Hair growing on base

Maybe I never noticed it but I think hair is starting to grow at the base of my unit. I çan’t shave it because the stubble will irritate my wife.

Anyone have this issue because of PEing and anyone have any good solutions?

I shave it and it’s not a problem—every 2-3 days and no stubble. If I let it grow out, the stubble is pretty soft after about a week.

I have really coarse hair so even a trim irritates her.

OK, this will make you cringe, but it works great. I actually learned it here years ago.

Do you have a reasonable pain threshold? And do you have a pair of tweezers? If you answered “yes” to both of these questions, then you may wish to consider plucking the bastard hairs out. Yes, it’s not very comfortable, but if you (a) keep the skin taught where you are plucking and (b) have a little faith that endorphins do kick in after a while, you will have a desirably smooth shaft for over a month. When the hairs grow back, they come in naturally, not like stubble, and are usually even a little finer then they were before. Some guys won’t consider this, I know, but if you’re willing to give it a shot, it’s much better than shaving!

Not recommended for your balls, though. It makes me teary eyed just to think about it.

Remember: the trick is to pull the skin tight around where you’re plucking.

You need to tweeze the hairs. It takes me about 90 minutes to be completely satisfied with it. You could always use an acne wash with salicylic acid as that will deter hair growth long term. You can also try Nair for men.

EZ.. Ouch. I think that would be a last resort.

Springer have you tried Nair for men? Sounds scary putting those chemicals around the goods.

Anyone try wax? Must be painful, but only for a few seconds (instead of 90 minutes)

I got a girl to wax my balls a while back.

It didn’t work.

LOL

Hurt a bit and left big clumps, with, literally, no hairs taken out. Apparently it’s because the skin is so loose I rang up a salon but it costs $60 (Australian) for males.

I tired using nair for a while, but now it’s grown back I’m a hairy bastard

Either:
1) a wet shave in the shower around your base then a dry shave on the balls is quick and your whole package feels like velvet for a few days.

or

2) tweeze with care and attention. Yes it’s time consuming but the results last for over a week. Plus the more you do it, the less painful it seems.

or

3) Save some money and get the hair lasered off. Whip out that mean flaccid infront of the beautician!!

I shave my shaft and balls everyday, it’s just a part of the showering routine, and I do not have stubble, I too, am a hairy bastard. If I let it go 2 days, than yes there is stubble, and my wife lets me know about it, as it also irritates her. I do not use soap or any kind of shaving gel, just wet em’ down and have at it. Also, don’t use your blade for more than a month, a new blade makes one hell of a difference! Good luck.

I am seriously considering option #3. In the meantime, I’m a dedicated shaver/groomer. I clip leg hair with a #1 gaurd every month, shave lower back, asshole, package, stomach, chest every day, and shave facial hair 2x daily. All shaving done with Mach III razor.

Lasering the pubes will be cool though because they absolutely have to be done every day lest ingrown hairs start to crop up.

Has anyone here ever lasered their pubes? How long did you have to wait to get back to PE after a treatment?

Try these products guys, the work wanders.

The plucking sounds like a good idea. I shave w/ trimmers leaving it about 1/8” long which allows me to be fairly comfortable.

I’ve also noticed hair growing on my shaft, when there wasn’t any earlier.

I’m not sure if it is because of the skin having stretched due to PE, or just part of getting older and hairier

I’m going to pluck! Like the idea.

Good luck
with the pluck

Just remember:
use one hand to tighten the skin (stretching it outwards from where the hair is you’re plucking) while the other tweezes.

Also, I advise having really good light on your shaft while you’re doing this - makes it much easier.

In response to concerns about time, it only takes me 20 minutes once every month or two.
