I am wanting to shave my downstairs and have never tried it so I am looking for any tips/pointers for the first time shaver.

BE VERY CAREFUL !!! It is not an easy thing to shave at all. I do it over the bathroom sink I find doing stand up much easier. I use the same mug and brush i use to shave my face. Only the brave apply after shave ...

First, clip the hair as short as you can with scissors. Then either soak in a bath for a while to soften the stubble up, or leave the shaving cream on for a few minutes to accomplish the same thing. Use a new blade and go with the grain, one stroke, then rinse the blade and do the next stroke. Keep shaving cream on the area to keep the hair soft. After you do one down stroke everywhere you want to shave, repeat the entire process, again shaving with the grain. After that round, then you lather up one last time and can shave against the grain to get the smoothest result.

Thanks for the tips but my concern was shaving my sack. I am just not sure how to go about that one.

I wrap my fingers around the base of my sack and pull a bit and making my balls stand out. It streeches the skin making it easier to get a good shave. I guess you could tie a thin rope rope around the base of your sack to get the same effect alothough I never tried it, for shaving anyway.

Trim off excess then use nair or some other hair remover. No nicks scrapes or chance of self sacrifice. Works for me.

Just don't leave it on to long....from what I understand the consequences can be dire.
