Has anyone used an epilator to shave your balls?

I hate shaving my nuts with a razor. I always end up cutting myself a few times. Luckily never cut myself badly. Then I end up with ingrown hairs. I have tried things like nair and I hate the burnt hair smell that seems to cling to you for days no matter how many showers you take. Never been waxed but I can imagine the price would add up over the years. I recently read about using an epilator to pluck the hair down there. I heard you could get your scrotum pinched inside it if your not careful.

Basically what I want to know is if anyone has experience with this method and any pros or cons that go with it.
