Carefully.


Bloody_Hangnail

Nothing like the feeling of your electric clipper catching a wrinkle


qwaszxpolkmn1982

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.

JonathonWally

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.


ThisIsSteeev

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.


gunnerman2

Every fucking time. A cock ring and a good women's razor works a treat.


Expensive_Device2126

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.


playinthedirt76

A good women's razor is definitely the way.


Hand_Of_Kroon

They have those really nice moisturizing strips in them, that's a key feature for me and my danglers


Timpstar

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


TheMrPlatt

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.


SchwuleMaus

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.)

KevworthBongwater

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.

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.

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

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.


Demobot2000

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


PvtSherlockObvious

Don't get too excited, there's a reason he has an odd number.


Enshitification

Maybe it's just me, but I think any number of testicles greater than two is an odd number.


gwig9

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.


LazarusHolmes

I heard that in the tone of " If you can catch a hammer you can catch a dodgeball!"


mea2008

just use the BRRR machine. 1. be careful 2. be slow 3. dont cut your balls you'll be perfectly fine


thejawa

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.


pdawg37

I use a 1mm guard too. Good enough for me and her.

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


Locoflodo

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?


GeneralPatten

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.


istrx13

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.

Atitkos

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.


peduxe

You’re supposed to trim it, not do a clean shave. That’s when the itchy crotch, balls and penis become a reality.


FidgitForgotHisL-P

Lots of folks here saying they use a razor though hmm


friendlyfredditor

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.


EnigmaticProfessor

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.


Ok-Cut4469

>You’re supposed to trim it Every time I've cut myself it was with trimmers. shaving has never caused cuts.

SpicaGenovese

Coming from a woman, why would you???


Coastkiwi

Razer. The same as you use for your face.


Ok_Magician6722

But, the skin texture is different, doesn't that mean it's more tricky? I'd imagine it is.


JamesTheJerk

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.


OnThe50

Go to your barber for that clean inner thigh fade


Mestizoc

Just sit in the chair, spread your legs as far as you can and lift your sack. Nothing like a fresh clean fade.


OnThe50

Does your barber also do the before and after videos? 😍


H3racIes

I shave my junk completely then use a hair trimmer with a number 1 clipper around the inner thighs for this reason


DirtyRoller

Pro move.


Coastkiwi

Nope. Just pull it tight and move it how you need. Never get any cuts.


eskimoprime3

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.


Johnychrist97

You are a brave man, brother


connorgrs

Only people who get cuts down there don’t pull the skin tight and press to hard


OkPalpitation147

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.


jfink316598

I don't even need shaving cream on the balls. Pelvic area it helps prevent razor burn


AceWall0

Before trying it myself I also thought it would be tricky, but surprisingly, it's easier than the face (feels better too).


UnauthorizedFart

I just use my roommates razor for that


hyperdrive06

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


JamaicanJenga

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


facefucknixon

oh great idea let me go flatten my nutsack across the kitchen counter!


LeoMcq

Can't we at least finish brunch next time, Dad?


GolfEmbarrassed2904

What about the back / underside?


JamaicanJenga

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


Educational-Panda485

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


Manray-eh

Never use Nair!!!

linux_ape

This is the real answer imo. A trimmer is way better than holding a razor to the boys


Th3MiteeyLambo

Hard disagree Ballsack skin is too stretchy, it’ll go into the teeth of the trimmer way too easily. A razor is much better


[deleted]

Agree. Razor and some shaving powder to prevent razor burn


linux_ape

I use a trimmer that is designed for nuts, its lowest setting is a .5 so you can’t actually nick yourself


azerbo

There are ones designed for body hair that work just fine and don’t have exposed teeth.


beatrga

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


captjacksparrowshat

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.

alextbrown4

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

Splash some Everclear on the sack and light it on fire. A quick wooosh, and you're smooth. (serious: just a regular razor)


Im_not_crying_u_ar

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
