I don’t know what it’s called in English, but it’s amazing. I shave with this everywhere except downstairs. I need apply NO pressure whatsoever thanks to its own weight and thanks to the sharpness of these Japanese blades. I love it. :3 ⚔️🎌
Edit: you obviously don’t have to present your equipment on your hands like a psychopath. 🤣
You have helped me make up my mind. I am going to try this! 😤 Thanks for all the advice! 😊
Can you update on thuis once you tried? :) This was my only barrier for buying one …tnx!
Hey! I’m so sorry for leaving you hanging… I’ve had a lot to deal with but FINALLY today I tried shaving downstairs with my safety razor. And it went WELL. 😍 Details below:

Just to get it out of the way since it probably does matter: I have a traditional male dick. 😅🤣 Now, let me start by giving you something to laugh at, which is TOTALLY fine, since I laughed too: DO NOT USE MENTHOL SOAP. 🤣🤣🤣 I just used the shaving soap with which I shave my face, not thinking about how CHILLY it would feel down there. 🥶 Now, after foaming up both my PP, balls and the general immediate area, I carefully did a one run with the razor, NOT against the direction of hair growth, and wow. Just WOW. NO second and third runs or scraping or whatever: it worked just as well as on my face. Just one run and it takes it all. Not baby face clean though, but down to less than millimeters. I guess if an absolute clean shave is the goal, one could try doing a second run against the hair growth, but not this day. 😅 I did tighten the distance of the razor head, just in case I wasn’t able to keep my hand steady or the likes. What BAFFLES me, is that I didn’t get a single nick. Not even on my balls. That’s just crazy.
All in all, I’m not even going back to using electric razors other anything else downstairs. Feel free to ask if you have any questions! 😊
I’ve bookmarked the thread and will return to it this weekend or so 😊
In case OP doesn’t get back to you, I’ve never actually seen anyone have issues with it once they actually do it. You see a lot of people refuse to do it, because it’s intimidating, but every person I’ve seen with experience says that it’s fine, if not great.
If you buy one though, I would not recommend going straight for your pubes. You almost certainly will cut yourself a few times before you’re proficient. You have to learn the technique first. Once you do though it’s far easier, better, cheaper, and I’d say safer than other razors.
Welk OK, then I guess I’ll just ho for it! Any advice on blade types, since there’s a lot if choices there…
Honestly, that’s very personal. There’s no good rule on what’s best. The best option is to get a blade sampler and find out what works for you. Someone’s favorite might work horribly for someone else. I think my favorite has been Gillette Silver Blue, but they were made in Russia and I think they aren’t available anymore, so I’m eventually going to have to go with something else.
That is the only place I use my safety razor, it is amazing
