Use an electric razor and start slowly. A blade razor does the job better, but you can't afford errors down there.

never going to shave down there, ever. Why would I want to feel like i have to scratch constantly? As far as the grease issue, I just put some shower gel down there and scrub down.

Indeed.  No scratching then.

Jar of painkillers and a blowtorch.

I actually just use a hair clipper with a #1 guard on it. Looks great still, and isn't shaved all the way down so the itchiness isn't so bad, and it doesn't get prickly. Also, girls really like it. I mean it, not a joke at all. Totally worth it.

ok i'm getting shaving tips from george michael, cool deal.

Also i try to convince my gf not to shave b/c its justt like going into sandpaper....dont really like that. Just be au naturale

there i was thinking this was a nice innocent thread about shaving facial hair when suddenly i see all this talk about balls. :O
i advise you to wash your balls and if you do shave,be carefull!

Try cutting your balls off.

LMAO @ Monty's response.

I like this guy.

Well, I'm not sure. I mean, it's not like it's going to send me running scared. So I'm here to stay, and if I stay, there's space for someone behind me who wants to be shielded.
