So I’m a pretty hairy guy and I’ve tried lots of ways to shave my member but it never looks as clean or as shaven as some you see in porn etc.
Anyone got any advice on what to use? Creams state not to use them in that area but I can’t see how people get so clean down there without them?
Any advice is really appreciated, thanks.

I recommend these highly, with any shaving cream. They shave well, and it’s hard to cut yourself!

Don’t shave, trim and go to wax salon.
Smooth saling for weeks.
First time painfull, not gonna lie … but it get’s better.
Buzzer, Phillips OneBlade
Porn guys would likely laser
When you shower, just use soap as shaving cream.
I personally decided a few years back to splurge a bit on a Wahl Senior trimmer, its the kind of brand you will see alot of youtube barbers use.
It has a switch that lets you move the guard forward so it doesn’t grab your skin.
After shaving down to around 1-2mm with the trimmer, I just use a Gilette Body Razor for the rest
I’m very hairy too, but I would never shave my pubes all the way down to nothing, like why try to look like a porn star? I just trim with hair scissors to where all the hair is about half an inch long, looks clean, never had any complaints…
Just short trim. You dont need to go full blank and porn has nothing to do with reality.
Laser
I just use an electric razor. Beard trimmer for my pubes. . On my balls I use a standard razor. Just take my time.
I’ve had a few nicks here and there. Not in a long time though.
Not trying to look like a pornstar 24/7. Just shave it all off. And then when it grows back long enough to annoy me, shave it down again.
I’m married and my wife doesn’t care how long it gets. Thank god she shaves regularly.
But I do get considerable more BJ’s when it’s shaved off.
Buy the lady leg razors, they’re better designed for your delicates, and you need to be careful with your sack.
Give the top a buzz cut and you’re done, my guy!
Beyond that, there’s no advice to give, hair is gonna grow. Just time the trim to the day of the event!
They have public hair barbers. It’s a thing.
Extra sensitive hair remover. Works well for me
Trim and tweeze. It’s time consuming, but doesn’t hurt as much as waxing.
I speak for the vasectomy-brothers: So. Itchy. After. 1. Week.
Gradually grade it down from stomach to the base of your penis with some clippers. You don’t want to go full noise because it will look silly in contrast with the hair on your body. Jump in the shower then razor on your balls and crack, just take your time.
You’ll fuck it up first time but stick with it and you’ll get better and faster. It feels better and more hygienic.
Just a Gillette sensitive razor, but I cba to keep it smooth. I’m not 5, I’m a grown ass man with pubes. Just keep it tidy.
Don’t compare yourself to porn.
I use my beard trimmer on all hair above the dick and then shave my dick and balls using a Gilette razor. If you haven’t done it before it might be a good idea to start with a scissor or reduce the length a bit before starting with the razor.
Manscaped trimmer.
You don’t shave your pubic region as it can lead to cuts that increase risks of catching disease with partners.
I personally use a trimmer, with 3 guard all around. And for the penis and testicles specifically , I used to use NAIR products however now I just use a dedicated nose/ear hair clipper.
It’s safer than the regulator trimmer and even though it cuts hair really close to the skin, it doesn’t irritate or cause damage! Also it’s small enough that it contours all the areas with no problem
Razor. Shower. Go to town
Gillette makes a line of razors for body. I use daily in shower. Been shaving bald for at least a decade. The wife is also completely bald, but she got laser.
It does get stubbly if ignored for a day. I recently learned that men can get waxed. Was thinking about trying that.
I just use my wife’s leg razor on the balls, taint, and butt crack and trim every thing else down to like 1/16th inch. It doesn’t give that baby look that some people get weird about but also doesn’t leave unsuckable balls.
Buzz the top, razor the balls.
Trimmer for clearing the jungle.
Razor for smoothing everything out.
Dont rush it. You spend 7 hours a day staring at a screen. Spend 10 minutes and do this right.
Just keep it trimmed. Why would you want to look like a prepubescent teen again?
Creams can be used but they don’t last long at all and the stubble is just that. Stubble. Like sandpaper to a vagina. Same with shaving. I use the Phillips body groomer for the balls but I wax my cock sweater. It is visually stunning when done, if I do say so myself, and it lasts about 4 weeks. When the hair does come back, it comes back soft. So it makes my wife happy as well.
With the exception of laser treatments, as far as I’m concerned and after try countless different things, waxing is the way to go.
I had a pro do it a few times, then once confident how it was done, I purchased my own wax pot and tools to do it myself. Saved a fortune. My cock is not only impressive looking without hair. ( looks so much longer) but is silky smooth and feels lovely for my wife( no matter where I put it. )
Brazilian wax once per month. Will never go back to shaving again.
Nair.. or use a safety razor
I start by bringing it down to ~1/2cm with a trimmer using a comb as a guard. Then from there, I hop in the shower and just use a regular old safety razor (Gillette Mach 3 for me). I know it’s going to seem a little scary at first, but for some reason safety razors just work really well, even on the dangly bits. You’ll have to make multiple passes to round up any strays, but I haven’t found any safer or easier way to do it. I guess it’s like peeling boiled eggs: if you want it to come out perfect, do it under running water.
I started getting the nether regions waxed, and I could never go back to shaving.
I’m a fan of waxing. Only hurts for a few seconds, but so worth it. I just have my ass, taint and balls waxed every 3 months or so. The first time I- ouch. But if you keep it up, no biggie. Find a manscaper in your area. Mine in Orange County is fantastic.
Believe it or not, I use a one of those old timey double edge “safety” razors down there. Never have cut myself. But I have cut myself with a buzzer down there when trying to get super close.
Just do whatever you do to your face. Also don’t wax. Some girls say hairless men are like children and it freaks them out.
God I hate what porn has done to us. Normal men have body hair, and “shaving your member” is such a waste of time (yes, I’ve done it in the past). Having hairy genitals is much better than looking like a plucked chicken and dealing with ingrown hairs, cuts, and scratches.
You can use a safety razor. It’s odd but the balls are immune to being cut by those blades.
Whatever you do, do NOT try hair removal cream. I burned the shit outta my balls with that stuff.
1 guard your whole body except your pits. This could require assistance or a long handle if you have a hairy back. 2 guard on the pubic region above the base of your shaft. Mach 3 (or higher) to clean shave your scrote and taint and any hairs on your shaft and right at the very base of your shaft. This is easier than you think. You’ll likely need to clean the razor b/t each swipe. It should be done in the shower. Stay soapy and wet for the shaving part but dry for the trimming part. You will need a handheld shower head to spray down yourself and your shower afterwards. There will be a hair critter that you’ll want to toss in the trash or toilet if you’re not on septic. I do this less than once a month. Makes the tree stand taller in the bushes and makes your muscles look more defined. Gets me a BJ everytime.
Razor and shaving cream. Just go slow. It’s sort of my relaxing, meditative time…hot shower, toss on a podcast, shave my junk. Great combo. Also, porn guys wax. You’ll never get a waxed look/feel by shaving.
If you want it CLEAN off then that’s a Brazilian. I use one of those pencil electric razors and it gets me pretty clean. I used to use the bigger electric trimmers but the clippers kept cutting the shaft. The clippers on this thing is so small that it doesn’t cut me. It takes longer but I like that I’m not cutting my dick anymore.
I use the electric trimmers and then after that I will use a regular razor with shaving cream in the shower. But if you want it completely gone you’ve got to wax and I don’t recommend that. It will just look weird if you’re completely smooth around your dick but extremely hairy everywhere else
Lawnmower 3.0 or newer! Works great around the balls and shaft!
Trim the bush with a number 2 guard, shave the balls with a razor, let everything else around it grow wild and glorious the way God intended.
Try venus razor which women use because that is very soft for use and without any cuts can easily shave the whole body if you want
Trim the pubes, shave the shaft and balls with a good razor.
Shaving the pubic region is a bad idea. I know of someone who lost a nut to an abscess that formed from an ingrown hair. Trim with scissors or a beard trimmer if you need to, but shaving is risky.
Electric razor with 3mm body guard, then a pink woman’s razor (the ones my wife buys… can’t think of the brand right now).
Magic shaving powder. I’ve used it for years. It’s a sensitive depilatory. Works great!
Get some Veet for men, makes swift work of it 😉🤭
Stop comparing yourself to porn, for one. As a fellow hairy guy, you’re probably never going to be that smooth unless you wax. Trim with scissors first, then electric clippers with a guard. Finally, if you want to be truly smooth, pull out a razor and be very, very careful to hold everything taut as you go so that nothing catches or knicks.
No Hair Crew for the snake, i just use a beard trimmer to a 2mm for everywhere else…
I’m not big on fully bald. Get a Norelco OneBlade shaving/grooming kit. It works great for knocking down the bush.
Ask your lady but in my experience, very few if any women like a shaved smooth guy like in porn. Ladies like some hair down there, but a clean shaft. Totally smooth looks weird to most women. Obviously everyone is different etc
As a hairy man myself, why would you want to shave it off? Embrace who you are and what you have. Some women find hair to be very masculine, and therefore very attractive.
Nair hair removal cream
Dont do it bro! Shaved balls and dicks look stupid especially if your a hairy dude…. Not to mention the amount of chaffing you will experience later…
You clean it up and keep it tidy down there. Buy an electric body shaver with a good guard; there’s nothing worse than clipping some ball sack skin off.
Find a preference that works for you, like 3-5 MM short but not too short…
Remember you’re a man, not a prepubescent boy
Veet extra gentle
The lady who does my wife’s waxing, also waxes me. I usually go for the full manzillian, I feel a lot more comfortable with no hair down there. Especially working in the heat.
Manscape razor or even an Amazon knock off. Get extra blades.
Venus razor for women. Lots of blades. Use them liberally.
Aveeno shaving cream. Use liberally.
You’ll probably have to use a razor blade over your body twice. And change blades after each use for the first couple times you do it. After about a month, you should be smooth as a baby bottom.
My brother in Christ you do NOT want nair down there. You. Do. Not. Want. Ammonia. Near. Your. Boys.
There’s waxing (yeah, it hurts & bleeds depending where) electrolysis (which can take multiple treatments) and laser hair removal ( … i don’t know anything about that, but i do like lasers, so there’s that)
Bonus info: in my early 20s i had the very bad and dumb idea to wax my beard. I thought ” Yoooooo the gf is glassy smooth, i would like my face to be that smooth (and smoochable to boot).
SO yeah.
Turns out, the hairs on your face have pretty deep roots, bled a lot more than i thought it could. … my face was super smooth though.
Trim. Don’t shave.
Women’s safety razors and light on pressure. In the shower usually works best.
Getting tempted to make a video on how I do mine, this question is asked a lot, I really do think it comes down to technique, also knowing how your skin reacts in different areas, like I trim the pubic area short, but shave my lower shaft and balls because if I shave the pubic area I break out, it’s a case of learning how you react
Lawn mower.
Use a women’s razor. Best thing I ever did was use the missos razor. I figured if it worked on her bits, it’d work on mine 🤷
I’m a hairy dude, and the one time I shaved my junk, it just looked odd… like a silo in the middle of a crop circle in the middle of a field of abundant flowing stalks of wheat. And then there was the itching… never again.
Love me, love my love jungle.
Don’t shave. Use a hair trimmer designed for pubic hair.
I’ve used the Panasonic Body Hair Trimmer (the standard and the upgraded model) and the Meridian Trimmer, and the Panasonic is hands down superior. It’ll get you a close trim that looks like you shaved without the discomfort of hair growing back after shaving. After trimming, I go over the area with the foil attachment of my beard trimmer to get it smoother.
To reiterate: use a trimmer specifically designed for pubic hair (that means don’t use your hair clippers or your beard trimmer to trim your pubes).
The Manscaped trimmers did not have great reviews when I researched, so I can’t recommend them, but I will absolutely recommend the Panasonic to anyone, man or woman, who needs a good trimmer.
Use a trimmer on the bushy parts. I use my safety razor and regular shaving soap on the scrotum and taint. Just go carefully.
A manscape trimmer
Wax
Get waxed every 3-4 weeks
