I never shaved until 1999, I went and had a vasectomy done, the Dr said I had to shave my testicles for the procedure and if I didn't want to do it myself they would on the day of the procedure. I shaved 2 days before and really liked the smooth feel. After surgery it looked a little strange with smooth balls and a big bush. I trimmed it down and liked the look. One day I was shaving my balls and decided to keep going and leave like a 2-3 inch strip. Well the smoothness felt better and through the years of different designs I went smooth... In 2010 I had laser hair removal and now it's supper smooth. I didn't shave for the beach or when I went to resorts. I did it for me...... I liked the feel and look, I personally could care less what people think about me.. Your choice
Totally agree
Your body, your choice!
My choice is to trim with a #3 blade all over, except for the bush which I pluck by hand wearing a rubber glove to only leave the shorter hairs. I trim the scrotum closer, but don't shave to avoid nicks, and don't pluck as that creates spots. When I tried a #2 blade for the trimming, the hairs overlapped less and it was noticeable, to me at least.
My goal is to have a look that's even but not thick, so I can feel the sun, use less sunscreen (amazing how much difference the extra hair makes!) and when I have to wear a swimsuit, which may be quite skimpy, there's no visible transition in hair density.
I think it works out well. The shaved look is not for me since it's too out of the ordinary. I tend not to keep it up during winter unless planning an escape to warmer climes. Even the difference in the shower is noticeable once I have caught up!
I agree on Your Body, your choice... Its also about what you are comfortable with. My I trim for the most part. I leave the pits and pubes alone or I scissor trim over mowing with the clippers. I shave the boys, I found Mach 3 blades to work the best and nick free... Lastly, shaving before the beach can work against you... Keep in mind that hair does act a bit like a screen. removing it gives you more exposure to sunburn. Also if the skin is freshly shaved, it may be tender or sensitive, toss sunburn on that and its not fun.
