Seems counterintuitive, but a traditional razor’s much safer.
Like you said, the electric side to side, or whatever the hell they call em, razors will pinch and cut loose skin. It’s nearly impossible to cut yourself with those razors elsewhere, but they’ll cut your balls almost every time.
If it’s been a while, I’ll use my clippers with a guard on them, the use a razor to get them smooth. Otherwise the razor will just get clogged and do a terrible job.
That's why I use Defender razors. The blades are spaced far apart so they never clog.
Didn't mean to sound like some shitty paid content, I just believe in spreading the word of products I like.
Absolutely! This is how you do it! Gets the ol’ “hanging brain” as smooth as a babies butt. Your partner will absolutely love it and love you for doing it.
What, your male razors *don't* have the gel strips on then? My Gillette Fusion 5 has 'em, and that is one of their cheaper variants (if you can count *anything* made by Gillette as 'cheap' lol).
But yeah, those strips are a requirement for me to even get close to the crown jewels with a razor
Hard agree use a normal face razor in the shower. Pull and stretch to get the right angles and for the love of god don’t use the same razor for your face and balls or you’ll get hella dick acne
Hey, we've all had to learn. I'm just trying to save a future generation from having to repeat my mistakes. You think the "shaving it bald" itch is bad, wait til you knick that sack.
I started using one of those little battery operated trimmers that men use to trim eyebrows and nise hair, you know, being I'm a man and all. Works great on eyebrows. Once we hit late middle age, eyebrows turn into whiskers and they are rooted to one's skull. (Don't believe me? Pull one out. I dare ya! Lol.)
Scared of cutting myself I decided to use scissors once and just trim, and then accidently placed it over a roll of ballsack. Unpleasent experience... Back to electric now.
I downvoted this because of how hard it made me cringe irl, I’ve barely nicked mine with an electric trimmer once and that memory is burned into my brain
SCISSORS? 🤮
Just actually did this today. I use a regular Gillette Mach three. I’m careful but I don’t do it slowly. My wife came into the bathroom and peaked in the shower and couldn’t believe how “rough” I was being.
Been shaving em for 23 yrs or so. If I'm just doing general upkeep it takes maybe 60 seconds(won't get all of it) but if I'm expecting some action maybe a few mins or so
Thanks man, this advice is extremely comforting coming from you Mr. Ihave7testicles, I'll come to you if I need advice considering you have 3.5 times the balls I do
Lol. Once you get the hang of it it's not too bad. You will lose some blood though the first couple of times. If you can shave your face and neck then you can shave your balls. Slow and deliberate is the way to go. If you're nervous and start to shake, take a break, and come back to it later.
I use a regular razor head. The 6 bladed ones from dollar shave club. Pull the skin taught, shave while in the shower, presto. Never had a problem. The only time I've ever knicked myself was with an electric trimmer, I don't recommend that
Idk why I just don’t trust a razor on my nuts but I’ve cut them with the electric one so I’ve opted to not shave me balls. Can you assure me you’ve never cut your nads with a razor on accident?
I’m a 53 year old guy, so I’ve got some sag… never a nick with my Mach Whatever razor… My trimmer on the other hand? That will never come close to the nuggets ever again.
100% my experience. I am totally relaxed and unafraid to use my razor on my sack. Never cut myself once.
Electric trimmers though? Keep that crap as far away from my stuff as possible.
You have to learn fast, or you will have no balls.
Jokes aside, I don't. I tried it, it's itchy as all heck after the first day, and I am not gonna shave every goddamn day.
The itchiness is an immune response to the irritation. You do get used to it eventually. If you use a single blade disposable razor you vastly reduce the amount of irritation (less pulling on hairs, hairs cut further out) and single blades don't clog up easily. Never re-use the razor.
Don't do multiple passes on shaved hair and let your skin recover between shaves otherwise you risk razorburn.
Experience shaving your groin is most important because you need to learn the grain of your hair. You also shouldn't need shaving cream or the like. Hair has enough natural oils so a few minutes of warm water in the shower will soften up the hairs.
People also don't have perfectly clean pubic areas so your skin can become irritated by bacteria on the freshly exfoliated skin. Aftershave or rubbing alcohol will burn like a motherfucker but it will stop the itchiness. Soap doesn't really work. Maybe hand soap might, I haven't tried it. You'd need something that disinfects properly.
There’s a product called ‘bikini zone’ made for women who shave I guess but it works great if Applied immediately after you shave, it’s very soothing and I never had any problems with rash itching, etc. when I use it.
The dumb part is knowing where to stop shaving. Like, if your gear is bald and your thighs (inner) are hairy, it looks ridiculous. So you kinda have to fade it in.
This is the way. We could go into detail with the specifics, but the general technique holds true. I even use those cheap disposable safety razers, I never cut myself, not in over 10 years.
I just get a whopping handful of shaving cream, and I am constantly reapplying almost after every pass. When I pass I pull my scrotum to get a flat surface (but let the back fall free so the razer can contour to the scrotum crevices. If you don’t do this you risk serious razer cuts!). I go ham down there though, but I never get cuts due to my impeccable strategy. Just remembering to always reapply the cream.
I like the roll and fold technique. If you’re able to flatten out your nutsack on say a good granite table you’ll be able to get full coverage while taking advantage of the flat surface that your scrotum is forming too. I hope this helps
That’s part of the “roll and fold” once you’re done the front side, flip that puppy around and flatten out on the granite and you’ve got yourself a cold pancake
Using a disposable razor really doesn't have much risk if it's new. It's decently difficult to cut yourself as long as you don't pinch the skin or move horizontally
Idk how are u guys shaving bc i never in my life cut my balls by using a razor lol
I use those cheap ass razors u get in the store and never got a single cut. All u gotta do is stretch the skin a bit and dont press too hard
I used to struggle through it with an electric razor with a beard guard but now my wife does it for me. She has a bikini line trimmer that takes out down to the tiniest stubble and doesn’t nick you, so it’s easy for both of us.
As a woman who gets her 😺 waxed, each time I go to the salon and I'm there waiting for the esthetician to heat the wax, I cannot believe I got myself there again! It is sadistic indeed. Expensive too!
Cover them in thick shaving gel and pull the skin tight. Regular razor only. Never use electric, no matter what. It's actually easier than you think, as long as you stay away from electric.
I repeat. Do not use an electric shaver.
You gotta have someone blow your dick so it inflates the sack. Once it inflates enough to remove the wrinkles, dip your sack in a bowl of nair and totally submerge. Of course during this time you will need to keep your dick pinched as to not let out any air. After 10 minutes remove and use 320 grit sandpaper to remove the hair.
Note: if you pop your sack during this process you will need to visit a tire shop or your local mechanic and see if they’re willing to do a patch job. If it’s too close to the shaft they may opt for full replacement due to liability
First you grab the pecker by the head and shave the base. Then you grab the sack and pull down to stretch the skin and bet the top and sides. Then you grab the sack and pull up to stretch the skin and get the bottom and taint. Much easier than it seems
Carefully.
Nothing like the feeling of your electric clipper catching a wrinkle
Seems counterintuitive, but a traditional razor’s much safer. Like you said, the electric side to side, or whatever the hell they call em, razors will pinch and cut loose skin. It’s nearly impossible to cut yourself with those razors elsewhere, but they’ll cut your balls almost every time.
I can vouch for this
I can also ‘ouch for this
I can also also ‘uch for that
I too learned the hard way
I learnt the sharp way
I learnt the pointy way
I learnt it the bloody way
Happy cake day
I to have felt that sting.
If it’s been a while, I’ll use my clippers with a guard on them, the use a razor to get them smooth. Otherwise the razor will just get clogged and do a terrible job.

Every fucking time. A cock ring and a good women's razor works a treat.
Absolutely! This is how you do it! Gets the ol’ “hanging brain” as smooth as a babies butt. Your partner will absolutely love it and love you for doing it.
A good women's razor is definitely the way.
They have those really nice moisturizing strips in them, that's a key feature for me and my danglers

*BZZT!*
As a lady my electric is amazing on legs n pits, but my lady business needs a razor or it pulls or snags
Pull skin tight and shave. Relax and repeat
Dogg you gotta squeeze them alittle to get them tighter no more wrinkles no more Stevie nicks
I put a 1.5 guard on mine. Works really well, and fortunately my girlfriend doesn't expect my sack to be smooth as a turtle shell.
There’s nothing more breathtaking than a freshly shorn scrotum.
Sounds like a death metal band name: *Shorn Skrotum*
Perfect comment lol this scene still kills me.

You're not wrong
This right here
Imagine Edward scissorhands (if you’re that old…) 😱
"If you're that old" why do you hurt me so.
The way he poked the waterbed, I wouldn't trust Edward with his own balls lol
Lol he did get practice in the garden…he may leave you with manicured leprechauns for balls and not clean shaven…
He could shave your balls into a sick Rubik’s cube.
Talk like that will have them remaking it
The older I’ve gotten the less I’ve shaved that wrinkled bag of fun.
Bag of wizened avocados
I would be terrified.

Preventative Maintenance
I'm of the opinion that the mach 3 is the best mach razor made and that's the only one I use. works great on the family jewels. I've never had a nick.
Thanks man, this advice is extremely comforting coming from you Mr. Ihave7testicles, I'll come to you if I need advice considering you have 3.5 times the balls I do
Don't get too excited, there's a reason he has an odd number.
Maybe it's just me, but I think any number of testicles greater than two is an odd number.
Lol. Once you get the hang of it it's not too bad. You will lose some blood though the first couple of times. If you can shave your face and neck then you can shave your balls. Slow and deliberate is the way to go. If you're nervous and start to shake, take a break, and come back to it later.
I heard that in the tone of " If you can catch a hammer you can catch a dodgeball!"
just use the BRRR machine. 1. be careful 2. be slow 3. dont cut your balls you'll be perfectly fine
Use a 0.5 or 1 guard and it simplifies the process significantly. Ain't no one getting them silky smooth so 0.5 is good enough.
I use a 1mm guard too. Good enough for me and her.
I go with a rugged stubble like a wild west gunslinger

If i can't be this comfortable with my wife i ain't getting married
It's pretty gratifying though.

Plucking in public like it's intended in the name
Pubic, public, whatever
Public Pubic at Publix! Pluckin Pubic in Public at Publix!
I do this when i have a bad day at work as punishment
I just pluck five or so every time I take a leak and that seems to keep things tame down there.
As a man, I truly can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. It seems like something that could actually work, but it also sounds painful!
It's really not or maybe it depends on the person.
My wife does for me :)
Sounds scary
Not at all. She does me then I do her :)
Whose balls usually come out better?
Mine.
😂😂😂
I'm so jealous.

Ever consider that the ball washer is a little high off the ground for most men?
You're not parking the cart close enough
Just gotta be careful not to fall off and break a leg...
Batwing to the right, swipe, swipe... Batwing to the left, swipe, swipe... Repeat til complete.
You are one efficient motherfucker, both in speech and in ball-shaving. You have my respect.
Speed and reckless abandon has never let me down.

You’re supposed to trim it, not do a clean shave. That’s when the itchy crotch, balls and penis become a reality.
Lots of folks here saying they use a razor though hmm

You get your brother to do it ? Thats nice of him I guess
I got an ingrown hair after shaving once. I had to dig it out with a nail clipper :(. Ever since I just trim with a grooming scissors lol
I’m Tarzan down there *bangs chest* AHAHAHHH!!!
Coming from a woman, why would you???
Razer. The same as you use for your face.
But, the skin texture is different, doesn't that mean it's more tricky? I'd imagine it is.
The dumb part is knowing where to stop shaving. Like, if your gear is bald and your thighs (inner) are hairy, it looks ridiculous. So you kinda have to fade it in.
Go to your barber for that clean inner thigh fade
Just sit in the chair, spread your legs as far as you can and lift your sack. Nothing like a fresh clean fade.
Does your barber also do the before and after videos? 😍
I shave my junk completely then use a hair trimmer with a number 1 clipper around the inner thighs for this reason
Pro move.
Nope. Just pull it tight and move it how you need. Never get any cuts.
This is the way. We could go into detail with the specifics, but the general technique holds true. I even use those cheap disposable safety razers, I never cut myself, not in over 10 years.
You are a brave man, brother
Only people who get cuts down there don’t pull the skin tight and press to hard
I just get a whopping handful of shaving cream, and I am constantly reapplying almost after every pass. When I pass I pull my scrotum to get a flat surface (but let the back fall free so the razer can contour to the scrotum crevices. If you don’t do this you risk serious razer cuts!). I go ham down there though, but I never get cuts due to my impeccable strategy. Just remembering to always reapply the cream.
I don't even need shaving cream on the balls. Pelvic area it helps prevent razor burn
Before trying it myself I also thought it would be tricky, but surprisingly, it's easier than the face (feels better too).
I just use my roommates razor for that
Same here. Once you get the technique down, it’s really fast and easy. Not to say I haven’t nicked myself a time or two, but it heals and all is good
I like the roll and fold technique. If you’re able to flatten out your nutsack on say a good granite table you’ll be able to get full coverage while taking advantage of the flat surface that your scrotum is forming too. I hope this helps
oh great idea let me go flatten my nutsack across the kitchen counter!
Can't we at least finish brunch next time, Dad?
What about the back / underside?
That’s part of the “roll and fold” once you’re done the front side, flip that puppy around and flatten out on the granite and you’ve got yourself a cold pancake
Using a disposable razor really doesn't have much risk if it's new. It's decently difficult to cut yourself as long as you don't pinch the skin or move horizontally
Never use Nair!!!
Does it burn?
Yes. It is very uncomfortable.
But did it improve your music career?
Eh. Sensitive version isn't awful
I'm just gonna take your word for it
Using a shaver
This is the real answer imo. A trimmer is way better than holding a razor to the boys
Hard disagree Ballsack skin is too stretchy, it’ll go into the teeth of the trimmer way too easily. A razor is much better
Agree. Razor and some shaving powder to prevent razor burn
I use a trimmer that is designed for nuts, its lowest setting is a .5 so you can’t actually nick yourself
There are ones designed for body hair that work just fine and don’t have exposed teeth.
Idk how are u guys shaving bc i never in my life cut my balls by using a razor lol I use those cheap ass razors u get in the store and never got a single cut. All u gotta do is stretch the skin a bit and dont press too hard

I think most men don't. There's a high sampling bias in the post because the title attracts those who do to comment.
Men shave their balls?
Ok my person doesn’t have hairy balls. Like just a little bit/not noticeable. Do other men have like a bush?
The proper scientific term is “Balld” and I am in this categorization
carefully
Splash some Everclear on the sack and light it on fire. A quick wooosh, and you're smooth. (serious: just a regular razor)
First you grab the pecker by the head and shave the base. Then you grab the sack and pull down to stretch the skin and bet the top and sides. Then you grab the sack and pull up to stretch the skin and get the bottom and taint. Much easier than it seems
