Does anyone here shave their ''private area'' with a safety razor? So far I've used trimmers. I'm worried about the nicks and cuts and also a safety razor blades is a little to wide(almost 45 mm ) to use in that area.

Hey Alex, didn't you shave that area last year with A DE? I just read over your posts for the last year & this issue of shaving your "private parts" has been covered a few times,,,, just saying :shrug:
I don't shave mine BTW, I don't want the undertaker seeing me that way when they put me in the box.
I suggest you do it slowly ,deliberately & pay attention,,,, just pretend like your shaving your face.
You could always cheat & use a disposable,,,,
Good luck Alex,,,,
I would highly recommend you look at an electric body groomer from Norelco. Razor burn on the private parts is very painful.
I always used a disposable. I asked on tips on how to use a DE, but never actually did.Quote:

Besides entering search terms and reviewing older topics (don't overlook the phrase "down there"), you might look through the Ladies Corner, where the topic comes up occasionally.
With a mild razor and blade, I can pretty much DE shave my face blindfolded, so I don't think it should be much of a problem.
Ok, I'll admit it... I DID shave "down there" with a straight once just to see if I could. I have all the kids I want already, so I figured it was worth trying. And it worked - quite well actually. With that said, I still use electric or disposable. Takes a lot of time/patience to use a bare razor "down there".
What's that old saying, the right tool for the right job?
They have specialized trimmers for that.
Did you do it?
This is one area where a safety razor is way better then a straight or cartridge. Prep is just as important as it is when shaving your face. I use my wife's Dove soap(no brush, no lather) and my 37c with a mild blade like a Derby. Lots of stretching! There is a learning curve, but if its something you do regularly with cartridges, its not a huge difference.
Good thing I visited this forum. I've read your suggestions on electric razor. Been looking for an answer to the same question, now I finally got it. Thanks!
