OK I don’t post much anymore. But after two votes for NAIR, I have to put my $0.02 CDN in….
Nair provided me with THE MOST PAINFUL EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!!! I tried it on a patch on my arm, and there was no problem, so I went ahead and slathered up my scrotum and shaft. BIG HUGE MISTAKE. It would have hurt less if I had stuck my gonads in the deep fryer after a long day at McDonalds. And it took over a month to heal.
But obviously there are those who use it without problem, so I’m not saying don’t try. But do it in baby steps. try a little dab on a not so sensitive part first, like the top of the shaft.
Personally I tweeze my shaft down to the base. The first few times may seem painful, but once you learn to pull with the direction of the hair, and maybe have a micky of whisky nearby, you won’t even notice it. Also I got the tweezers with a sort of sandpaper-like grip on the tips, so the hair never slips out (which can be unnecesarily painful). Then I treat the shaft with some polysporin to prevent ingrown hairs. It seems to work well for me. I used to get ingrowns all the time until I read about the polysporin on this site. I also use my beard trimmer on my pubic patch and scrotum. Just to make it look less like wild shrubbery, not to get really close.
I did try the electric shaver, and yes it did work. But I really disliked the feeling of stuble down there. I’d rather have the soft tip of a newly grown hair after tweezing.
Someday in the distant future, when I’m rich and prosperous, I plan on getting electrolysis, or maybe laser treatment. That will settle the matter permanently, and I’ll never again be hunched over for 30 minutes staring at my dick, unless it has weights hanging from it.
