I have shaved my shaft and balls for many years. Smooth balls are much nicer for the wife, you know. A fresh blade is critical for not getting razor burn, which I’ve been mostly able to avoid. The problem with shaving is how fast stubble comes back, so lately I’ve been waxing. I got hooked by the Epilstop commercial on TV. They have a cream product that is wipe on wipe off, supposedly. I thought I was ordering it but got traditional hot wax instead, so I tried it. Well, it wasn’t painless like the commercial promised, but after I got used to it I started liking it better than shaving. The hot wax feels good and you just have to practice with ripping it off fast. A few seconds of mild pain will get you a long time of very smooth skin. The feel is much better than I get from shaving since the follicles are gone and I only wax now about once a month. The hairs regenerate slowly and they do seem to be finer than they were before. I bought online from IGIA.com I believe, though you could probably buy at the store as well. I ordered the cream for the wife, as shaving her results in anoying stubble in a short time, but it didn’t seem to work and has so many warnings about skin irritation, especially regarding mucous membranes. She says she’s ready to be waxed, so this weekend we’ll give it a try. Here’s to hoping!
