Hey! I'm so sorry for leaving you hanging... I've had a lot to deal with but FINALLY today I tried shaving downstairs with my safety razor. And it went WELL. ๐ Details below:
description of genitals/pubic area
Just to get it out of the way since it probably does matter: I have a traditional male dick. ๐ ๐คฃ Now, let me start by giving you something to laugh at, which is TOTALLY fine, since I laughed too: DO NOT USE MENTHOL SOAP. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ I just used the shaving soap with which I shave my face, not thinking about how CHILLY it would feel down there. ๐ฅถ Now, after foaming up both my PP, balls and the general immediate area, I carefully did a one run with the razor, NOT against the direction of hair growth, and wow. Just WOW. NO second and third runs or scraping or whatever: it worked just as well as on my face. Just one run and it takes it all. Not baby face clean though, but down to less than millimeters. I guess if an absolute clean shave is the goal, one could try doing a second run against the hair growth, but not this day. ๐ I did tighten the distance of the razor head, just in case I wasn't able to keep my hand steady or the likes. What BAFFLES me, is that I didn't get a single nick. Not even on my balls. That's just crazy.All in all, I'm not even going back to using electric razors other anything else downstairs. Feel free to ask if you have any questions! ๐
