How do you shave your balls? Every time I've tried with my trimmer it pinches and tears my sack and I'm too traumatized to try it again unless there's a full proof bloodless method. Usually I just pluck as many as I can tolerate while I'm sitting around watching YouTube or somethin. But it's such a pain (literally). Pic unrelated

I have experienced the trimmer nicks as well, maybe a shaver would be better than a trimmer.

But i just use a razor now, either a multi-blade men’s razor or women’s body hair razors. Also i use conditioner instead of shaving foam, works just as well and easier to see what I’m doing.

Yeah OP please use a razor? Razors are made for shaving, trimmers are for trimming.

Actual tips for shaving I can give you:

  • Stretch the skin a little with your free hand to make sure you have a smooth surface (helps you not cut into the skin) (unless you have perfectly smooth non wrinkled balls)
  • As with any body hair I'd recommend trimming before shaving so the hairs are shorter and easier to shave
  • In the same vein, frequent shaving helps keep the hairs short and makes shaving easier
  • As someone else said it might be nice to use conditioner instead of shaving cream. Personally I never use shaving cream anyway because it doesn't help me at all lol. It anything make sure your skin is hydrated, it'll make shaving a lot smoother
