Its a pain but certainly is nice in a lot of ways. I have tried many ways and so far I found the Philips OneBlade to be the best and easiest. Its not a absolute smooth as in a wet face shave. More a one day stubble which is good enough for me. I occasionally follow up with a wet shave. I saw wet as in regular face shave. The oneblade can be used wet but doesn't shave any closer.
I've shaved for years now. It just fells and looks great. I shave once a week, that does me and my wife liked it to, a bonus.
Shaving is preferred, personally. Feels great to the touch, could see more of me (recently started filming), and FWBs says groomed/shaved compliments a cock.
I've used a hair removal cream a few times. First time I nicked my GFs cream and it worked well enough that she didn't mind. Used that same cream several times and it leaves me totally smooth and stubble free, which is the important part because she r-e-a-l-l-y liked.
I must try this crew, but I will need a lot as I shave from the neck down and takes about 15 min and bath another's 30 mins. All precious time from wanking ha ha.
I don't know how it works on the body but I did once use it on my face - curious to see if I could avoid shaving. It brought me out in a rash.
I just started shaving myself a few months ago. While I'm doing it, I usually get a hardon. I don't shave myself smooth, but just enough "fur" to be noticeable. I like using my beard clippers and a double edge razor for my balls. After I'm done, I'll lube myself up and start stroking myself.
Had to shave for surgery 5 years ago, loved how it looked and felt, so I just kept doing it. Now I'll never go back. Cooler, cleaner, bigger, younger, look like a porn star...all good. I also am a big fan of small bikini and thong swimsuits, hair popping out the sides and top isn't a good look. Philips Body Groom does the job. According to their ads, you get a extra "optical inch". True, that.
I use the Philips One Body Blade up top, it leaves just a tiny bit so it doesn't get ingrown, below just a regular blade - sometimes her razor in the shower for a quick zip zip smoothing for the boys.
