A gentleman’s guide to safely shaving your pubes


Every man knows that shaving the pubic hair comes with a horde of benefits ranging from a revamped sex life to better sexual health. Some even say that it makes you look bigger down there.

What many do not know is how to safely and effectively get rid of this hair. Here are a few tips;

1. If you choose a razor – Now, there are numerous ways for pubic hair removal ranging from laser and waxing to shaving creams and razor shaving. If you opt for the razor, you must make sure that it is very sharp. A blunt razor will give you bumps in your nether regions.

2. Great care – This one should be the most vital tip. The skin around your nether regions is very sensitive. If you are using a razor, you will need to be extremely careful with it.

3. Warm water – Another great tip for that perfect shave is to do it under warm water. Warm water will open up your skin pores making the shaving process easier. Try the shower or the bath tub.

4. Don’t rush – Shaving your pubes should never be that last minute thing you rush through before a date. It should be something that you take your time doing. If you are too overconfident, you may end up shaving so much more than you had planned to.

5. The hand mirror – Just like with your face, you will need to see what is going on down there when you shave your pubes. Invest in a hand mirror.

6. Moisturizing – Once you have given yourself that velvety smooth shave and patted your skin dry, you will need to moisturize your skin to help it recover from the shock of shaving. Baby oil is a good option.

7. Practice – The more you do it, the more you will have a hang of it. Your first or second attempts may not give you that smooth, velvety finish that you are looking for. Don’t give up. Keep doing it.

8. Leave creativity out of it – There are two styles of shaving pubic hair, either long or short. If you are thinking of doing something else, you may have to keep your creative urges in check.
