Male shaving in the anal area.

So how exactly can one go about doing this? I have heard that if you shave it there is a maddening itch that appears a couple of days later. Should I just trim it. I have never had a complaint but it is a little wild down there.

Best place is in the shower; you'll need a good mirror and plenty of light. Take a good, hot shower, and soap up the area real well. fill up a bowl with water, then turn off the shower Lather up the area with shaving cream. Use a good quality razor, like a Gillette Fusion. Start on the underside of the scrotum and work back. Rinse off the razor in the bowl off water. You may need to repeat a couple times to get it real smooth. Turn the shower back on and rinse off. After you've dried off, apply some A+D ointment to the shaved area. If you shave that area every two or three days, you shouldn't have any itching.

If you've never shaved there before, you'll feel the difference, and I think you'll like it! Clean up after BM's is easier. If you have a partner giving you enemas, she'll like it too - you'll look like a baby, and she'll really enjoy "playing" with you before she puts the enema nozzle in you!

Or you can take a class in bonsai or topiary sculpture! Just kidding, my guy keeps asking me to do this and I've been a little reluctant because personally, I don't care for men to be bald down there. However, a litte pruning of the garden wouldn't be amiss. Hmmm, perhaps that would be a good activity this weekend...

I've been doing this since 2002 and let me tell you it's a commitment because you have to do it every day in order to remain free of irritation. The good news is that once you get into this routine it becomes just that, routine. Here's how I do it.

First I always do it in the shower and forget about mirrors and expensive shaving creams. Use a Gillette Fusion Razor or a Schick Hydro Razor (don't let all the blades scare you) along with Nivea Cream soft and a as it's incredibly slippery and makes it easy to pass the razor over any and all of your sensitive areas.

If you are in a stand up shower you can always squat and this will give you all the freedom of movement you will need. If you are in a regular tub with shower fixture, start by placing your foot on the soap tray that is usually located just below waist height. This will allow you to shave in a position similar to squatting.

Next is the hardest and most delicate part although once you get the hang of it you will find that you can do it very quickly and efficiently. The hardest part is learning the movements but like any movement you have to teach your hands, they will get it and it will become automatic and easier with every shave. It's all done by feel but trust me it WILL get easier and eventually you will be able to do it all in less than 5 mins.

Every stroke around your ass-hole is done from the middle OUT and AGAINST the grain of the hair. Start at the top of your crack and work your way down to your ass-hole. Give it quick feel with your hand to make sure everything is smooth with AND against the grain. When doing your perineum, your strokes start at your asshole and UP towards your nut sack. Shave around your nutsack and the "bikini line" to make sure everything is smooth but don't shave the middle part of you nut sack unless you truly want to be 100% smooth. I find that shaving the entire nutsack often leads to unnecessary irritation after doing it for a few days. After that, shave above your dick to make sure that you are totally smooth and that's that. Remember, the smoother you shave the more comfortable you'll be all day. After you get the hang of it, you should be able to do this in under 5 mins. And don't be afraid to pass the razor over the area again if you're not convinced it's smooth enough.

Once you are out of the shower. Dry off the area and apply this product:

The salicylic acid in the moisturizer will prevent red bumps from forming.

Last step in all this maintenance is to keep the area slick all day so there is no friction. This is done by applying a very small amount of silicone lube to the "bikini line crack" and your ass crack. You don't need much but you DO need it and don't bother experimenting with other lubes. I've tried them all and silicone lube works the BEST. Trust me I've been doing this for over 10 years.

Surprisingly enough, this whole process as tiresome as it was to read should only take you a total of ten mins to complete.... Much less time that it took me to type this out and proof read it.

Good luck and enjoy your new look and feel. I do every day 😉

If you have a partner why not ask them if they would like to do it? No worse than shaving other areas of the body. Could be turned into an erotic form of foreplay maybe. Suggest a shaving foam though.

Shaving foams are great but it gets expensive if you're doing it every day.

Well maybe I'm not ready for a full shave. I think I'll trim it a bit and see how that goes before I make the decision to potentially lie in agony. Thanks a lot for the feedback, I am impressed with how much information I received and I appreciate that you took the time to answer.

This is not as big of a pain as it sounds. I will do this about once a month simply for hygienic reasons. More often for fun if I'm feeling frisky, and I don't notice much in the way of irritation. I handle the process in the shower and use a bit of conditioner for lube. I squat down low and work from the middle out using light pressure. I shave with one hand and check my work with the other.

Once you get the hang of working by touch its a quick thing. I recommend going for it.

I shave my ass and hole smooth! It looks and feets amazing!

Do you use a blade or an electric?

My wife has shaved my ass a few times. I love the feeling but it is bothersome when it grows back. Probably would be better if it was kept shaved on a regular basis.

Don't EVER shave your ass and expect things to be fine. This feeling only lasts a maximum of 24 hours before you make either the painful decision to let the ass hair grow back in and "endure" the pain in the meantime

OR

keep shaving your ass every day. Follow my tutorial and you will feel great all day. Don't follow it and you will experience some of the same things that were in that mellow dramatic, long winded horror story.

My girlfriend shaves my butt in fact we just shaved each other last night. I normally just keep the area around my penis and sack shaved but when we have a chance we do a complete shaving of each other. I like my girlfriends butt nice a smooth and hair free and I think because I do it to her she does it back to me.

A few things I can say about a smooth shaven butt.

It feels awesome. I love it.

It is a lot easier to wipe and clean the area as some others have said but I notice that after about 2 or 3 days I do get very uncomfortable down there. Almost like it gets chapped. Very uncomfortable to wipe after I have a BM. If you apply corn starch to keep it dry this seems to help a lot and cornstarch on smooth skin down there feels really good.

I don't really have a problem with itching maybe slightly as it starts to grow back but not a big issue for me.

One thing that I do notice is that without hair around your hole it is very hard to let a silent fart go. It takes a lot of control to let out your gas and not make any sound.

I would give it a try. It grows back fast and it really isn't all that bad.

I started shaving all my pubic hair years ago for hygiene reasons. I don't have massive amounts of pubic hair, but they are super long. After a few days the hairs regrowing around the anus really start to get uncomfortable, so you have to keep them trimmed once a week. Not a big deal, takes 30 sec in a hot shower. I recently paid for laser hair removal and did the whole Brazilian. Best money ever spent, but painful. My gfriend loves to play from my balls to my anus, especially the perenium. She really gets off on it, which turns me on.

I am not shaved myself...but have shaved my wife.

I shave that area about every two weeks because I like the hygienic feeling from being completely clean down there.

Don\'t EVER shave your ass and expect things to be fine. This feeling only lasts a maximum of 24 hours

I would have to disagree with Owen's quote above. I shave once every two to three weeks and I never have any irritation or discomfort. I shave with a Gillette Fusion razor, away from the hole, wash with soap and then put on a razor burn cream to prevent any irritation. If I forget to shave for a month or more I may need to use hair clippers first, and the best one to use is the Philips Bodygroom. It cuts very close. I used it on my balls once but I prefer the feeling of a razor.

If one wants to avoid razor burn or the possibility of nicking the skin then the Philips Bodygroom is the perfect tool. It's only limitation is that the size of the head is difficult to get in close to the butt hole.

I also only shave every 2-3 weeks using a disposible blade razor. No problem with nicks, cuts or painful growbacks and I like the smooth clean feeling.

I would like to shave totally but I'm a regular gym person and the locker room is open. I'd rather not have a lot of guys seeing my bare cock and balls. I did see one guy there a while back tho who was shaved. I do trim though. I love the feeling of a smooth hole but on the few occasions I've done it, the effect last only a few days and then it became itchy. If I could, I'd have the hair around my hole and crack permanently removed. Anyone ever have that done? It might be painful but maybe the Brazilian hot wax treatment would work. I'd definitely do it if it worked and I could find someone to do it for me.

Fillme,

I'm getting great results with this product.

I've had laser and electrolysis done in this area, in fact the whole brazillian area. Love it! Fewer odors and itches. But lots more volume from farts!

I've been shaving in that area for some time now and have always experienced a little itching, its all part of it, to me the benefit is a nice soft smooth feeling back there. I just use ordinary shaving cream and a good razer, last thing I do in the shower. If it gets to prickly just pop a a little piece of toily paper between the cheeks, simple!

Agree with the comments about a maddening itch after a couple of days. If you're going to do it it's a lot easier to do it daily and just get into a routine. Definitely worth it.

I shave my anal region, but much better when someone else takes care of that for me.

I have been shaving around my anus for several years now. I use a soapy shaving brush and a disposable razor. I found that the easiest way is squatting over a large mirror in good light. Afterwards I apply plenty of Nivea post shave balm. As soon as the hairs start to grow again, about a week with me, I shave again. I enjoy the lovely clean feeling being hair free front and back.

After my first anal/perineum shave and enduring the following terrible itchiness, i have started to self wax the area. painful during the hair removal process, but no itchiness afterwards. brilliant! i still shave most other areas down there: shaft, scrotum, thighs because it's quicker, less painful, less messy, and i don't get itchy when the stubble grows back. i remove hair in cycles, letting it grow out when i get lazy. but a smooth bum, cock, and balls feels so nice!

I shaved my ass area once. I was terribly uncomfortable for a couple of weeks. Not fun.

I posted some advice on this in another thread a few months back. I have never felt any irritation following these instructions:

The shaving is so easy I read about how to in a book called Tickle My Tush haha. Well first I switched to using Dr. Bronner's Unscented Castile soap as body wash which prevents irritation. A dermatologist once told me that other body washes with harsh chemicals and fragrances may irritate your skin. In the shower, you want to scrub yourself gently but thoroughly between the cheeks with the Dr. Bronner's Unscented Castile soap, then rinse. Then spread on some hair conditioner or Bikini Zone.

Now for the shaving, take a brand new multi blade disposable razor such as women shave their legs with, and shave horizontally from the crack out to the cheeks. Then shave vertically, first one long stroke all the way downward from the top of the crack to the perineum. Then do the vertical stroke along the crack all the way back up from the perineum to the top of the crack. Repeat the same steps on the other side of the crack. Next, gently lather and rinse once more. You shouldn't repeat any stroke more than two times. Then once you get out of the shower, pat the area dry with a towel and put on a thin coat of talc-free baby powder (i.e. Burt's Bees baby powder) between your cheeks. You may want to repeat the drying and powdering step the next day or two whenever you shower. If you follow these steps, you can easily avoid irritation and get a smooth shave, as long as you have a fine touch with your razor. If you do everything right, there is no discomfort as the hair comes back. Just make sure you don't fall down in the shower trying to stand on one foot!

I would add that the major factors here are using talc-free baby powder after the next few times you take a shower, and having a fine touch with the razor. You want to drag the head of the razor across the skin with the most gentle pressure you can use while still maintaing flush, stable contact between the razor head and the skin. A trick I use, to accomplish this, is I hold the razor like a pencil, at the head, rather than holding it way back on the handle. Think about it- if you hold a pencil up near the eraser, your handwriting will be messy and illegible. So you have to hold it down near the paper. In this case, your skin is the paper and the razor is the pencil.

On the other hand, the reason I do not get irritation could be that I am so thin that my ass cheeks never rub together much when I walk, or press up against each other much when I sit down.

I don't really want to think about this one, let alone try to do it myself.

If I ever need the area shaved as prep for surgery, I'll let the professionals do it where they can see what they are doing. Better yet, give me the anesthesia first.

Quincy, you may change your mind if you take a moment to read the instructions I posted earlier. It is my opinion that no one should have to go around with a tuft of hair between their butt cheeks! Trust me, shaving this area is easy as pie and quite a pleasant procedure if you follow the tips I provided.
