Question: Do You Have Any Tips For Men Shaving Genitals?
Answer: There's a big difference between shaving the pubic hair located on the skin and shaving the genitals. The skin on the genitals is different than other parts of your body, so you can really hurt yourself. I'm not a guy, but a nick or cut down below on the testicles or penis has to be a lot worse than on your face. A cut also has the risk of infection or other possible problems. But that doesn't mean you're without any options.

Men Shaving Genitals: Razor and Cream Won't Cut It

Shaving the pubic area around your genitals can be done using a razor and shaving cream. But I wouldn't suggest using this method on your private parts. Instead, try a men's personal hair groomer made especially for this purpose like these: Both can be used wet or dry so you can save time and shave while you shower, and are rechargeable. Guards on the shavers control the length, so they allow you to trim down the hair shorter or shave it closely, without risking cuts or nicks. And you can use the shavers on other parts of your body, like to make your armpits look more groomed.

Shaving, as you know, only lasts a short time. If you're seeking a longer lasting option, you can try a professional men's bikini wax. Pulling the entire hair follicle from the root, you can be hairless for weeks at a time. While some salons will give a complete Brazilian wax- private parts and all- I don't recommend it. A safer option is getting the pubic hair around your genitals removed, and trim down the rest with the body shavers mentioned above.
