I am an OPTION #1 man.

I shave the shaft and the boys with a double-bladed disposable razor. For shaving cream I use soap. NOTHING TO IT. For me (I don't know if it's so for everyone) the closest shave I get is shaving down the shaft and continuing down the boys toward the "taint". If I shave from "taint" towards the front, it works, but doesn't get quite as close a shave.

I have nicked the boys before. NO BIGGIE. Tell your man not to be afraid. If he uses due caution and is careful, he'll never nick them. I also trim the top close. For this, I use hair grooming trimmers and I use a "comb" on the end that makes it the height I want and just go for it.

There is nothing to a guy keeping himself trimmed/shaved down there. Tell the guys not to be wusses and just to do it. YOU do...

Any questions, don't be afraid to ask.

Cheers.
