OT: Shaving, waxing or depilatories.

Hey guys, can someone point me in the right direction for articles on how to or products that work best?

I tried shaving my pubic hairs and penis and got a major rash.

I want to know how to ELIMINATE all hair down there in pubic area without going to a salon.. Whats best method other than shaving? Can you use those creams to remove hair on your balls or penis (I think they’re called Depilatories cream) ? Can you wax the area or will it bleed ?

Any links, articles, products would be very helpful.. THANKS !

Permanent Hair Removal on Shaft of Penis

Thanks.. But I didn’t get much other than maybe trying tendskin (mixed reviews), there seems to be no clear solution or consensus other than permanent solution is laser- which I can’t afford.

I’m looking for a do it yourself method? Doesn’t have to be permanent? Thanks

What can I use on the balls?
The Shaft?
The surrounding pubic area?

From the link, hidden inside is this site: Hair removal forum – HairFacts | Hair Removal Information
They have a forum which is free to register at. http://www.hair … /ubbthreads.php

Every and any question has been answered by people in that business. They have a wax, tweeze, laser my balls subsection which is 18+ ONLY, so to see that you need to register. Worth it.

Also https://www.waxwaxwax.com has state listings and #s to call. I suggest you try waxing and look and see if it feels right for you before having it removed with the James Bond death laser, etc….

I’ve never tried it, but someone suggested duct tape. But to use it, you have to have really big balls.

DrGrendel; I read that you tried shaving and a rash resulted. If you have tried all these things, then my apologies in advance. I also had a rash when I started shaving. I bought one of those small hand held trimmers that do not ‘pull’ or ‘pinch’ skin and trimmed all the hair very, very close. Then I used a good quality triple blade razor. I use short strokes and rinse after ever stroke. Then I used Neosporin crème, but I don’t need it anymore. When I tried shaving with disposable razors or if the hair was too long, I had a rash. Just my thoughts if it helps.

I’ve had several years of trouble free usage from my Seiko Cleancut personal shaver. Very easy to use and gentle on the scrotum. I’m using the original one, but they now have a newer one that might be better.

I second this idea. I’ve been shaving for about 6 months, penis, scrotum and most pubic hair above the penis and I’ve never developed a rash. I also agree that you should first trim the hair to a much shorter length before using a razor.

I’ve tried a wet shave in the shower and a dry shave, and I find that a dry shave seems to work best for me. Of course you proceed very cautiously with almost no pressure.

I use the Schick “Xtreme 3 Sensitive” triple head razor. It has a swivel and it’s head is flexible, i.e., it bends

DO NOT put Depilatories cream like Nair on or near the shaft of your penis. I tried that about 15 years ago and it burned the sensitive skin on my balls and penis. It left me with raw open blisters.

I pluck the hairs out of my penis shaft. After many years of this the hair hardly come back anymore. I use a razor on my balls and just trim the pubes around the dick very short. Shaving the bush gives me razor bumps. I have waxed this area before which is great but then the grow back always includes ingrown hairs.

The Seiko Clean Cut is a great electric razor that will keep your nuts marble smooth if you are afraid of a razor down there.

Just like PE I think every ones routine is different for pubes. For some shaving is easy for others its a bitch.

Okay, thanks everyone, maybe I’ll keep trying shaving w/suggestions above then. I just hate those bumps and the itching.. I did cut it short first, but didn’t use any neosporin or anything afterwards.

I may try waxing as well, can you wax your scrotum and penis safely? I keep reading various opinions.

I know your mom probably warned you about fire but still.

Lovely.. Everyones a comedian.. Duct tape, burning.. Etc.

Hey now, I should get credit for referencing your mom + fire considering your name.

You are ruling out shaving, burning, and duct tape which makes our job that much harder. Have you tried Magic Shaving Powder? Plenty of the guys have had that work for them; although, it didn’t entirely work for me. It is dirt cheap and doesn’t hurt you the way that Nair and other products do so it is certainly worth a try.

HairFacts is one of the best sites around on hair removal, imo. Doesn’t seem to have any affiliation, trashes the out there methods and talks about hair reduction where appropriate:

Sure, why not, I’ll give the Magic Shaving Powder a try.. Thanks!
