Part of the reason I decided to write this piece is because the topic of male grooming comes up regularly with many of my clients. I work with a lot of body builders and fit- ness professionals who necessarily want to rid excess hair prior to a meet or competi- tion. Rather than send these folks an email with a bunch of links to different websites, I thought it just made sense to author something substantive – right here on Guy Coun- seling. What follows is a detailed walkthrough on how you shave your pubic area the right way for men. While there may be other information on available on the web, much of what’s out there skips important steps. In fact, I recently saw one article that I swear had to have been written by someone who is not a guy. It’s important to state that if you have made the decision to shave your pubic area (or trim), you will likely experience several benefits. These include: -Less friction around your groins -Reduction of unpleasant odors -A more pleasant feeling when wearing briefs -Sense of feeling fresh And so the decision to shave and trim your genitals isn’t that much different from guys who choose to shape their goatee. The hope is to create an end result that looks at- tractive with practical functionality. Male Genital Shaving: Supplies On the surface, it may seem intuitive to think you only need a can of shaving cream and a razor to do the job. Sorry to break it to you man but it’s a bit more involved than that. Below I am going to list out a series of supplies that you really should consider if you are serious about shaving your genitals. I’ve taken the liberty of linking many of these products directly to Amazon so that you can pick them up with privacy and ease. Many of these same guy grooming tools can also be found on my stocking stuffer ideas for men page. 19
