Thread: Shaving Elsewheres...

I haven't started using a straight yet, but plan to keep my Mach 3 around for elsewheres, probably indefinitely.

I have shave my chest and abs numerous times with my straights...it is actually easier to me, than my face. As for the nethers...ive done it once and although it was successful, i was a mental mess afterwards. lol

mac

Now what about safety razors for chest and down stairs? It seems like it would be a better choice... again, doesn't seem like it would clog or get stuck full of hair.

Maybe you guys can help me out a little here. I can see shaving your back, and your chest and abs if they are hairy. I can see shaving your legs (I understand it makes them cooler in the summer). I can even understand trimming your pubes to be shorter if they are particular bushy (wouldn't want to poke anyones eyes out), but I just don't understand why anyone would want to shave "elsewheres".

Short answer: Some people really like it. REALLY. I was involved with a young lady that didn't really care if it was shaved down there or not. But lets just say if it was, that was appreciated to a degree that has me blushing nearly 20 years later just thinking about it.
I also know men, both straight and gay who simply can't stand hair there on themselves or their partners.

It sounds refreshing.


Still don't have any reason too, though : P

a nice DE works well in the lower areas of the male anatomy as for the straight tried it once and all I have to say is this DON'T DO IT MAN one little slip and....... well everythig is still there but its not nice. And the insult to the injury is you cant.... we will just say your significat other will be fairly ****ed

I shave the back of my neck without a mirror without any problems. I would think anywhere else would be fine. Even for the bait and tackle I think that you'd be alright. Granted, you may get a nick but if you're careful it's probably gentler than electric clippers for trimming (the idea of a machined blade is less controlled than a human controlled edge). Not to mention if you're using enough pressure that you'd actually cut something off then your technique isn't refined enough to be shaving your bits anyways (unless you have a wirebeard lol).

Well, I"m married and my wife has never been at risk of poking her eyes out. However, I had to shave the family jewels myself when I got my vasectomy and I was very nervous using a twin blade cartridge razor. When the hairs grew back it was itchy down there until they got some length. It's not something I would want to do on a regular basis.

I can say this, if you nick yourself down there, the bleeding is pretty free flowing no matter what you use to shave with.
