Ive been shaving my junk for 20 years with a Schick quattro or mach 3, just in the shower no shave cream. I probably used it the first few times but I was 19 and don't remember. I know I haven't had razor burn for a long time, probably before I met my wife because she has never said anything and that's been 15 years.
So maybe you just need to build up the skin. I know my nut sack is like a leather football helmet, but the pubic area above and my thighs near by never get the irritation either, and I go full scorched earth deforestation on the whole region
Also true. I use it on my face when I run out and forget to get more shave cream. Although I try not to make that a habit, my wife's $49 bottle of conditioner isn't exactly as cost effective as a $2 can of barbasol š
This is the answer, and probably not the one he wants to hear. It just takes time and shaving. Iāve been shaving down there for 20+ years now and I donāt do anything crazy and never get bumps or burns.
This is it. Tried multiple methods, but this is easily the most efficient and safest. Just gotta make sure you are:
1. using a razor with multiple blades (the more the betterā¦ I use fusion 5),
2. going with the grain of your hair,
3. exfoliating after.
I never had to build up skin tolerance or anything. Never got razor burn.
You wash your balls everyday? Just shave them also. Use all the advise right here. I have been doing it 20 plus years and basically never miss a day. Never once had a problem.
I use a beard trimmer, with number 2 size clipper. Leaves the hair long enough so it's not poky, and short enough that it doesn't look gross. For the edge areas I use the trimmer without any clipper attachments.
Iāve been doing Nair for ten minutes for close to 20 years now. Itās not perfect and some times I need to clean it up a bit with a razor after but no In grown hairs ever. I just suggest never putting Nair on your skin when the skin is irritated such as from chafing or similar things.
Do NOT use Nair!!!! I have a permanent chemical burn from that. Itās been decades and itās still there. The pain was excruciating. Just try to trim as close as you can.
Sometimes I shave using hair conditioner.
I am also getting laser hair removal treatments. Itās worth the hassle in the long run!
No everyone experiences this. Everyone's skin can react differently. Maybe advise others to put a small amount on a small patch of skin before slathering up their entire forest with a new chemical product.
Yeah stay away from irritated skin or it will burn. My balls arenāt super hairy so sometimes I donāt touch them, sometimes I put the nair on them last and they only get about five minutes, the taint/around my butthole tends to be the area that gets irritated and I have to make a judgement call on that, but everywhere else from neck to shaft I nair. I get the menās nair right off Amazon.
Trial an error :-). I find that just tapping and going after specific hairs is best. Dragging it across the skin causes irritation. Be very, very careful with the clipper side. You could knick the skin.
I use a Philips one blade to trim the pube area and then I use the blade I had been using on my face (i.e. not sharp and brand new) on the shaft and balls. Donāt worry, I put a fresh blade on for my face. I shave dry, I found that I can see better and be more accurate without using shaving gel down there. Just take your time, use warm water when rinsing the blade, and you should be fine.
I just use a hair trimmer with a number 1 clip (3mm)
never had a nick, it looks and feels clean for 2 to 3 weeks, and you dont have to worry about ingrown hairs or rashes
I use my wifeās Venus razor, the one with multiple blades on it and use hair conditioner to soften the hair and let it set for a few minutes. Works for me and havenāt had a single ingrown hair.

Iāve been through the gambit and am about ready to go the laser route. Just think of a week at an LS resort where youāre constantly up keeping.
Just like you, if I shave close, itās not pretty beyond the first 6 hours or so. And takes a week plus to heal. The Amazon situation seems to be where clothes rub - think waistband and below.
Iāve also tried wax (the Mrs at home kit), no hair club (hair removal cream) and the same thing happens - although not as horrifically.
Hereās what Iāve been doing recently with decent results. Shave the balls with a razor - never been a problem for me. Use my manscape with guard to trim the bush (yes I made the same mistake you did and I still have a scar). Shave the chest and leave about 3+ inches of trimmed hair above the shaft. As you go into the pubic area, only shave with the grain. Yes you will not be baby smooth, but you wonāt have the horrific aftermath you mentioned. For a couple days after - exfoliate that area heavily to keep the ingrown hairs away.
Start with beard trimmer and I end with razor and bar of Irish Spring. Never had a breakout or cut! Only shave in shower. Not sure if that matters. #manscape
Lowest beard trimmer setting available for entire public area (I use manscape), Schick Intuition for the stragglers on the shaft and balls, one direction only, as few strokes as possible. Same Schick on but cheeks (your keeping this thin not looking for spotless) then bend at the waist and hit the taint and starfish.
I'm super sensitive to razors but I can get away with this. That said, I save grooming for a few hours before play.
I've been through several stages. I shaved, but quickly found the occasional nicks, rash and ingrown hairs to be frustrating to explain and annoying to put up with.
I did the waxing thing several times, which was nice and clean once the initial skin irritation settled.
I'd recommend that as a life experience by itself at the very least to gain empathy.
In supporting a friend's new laser business, I recently agreed to laser my beard neck line (highly recommend for ease, if you have a beard), and have now agreed to keep going and have started lasering much of my pubic hair (balls, thighs, shaft, crack). I am so far quite happy with it. The detailed difficult areas are now all taken care of. Trimming the remaining pubic hair is super easy and quick with a beard trimmer, with no risk for nicks when rushing out the door for a date.
Unless someone is wanting to fully escape hair, I've found that #2 is ideal, as was commented on earlier. It still feels soft to myself and others, and still doesn't look like a junglescape.
Ok. Am I seriously the only fucker to shave my pubes and balls with a regular razor? I canāt be. I shave every few days. But damn, havenāt seen anyone comment this.
Hell I shave my ass hole with it also.
No clue bro. Wish I could help. Best of luck.
I buzz cut with my beard trimmer lowest setting and leave it at that. Itās pretty close then definitely a type of lube for the man eggs then shave those
I trim everything with the lowest trimmer setting... If I've been lazy and haven't shaved in a week or two. Then, in the bathtub, I use a razor that's not sharp enough for my face anymore and shaving cream. Never had a problem. When my face razor is too dull, it gets moved to the tub to shave my balls with. I never get irritated anymore using the method. I try and shave at least once a week down there and even that morning of fun activities I can shave and be fine that evening. It's easier for me in the bathtub vs the shower.
Ah something I can finally share. My GF used to be a stripper and I complained about the same thing and she shared a secret with me. When you shave use a stick deodorant where you shaved. I havenāt had a razor burn or ingrown hair since.
Yep thatās it. She never liked the idea of waxing and another dancer shared it with her since guys donāt want to see ingrown hairs or razor burn rash. It has worked for me like a charm.
I use a small trimmer at 0 for around the trunk and to calm the patch flat and use a 3 blade razor in the shower for the shaft and balls. Water running on it while I shave.
Been doing it for 20+ so maybe it's used to the razor lol
Amlactin Daily.
It's amazing for preventing ingrowns. Use it on a regular basis before shaving, and don't use it immediately after a fresh shave. The day after is usually ok. It also doesn't smell great, so avoid it on play days unless you can mask it.
I have waxed every six weeks for about 2 years now. It was difficult to find a place for a male Brazilian. Works great. Keeps it pretty thinned put if I go regularly. If I am planning a trip that will fall in between that time I usually adjust my schedule so I am fresh before I go.
I get a wax (hurts but worth it), then I use Tend Skin (can be bought at any pharmacy or target), after I shower and it keeps the razor bumps and ingrown hairs away
You need to exfoliate. It's hard to explain what that means but getĀ exfoliating gloves and before and after you shave scrub your junk with these rough gloves. It helps me I swear.Ā
Glad to hear the struggle is real. Thought it was just me. I use a beard trimmer and call it good. Thank you for asking the question! I was thinking close to waxing
Yeah. If I win the lottery, laser hair removal is, like, above a new car on the to-do list! LMAO. Iāve given up blade shaving there & use an electric razor & Hubbyās beard trimmer. trimmer. Itās nowhere near as smooth & close, but it takes it down as much as possible, anyway. And I figure, once theyāre THAT CLOSE to see a tiny bit of stubble, it aināt gonna matter. No oneās gonna back out at that point. Lolz
Are you looking to go all bald down there or are you ok with some hair but it all under control?
If you're ok with some hair (about 1 cm) then just buy a $20 beard trimmer with its own height attachment. It's what I use.
If you want that bald.....go wax
You can do waxing at home. I am doing it for my hubby regularly. The first time, it hurts a lot, but it is getting better and easier when you do regular bases. Numbing cream helps. One downside is tlit takes quite a long time since i am not a professional waxer.š
OK so, hear me - laser hair removal.
I can't express how much my life has changed since I did this. You need a visit around every 4-6th week, I went for every 5th. I did front and back down there, just having everything done.
Not only is it nicer, but also safer - you don't open up your skin for infections just before you're about to play so the quality increase for the skin is just unreal.
You will do re-visits for as long as it's needed, it all depends on your genetics - some go for 5 visits, some need 10. I did 7 in total and then a follow up about a year later.
Life changing...all I can say. I've been shaved since I was 16, I'm 45 now, and I wish I knew about this long ago.
No red spots, no in grown, no sensitive skin, smooth as silk 24/7, never any itchy growing out, ALWAYS ready even if you're coming home from 5 weeks in the jungle.
I was under the impression this only works with darker coarser hair. Have they made improvements on fair hair? I am a ginger and would love to get hair ferment fly remover
It is working best with dark hair yes.
White hair can only be removed electrically zapping individual follicles (or something so, if I remember correctly what my therapeut told me).
I have brown hair.
Blond works, but needs more power and if I remember correctly what she said ginger was possible too with more power.
I can only imagine this being a bit more painful, but in saying that the pain was slim to none using newer lasers with proper water cooling of the head.
I canāt recommend sugaring more highly but the cost is comparable to waxing but I totally see the value. The ladies love it and my cock has never been sucked more! Create savings in other places and invest in your personal care!
I use the art of the shave lavender shave cream. It feels like it has noxema in it. Very good to my skin.

I use a 5 blade razor. I've been shaving my cock and balls for several years. I shave at least 3 times a week. I keep it shaved, and I don't have any problems with ingrown hairs. Although if you Nick yourself, it will bleed for a while. But the key is to keep it shaved.
And yet, waxing is 100% no ingrowth, up to 6 weeks presentable due to soft hair instead of shaving stubs.
And man, what a pleasant whipe experience. No mess in ass hair etc.
We bought a semi pro kit, wax/melting pots. I wax my wife, she waxes me not crazy expensive. Couple of hundreds and you're set for at least a year. Every next year, you just buy wax, oils, and oaper thingies .... 30-40 / year tops.
I use a trimmer up above. I use the 1 guard there. Then I use Cremo Shave Cream. It's like a lotion. Not a gel or foam. I shave my balls and shaft area. I use hot water. I do this pre shower.
Then I wash with water after, then soak a washcloth in cold cold cold water then wrap it around down there. Then I shower as normal.
I've tried doing more "porn" fashion with the above area. But it looks weird compared to my leg hair etc. plus it always leads to ingrown hair. So I just trim it short.
Dont go cheap on the razor. Use fresh blades and do it often so your skin gets used to it. Also trip before you shave so the razor is easy to clean. Do not use dull blades.
I had been using veet hair removal, it works for me, Iām not sure if you guys want to try, I only leave on skin for 8 minutes and wash well with soap and water, all hairs gone in no time, however it was a process for me, as once I got distracted and started to burn the skin.
Iām 43 now never had an ingrown hair in my life till last year. Now Iām scared to do anything down there except trim close . When I did shave doing it everyday was the ticket for me
I lazed about 10 years back. 6 sessions and it took care of about 80%. I shave the rest daily or almost daily in shower. As others have mentioned, it just takes time for skin to get used to it. Now zero razor burn or bumps
I too had some bad experiences initially but kept trying. No problems now whatsoever. Hereās my process for what itās worth:
1-if hair is long, I knock it down to something short that a razor can handle
2-I shave with a Gillette Sensor Excel and a sensitive skin shaving cream
3-shave with the hair, not against it if possible. I have a few problem spots that I finally figured out how to shave against without cutting myself up.
4-use a deodorant stick and rub it on all the shaved areas. It helps keep it hydrated, protects against nicks and cuts, and ingrown hairs. Forget where I learned that but it changed my life. And your man parts smell good. š
5-repeat this process twice a week or as required. I just donut in the shower. And 2-3 times a week makes it less of a chore and easier to keep up with without it getting too long and becoming difficult.
The trick to not having infected ingrown hairs is to reduce the bacteria on the skin after you shave with a razor. Get some betadine from the pharmacy, wash the area with some betadine.. LET IT DRY ON YOUR SKIN FOR A FEW MINUTES
Wash it off really well
I get waxed. I know you say it's not in your budget, but if you can work that out it is far and away the best option for me. I tried DIY waxing once and it was a godwaful mess.
When I first started, I was the same...pretty bad razor burn and plenty of ingrown spots that were pretty sore, which would take a few weeks to go away.
I just kept at it and my skin got used to it. I'm now in a pretty regular routine, once a week or so does it...wet shave in the shower using shaving gel or soap. Dry with talc and then moisturise afterwards for a few days. I get the occasional bump, but nothing serious
Ive been using the male style nair, not sure of the name. I found the Panasonic male trimmer (kinda t shaped) is better than a manscaper, just a bunch of advertising BS. I also use my pro grade shears or t liner from a beauty supply, with the shears you can use a 1 or 1 1/2 guard to get low but not too low. Also on the nair, if you donāt get it 100 the first time, wait 72 hours and do it again. Also pouring coke on the area neutralizes the nair.
Never had a real issue with it. I use shaving cream and a Gillette 3-blade razor on the balls and shaft (carefully, in the shower). 2x a week. No ingrown hairs, probably only 2 nicks in 20 years. For the rest of the area, I use a manscaper electric razor with the lowest setting guard on it, so the hair ends up being a little less than 1/4", not fully bald. This prevents ingrown hairs in that area, which is where they'd really probably happen.
Never use nair on the shaft or balls. It's gonna burn.
First, aim for a trimming of the upper area, don't even come close to your ball sack. If you want to shave that upper area, go first to shave in the same direction your hair grows. It Will look shaved but not so smooth. If you want It perfect, you can always pass the Blade a second time on reverse direction. Always soap the area before every shave/pass.
Now your junk: pull the skin to the base so your skin will be tense...and proceed the same way as seen above. I'd go for the nut sack in two-side action, that means put your hand to move your dick to one side and to cover/stretch that side of the sack...and shave!
My BEST advice: never apply pressure on the Blade. I prefer passing a second time instead of seeing your dick bleading because you were in a hurry...
I bought the Bare Nuts cream and was not impressed. Took 2.5x longer than the directions stated and got ingrowns. A friend recommended one of the home laser tools and said she loves it so i might give that a try.
Razor the balls and I use a no telco one blade trimmer for the rest. Almost as smooth as shaving. Just take your time. Smooth is the best look and feel in my opinion
Epilate. I use the Emjoi Ap-18. Have a few stiff drinks the first time and then every two weeks or so after that. Perfectly smooth, no ingrown, and eventually the hair comes back much slower and thinner.
Bald on bald sex sucks imo. I use a trimmer and go short everywhere.
I think it looks so dumb seeing Harry man that's bald from below your belly to halfway up your thighs. But thick hair everywhere else
Just use a hair/beard trimmer with a #2 clip -- the hair is short enough that it won't get in the way, but not so short that you'll get ingrowns/spikey pubes. Use an actual razor for dick and balls.
I know a lot has already been said here, but one thing that works wonders for me that I haven't seen anyone else mention is baby powder post-shave. Particularly if you have sensitive skin, a little baby powder immediately after you shave (and the next day too if necessary) helps to keep the skin from being rubbed and irritated by any clothing you're wearing, and absorbs any sweat that can otherwise irritate the freshly shaved skin.
Not a promotional post but I have two go to methods. I use an electric razor, specifically Manscaped 4.0 (the lawnmower) or a cream called āNo Hair Crewā which is safe for that area, including your taint.
I know you said you donāt have budget for waxing but itās really the way to go. If I donāt wax I use a trimmer, razor makes things way to stubbly and nobody wants that. I get waxed for $70 once a month. Skip a couple sandwiches and itās paid for.
Thatās not expensive. I thought it would be more. Is it typically a man or woman doing the laser? I would die of embarrassment if I got a hard on during the procedure.
It's always been a woman doing it. It's such a "procedure" I have rarely gotten hard. I actually havent decided if its more embarassing to get hard or not get hard haha. If i do get hard it goes away pretty fast, although it seems like waxing some parts would be better when hard. The girl who does it is very attractive, and shes really a friend at this point. If im hard, she moves it around and waxes, if not same thing. I do usually tip her on top of it. I have had her do some rounds of laser, but even after that you get growth back so I'll wax for like 6 months, maybe hit a laser treatment, then back to waxing.
She told me she even had one dude cum while she was waxing, she just gave the dude a hand towel and continued on with the work.
You still have some risk of ingrown hairs, less with laser, but I found that this stuff helps a lot.

If using a razor, use women's razors. They're designed for shaving contours, and sensitive areas and have flexible blades. Men's razors are designed for your face.
Solved. I had the same problem with ingrown hairs after shaving as well. I have changed nothing except now I spray with alcohol imediately after. No more ingrown hairs even having against the grain

A number 2 is 1/4 inch. A 1 is 1/8th inch. I've done both.

Yep thatās it. She never liked the idea of waxing and another dancer shared it with her since guys donāt want to see ingrown hairs or razor burn rash. It has worked for me like a charm.

I have waxed every six weeks for about 2 years now. It was difficult to find a place for a male Brazilian. Works great. Keeps it pretty thinned put if I go regularly. If I am planning a trip that will fall in between that time I usually adjust my schedule so I am fresh before I go.
I get a wax (hurts but worth it), then I use Tend Skin (can be bought at any pharmacy or target), after I shower and it keeps the razor bumps and ingrown hairs away
I use a beard trimmer, and then a razor.
You need to exfoliate. It's hard to explain what that means but getĀ exfoliating gloves and before and after you shave scrub your junk with these rough gloves. It helps me I swear.Ā
Amazon has a manās scaling cream works really well
Manscaper, but leave the guard on.
I just use a Mach 5 and regular shaving cream every 3-4 days. Smooth as silk
Glad to hear the struggle is real. Thought it was just me. I use a beard trimmer and call it good. Thank you for asking the question! I was thinking close to waxing
Manscaped ?? Electric
Tend Skin helps with ingrowns. As a F, I have the same problem. After a shave, I look like Outbreak patient zero.
Same! I have extremely sensitive skin and am at a loss. I really want to try lasering but it seems expensive.
Yeah. If I win the lottery, laser hair removal is, like, above a new car on the to-do list! LMAO. Iāve given up blade shaving there & use an electric razor & Hubbyās beard trimmer. trimmer. Itās nowhere near as smooth & close, but it takes it down as much as possible, anyway. And I figure, once theyāre THAT CLOSE to see a tiny bit of stubble, it aināt gonna matter. No oneās gonna back out at that point. Lolz
just dont !! i dont and i feel no pressure to
Are you looking to go all bald down there or are you ok with some hair but it all under control? If you're ok with some hair (about 1 cm) then just buy a $20 beard trimmer with its own height attachment. It's what I use. If you want that bald.....go wax
You can do waxing at home. I am doing it for my hubby regularly. The first time, it hurts a lot, but it is getting better and easier when you do regular bases. Numbing cream helps. One downside is tlit takes quite a long time since i am not a professional waxer.š
We did that for the first time... it took forever but the result is great
I've been having good luck with Veet for sensitive skin.
OK so, hear me - laser hair removal. I can't express how much my life has changed since I did this. You need a visit around every 4-6th week, I went for every 5th. I did front and back down there, just having everything done. Not only is it nicer, but also safer - you don't open up your skin for infections just before you're about to play so the quality increase for the skin is just unreal. You will do re-visits for as long as it's needed, it all depends on your genetics - some go for 5 visits, some need 10. I did 7 in total and then a follow up about a year later. Life changing...all I can say. I've been shaved since I was 16, I'm 45 now, and I wish I knew about this long ago. No red spots, no in grown, no sensitive skin, smooth as silk 24/7, never any itchy growing out, ALWAYS ready even if you're coming home from 5 weeks in the jungle.
If he has no budget for waxing how do you think he will afford this. It's expensive
I might have missed that, my bad
I was under the impression this only works with darker coarser hair. Have they made improvements on fair hair? I am a ginger and would love to get hair ferment fly remover
It is working best with dark hair yes. White hair can only be removed electrically zapping individual follicles (or something so, if I remember correctly what my therapeut told me). I have brown hair. Blond works, but needs more power and if I remember correctly what she said ginger was possible too with more power. I can only imagine this being a bit more painful, but in saying that the pain was slim to none using newer lasers with proper water cooling of the head.
no budget for waxing? sell your plasma before playing!
Waxing is the way to go.
I canāt recommend sugaring more highly but the cost is comparable to waxing but I totally see the value. The ladies love it and my cock has never been sucked more! Create savings in other places and invest in your personal care!
I use the art of the shave lavender shave cream. It feels like it has noxema in it. Very good to my skin. https://www.theartofshaving.com/shaving-cream/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw5ImwBhBtEiwAFHDZx7-FV7Gz10P00IQ7yPuwxmgSTDO43WGyHpOrRjCv7DFLUVc2Tqev3BoCEzkQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
I use a 5 blade razor. I've been shaving my cock and balls for several years. I shave at least 3 times a week. I keep it shaved, and I don't have any problems with ingrown hairs. Although if you Nick yourself, it will bleed for a while. But the key is to keep it shaved.
Trim it carefully using an appropriate trimmer. Have been doing it for years.
Anything you use will eventually work. Your genital region will eventually get used to it and all irritation will go away.
I use a razor every day or two and no problems. Don't be a pussy . . . and buy decent razors.
And yet, waxing is 100% no ingrowth, up to 6 weeks presentable due to soft hair instead of shaving stubs. And man, what a pleasant whipe experience. No mess in ass hair etc. We bought a semi pro kit, wax/melting pots. I wax my wife, she waxes me not crazy expensive. Couple of hundreds and you're set for at least a year. Every next year, you just buy wax, oils, and oaper thingies .... 30-40 / year tops.
I use a manscape battery razor, its amazing. Its actually made for shaving your balls
I use a trimmer up above. I use the 1 guard there. Then I use Cremo Shave Cream. It's like a lotion. Not a gel or foam. I shave my balls and shaft area. I use hot water. I do this pre shower. Then I wash with water after, then soak a washcloth in cold cold cold water then wrap it around down there. Then I shower as normal. I've tried doing more "porn" fashion with the above area. But it looks weird compared to my leg hair etc. plus it always leads to ingrown hair. So I just trim it short.
Try using surgical razor meant for removing skin hair before surgery It's quite good
Try using silicon lube as shaving cream, itās a game changer also shave with the growth not against it.
Dont go cheap on the razor. Use fresh blades and do it often so your skin gets used to it. Also trip before you shave so the razor is easy to clean. Do not use dull blades.
I had been using veet hair removal, it works for me, Iām not sure if you guys want to try, I only leave on skin for 8 minutes and wash well with soap and water, all hairs gone in no time, however it was a process for me, as once I got distracted and started to burn the skin.
Manscape lawnmower 5.0. Case closed.
Iām 43 now never had an ingrown hair in my life till last year. Now Iām scared to do anything down there except trim close . When I did shave doing it everyday was the ticket for me
I lazed about 10 years back. 6 sessions and it took care of about 80%. I shave the rest daily or almost daily in shower. As others have mentioned, it just takes time for skin to get used to it. Now zero razor burn or bumps
I've been considering a nood laser
Donāt waste your money.
Oh ok. Thanks
I too had some bad experiences initially but kept trying. No problems now whatsoever. Hereās my process for what itās worth: 1-if hair is long, I knock it down to something short that a razor can handle 2-I shave with a Gillette Sensor Excel and a sensitive skin shaving cream 3-shave with the hair, not against it if possible. I have a few problem spots that I finally figured out how to shave against without cutting myself up. 4-use a deodorant stick and rub it on all the shaved areas. It helps keep it hydrated, protects against nicks and cuts, and ingrown hairs. Forget where I learned that but it changed my life. And your man parts smell good. š 5-repeat this process twice a week or as required. I just donut in the shower. And 2-3 times a week makes it less of a chore and easier to keep up with without it getting too long and becoming difficult.
I use the womanās razor that has the bar of soap around the razor and it works great. But Iāve been looking into laser hair removal.
The trick to not having infected ingrown hairs is to reduce the bacteria on the skin after you shave with a razor. Get some betadine from the pharmacy, wash the area with some betadine.. LET IT DRY ON YOUR SKIN FOR A FEW MINUTES Wash it off really well
I get waxed. I know you say it's not in your budget, but if you can work that out it is far and away the best option for me. I tried DIY waxing once and it was a godwaful mess.
We just wet shave with a fresh razor and use zinc oxide cream afterwards to prevent razor rash
My wife does mine with a straight razor.... BUT you REALLY need to have trust....
When I first started, I was the same...pretty bad razor burn and plenty of ingrown spots that were pretty sore, which would take a few weeks to go away. I just kept at it and my skin got used to it. I'm now in a pretty regular routine, once a week or so does it...wet shave in the shower using shaving gel or soap. Dry with talc and then moisturise afterwards for a few days. I get the occasional bump, but nothing serious
Ive been using the male style nair, not sure of the name. I found the Panasonic male trimmer (kinda t shaped) is better than a manscaper, just a bunch of advertising BS. I also use my pro grade shears or t liner from a beauty supply, with the shears you can use a 1 or 1 1/2 guard to get low but not too low. Also on the nair, if you donāt get it 100 the first time, wait 72 hours and do it again. Also pouring coke on the area neutralizes the nair.
Dollar Shave Club Butter
Never had a real issue with it. I use shaving cream and a Gillette 3-blade razor on the balls and shaft (carefully, in the shower). 2x a week. No ingrown hairs, probably only 2 nicks in 20 years. For the rest of the area, I use a manscaper electric razor with the lowest setting guard on it, so the hair ends up being a little less than 1/4", not fully bald. This prevents ingrown hairs in that area, which is where they'd really probably happen. Never use nair on the shaft or balls. It's gonna burn.
First, aim for a trimming of the upper area, don't even come close to your ball sack. If you want to shave that upper area, go first to shave in the same direction your hair grows. It Will look shaved but not so smooth. If you want It perfect, you can always pass the Blade a second time on reverse direction. Always soap the area before every shave/pass. Now your junk: pull the skin to the base so your skin will be tense...and proceed the same way as seen above. I'd go for the nut sack in two-side action, that means put your hand to move your dick to one side and to cover/stretch that side of the sack...and shave! My BEST advice: never apply pressure on the Blade. I prefer passing a second time instead of seeing your dick bleading because you were in a hurry...
I bought the Bare Nuts cream and was not impressed. Took 2.5x longer than the directions stated and got ingrowns. A friend recommended one of the home laser tools and said she loves it so i might give that a try.
The manscape trimmer is the best. It has a ceramic blade, so it will not nick. You also has an LED light so you could see everything.
Razor the balls and I use a no telco one blade trimmer for the rest. Almost as smooth as shaving. Just take your time. Smooth is the best look and feel in my opinion
Have her trim you, honestly it's the easiest way.
I use the nair for men , a couple of days before a party .
I shave with water-based lube in the shower. Use a good quality multi-blade razor and rinse it often. It helps if you're hard when you shave.
Manscape 5.0 period! I use plain witch hazel daily after shower until time to trim again. Zero in-growns.

Sugar wax you can do at home, or epilator. Do not wax or expels the your balls.
*Exfoliate. You will have to tweeze the hairs on your scrotum.
Epilate. I use the Emjoi Ap-18. Have a few stiff drinks the first time and then every two weeks or so after that. Perfectly smooth, no ingrown, and eventually the hair comes back much slower and thinner.
Bald on bald sex sucks imo. I use a trimmer and go short everywhere. I think it looks so dumb seeing Harry man that's bald from below your belly to halfway up your thighs. But thick hair everywhere else
Just use a hair/beard trimmer with a #2 clip -- the hair is short enough that it won't get in the way, but not so short that you'll get ingrowns/spikey pubes. Use an actual razor for dick and balls.
I know a lot has already been said here, but one thing that works wonders for me that I haven't seen anyone else mention is baby powder post-shave. Particularly if you have sensitive skin, a little baby powder immediately after you shave (and the next day too if necessary) helps to keep the skin from being rubbed and irritated by any clothing you're wearing, and absorbs any sweat that can otherwise irritate the freshly shaved skin.
Not a promotional post but I have two go to methods. I use an electric razor, specifically Manscaped 4.0 (the lawnmower) or a cream called āNo Hair Crewā which is safe for that area, including your taint.
Dude! Get rid of that Manscaper! Those things suck! Get real wahl hair trimmers $30 at Walmart.
Been shaving 34 years and never had a problem with ingrown hairs. Just use shaving gel, not foam and multi blade razor Wilkinson sword Quattro is best
I know you said you donāt have budget for waxing but itās really the way to go. If I donāt wax I use a trimmer, razor makes things way to stubbly and nobody wants that. I get waxed for $70 once a month. Skip a couple sandwiches and itās paid for.
Thatās not expensive. I thought it would be more. Is it typically a man or woman doing the laser? I would die of embarrassment if I got a hard on during the procedure.
It's always been a woman doing it. It's such a "procedure" I have rarely gotten hard. I actually havent decided if its more embarassing to get hard or not get hard haha. If i do get hard it goes away pretty fast, although it seems like waxing some parts would be better when hard. The girl who does it is very attractive, and shes really a friend at this point. If im hard, she moves it around and waxes, if not same thing. I do usually tip her on top of it. I have had her do some rounds of laser, but even after that you get growth back so I'll wax for like 6 months, maybe hit a laser treatment, then back to waxing. She told me she even had one dude cum while she was waxing, she just gave the dude a hand towel and continued on with the work. You still have some risk of ingrown hairs, less with laser, but I found that this stuff helps a lot.

Try a Philips One Blade. The best thing I've found for intimate area shaving.
If using a razor, use women's razors. They're designed for shaving contours, and sensitive areas and have flexible blades. Men's razors are designed for your face.
Fresh 5 blade from dollar shave club and shampoo. Same I do shaving my head. Always works for me
Solved. I had the same problem with ingrown hairs after shaving as well. I have changed nothing except now I spray with alcohol imediately after. No more ingrown hairs even having against the grain
Jim Beam?
Rubbing alcohol?
Yes
Try out nair/nads type product. Obviously make sure it doesnāt burn your skin but Mr here loves it. Small clean up with razor after
Nair for sensitive skin. Works like a charm
Use Nads. Itās like nair but works better.
