DLD,
I've been meaning to share a tip with you, even after reading your post about shaving problems I "forgot" that I'd recently tried something that is working well for me. You've helped me so much, maybe this could help you ;-) I recently bought a "Personal Shaver" at WalMart for $10. These are slightly larger than a pen and runs on a AAA battery, you or Jen may have seen similar things advertised. I actually bought it for my wife ;-) and didn't even think to try it on myself until she suggested it.
Frankly, I didn't expect this thing to work well, but when we tried it on her I was pretty impressed with it. It took some time to get a feel for what works, as there was virtually no instruction manual. I've been shaving the base of my shaft for a couple of years now, irregularly. I hate using a regular razor, I can't imagine any guy not being nervous shaving his dick and balls. Not to mention the ingrown hair problems. This little electric razor works great for me, it is a major improvement on the balls which, because of the texture have been very hard for me to shave. Once I got the hang of it, I can shave everything in about 1 minute and I have a lot of hair on my shaft even pre-Penis Enlargement. It may not work for everyone, but it sure works good for me. It's lasted at least 2 months, and I'm on the second AAA battery. If it broke tomorrow, for $10 it's still worth it to me. I've tried some hair removal cream, which worked pretty well but I really hate the smell and didn't like having strong chemicals on my penis.
I'll briefly describe how I use it. The cutting head is about 1" long, and very thin. It is as if a tiny knife blade were sticking out the end of a pen, with no point. Saying all this so that you know the orientation, which you'll see of course if you get one. BTW, supposedly it's impossible to cut yourself with these. The knife "edge" is 2 rows of tiny teeth, which move in a vibrating motion against each other. Whatworks best for me, is if you think of this just like a small knife, I stroke exactly as if I were trying to shave with a real knife or straight razor. With the blade angled, I stroke against the direction of the hair where possible. I use some force, as what I found was that just holding it gently would not work well. You may get the hang of it straight off, but in case anyone tries one and can't get it I just wanted to clarify.
It is virtually painless, much more so than the razor was. Really it causes no pain, just that the vibrating teeth sometimes feel funny on some sensitive part. Bottom line, for me it's hands down the best method I've used. I've had no ingrown hairs or red spots, although once I did get the tiniest scratch when I was too aggresive on some sensitive scrotum skin. If you like the hairless look, I recommend you give one of these a try - $10 isn't a big deal if you don't like it.
I've also seen another "intimate" shaver advertised, which is much more expensive. I'll look up the name of it and post back. I think it's made by Shcik but not sure. I've seen it advertised in a combo pack along with the same type of "personal shaver" which I describe above. I read a female review of this, which claimed it worked very well - this thing is larger and round, the head is round. She said it basically shaved everything comfortably, and the smaller unit was used just for nooks & crannys. I really want to try one of these for the wife.
