Thread: Project coochie razor

Sad to say but I actually have experience in this area...
I have a degree in medicine, and have worked and studied medicine for over a decade.
I've actually treated men with psychological issues who attempted to remove their "man parts"... usually with a razor blade...
It's actually harder to do than you would think, and depending on what/where/how deep they actually cut, it can be a relatively simple suture job, or something more complex.
In the context of an accidental cut while shaving, I'd wager the worst permanent damage likely would be sterility if the Vas differens were accidentally severed.

as for blood geyser, It's nasty oozy, and painful, but far from life threatening. The blood we get down there is more along the lines of veinous back wash... with the exception of a few very small arteries. I've yet to see anything in the way of life threatening blood loss from a severed penis.

also because we are "out there" and our parts are easily visible, a thick lather really can't hide anything important...

also too much confidence is what most often leads to cuts... I would rather have an less confident female shaving me than an overconfident male... regardless of where they are shaving...

You have to conceed that a woman allowing one of us to shave her in such a sensitive area is taking just as much risk as we would be to let her shave us... assuming she has at least some experience with a straight.

like I say, let her shave your face first...

Well, it wasn't I who made the "severed sausage" comment, or however it was phrased. No matter how sharp the razor, that'd take a bit of work, you're right. My point is simply that the area has quite a few veins, since it's blood central down there, and that they could be nicked with relative ease if the razor slipped, causing a bloody mess.

You're correcting me here and there, saying that it's "not life threatening," yet I never made the claim that it was. I only made the geyser comment and implied that there would be a lot of needless pain, since a safety razor is better suited for this task. I'm simply saying that it would be very dangerous for a woman to shave her guy due to the points I listed in my previous post -- plus the fact she'd likely have little (or at least less) experience with a straight razor than the man would.

Incidentally, there are documented cases of field surgeons in WWI and earlier (Boer War, Civil War, etc.) causing horrific damage, and even loss of life in an isolated incident or two, when, while cutting through the flesh of a leg in preparation to complete an amputation with the hand saw, the knife slipped and sliced off the soldier's genitals.

Huh?

I concede that both would require a good deal of trust, but not necessarily risk. It's a given that trust is going to be a factor, but risk is something that can only be qualified based on any number of variables. Emotional stability, skill, blood-alchohol content, experience, etc. Still, I'd have to say that getting someone to shave your genitals with a straight razor is inherently dangerous, since you can't account for everything that could happen. The basic equation probably looks something like this, though: Open blade + Genitals = Run!

I can't be convinced that a woman is taking on more risk than a guy in this regard, either. The simple fact that I'm male and not female makes it so. By contrast, a woman has far less to dodge than a man does, too. With her, you've simply got the mound, which makes up the bulk of the work, along with a bit more delicate shaving south of that. Piece of cake. Well... I'd still be a little nervous to attempt it, but I'll definitely give it a go some day.

Gosh, I love how easy you make it sound. The mound *isn't* the bulk of the work, in fact it's the quickest, easiest bit. It's everything else, with the combination of concave curves, extremely sensitive skin, and little room to maneuver a blade... *that's* the bulk of the work.

I see what you're saying, though, about there being a higher chance of damage when shaving male genitalia. At the same time, all of those convex surfaces that can be so easily sliced make getting a close shave *easier*. Shave away from the joints and don't cough.

The medial profession had been doing that very thing for many years, prior to "safety" and disposable razors. Pre-op prep shaves in every area were accomplished by using a straight razor and were done by nurses, techs etc., whom I'm sure did not have a Barber's license. So...I guess with a little caution, it could be accomplished. Judging from all of the body piercing one hears about, I can't imagine being shaved with a straight razor would impose any more of a cringe factor, not to mention pain!

That's the point, I've shaved male and female alike for surgical prep, usually we use a disposable electric when shaving near the private areas for "safety" reasons...
having done this on several occasions, and not being comfortable with either, I find that males are easier to shave with a small electric or disposable razor.

Females simply have more spots that you are likely to nick in the process.

as far as blood flow to the area, there really isn't a significant difference there.
as far as nerve endings that could be accidentally nicked, the man's nerve endings are much easier to move out of the way.

now keep in mind that for medical purposes a female is more likely to need "everything" shaved, where as a man is usually shaved in small patches.
and the females I've had to shave in the line of duty were all well past their expiration date. so it may be a bit different on a much younger female, but I still stand by my assertion that a woman'd have to be nutz to let any guy shave her taco with an exposed blade.

Good thing I already know I'm crazy, or I might get a little offended there.

oh man. this is the best thread, ever.

sorry ladies... no offense intended, but you have to admit the prospect of allowing an overzealous male; with what equates to the worlds sharpest knife; fiddle around in your nether regions, in an amateuristic attempt at hair removal... is insane.

The problem being he can't feel if he's doing it wrong, if he nicks you, or worse...
and from the nature of this thread even you can deduce he's already thinking of other things while he's shaving you...
One of the cardinal rules for a safe straight shave is "no distractions"

The very act of shaving his GF or significant other is going to distract him, and potentially limit the blood supply to his brain.


or was it the taco remark... I'm trying to exhaust the supply of euphemisms without saying or
