Thread: Best safety razor for ''downstairs''

Here I go again, probably being too honest for my own good.

I use my Braun hair cutter electric thing for the hair under the belly button - set it at about .5 and use a straight to shave the rest. All of it.

I'll give the same recommendation that I gave for shaving women down there - use more of a wedge grind, and preferably not a square tip. I've experimented with all, cause I've been doing it for years, and my favourite is a stubtail - the steel is softer. With women a larger blade is better because there's so much soap to remove, but for us a 5/8 is perfectly good.
Which hone? That's the really interesting part. As Bobski recently pointed out, a coti is very forgiving and I have never nicked myself after finishing on one.
And if you think your face enjoys an Escher, you are about to realise the true wonders of that stone.

Is it difficult or scary? It's exactly the same as shaving you face. Stretch before you shave and there's no problems. None at all. I do it in the shower, it takes about 5 minutes.
Is it weird? Do you want hair there or not? Yes, the first time I did it I felt like a pervert, a weirdo, and that I would go to hell forever, so I stopped until one day I got a girlfriend who was so beautifully manicured down there I quickly got the scissors and started trimming. And like most of us, always looking for something to shave, it didn't take long before the straights made it down there. Now I would never go back to having hair there.

How about a DE? I don't know, I've never tried. I suspect you'd be more likely to cut yourself with one of those due to the bulkiness, and the edge may cause irritation, but then again, it may be fine.

Soap? Funnily enough, just normal hand soap seems to work great. MWF works a treat, but lathering up with a brush is pushing it even for me. I'd be scared to use a cream - it's good to be able to see what you're doing, and a cream would cover everything up.
