You are very lucky if you can do that without getting a shaving rash - horribly uncomfortable.

It does seem that people are getting a bit over-excited in the smoothness stakes. I can confirm that J only trimmed his pubes with scissors and never had a problem creating a good seal.

Henry, I have used a razor in the past but as my fuzz grows back it itches like crazy and found myself rubbing against things that were the same height just to relieve it and I am sure there have been some people watching that gave me weird looks and thought I was a perv, so stopped doing that!

Lyn, when the pump rep showed me how to use it and he did say to trim a bit more I did, in fact, still get a good seal and a view of what things were like years ago( good to see the old chap again).

John, I am starting today so with the vacuuming ( my wife thinks I am doing the hoovering later) so will catch you up in the growth stakes, then will be ready for some action

Thanks all for the comments, different viewpoints even on this light hearted post, good to see you all thinking.

Regards Chris/Woody

In that case please do keep razors well away from the area: no one wants to see a man humping kitchen work tops!

I used coconut body butter to soothe a shaving rash. I guess any of the shaving balm products would do much the same.

For those of use who use incontinence pads,  I think an added issue  about shaving or waxing 'down there', is that pad wearing increases the humidity level, which in turn increases the likelihood of inflammation/infection at the hair follicles. With the better weather supposedly on the way, general sweatiness will accentuate this. 

It's only common sense that  attending to 'groin' hygiene, keeping things dry-attending to skin care is going to help minimise any itchiness associated with shaving the area.

Well for babies all the mums use sudacrem and baby powder so perhaps you could try it out and report back with progress report. I recommend sudacrem for most things as a previous post a week or so ago triggered a response from me.

Sweaty crutch syndrome needs to be kept under control.
