I just use soap and a regular two-bladed razor in the shower on the balls and immediate areas around the shaft and clippers/trimmers everywhere else, reapplying the soap as necessary. The key (for me) is keeping it wet to virtually eliminate any chance of nicks. That and a steady, nonrushed hand. After drying a quick rub of alcohol to check for nicks. A cool sensation pretty much means I'm good to go. A little bit of a burn suggests a nick. In that case I just stay inactive for a day or two to let it heal.
For those that don't do it, odds are you're missing out on some pretty good mileage with the ladies.
[To clarify, I use the clippers first, while I'm dry. For those that don't know, water and electricity don't mix]

(the screams still echo) I ened up doing it your way BUT only with Avon Skin so Soft or a bath oil, not soap. It's slicker than shaving cream and lets you see what your doing. I try using Nair and the like sometimes, but it doesn't seem to work. I was hoping the ladies would be abe to help out with some secrets here...?
