Tips of the matter? I'd rather not accidentally cut off my manhood, and have to explain how that happened to my future wife... May just have to stick with the much safer cartridge razor. lol

Wait, what?
Seriously?
OK, well, if you're serious, I'd... no, nothing I can suggest is a good idea. I don't think people did this before modren cartridge razors. I don't recommend it.
I've heard of people using straight razors... But it sounds particularly hazardous.
DE maybe? My Weishi is hard to cut yourself with.
Ya....um....be vewy vewy careful.
I would suggest just trimming with an electric, but I'm not you.
Now I've been threatened to have one of my straight razors used below the belt, but I think we are talking about different things.;)
In the words of the immortal Eric Clapton and I quote
Let it grow
let it grow
Let it blossom
let it flow
In the sun
the rain
the snow
Love is lovely
let it grow.
Well as far as "below the belt" is concerned anyway.:w
ATG on the upper lip no longer seems like the fool's pass...
Well that may be safer, but far less attractive. Though no longer having anything isn't very attractive either. Yeah, I think I'll stick with my cartridge razor, even though its costing me a arm and a leg to pay for the new cartridges, at least its not costing me my favorite appendage.
If getting it to look like a pre pubescent boy down there is your goal, try a DE. Much MUCH safer for the soldier.
As that is the preferred look these days, that's what I'mma do. I may invest in a DE when I have some extra money laying around. Have to deal with my expensive cartridge razor in the mean time.
Check your local antique shop, I found my DE for 5$
Don't shave. that's not the best way to get what you want. There was a big article about the metrosexual lifestyle in the Philadelphia Inquirer a few years ago. Guys here in Philly go to the same salons that their girlfriends go to for a bikini wax. The guys they interviewed for the article said it didn't hurt and that the women who did the waxing were very professional about it.
Think about it. No mater what kind of razor you use, you aren't going to do a very good job on your scrotum. Waxing will remove every last hair and when it grows back, it won't be coarse like razor stubble.
And think of the benefits: inviting your sweetie to your salon for a "his 'n hers wax session" would be an awesome bonding moment! :rock:
Namaste,
Morty -_-
"Manscaping" is the term these days, or so I've heard. I would recommend a DE an extreme attention to detail. Good luck and don't worry about keeping us posted on your progress. :)
I think it's a really great idea, to make it a little more interesting maybe try it with a blindfold, whilst standing on roller skates, perhaps a few drinks first, just to settle the nerves too.
Have you ever heard of "The Darwin Awards" ???
Seriously,,, GIYF
Hey, I had it done and it cost about 30K. I had surgery to repair a couple hernias. Much to my surprise when I woke from the surgery, I had been manscaped!!!
of course they said that! they may be metrosexual, but they are still guys...:rofl2:
my personal view on the matter is trimming is fine, hairless is only for pre-pubecent boys and porn stars...and i wish to be neither. to the OP, just out of curiosity...who says that 10 year old is the preferred look? i'm always curious where people get their ideas of what is "the norm" and why no one questions whether or not the norm is just a ploy by some company to sell more razors, hot wax services, etc...
it's especially interesting when you combine that with traditional views of the "man's man". sean connery circa bond...eastwood...mcqueen...you try having this conversation with them, and they will laugh at you...then steal your woman :)
I did it with a DE. So a lot cheaper than doing it with cartridges. I purchased an old gillette for $10 and some Wilkinson's blades for about $2. I recommend getting used to the DE before using it down there. I thought about doing it with a straight and remembered the scar I have on my face. Hmm, I do not need a matching one on my member. I already have the circumcision one that is enough.
While I don't partake, I see no reason why a straight would be particularly risky. I would probably use a 4/8 or 3/8 as they are more manoeuvrable IMO but I see no greater potential for a serious injury than when shaving my neck.
ReardenSteel is correct. Back in '77 I was in an unhelmetted motorcycle accident. When the hospital sent me the bill at the end of the month, there was a line item charging me more than a dentist would charge for a dental exam in the ER (which occurred while I was still unconscious). Most likely someone just shined a penlight inside my mouth to make certain there weren't any tooth fragments floating around that could block my airway.
given the subject of this thread I find seeing the words accident and unhelmetted in the same sentence a little unsettling :dropjaw:
I was 24 y/o. Translation: young, stoopid, and I believed I was bulletproof and would live forever. BUT I DON'T WANT TO GO OFF TOPIC!
To the OP: avoiding an "accident" is the reason I recommended waxing in lieu of shaving. For $5.99 you can purchase this waxing for men kit to do the deed in the privacy of your own home. Looks like it comes with enough supplies to do what you want to do several times, but YMMV.
Jesus H. Keeerist, and his brother Earnie! I get nervous just stropping naked.
Agreed!
To the OP.
I once had a patient come in by ambulance with his hand superglued to his scrotum. How you ask? Well he decided to cut off a small mole from his scrotum with a bowie knife. Yes, alcohol was definately invloved. He was 38 and living with mom. He had cut quite a large piece of his scrotum off leaving a large and bloody hole to the "boys in the sack". Next bright idea????? Use superglue as he had seen it on ER...... Thats when EMT's were called....
My advice unless you are wanting to end up on the darwin awards is get some clippers. If you think shaving your chin is hard wait till you try the boys!!!
Nothing beats a home waxing
Sorry, slightly off topic but hillarious
I have to say it is the preferred style nowadays. I have thought about this before and even been a little nervous about bringing the de down that way. A splash of old spice might bring some sting as well!
Safety all the way. lol.
I am having a hard time envisioning this. Where would you stop? Having a bald spot in the middle would look quite weird. But I suppose that is the point.
In my opinion if you don't have enough self confidence to use a razor there you shouldn't be trusting yourself near your face.
If the Old Spice stings don't use it!
Back in my pornstar days,this was a very common thing to do:)
Dude, get some nair..
Or Veet or maybe not Amazon.co.uk: Andrew's review of Veet for Men Hair Removal Gel Creme 200 ml
lol, this is hilarious. I have to say I tried with the DE once. Wouldn't do it again. I'll stick with the fusion styler to get the trim done lol.
