Several hours after incorrectly shaving my pubic hair

FTFY

[–]AntiCitizenJuan 62 points63 points ago

I guess standing in a warm shower for ten minutes and using plenty of shaving cream is just too hard for some people

[–]mastermikeyboy 8 points9 points ago

Did all that and the first month was hell. Tried gold band on it after and some other stuff. but in the end it was Nivea Anti Irritation after shaving balm that did the trick for me. used that for a while and now i got no problems what so ever.

[–]Koshatnik 6 points7 points ago

i just use triple antibiotic, also prevents ingrown hairs and is like $2 or $3 a giant tube if you go generic

[–]gradually_dutch 6 points7 points ago

... I'm about to buy out the store

[–]Koshatnik 0 points1 point ago

yea just wait a few minutes after you finish shaving and have rinsed it. also using noxema (or the generic, again, obviously) while still in the shower gets the skin really clean which double prevents the ingrowns.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]bozzwtf 0 points1 point ago

If you just want the antibiotic, I would use Neosporin cream, not ointment.

If you're trying to save a few bucks and own some moisturizer, you can really pick up any antibiotic ointment. When you apply it, mix it in your palm first with a sensitive skin moisturizer. Same thing works on your neck too. Huge difference. /r/wicked_edge

[–]Koshatnik 0 points1 point ago

its just called triple antibiotic, its like a Vaseline type consistency, but in a tube. go to any cvs, grocery store, etc and they will guaranteed have it. its usually in the first aid area i think, but just ask if you can't find it. its usually in a yellow bottle, its like A&D which i think would probably work just as well

[–]ICantKnowThat 0 points1 point ago

Nivea is amazing.

Man here. Don't wax your balls.

[–]KillerOs13 62 points63 points ago

I'd like to upvote this to raise awareness.

[–]le-skwrl 1 point2 points ago

I cringed.

[–]dulyelectedmobster -2 points-1 points ago

Why's that? I've been getting full brazilian waxes every 6 weeks or so for two or three years. The wife and I love it. Anyway, the balls are not the most painful part of waxing by far.

[–]Lyulf 0 points1 point ago

its the face that is most painful.

[–]dulyelectedmobster 3 points4 points ago

In all seriousness, I always hear people complain about how much it has to hurt to get your balls waxes or to get your asshole waxed.. Neither really hurt that much. What hurts like hell, however, is right at the base of the shaft. There's that dense tuft of hair that grows in a few directions... That's where it really hurts. I've actually fallen asleep while she's been waxing the other bits. It's pretty relaxing.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]dulyelectedmobster 0 points1 point ago

Brazilian waxes at the place I go to in MN cost $45 for women and $55 for men. Not sure about other places. Unfortunately, it seems to be really hard to find places (in the midwest, anyway) that will do male brazilian waxing.

[–]kevmo 0 points1 point ago

Only $10 more for a man? It seems like doing a guy would be much more difficult.

[–]dulyelectedmobster 0 points1 point ago

I actually asked about that. My wife's wax is over in about 15 minutes, while mine takes closer to a half hour. Evidently, she bases her prices around how much wax is used rather than how long it takes or how difficult it is.

So, getting your upper arms done is like $35, despite being incredibly easy to do and taking only 5 minutes because of how much wax it takes.

[–]thugmonkey 10 points11 points ago

NEVER! Only trim.

[–]Razakhstan 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, for guys, only trim. I don't get why you'd want to shave, it looks weird. I guess I just like men to look like men and not hairless chihuahuas.

[–]Danorexic 2 points3 points ago

If you go the trimming route, buy a Body Groom. Best investment you can make.

[–]somewhatcleverEel -2 points-1 points ago

And here's the shameless plug

[–]brunswick 2 points3 points ago

I do not understand why a man would ever completely shave (or wax for god's sake). Being nice and tidy is good. Being a ken doll is not.

[–]_Mattman_ 3 points4 points ago

[–]nebula27 -1 points0 points ago

This is true. I just got the Phillips Norelco and its frickin awesome. No rashes no itches.

[–]Marley_Avalos 47 points48 points ago

I shave at at least once every three days. Have had no problems

[–]im_too_literal 9 points10 points ago

I can't shave more than once a week or it turns into butchery; I guess it grows in super-slow.

(Chick, by the way).

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Cancelok 11 points12 points ago

BUT SHE'S A GIRL!!!! OMG

[–]im_too_literal 7 points8 points ago

I put it in because shaving for women involves different things than for men. I don't have to worry about the possibility of accidentally cutting the thing that, if damaged, could make me incapable of having children. So for me it's just a discomfort issue, not an overblown fear of infertility or anything like that.

[–]Hammerfist_Pucconi 0 points1 point ago

The best analogy I've heard is that it's like shaving a beard blindfolded with your tongue out. Confirm?

[–]im_too_literal 1 point2 points ago

They invented mirrors for a reason; that's all I will say.

[–]AwwYea 0 points1 point ago

cutting the thing that, if damaged, could make me incapable of having children.

I think you're going places with a razer that you shouldn't go.

[–]im_too_literal 0 points1 point ago

Well, I did say that I don't have to worry about it since all of my functional reproductive organs are internal. I understand that there's a good deal of very-evolutionarily-justifiable fear about damage to male genitals, so I could understand how more is at stake for men with a sharp blade near their stuff.

[–]jcanci 1 point2 points ago

If we get a little cut on our penis, it sucks, not the end of the world. The most sensitive part of our junk is the tip of our dicks, and anyone who is shaving there probably has other problems. Girls, while the really important stuff is inside, the really tender stuff is outside. I imagine a cut on the labia, or god forbid your clit, would be excruciatingly painful.

Point being (see what I did there?) its not like we are shaving with a straight edge razor and we are gonna die of bloodloss if we cut it shaving. I personally use women's razors, because they dont go as close as a face razor and have a nice safety buffer all around it. I havn't cut myself since I was a teenager, and even when I did, it was not a big deal at all.

[–]AloeRP 0 points1 point ago

Why the fuck do I have you RES tagged as "Pussyfester"?!

[–]jcanci 1 point2 points ago

You are "weird twin 1." You and some other guy were in agreement about something fucked up, I cant remember what. I told you two that I was going to tag y'all as "weird twin 1" and "weird twin 2." Well, weird twin 2's comeback was, "that's cool, I will tag you as "Pussyfester."

[–]AloeRP 0 points1 point ago

Aaah, that'll do Pussyfester, that'll do.

[–]brunswick -3 points-2 points ago

Well men should never shave down there. Only trim.

[–]solidstripes 37 points38 points ago

It's amazing how the things which immediately relate to my life miraculously show up on Reddit literally, 2 hours after the thing actually happens. I love Reddit.

[–]jimb3rt 12 points13 points ago

What if I told you they've been here the whole time, you just haven't noticed.

[–]Thumbz8 5 points6 points ago

This is the very first time I've ever seen anything about shaving pubes. Ever. And, coincidentally, 3 days ago, first time.

[–]PR0CT0R 2 points3 points ago

Same. The internet needs to get out of my head.

[–]alphanumerica 1 point2 points ago

My head needs to get out of the internet.

[–]jimb3rt 0 points1 point ago

Probably a different subreddit.

[–]kickpants 0 points1 point ago

There was something on it just a few weeks ago, you must not have seen it.

[–]solidstripes 0 points1 point ago

Even if they were, I had just gotten out of the shower a bit before that with a successful manscaping session.

[–]atticusfunk 0 points1 point ago

My god. YOU TOO?

[–]josolsen 11 points12 points ago

It gets a lot better and more comfortable the next few times around. The itch is worse with it IMO

[–]patrimac 4 points5 points ago

The worst part for me is when its not smooth enough and ingrown hairs

[–]Ihadacow 19 points20 points ago

Reminds me of this story of regret.

[–]deprivedchild -2 points-1 points ago

I am never going to attempt to get rid of my ass hair now.

[–]meatrocket8 64 points65 points ago

trim, don't shave. now you know. and knowing is half the battle.

[–]mixedblessing 19 points20 points ago

G.I. Joeeeee!

[–]Gurgi3 10 points11 points ago

I usually like figuring these things out on my own... kinda like a boss battle.

[–]Kev1395 2 points3 points ago

DO NOT PUT ON KNOB AND BULLOCKS..... I almost died laughing.

[–]Fawenah 3 points4 points ago

Shave your balls and trim the rest I say. No way I am going near my balls with two deady fast-sawing metal cutters. And shaving the balls is so easy and it looks better than with some sad, here and there hair.

[–]GhettoRice 1 point2 points ago

The other half is "Laser" hair removal.

[–]yangx 1 point2 points ago

And FYI the irritation from shaving is the hair pushed down into your skin.

[–]Braindawg123 2 points3 points ago

PORKCHOP SANDWICHES!

[–]CYRlX 2 points3 points ago

Too bad your ass got saaaaaacked.

[–]Braindawg123 1 point2 points ago

who wants a body massage????

[–]totallyboredtonight 36 points37 points ago

I hate hearing everyone say that you should trim and not shave. My ex shaved his, and my god, I could not keep my hands and mouth off of his balls. So soft, so smooth...

I can't say for sure how different it is for men, but I'm pretty sure if you're having this experience, it shouldn't be "never again." It should be, "never again like this!" because you're doing it wrong. Give it another shot and do it right this time.

Some of us ladies really love it and appreciate it.

[–]moltencheese 81 points82 points ago

[–]SlashCamp 0 points1 point ago

[–]Stylux 12 points13 points ago

Shaving your balls does not equal shaving your pubes. I shave my balls, trim my pubes.

[–]Ralt 4 points5 points ago

This. This. This. This. My ex would rarely ever blow her ex-husband, but it was rare for me to go a day without me getting to put my genitalia into her mouth. Do it guys, there will be no regrets. Anyone who complains about itching did not do it right, or is simply on their first time, are you not a man? Deal with it.

[–]slapded 0 points1 point ago

Where did I go wrong.....

[–]Flarehl 0 points1 point ago

Some of us ladies dont understand that sometimes, no matter how right you do something, it still stabs you in the back 5 times over. Not a complaint, just a resignated mumble.

[–]the_sneak 33 points34 points ago

I'm surprised no one has mentioned getting waxed instead. FYI, it is way better than shaving, lasts longer, usually performed by a hot chick, plus you're helping your local business by having someone do it for you. For those of you whining about how much it will hurt, don't be such a pussy, think of the benefits: repeated blow jobs and unabashed threesomes.

[–]ContstantExcuses 22 points23 points ago

I've been looking into it lately but I can't help but imagine having an awkward boner...

Upvote for cakeday!

[–]Thefriendlyfaceplant 4 points5 points ago

Having a boner would only help I guess.

[–]TASTY_SANDWICH 10 points11 points ago

you would have to be ten kinds of retarded to get your balls waxed you fuck.

[–]CrazyPurpleBacon 2 points3 points ago

Might end up getting them ripped off if you did.

[–]spases 0 points1 point ago

so is mr. miyagi right? just gotta wax it up? i can imagine dat pain. i can also imagine having my hand down my pants all day because of how smooth it would be...

[–]im_too_literal 1 point2 points ago

People with sensitive skin should seriously think before waxing, imo. I got a waxing kit once and tested it on the inside of my arm (like you should do for any cosmetic product, by the way), and I ended up ripping skin off. Never, never again.

[–]knestleknox 3 points4 points ago

Imagine if you had used your dick...

[–]im_too_literal 2 points3 points ago

You mean the one I don't have?

[–]Sunflower_Fortunado 4 points5 points ago

Which only makes it a more terrible idea.

[–]LaverniusTucker 2 points3 points ago

Downvote for you. I've heard stories of a guy getting his testicles ripped open when getting waxed. Maybe not super common, but any chance is too high a chance.

[–]CrazyPurpleBacon 1 point2 points ago

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

[–]Alyssa_xD 0 points1 point ago

I'm a chick, but thinking about that happening made me agree, don't get your balls waxed0.o

[–]captain_zavec 0 points1 point ago

I've looked into this, nowhere around me will do that for males. Also, what's the minimum age usually required? Just out of curiosity.

[–]Notyourfaja 5 points6 points ago

Trim the bush with an electric shaver then shave the balls. That's the only way to go.

[–]tony1449 3 points4 points ago

How do you shave the balls, it seems to be impossible.

[–]Treberto 3 points4 points ago

An ironing board, a firm hand and lots of gumption.

[–]Notyourfaja 0 points1 point ago

Scrotum, sack, coin purse, etc. It's a delicate procedure, use a razor that's not really sharp but sharp enough that it's not going to tug on the hairs.

[–]tony1449 -1 points0 points ago

So use a lady's razor?

[–]Notyourfaja 0 points1 point ago

I've never used one before, but sure.

[–]tony1449 1 point2 points ago

Haha! This is not a subject you just say "yeah I think that'll work".

[–]Notyourfaja 0 points1 point ago

What I usually do is get one of those expensive gillette razors that come in a one pack, shave my face once or twice then use it to shave my sack from there on out. I've never had any issues with it and it's pretty damn smooth.

[–]barbecue_scotch 0 points1 point ago

Try it when they're still cold. They stay more still for a razor that way.

[–]revwhack 1 point2 points ago

once you shave if you don't keep it up at day 5 its like having 2 angry hedgehogs viciously dry humping your thigh. At 9 days you're into full blown ferret legging territory.

Get electrolysis instead. My scrotum feels like a turtle shell.

[–]Klamped 0 points1 point ago

Found a great technique for balls. Keep a blunt razor in the shower to maintain the hairlessness. Those that are too blunt to shave you face are perfect. Those wont induce the horrible burning sensation.

[–]WeldingMouse 0 points1 point ago

It's not that...

It's the horrible stubble you get that makes it feel like a thousand microscopic pygmies with blowdarts are laying siege to your junk whenever it sways and rubs against said stubble.

Go with the grain, use a clean razor, put Women's antiperspirant with aloe on shaved area.

Warning: The antiperspirant will affect sex/fapping ability as it absorbs moisture.

[–]nienna22 0 points1 point ago

Echoing a couple of girls: don't shave; get it professionally waxed, at least the first time, get some exfoliant and aloe, use exfoliant every other day and aloe whenever it itches. I really liked it when my bf agreed to get a manzillian--it was nice and clean and i didn't get any of his stupid pubic hair in my mouth. Shows that you're considerate.

[–]remhawk99 0 points1 point ago

You have to shave down and with generous amounts of shaving cream. Be careful when you go below your genatals, it takes a bit of skill. Just be calm and accept that there will always be a bit of hair down there.

[–]CaptainToast09 0 points1 point ago

I have advanced eczema. You're lucky.

[–]badger_the 0 points1 point ago

Never go bald eagle - just trim it short, so it's only ~1 cm above the surface of the skin. No worries.

[–]Alexis_ 0 points1 point ago

Protip, the best thing I have ever learned on reddit (the person who posted this tip said he had learned it from a professional stripper :)

Deodorant is great for relieving pain and swelling around ingrown hairs

Seriously, slather that stuff on the area. It will both reduce the risk of ingrown hairs and also cool the area if they appear.
