I prefer a guy trimmed personally. Much like I have a landing strip,
That being said, if you have a steady hand using a DE razor (any Merkur is my recommendation) is the way to go. I don't understand all of this 5 blade vibrating crap honestly. A DE razor is a better shave less often. I can understand not wanting to take one to your balls unless you know what you're doing but that's why they made lemons to practice on
. If you have an issue with razor burn or ingrown hairs, use unscented deodorant (ban rollon) on the area immediately afterwards.
I personally use an electric razor on everything and then a single bladed razor on the goods and below. I have extremely sensitive skin so if I try to smooth shave or wax everything (besides the strip) the way I used to, I end up with oh about 25 ingrown hairs maybe more. I've tried everything from TendSkin to the band trick to making my own homemade TendSkin to crying to my waxer to fix this but it's just my skin type.
I figure if I take some time off I can let the goods grow out and get a wax THERE (no problems there, only the top and inside of my thigh area, everything else behaves) and be super smooth
And no, waxing doesn't hurt as bad as you'd think. I found 10 seconds of tattooing to be worse than an entire wax session. You just need a fast and skilled waxer.
