Well the only way I come close to being successful is with a Mach 3 razor, a hot shower, and much much patience. I can only do it about 2-3 times a week (at most) because of the time involved. I am, ahem, rather fleshy so there's a good bit to maneuver around. Plus I'm pretty well blind so it's mostly done by touch.Originally Posted by truckinnhorsin
The one thing I can tell you that helps is to keep the area you're shaving as taut as possible while you're shaving it ...... if you end up going the shaving route. If I do that, and use a good shaving cream (hair conditioner works remarkably well -- I always seem to have some extra on my hands after I do my hair anyway) and a little TLC when I'm done, I minimize the discomfort and the razor burn.
