The Tools Of The Trade.
To start with male pubic shaving - the classical way - I'd recommend to grab a hot towel, scissors (or preferably a special hair trimmer), a hand mirror, shaving cream and a new razor blade (the newer, the better it will accomplish its job). Once you have gathered these items, it is time to begin.
The Process
1. First, you need to trim down your hair. The shorter you can safely trim it, the easier it will be to shave. For this you will use the scissors or the hair trimmer. Here it is good to notice that patience is KEY when it comes to a problems-free male pubic shaving session.
2. Once your hair is nicely trimmed, it is time to take a hot shower. Just like when shaving your beard, hot water opens up the pores, helping the hair come off easier. If you can't take a shower for whatever reason, grab the hot towel and leave it on the area for 5 minutes to do the job.
3. The time you have been expecting: time for shaving! Okay, apply the shaving cream and let it rest for a minute while massaging the area to be shaved. This will help the cream act by softening the hair. After the minute has passed, start shaving your pubic hair with the new razor blade. Some key points here:
-Try to minimize the amount of "passes" to just two on the same area.
-Don't be afraid to move your bells to find the best angle for shaving.
-I will say this again: take your time - this is very important.
-You can stretch skin on rugged areas or corners for a closer shave.
4. If you've followed my previous advice you should have no problems at all. If this is your first time shaving and you didn't shave perfectly don't fret about it. Male pubic shaving needs practice to gain better technique and confidence.
Extra step: Now that you have the looks of a pornstar, it is time to keep the area healthy and nourished. For this matter we will use a moisturizer. After shaving your skin will end up dry, so you need to restores the natural moisture - this will also help reduce the itching that you might experience after your first male pubic shaving sessions.
