Err, this is not a very comfortable topic to discuss especially if it involves exposing your sensitive genitals to a sharp razor. However, pubic hair and scrotum shaving can be both a healthy and sexy affair.
You might ask why there is a need to shave your hair down there. Most guys would give you the most apparent reason. Your erection looks positively huge when the surrounding area is hairless. Pubic hair covers up part of the shaft so it does seem a little shorter. Once the hair is removed, the hidden part of the shaft will be exposed and will make your tool a half inch longer.
Of course there are other benefits. Shaving will improve hygiene. The whole area will get cleaner and smell better. Also, shaving can be sexy especially if your partner is willing to lend a hand and the do the deed with pleasure.
So how do you go about shaving your pubes and scrotum? Mensflair gives us the steps to follow.
1. Prepare for scrotum and pubic hair shaving by selecting the best sharp razor and great shaving cream. A shaving cream for sensitive skin works best, and brands like The Art of Shaving, Colgate, and Neutrogena are all options for shaving this area. Choose a new razor blade on a razor you're familiar with so there are no surprises.
2. Hop in a steamy shower. Take a full shower before shaving, so the hair gets soft and easier to shave. Get a full lather of shaving cream on the base of your shaft and around it, as well as the scrotum.
3. Start shaving at your shaft. Stroke downwards from the head of your penis and then continue to shave around the upper pubic area. If you'd like a completely clean shaven look, continue to remove all the hair around the shaft as well.
4. Continue to stroke down into the hairline around your testicles, and then carefully shave your testicles with a smooth upward motion.
5. Rinse and dry the area carefully. You'll want to moisturize your skin afterwards for comfort, and adding a slight dusting of powder can help with any potential chafing.
Just be sure to rinse your razor after every stroke. This is important since a clogged razor may not give the best results. It is also important to exfoliate both before and after shaving. Lastly, avoid lotions or powders which contain colors or fragrances. You might be allergic to these components.
