If you are going to opt for wax, find a professional. Many places will do the male Brazilian now.

I have been using an epilator for the last few months. Takes a bit to learn to use and get use to it, but seems more effective than a razor. I still use a razor to do some touch up work.

RE:Whats best to use

Hi, well I think I have tried all except an epilator. I used to model for a waxing salon, this means I let the salon train potential waxers using me as the model. I loved the finish, so smooth. Sack and crack and penis shaft are no issue, legs are a holey cow moment, legs hurt! the hair grows back soft and downey which is nice. Erections are normal but normally brief. precum also is normal. the waxer just works around it, wipe, throw and carry on. They will not like at all any attempt to rub yourself or make more of the moment. The issue with waxing is, cost.
Shaving I have been doing for many years, its cheap, easy and quick. Down side is stubble, wait to long and you have a hedgehog between your legs.
Recently I have tried Veet for men, intimate areas. the reviews had some say great and others rant about burning gonads and never again, so I read carefully and drew conclusions.
Some people are more sensitive than others, some areas on your body are more sensitive than others.
So I did test patches.
Pubic mound.
Leg crease
Penis shaft
Scrotum
Perinium
Anus

I found the sensitivity to the harsh hair desolving chemicals did vary incredibly.
Veet say 4-5 minutes.
I found on myself the following works well with NO BURNS.
Pubic mound 5-6 mins
Leg crease 3 mins
Penis shaft 4 -5 mins
Scrotum 4 mins
Perinium 4 mins
Anus 4 mins

From this I found I got good hair removal. I NEVER reapplied till 3 days elapsed to allow skin to recover.
If you feel a burn, remember that by the time you have washed the cream off and rubbed the area, it WILL be worse, so act quickly. The after cream increases the burn sensation for about 5 mins, then it all calms down. I found my leg creases burn or rash very easily, the good news is the hair there is fine so shorter times is good.
The penis shaft has course hair, you can get dry flaky skin after using the cream, so ensure two days of after cream.

I have now a system, I look at the clock, apply a thick covering to my pubic mound and penis shaft. The anus round and over the perinium.
I rub a covering over my scrotum, then apply cream to the leg creases. This order gives the right time exposure against sensitivity. At the 5 mins point, use the scraper against the hair growth grain on the pubic mound (you can be quite severe) The Penis shaft do not press hard, the skin is delicate. Likewise the leg creases, then the scrotum which I find quite resilient, stretch scrape against the grain. Then quick scrape the perinium. The anus I do not scrape (too tricky to get at).
Dive in shower and loafer pad in a circular motion and give a good scrub to the anus, perinium, scrotum and pubic mound. Soft and gentle in the leg creases. Remember the clock is still running untill you have washed off the relavent areas. Apply the after cream after patting dry. You may get a slight hot sensation in the leg creases and scrotum but it dies down after 5 or so minutes. Wait 3 days and do it again. once you have two weeks done, you will find missed hairs are rare and the finish is ultra smooth. regrowth becomes softer, even silky.
After a month you should have a perfect smooth gentital region. no spikey penis shaft or pubic mound. It should look natural with no rashes, redness or ingrowing hairs.
It is now my preferred method as it is cheap, or as cheap as shaving, but not angry hedgehog if you are late getting round to the task of dealing with the regrowth.
The creams do not smell so bad these days, nor as strong a smell. The after treatment is VERY important, as is being patient, do patch tests to find your sensitivity and in what reas, then time carefully remembering the clock is running untill you wash off. Scraping and how rough to scrape/scrub you will learn so start gentle and work your way up. Good results should be seen after a week, really good results after a month.

I hope that helps.
Steve

Been shaving for decades. Good hot shower, gel shave cream, pull the skin taught, and enjoy the smoothness
