First Shave at 19
Return to DiscussionsOUCH, Damn that hurt. Look at all the blood. oh crap !!!
thought i knew what i was doing, then i got a razor in the shower with me and i figured out that I don't know crap about shaving around my pole.
I learned some things tho for sure. I just need some help...
Thanks to anybody that wants to try to help.
I think I managed to inflict pain on myself the first time I shaved my pubes, I only shaved a small area and thought stuff that. I then used clippers on most of it, scissors round my scrotum. Then shaved it, after being in the shower for a while. Now, many years on, its a shave every day, occasionally nick myself, but that's due to not pulling the skin out. Then a facial scrub to prevent ingrowers, smooothe.

Yea i have been trimming for a while so my stuff is kept pretty short already. i just wanted to try this and see what I liked or no. wow does it hurt now !!!!
Oh no! Good on you for trying. Drop me a message if you want some practical hints and tips separate to the group.Steve
Hey Steve, can you help stop the bleeding. HA HA
Really, i nicked myself all around the root trying to get those little hairs on my shaft. Then I went back and tried to get a little closer and ended up cutting my pubic region too. I used soap to clean up first. let the hot hot water run on me to soften up then used a brand new disposable. What did I do wrong. I like the look, I love the feel. but it hurts now that i am all cut up.Oh and getting a boner now is murder.
HELP

Without wanting to make you feel worse, you probably made 2 key errors when you started bleeding.Firstly, soap will dry the skin and make it more difficult for the razor blade to glide over the skin. That's probably why you cut yourself more.Secondly, hot water will soften the skin making it loose and more wrinkled so therefore harder to get a tight surface area.Might I suggest using a small amount of moisturiser before applying the shave foam to create a lubrication to ease the blade glide? I would also suggest that you get hard before you try doing the shaft. It makes a real difference, and us therefore safer. When you shave your ball sack, you should pull the skin taught to prevent catching the razor in the folds.Luckily, the soreness and pain when you get hard will due down after 24 hours so it's very short lived. Pop some moisturiser or after sun on your bits before you go to bed tonight. The cream will soak in and feed your skin whilst you sleep.Does that help?

Got cha, Sounds good. I didn't know that soap drys you out. so that was dumb. when i look back at all the stuff i read, nobody said soap but that is always what i use to clean up. i have saw that somebody said to use conditioner. is that the same as moisturizer ? As far as getting hard when i do this. I am 19. HA HA I stay hard !! sorry. but that didn't help too much cuz i was distracted by needing to take care of that !! Just kidding sorry. my ball sacks were ok, i was pulling them like crazy but mostly I have very little hair on them. most is above my cock, and a little around the root. I just tried to get every bit of it. i was feeling stuble and was trying to get that gone, I could not see any hairs, but i was feeling them. I should have stopped when i could not see any more.......
After i am done i will put something on me that is another good idea. I like the look and I love the feel, but man does it ever hurt. So I am hoping my skin will get tougher and it will be easier the more I do it ??
Thanks for the help. Deryck
You will get better at shaving your pubes & the skin will toughen up some, but not much. I shave before I get in the shower because the light is better in front of the sink. Gillette now makes a Body shave cream that helps protect the skin & you are less likely to nick your dick & it moisturizes also. They also have a body shaver that givesmore protection from nicks than most disposable razors, but even if you don't use the body razor, I always use a brand name razor since even with my years of experience shaving my balls I nick myself easier witha disposable. I keep one razorfor my face and another one from my crotch.Another tip when you aren't experienced is to use the razor that you have been using on your face since it is more dull than a brand new one & less chanceof nicking the boys.It is worth learning how to safely shave your pubes so you can experience that smooth feel & sexy look. The smooth look always gets noticed when you are in a naked situation like thelocker room or a nude pool or beach & it has gotten me some action that I might not have gotten if I had been hairy!

Thanks for the help. DeryckHey Dude, Let me tell you that after I went to bed with moisturizer on my balls and cock root. I slept allot better. Woke up with morning wood and forgot that it hurt so much the day before. Thanks for the tip about using cream at night. hopefully in a couple days I will be able to clean up the stubble and not have a repeat of the first time. you have been a big help already to me and I hope others ...Deryck.
