It is a growing trend for men to adopt the hair free body look. Increasingly we are seeing more and more men shaving not only their chest, but also their back, arms and legs too. What is a little less well known though is that the shaving of pubic hair is on the rise too.

The reasons for this trend? Well, hair free skin is easier to keep clean, and also makes it easier to check for unhealthy lumps and bumps in the testicles and scrotum. The other reason of course is that it can help to add interest to your sexual life particularly when in a long term relationship. Many women prefer men to be free of hair around their penis as they feel it is sexier and is less likely to harbor infections.

You should first shower and gently exfoliate the area to be shaved, so as to rid yourself of any dry skin particles that may have built up. If you have a lot of hair to contend with, then using scissors prior to using a razor is advisable. If you have particularly sensitive skin, then you might want to consider using a special electric razor, which are easier to use and are less harsh on your skin.

Once you have dried the area thoroughly, apply a shaving cream for sensitive skin all over the area, and then gently apply the razor to the head of the penis, shaving slowly and gently downwards around the shaft. Continue to shave down around the testicles, but do this slowly and with care to avoid any accidents. On completion of the shaving, you should then wash and exfoliate again.

If you are shaving for the first time, it is possible you may experience a rash erupting shortly afterwards. This can be treated with a cortisone cream obtainable from any pharmacy. In any event, it’s necessary to keep the area well moisturized, with a non perfume moisturizer, to keep the area from drying out.
