Best Way To Shave Your Balls

Are you wondering what the best method is when it comes to shaving your balls?

Well, I can assure you you’re not the only one. Pubic hair can be a real pain and nobody wants a forest down there. But it’s obviously a sensitive place so many of us avoid the area altogether or only shave some of it meaning we never truly go to town and give our downstairs a proper seeing to.

If you don’t know what you’re doing then shaving your balls can be a risky business. Luckily for you though, we’ve got all the info you need.

And that’s not all.

Once you’ve read this article you’ll know exactly how to shave your balls and give them that silky smooth aesthetic you’ve been wanting since your pubic hair first started growing. So read on to find out tips, facts, and the answers to many burning questions others like you have raised.

Should You Shave Your Balls?

This is the first thing you need to think about before even thinking of putting anything sharp near your sack. Now, if you’re fortunate enough to have a loving partner then this is going to help you figure out the answer.

As they’ll likely be the most affected by your pubic hair getting their opinion on whether you need a smooth sack or can continue to rock a more natural look should affect whether you begin your manscaping journey.

Of course, not all of us are coupled up though we can’t get that second opinion. This doesn’t mean you should be asking other people for their opinion though besides some friends that may have already experimented with trimming down there.

In which case think about why you want to shave down there? If it’s to impress any potential suitors then remember everyone has different preferences so you may not have to put the blades to your nether regions. However, many of us just feel like having a style change for a confidence boost in which case having a shave is a great idea so long as you do it properly.

What You Need

The last thing you want to do is reach for that disposable razor you’ve been dragging along your face for weeks as this is most likely blunt and will almost certainly cause ingrown hairs to develop which leads to razor burn and other nasty side effects that will leave you with nasty skin irritation and very itchy balls.

The skin down there is far more delicate and in need of something special. There’s also the whole sack-to-face situation, which isn’t totally sanitary and not recommended by us. An electric razor is your safest bet. It trims the hair super short without the risk of grabbing or breaking any skin.

It’s worth remembering too that scrotum hair is a lot sparser than the dense forest situation that tends to grow on the pubis. To get a super smooth shave, a safety razor is a better choice. Invest in a good safety razor, or even a kit that’s got all the tools you’ll need for a close shave.

Some other things worth picking up are:

• A pre-shave lotion
• Shaving gel
• Scissors
• Post-shave soothing balm

How To Shave Your Balls: A Step By Step Guide

Here it is, the part you came here for.

Follow this guide and you’ll be an expert in how to shave your balls so get your electric trimmer, shaving cream, and razor ready so we can jump right in.

1. (Preparation) Before you start, get your electric trimmer and use one hand to gently pull the skin taut and the other to carefully trim the hair. Be sure to trim the hair as short as possible without touching the skin. Then soak your balls in warm water and apply a pre-shave oil, especially if you have sensitive skin.
2. Get your safety razor or disposable razor and shave the base of your manhood while in a hot shower. Pull it slightly so your skin is smoother which will make it easier when you shave and move the razor outward from the base to the head. Shave any stray hairs on your penis too. Once you’ve got the sides done, pull up and shave from top to bottom where your dingdong meets your scrotum.
3. Now for the scary part. You can use shave cream however if you’re already in the shower then you probably won’t need to use it.
4. There’s not a complicated list of steps when it comes to your balls, just one important rule to remember and that’s to stretch your skin taut. Pulling your scrotum in every direction may not feel nice but unless you want bleeding balls and razor burn then you need to make sure your skin is smooth when you run your razor down it.
5. Shave all over your scrotum while shaving, then when you’re done rinse with warm water.
6. Clean your razor and electric shaver as having a dirty razor with hair stuck in it will make your next trim session a lot more painful.

Risks When You Shave Your Balls

Before you take the plunge and begin shaving your sack it’s worth knowing the risk involved. These range from common occurrences and minor inconveniences to serious injury if you do it wrong.

1. Body hair removal will always lead to razor bumps and razor burn no matter how careful you are and getting this on your balls is going to leave you trying to covertly scratch your nards when no one is looking.
2. Again, this one is common with shaving but cutting yourself is a risk. However, when it’s on your balls this can be a lot more painful and severe, especially as there are lots of veins on your sack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to use clippers on balls?

Yes, you’ll need an electric razor to trim the bulk of your pubic hair but make sure not to put the shaver in contact with your skin.

Should I shave my balls at 15?

As it’s not overly necessary to shave down there at that age and you’re likely still developing we’d recommend letting it grow naturally down there, at least for now. When you shave for the first time downstairs we’d recommend asking a parent or trusted adult to help supply the equipment and give some level of guidance. Of course, they’re not going to watch you but letting them know what you’re doing will mean you have someone to help should anything go wrong such as any cuts or nicks.

Are guys supposed to shave their ball hair?

Some guys trim their pubic hair, others prefer to shave or wax, and most guys just leave it alone. It’s not necessary to remove the hair in this area to keep your body clean and you’re likely to face discomfort and other problems at some point if you do shave down there regularly. When it comes down to it, shaving downstairs is all a matter of preference so you shouldn’t feel pressured to have bald balls.

Why is pubic hair so curly?

The reason pubic hair is coarser and thicker than the hair on the rest of our bodies is to protect us from friction burns during sex as well as to catch dirt and dead skin. It’s also curly because curly hair does a better job of capturing the pheromones from one’s sweat glands, ensuring that each person has a unique genital odor. Just make sure you wash your pubic hair regularly otherwise the pheromone emitting from it won’t be very pleasant for your partner.

How often should guys shave their pubes?

For most men, trimming or shaving their pubic region once every few weeks seems to be ideal. For armpits and other body hair, about once every 2 to 4 weeks seems to be quite popular. And of course, a lot of men will manscape the night before a date, just to be safe.
