How do you shave your balls? Every time I've tried with my trimmer it pinches and tears my sack and I'm too traumatized to try it again unless there's a full proof bloodless method. Usually I just pluck as many as I can tolerate while I'm sitting around watching YouTube or somethin. But it's such a pain (literally). Pic unrelated
I've shaved my balls for decades at this point. Take a good hot shower for at least 10 minutes, or even better soak in a hot tub for 30-60 minutes. This softens the hair. Shampoo is the best shaving cream as it doesn't dull the razor blades as much as actual shaving cream. I pull the skin tight and go one pass with the grain, and one pass against. As others have said, that is delicate skin, and it cuts easily, so be careful. Personally I have yet to get better results with any of the various razors I've tried, so I just stick with my Mach 3
You shouldn't need to shave in multiple directions... Each bit of skin has 1 ideal direction to shave it, unless your hair grows in a spiral or something.
I won't downvote you, but if you are only shaving in one direction, you either aren't getting totally smooth, or you are needlessly torturing yourself by only shaving against the grain of your hair.
From experience, your beard, or any other patch of body hair, can literally grow in multiple different directions in the same patch. Regardless, the only way you can get baby smooth is to shave against the grain, which I really don't recommend as your first pass, unless you shave literally every day, and for some guys it would be twice a day.
I can't shave more frequently than once every 2 days. The USN literally gave me a "shaving chit" for that in boot.
I shave with, not against. Shaving against causes irritation.
You changed the subject to beards. This thread is about pubic hair.
I told you my routine with my balls, not my beard. I shave 4 to 8 ways on my face.
