I trim things with an electric trimmer, but to actually shave I use a double edged razor. Some people are scared of them, and even a lot of the people who use them on their face are scared to shave their pubes with them. It’s really not that hard though. I also don’t see why you’d want more blades (which I think every disposable is like 5+), because that means if you fuck up and move your blade sideways your cut will be that many times worse.

The key thing, and this applies to all methods, is you have to keep the skin taut. You have to pull the skin that is being shaved, not just drag a blade across the loose skin. If you don’t, you’ll likely cut yourself. Along with applying to all blades, this applies to all skin also.

I don’t have that much experience, but your trimmer shouldn’t pinch. Troubleshooting possibilities:

• Oil trimmer blades
• Get new trimmer blades
• Get a new trimmer

Shaving Creme might work, since there are no blades involved

Try to get one that is not to agressive for your skin, maybe on specifically for more intimate parts

I have experienced the trimmer nicks as well, maybe a shaver would be better than a trimmer.

But i just use a razor now, either a multi-blade men’s razor or women’s body hair razors. Also i use conditioner instead of shaving foam, works just as well and easier to see what I’m doing.

From my experience, the occasional nick is just a part of the process unfortunately.

I find that, similar to shaving one’s beard hairs, holding the skin taught tends to help. Also, just take your time - trying to be hasty guarantees you getting nicked.

You could ask the manufacturer of shaving products:

I actually found a normal razor to work better than a trimmer.

Also… try getting a stiffie during the process so your nutsack tightens up, makes it easier.

You have a few options but there is no perfect solution, all have trade-offs.

• Trimmer with skin safe guard. That’s your trimmer but with a bit of plastic to stop nicking the skin. Doesn’t trim that close, takes a long time and generally not the best result, but better than nothing and pretty safe. That’s basically what manscaped sell, but don’t buy it, it’s overpriced.

• A Good Razor. Basically just use a good cartridge razor of whatever brand you like (but not the disposable single use ones, they are hell, I usually use Gillette Fusion) some even have special intimate razor lines that are allegedly better but I didn’t see much difference. This is probably best for the clean shave, does take some agility and practice to do safely but is quick and easy when you get used to it. Bigger con of this approach is it will get a bit tender and prickly after a few days, but that also depends on your hair type. Usually this is my go to.

• Hair Removal Cream. Good for reaching spots that are otherwise hard to shave and lasts a bit longer than a razor but also has a few negatives. First of all, it STINKS, might no be an issue but worth noting. Additionally, it might not be suitable for you as it literally dissolves hair, so is pretty rough on the skin and can even cause a chemical burn if left for too long. There are intimate area variations but obviously they are less effective. Also depending how hairy your legs are, it can be tricky to not get any on there and be left with clumps of half dissolved hair on your hamstrings. I used Nads before and had good results.

• Laser hair removal. Best in class, but is expensive, requires multiple visits and top ups (but the hair stays off longer and grows back thinner after each time). Haven’t tried myself but know a few folks who swear by it. I think you can get a home kit but I wouldn’t advise it as it’s fairly dangerous and you don’t want a laser burn down there, still with professional services.

• Wax. Better results than the first two options but the pain is unreal, not worth it IMO.

Try a Gilette razor with a battery in it that vibrates. Keep the electric razors far away. They’re too risky.

Sack trimming is what ultimately converted me from electric trimmers to safety razors. Night and day. Even if I nick myself, the closest thing to a problem is NOT pain.

I have a waterproof shaver specifically for my balls. It is pretty easy to shave with it in the shower, just use one hand to stretch your sack out then run the shaver over it. It is the wrinkles that are such a danger.

Don’t use an electric trimmer. Use one you can have careful control over. Safety razors give a better shave anyways.

In case you arent- never use an electric razor on your balls without a guard. And even then, I don’t try to get it too close to the skin, just to shorten the hairs a lot.

Then if I want to go further, shaving cream and a safety razor is the way to go. Just try to smooth out the scrotum with your other hand to make it as flat a surface as possible.

i just keep em hairy

What the hell this is gross what is it doing in this section. WTF.
