stroked my arm and then she hooked. I have very black hair on my body so I look very dirty with hair so when it was removed I looked and felt like a new person. I use a womens rechargeable razor to shave my arms and chest. I recommend for guys that you use the women’s schick silk-effects razor for your genitals it has a flexible head and the blades have a metal thread wrapped around the blades so it keeps the skin from getting caught between blades and prevents you from accidentally slipping and moving sideways and slicing your scrotum or penis. I always notice when women talk about not wanting their guy to look like a brand new baby and just trim their scrotum but it needs to have hair on it they never mention that they like the taste of hair( so I’m guessing they probably don’t do a lot of genital stimulation on their guys in the first place), I was pretty sure that the odds were a lot higher that women prefer their guys penis and scrotum hair free.

    I’ve been shaving my tool for year. So many I don’t even remember when I started. After shaving the hair it grew in so fast I decided that I would pluck it. It took awhile but I got it done. After the first it took about 3 months to grow back. It was easier and easier pulling it each time. I now shave it because it never grows all the way back. I do have a small strip in the front that I let grow long. I love the feeling of shaved. I shave all the way up my stomach to my chest and shave my back and shoulders. I trim everything else so it looks a little uniform. In the hot weather it feels much cooler. I wish I would have done it long ago.

  4. david says:

    I am 18 and I am very hairy from my happy trail down. So yesterday I shaved my cock and balls for the first time, and apart from being itchy my girlfriend loves it! I know this sounds silly but having no hair around my cock is weird.

  5. Toby says:

    Well, first off, let me say that I am a fella who likes fellas. I have always been partial to a smooth lad, but never bothered shaving myself. A few weeks ago a guy I was chumming around with offered to do it for me…WOW. Great fun, if you have someone you can trust to do something so intimate & dangerous! It was very erotic, and I love the way it feels. My other ‘buddies’ like it too!
    I’m hooked on ball shaving, and the best part is that I can find a pal for a ‘You shave & suck mine and I’ll shave & suck yours!’
    Cheers

  6. Jeff says:

    I use my wife’s razor on my balls and the shaft of my cock. Much smoother…she likes licking/sucking them and it feels better for me too.

  7. Rich says:

    I shave my cock and balls. And trim my pubic hair a few times a week, I like to save a little. I think a lot of women come on here just to read some of the stories of guys having to get an erection in the shower just to shave.

  8. Paul says:

    I’ve recently started shaving my balls and penis as well as going Brazilian, and have experienced some itching and irritation after shaving. Found a product that does work, especiailly if one shaves every morning without fail – Nivea for men Revitalising double action balm. This is with using a disposable razor.

    Works like a bomb and keeps everything smooth.

  9. seaniboy says:

    Remember your facial hair area is not alone in different skin conditions, are you dry, ultra dry, sweaty, clammy around your penis gentleman…

    Adapt to your condition but the ultra rules are:-

    A) Wet all the way ! Gillete Venus all the way in a shower or bath, wet equals moisture and moisture equals less dryness.

    B) Always make sure your balls are warm and reclined, cold and shrivelled, managed ?? smooth skin equals a smooth shave.

    C) Conditioners and shampoos will cause too much glide and cuts are a sure way ahoy for cuts, never use showe gel or anything after, there are showers and chemical free cock care showers, on that matter the use of products designed for the internal vagina behind the foreskin for those guys still unskinned is a must.

    D) Pat dry and mosturise – use Petrolium Jelly, commonly Vaseline, golden rule guys – as with
    cooking, apply with sense… You can add but you can’t take away ;)

    Optionally, add a light dusting baby powder after being completely dry every day/other day….

    E) TIME, as the most important, take as much as you need ! NEVER rush !

    F) Think about pressure used against the skin with the razor.

  10. Tommy says:

    In my 50′s now and have been shaving balls and cock for close to 10 years. Couple times a week, in the shower, soap and good razor. Its routine hygiene now.Don’t be in a hurry. Only had a couple of nicks but they do bleed. A little Vaseline Intensive Care afterwards.

    Pros: Wife almost immediately spent more time on oral and hasn’t stopped (also starting sucking my balls which had never happened), better sensations, “enhances” appearance.

    Cons: None yet.

    Highly recommended.

  11. Todd says:

    me and my boyfriend have just shaved everything together and it is so much better! before it was always a bit uncomfortable with sucking and that but now it is amazing! if you are planning on shaving it, do it in a bath with someone else, and you can have a bit of fun in the bath aswel! thnx man!

  12. Christian Alexander Tietgen says:

    It must feel a bit strange if you’re hairless there.

  13. M says:

    I can’t believe I did this, but after reading the story and all the comments I asked my new girlfriend what she prefers, no hesitation she said shaved! So, I went to Target and bought the BG-2040 ($68) and charged it up.

    This morning I went to work shortening everything up with the trimming side and that was much easier than scissors. I’ve accidentally cut myself with scissors in the past so that is no fun and I’m always a little nervous when I use them now, so this part of the shaver is nice.

    With that done, I flipped it around to use the shaver part. It did a pretty good job, but I found it not getting everything that I thought or hoped it would get. I found myself wanting to press harder to enable it to get every trace of hair stubble left, and when I did that, it would nick my sack and draw blood. So, I backed off and tried to not press so hard but then it wasn’t getting everything. So, it looks like in order to get it smooth I’m going to have to use a razor blade.

    The worst part about the design on the head is there are these two edge trimmer blades that run the length of the cutting foil head of the razor. You have to be really careful because they will grab the skin and nick you.

    I have this kind of strange dividing line in my skin of my sack that starts at my taint and goes up and around to the base of my penis. It kind of bisects my whole sack down the middle all the way around so there is a left and right half looking down on it. I don’t know if this is normal or not lol. Along this dividing line are some tiny flaps of skin and hair grows there, and the skin on my sack is not very smooth but thin and kind of like bumpy like what the skin on a turkey leg looks like before you cook it. If your not real careful those edge trimmer things will grab those tiny flaps of skin and nick you! OUCH!!! There was some hair that was too long for the foil to be able to cut in some areas like that, but too short for the trimmer end of the razor to get to cut, so I was trying to cut these off with that edge trimmer part and boy did I jump when it grabbed that skin lol. Yeeoowwwe! I said screw it and just left it thinking I’d try to either just pluck the hair there or try a razor blade next time.

    I took a long shower after and I was still bleeding from spots all over my sack lol. I was thinking, damn, I should have just saved my money and bought the Mach 3 razor and tried that first if I had known I was going to nick myself up like this, and its still not completely smooth in areas like I was hoping and I’m pretty sure a regular razor would have made it smooth.

    This was the first time doing this, so maybe I just need more practice. At least I won’t see my girlfriend for a couple weeks so I’ll have time to heal up lol..

    Does this BG-2040 work better wet or dry? If used wet in the shower, do you use some kind of shaving cream or gel or hair conditioner to make it glide smoother? Because, that was a painful experience, I’m not looking forward to doing that again, but the girlfriend is really looking forward to it and I want what she wants for obvious reasons so I’d like to be able to do this on a regular basis!

  14. Congratulations on taking the first step. Yes the BG-2040 does have trimmer son both sides of the foil, but I have yet to nick myself using it.
    As for the line separating you down the middle, I have it too, just figured it was normal.

    In regards to using it wet or dry, I use it dry because when it is wet the hair will just stick to it and clump up. I tend to use it in the shower, but before I get myself wet so the clean up is, well there is none.

    Don’t try and do it all in one sitting, especially if you have never done anything like this before.

    Please submit a follow up review in a few weeks.

  15. Turtle Neck says:

    I love having smooth balls and as hair grows up my shaft, I get rid of it on there too. With closely trimmed hair around my cock, it looks neat and feels great.

    I’d just like to add another vote for what seems to be a poorly represented method: I use my wife’s depilation cream. Like another poster found, at first it didn’t seem to work too well, but I started leaving it on longer than the recommended time and eventually found that if you leave it on for about twice what is suggested, it works really well and there is no burn.

    Your skin will probably react differently to mine, so I’m recommending experimentation rather than absolute timings! And on that note, if you need to increase the time, do so gradually – believe me it *really* hurts if you leave it too long!

    The massive pluses of this method are that it lasts a week or two between treatments and new growth starts thin (unlike the stubbly sandpaper-like sproutings a couple of days after shaving).

  16. Chuck says:

    I’m an old (70) man, but this is all new to me. Tried trimming with small scissors, nicked myself a couple of times. There must be a better way! I do this because I think that being clean shaven will be healthier than having all the pubic hair absorbing dirt and sweat. Can this be done with a “regular” electric razor, or would a body trimming razor be the too to get. Don’t shave my face with an electric razor, so I’ve got to buy something if I’m going to do this. And how long between shaves? Does this now shaved hair grow as fast as facial hair? Will it grow back as a dark stubble, like my beard. Have I started something that i’ll have to do from now on?

  17. shanel says:

    can i use shapoo to make the hairs down there soft and do i need to make my scrotum skin tight before shaving ??

  18. Martin says:

    I’ve been shaving for years, and although I don’t like to brag, I have really big balls that hang low so I like to take my time to make sure I’ve got them really smooth. The annoying thing is there are always hairs that have been missed.

    I’ve been thinking of getting a Braun or Panasonic shaver that can be used with foam/gel but wondered if anyone has any experience of using them rather than a razor ? I want to be able to get rid of all the hairs on my sac and also the annoying ones up the back of my cock.

  19. Shampoo may work, I personally use conditioner. When shaving anything it is wise to have the skin tight, not to mention you want to smooth out all the nooks and crannies where a hair might be hiding.
