How do you shave male pubic hair?

Answer 1

NO, do not use an electric shaver, it will cause too much irritation, or chew up your "goodies". Trust me, I've tried. I find the best way is to trim with a beard trimmer, and shave very carefully with a disposable razor with a gel strip. When you get to the bottom of the shaft, pull it down and away from you, and use careful downward strokes. When shaving the sack, stretch it out. I normally use one down stroke and one up, because the blade tends to pass over the hair if u only go with the grain of the hair. Perhaps with an electric shaver, but why would he want to do such a thing?

Answer 2

I cut any hair on the shaft itself right down to the base with scissors. Once its super-short, I then shave it with a electric shaver for a smooth finish. I also trim the rest of the hair surrounding my penis short.

Answer 3

Don't do it! Leave your bush alone!

Do a web search: shave genital hair, shave pubic hair, etc.

There are lots of sites with excellent info.

I've shaved since I was nine (girl). My two daughters have shaved since 9 and 10.

1Buy a beard or hair trimmer and trim the pubic area to less than 1/4". This will make the hair easier to shave later. Longer hair is more likely to clog a razor. Using a beard trimmer will work better than scissors and it will cut the hair shorter. If you use a clipper make sure you use a 00000 blade on it, if you do it will cut almost as close as a razor blade.

Avoid using an electric razor on the scrotum. The skin of the scrotum is so thin and loose that it can be caught by the shaver, and this is extremely painful. If for some reason you still feel you should use a men's electric razor, avoid shaving down the center of the underside of the penis and on the center of the scrotum, as a cut there is also extremely painful.

2Take a hot shower. This will soften the hair.

3Get in position. Ensure the room you are using for shaving will be private for at least an hour (or however long you think the process will take). This is not something you want to rush through! Consider shaving late at night.

Consider shaving sitting in a very shallow hot bath. The hot water in the bath will prepare the area for shaving better than showering. Your body will be very stable (you are sitting down) and your genitals are very accessible. You also have a handy source of water in which to rinse the razor. If this is not possible consider shaving sitting down, ideally on the floor for ease of access and stability.

If you use the edge of a toilet seat to sit on, letting your pubic area sit over a garbage can while shaving, the mess will be next to nothing to clean up.

If you prefer standing, try shaving in your shower. Just make sure to stand out of the water to avoid watering down your shave lather, and constantly rinse your blade. By shaving at the start of the shower, you will let any cuts close themselves and thus avoid any stains in your clothes.

Lather the area with shaving cream intended for sensitive skin. Avoid menthol or heavily scented creams as they will irritate the area. Using an antibacterial shaving gel will minimize irritation caused by bacteria getting into your pores and hair follicles. Also, these types of shave gels are clear, allowing you to see the terrain as you shave.

5Using a new 3 or 4 bladed razor, shave each area using short, very light strokes. The key in shaving the genital area is to always make sure the section of skin you're shaving is taut; shaving loose skin can lead to cuts, because the skin will move with the razor and create an uneven surface. The following tips are for shaving against the direction of growth ("against the grain" - which produces the smoothest shave) but note that if you first shave in the direction the hair is growing, you will shorten most of it. Then shaving in the opposite direction will be easier, but some people find it sufficient to just shave in the direction of growth and stop there, especially since shaving against the grain is more likely to result in ingrown hairs and razor bumps.

6Pulling the penis downward, shave from the top of the penis upward to the navel.

7Holding the penis to the side, shave inwards in the sides of it and in the sides of the scrotum.

8Holding the penis upward, shave downwards carefully from the penis to the lower part of the scrotum.

9The scrotum is much easier to shave if the skin is extended. The scrotum should be shaved from the middle front part of it, to the sides, with extreme care.

10Rinse off and wash the area using mild soap.

11Pat dry. Be gentle. Rubbing with the towel will increase irritation.

12Use some antiseptic cream to minimize skin irritation. If you are shaving the first or second time it will most likely irritate the skin, once the hair starts growing back. This can lead to itching and redness. This will be gone within a week roughly and once you start shaving more often it will stop.

Answer 5

It's safe to shave pubic hair but not especially healthy.

As well as being a sign of sexual maturity pubic hair helps to protect the genitals from irritation, damage, and dirt which can lead to infections. Pubic hair also helps to protect from some STD's due to reduction in direct skin-to-skin contact during sex. Shaving can cause a lot of irritation and damage to the hair, as the blunt hair grows back in as well as irritating it can lead to ingrown hairs which can become infected, also cysts are more common in people who shave their pubic hair.

Answer 6

Shaving is as safe for women as it is for a person of any other gender.

shaving does carry risks such as risk of irritation and cuts, as the hair grows back it can cause ingrown hairs which can become infected too. As long as shaving is done carefully and correctly it is perfectly safe.

Answer 7

I recommend not shaving them because i heard it just makes them REALY itchy and uncomfortable;)

Answer 8

Same as hair anyplace else. Clip it short with scissors and shave the rest. If just trimming, a mustache clipper would work.
