Ive previously used the magic shave razorless cream. After reading the above post I tried the powder today. A lot less burn and a lot smoother on genitals and butt crack. Still has a bit of a smell in the house from it though.
I just go an eighth of an inch with my trimmer. Sick of ingrown hairs and itch. Actually, it does itch some, but it looks and generally feels great, not to mention Gold Bond powder! Took me all my life to use it, what was i thinking?? It's the best!
Who has done laser and has light colored hair? I have read that laser does not work on hair with little pigment. Wife had laser done a few years ago and it worked, but she still shaves periodically even after 5-6 treatments. Hair is much different now for her now though. I shave from nose to toes and have pretty good results. Maintenance is every few days with some minor touch ups in between. Takes 8-10 min to do it all, so shaving is not an issue for me. However, Id love for the areas with courser hair to be softer. Also, difficult to reach places. I have considered waxing, but cant stand the thought of letting all of my body hair grow out 1/4 inch. Appreciate the feedback on laser for clear/blond hair.
I shave in the shower also. Life has gotten much easier since the arrival of the five blade razors. Some like the Hydro5 even have bands of steel on the blades so nothing goes deep causing a nick or cut. Even works well on my scrotum, which is always tough for obvious reasons.

Yep, shaving in the shower is the best way to do it. The warm water softens the hairs and makes it possible to get a closer smoother shave. All the stubble gets washed down the drain, so no additional clean up afterwards. Also no need for shave cream as it would not stay on anyway under the running water of the shower head. Just get in the shower, do your regular washing, then do your shaving before turning off the water and drying off.
I tried shaving in the shower once, but my glasses fogged up. Decided it wasn't such a good idea.
Warn the glasses up under the warm water and they are less likely to fog up on you. The fogging occurs due to the temperature difference of the cold glass and the humidity of the shower. If the glass is warm the steam won't condense on it, or just leave the glasses off if you can get away with it. Personally I don't need to SEE where I am shaving, as I can FEEL where I am dragging the razor long the skin.
