1. 1

   Wet your face with warm water. You may want to hold a wet washcloth to your beard for a few minutes to soften the skin.

2. 2

   Fill the sink basin halfway with water.

3. 3

   Get out a new razor, or replace the used blade in your regular razor.

4. 4
   

   Squirt a dollop of shaving cream into your hand or shake out shaving powder, and apply it to your beard in upward circular motions. The amount may vary depending on the thickness of your beard, but the area to be shaved should be covered uniformly.

5. 5
   

   Shave downward, the way your whiskers grow, from your sideburns toward your mandible using long, even strokes. Apply light but firm pressure, pulling your skin taut before each stroke.

6. 6
   

   Rinse your razor with warm water after every stroke or two to keep it from getting clogged with hair.

7. 7
   

   Shave the area around your chin. Shave upward as necessary to make the area smooth. When shaving under your chin, pull the razor from your throat area toward your chin.

8. 8
   

   Shave your upper lip, keeping the skin tight by curling your lip over your front teeth.

9. 9
   

   Wash off any excess shaving cream and examine your face for straggling hairs. Check the edge of your jaw, around your ears, and near your lips and nostrils for missed hairs. Go back with the razor to shave any hairs you missed.

10. 10

    Drain and wash out the basin and apply cold water or aftershave as desired.

    
    

    
    

    
    

    I'd have to say that the Art of Shaving has some of the best products, After I had ingrown hairs from using an electric razor and not knowing it was coming from that, I used some lotions and razors and it went away.

Male Grooming:

When it comes to male grooming, and dealing with man hair, it seems that no place is free from a bit of topiary. Women have been keeping their lady bits hair free for years, so shouldn’t men keep downstairs a bit more tidy?

Porn stars have been shaving their balls for years, and the “sack and back” wax is becoming a staple on a lot of waxing and beauty salons. So why would you want to shave your balls, and more importantly, how.

Reasons You Might Shave your Balls

There are numerous reasons and many claimed benefits for shaving your balls. But ultimately nature grows hair around our balls for a reason, so why are we to question million of years eveloution. Well, like many things, it is down to aesthetics. Some people prefer the look of tidy tackle, and it seems popular with women. Porn stars have been doing it for years, and that is for one obvious reason. Shaving your balls gives the visual sense of adding some extra length you yur manhood.

There are claims that it is healthier, by I’m not so sure. I think ultimately it is a lifestyle choice, maybe taken inconjunction with your partner, who may prefer the look. But whether you just trim to tidy up the appearance, or go for the full shave it is a matter of personal taste. But just be warned. Once you start, you have to maintain it, as it can be itchy if left too long.

How Do You Shave Your Balls?

The thought of bringing a razor blade close to your crown jewells is enough to put any man off. But should you make the decision there are a number of approaches you can take.

If you are going to use a razor, then, it goes without saying be very careful, and take your time. You need to trim off the hair with a trimmer, DON’T USE your beard trimmer. That’s not just hygenic. There are plenty of “man groomers” specially designed for shaving bits of the body below the neck line. Invest in one of these to manage you body hair, and have a separate beard trimmer.

Check out these great body groomers – good for all parts of the body below the neck line:

Once you’ve trimmed the area, apply a good shaving gel or cream. Then make sure you have a brand new blade (again, not one you’ve used on your face, or intend to use on your face. Yuk!) .Pull the skin tight, to flatten out the bumps etc, and gently take the balde across the hair, using short, light strokes. Take your time. Don’t push hard, and let the razor glide gently over. Here it helps if you use a good quality shaving cream, to help lubricate the smooth journey of the blade across the balls. Make sure you rinse the blade regularly. The whole piont is to make the blade glide gently across, and not get caught or drag.

Once done, splash with cold water to clear the residue shaving cream, and pat dry (don’t rub!). It is worth applying some moisturiser (as you would your face). Voila.

As stated before, you will have to keep on top of this, and once you decide to shave your balls it is something you will need to keep doing on a regular basis, as when it grows it can be itchy.

Alternatively, you can go for the old “sack n crack” wax. This is more painful, but the results will last much longer. Check out your local wax salon, especially those that cater specially for men. See if they have it on the menu. This is a bit personal, so is not for everyone, and ultimately you might like some stranger waxing your bollocks!

Whatever method you use, there is no harm in trying it once, and see how it feels. And ultimately, what response you get from your partner. You never know, you might both be pleasantly surprised.
