Ok...here's what I've discovered. And don't ask how.

1. It's ok to use an electric trimmer to shorten the hairs prior to shaving them completely off, but never...EVER... use an electric razor to attempt shaving them smooth.

2. Depiliatory cremes work well to remove hair...but NOT ON YOUR BALLS! It burns like hell and leaves your sac looking like a flaking cellophane shopping bag. Very disturbing. Not permanent, as the skin will heal itself, but VERY DISTURBING!!!

3. Shaving gel or cream for "Sensitive Skin" slathered on a few minutes prior to shaving will help to soften up the hairs and will make it easier to shave. You might have to go over things two or three times.

4. Never shave against the grain. It should be pretty easy to determine which direction your pubes grow...shave with it, not against it.

5. Take pictures for all the ladies.
