Shaving question

Ok...I'm embarrassed to post this so that's why it's anonymous. Yes, this is a real question. My wife would like me to shave all the body/pubic hair once. She thinks it would be sexy. The couple of times I've shaved the chest hair, it itched like hell when growing back in and I ended up with a lot of ingrown hairs. It just wasn't good. I'm worried the same will happen with the pubic hair. And using a razor down there? I'm not to sure about that. I know this is a weird post, but I'm considering it for her so I want to know what I'm in for. Any tips on how to, or stopping the itching, or whatever would be appreciated. If this isn't appropriate, I do apologize, but since we are supposed to be here to help each other out and this is what I'm struggling with (yes, I know, stupid) I'm hopping some of you will be willing to give advice.

Now that is love for you

All of it?

Or just the areas that don't see the sunshine? Remember how your chest itched? Now imagine that over your entire body. I think you see my point.

1st step: Hot wax all over your body
2nd step: Duct Tape on dried wax
3rd step: Have a "friend" yank the tape off
4th step: Scream in pure agony
5th step: Fall over dead
I'm really wanting to be wildly inappropriate and list some "ok, now it's your turn to do something for me" suggestions.

Just when you think we can't surpass our watermark for excellence on this site.

Somebody has the courage (albiet anonymously) to ask about Manscaping, a proud day for AHD.org!!!!

Here's what umm, someone told me, umm, once...

1. Moustache trimmer to get as close as possible
2. If, and only if, a razor is involved- no family jewels and only in the shower using appropriate shaving cream (yes, there is such a thing)
3. Prepare yourself for 4-5 days of uncomfortable sitting, standing, walking, etc. (carry Baby Powder with you at all times)
4. Give up the DIY and ask your local Pornstar where he got his Brazilian...

Actually, I think I read this somewhere, yeah, that's it...

Aye, there's nary an animal alive that can outrun a greased scotsman...

Mutual?

megafun's picture

There's a reason why I keep my beard length past that stage, it drives me crazy. So, if I were to shave down there I would most definately carry a travel sized bottle of baby powder.

That being said...I would consider it based on the idea that you could offer stipulations.

nair

dayv27's picture

DO NOT USE NAIR. Take it from a guy who shaves his head (on the shoulders) a few times a week. DO NOT USE NAIR. That stuff should be banned as cruel and inhuman torture. I tried a little of that on my head. I read and followed the instructions word for word. Even took it off a minute early. I had a chemical burn on the side of my head for three weeks. And couldn't shave my head because of it. DO NOT USE NAIR.

Just make sure what ever shaving you do, she has to do in kind.

-just the other day I told my wife, "I love when you run your fingers through my hair like that......Keep scratching my back!"

No Nair

Norelco Bodygroom

New No.2's picture

Hey Mate(s)
My wife who works in advertising told me two things:
1. Don't get waxed!
2. Norleco makes a product specificaly for this endevor. The NORELCO BODYGROOM.
http://www.consumer.philips.com/consumer/en/us/norelco/cc/_productid_BG2020_30_US_NORELCO/total-body-grooming-system+BG2020

There used to be a funny website wherein you could ask a man in a robe what you could shave. She said he winked and waved a naughty finger at you when you asked about the sack.

The man who played Xerxies in "300" had his enitre body waxed and sahved every day and said it was very painfull. And once you start to use a razor you have to keep shaving.

Good Luck.
Be Seeing You.

My curiosicty piqued about this item I saw it was available via Amazon.com. Since they have reviews for everything I thought I would take a look, and - explative above - there are 425 reviews! Topics about "how is it on balls?" and all sorts of way to personal "hair is my enemy" stuff.

There is a whole hairless subculture out there and they are chatting on Amazon.com.

Not Afraid to Admit...

randyfielding's picture

I am not afraid to admit that I have done this before for my wife - not my ENTIRE body, mind you, but the nether regions. First, I used a pair of kid's safety scissors to get the hair much shorter. Next, I used a micro-trimmer to get the hair as close as possible to the skin without having to use a razor. In the end, I didn't use a razor to get completely smooth, and I am glad I didn't. Yes, it itched like crazy for the first week after I did it, but after that, it was smooth sailing. Lastly, I will just let you know that this is a VERY time-consuming process, so be prepared to have a large chunk of time available to get the job done. After all was said and done, my wife loved it, and she returned the favor. It is worth doing it once just to live life a little!

If it means more sex....hell yeah!!

Do it....take it for the team! If it means more sex, I'd do it!

Ok...I'll Admit it Too

dkremers_1965's picture

Okay...if Randy can admit it, I'll admit it too. I've done this 2 separate times for the wife, and she's loved it both times. The problem both times was, I HATED it. The sex of course was great, but the itching was more than I could take, and for me it lasted 2 weeks. I also was embarrassed when I was in the locker room in the YMCA (yeah, I know there are a bunch of guys there who shave so I wasn't alone, but I was still embarrassed). So...will I do it again? Probably not if she doesn't specifically ask for it and even then I don't know if I would again. But, I would say every guy should be open to it if the wife would like to try it. It definitely was an interesting experience.

YMCA

I'll go you one better than the Y...
How about having your clothes forcably removed by doctors in the ER while your head is in one of thoes collar things as they are getting ready to x-ray you becasue they are sure your pelvis is broken, and lo you had "styled" not to long ago. I was an avid bike rider at the time and kept things short cause the stank factor could get pertty high otherwise.

Then another group of people come in to gawk at what chould be a busted pelvis. They didn't care of course but it added to the endless pain and humiliation of that day. Oh, I was hit by a car - walking not riding - my pelvis was fine but I had broken my back. (I'm fine.)

I did get a lot of wonderful wonderful morophine out of the deal.

You Win

dkremers_1965's picture

Okay Jonathan...you win...that would definitely be more embarrassing than being shave in the Y locker room. At least then it was my choice to get undressed. And "styled?" I love it! Such a nice way to say shaving the guys. LOL!

No No

New No.2's picture

It was about a month or so later, I think, I was still F-ed up, soooo, about two or three weeks I think. That year was a dark time, I was also unemployed. But it was love at frist date with my wife and although I still hold some resentment it's water under the bridge. I loved that she told me it was all about sex then she went off shaged like three guys in 6 moths then called me at 1:30 in the AM to cry that men suck and no onre respected her (ahem) the way I did. Well now...

She was recenetly married my mother tells me but that's all I know. She was dating a man that quazi mutual friends described as so arrogant and concited they looked at their watch every 7 mins to pick the right time it acceptably leave. Such is life. :-)

Thanks for your interst though.

I am wondering how our Annon poster is making out in the arena of hair removal?

Probably Won't Say

dkremers_1965's picture

I'm guessing the guy won't say if he's shaved yet or not since you can't reply anonymously in here. But I'm just hoping we've been helpful to him. As Matt puts it, shaving your balls...lol...can be a big deal for some guys. It was for me just because I was kind of embarrassed about it.

Bald is beautiful! Just do it!

It's not that bad, just do it for her, you wont regret it. Been clean shaven for years, use a razor every time and have honestly never cut anything once, of course using cold water helps, a rare occasion when shrinkage actually does some good. lol The sac skin is much tougher than anywhere else, and I'm sure you all agree, as well it should be.
I don't recall even itching and theres always lotion or micatin.

After my hernia operation came one of my finer hours, all I remember is waking up and 2 cute nurses tending to me with uncontrollable smiles. More darvaset and another dressing please!

I don't know any of you so what the hell... I have shaved for years too.
I never met a woman who freaked out and some even freak in, they like it as much as we do.

The secrets are cold water as he said, and stretching what you're shaving.
I prefer gel shaving creams and Gillette Mach 3 Turbo is your friend!
The occasional itches I get are only if I go to low and shave the taint, stubble there is a bitch!

Oh yeah, be careful what you're doing right after shaving... the ocean can sting if you aren't expecting it and mud can lead to ingrown hairs.

"Gillette Mach 3 Turbo is your friend!"

SugarMamasBoy's picture

Funny, I'll have to give it a try, although the Turbo part sorta concerns me. I prefer to take this task nice and slow.

Okay, well, since nobody else has said it or suggested it, having her do it for you gives new meaning to "Gillette, the best a man can get".
