Does homelander use his laser eyes to do it, like how superman shaves his beard?

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He plucks the white ones and puts in a jar.

[–] Axxys@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

For those who don't watch the show... This is actually what he does.

I don't want to do product placement, but for people that do wish to shave their balls the OneBlade is really good and I only nicked the sack like 5% of the time as I get over confident.

as a girl who has to shave her balls all the time, i too recommend the oneblade

I'm pretty sure this isn't product placement

I was going to say, I feel confident using my safety razor for that. I prefer a duller “training wheels” brand of blades that takes multiple passes for a close shave, but I’ve never nicked myself with them.

Never heard of OneBlade, but from their site it seems to have all of the advantages of a safety razor, except for the lack of blade brand variety. It’s funny that they found a way to make proprietary blades that are 2-4 times as expensive as the normal razor blades I’ve seen, but even then they are still 100x cheaper than cartridge heads.

Duller blades are way more unsafe. Having a very sharp blade is much safer. Just hold your scrote taught with one hand and run the blade lightly across the hairs but not the skin on your first go to shorten the hairs and rinse the blade then go across the skin lightly.

Dull blades lead to applying more pressure to make the same cut as a sharp blade. More pressure means more chance of a deeper cut if you slip.

Agreed, such a nice and soft shave

First time I decided to tackle the bush I used hair clippers with no guard. Bad idea. Sliced a chunk of skin of my scrote. It was quite deep and instant panic. It was hanging there with two hair follicles on the dangly bit. Not as much blood as I expected. Glued it back on. Healed up fine after.

Explain? Too much burning?

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Do you really need it explained, though? Like if you hear, "hey don't tell people to steal king Morpheus' key to the nightmare realm!" are you like "Whoa there, a little context?"

[–] Poppa_Mo@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yes. I've heard both sides of the fence. Had friends that swore by it.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I've known 2 dudes that used it. One guy said it was great, the other guy said it was really really not great.

[–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

It's really bad if you leave it on too long or don't wash it off properly

[–] yakko@feddit.uk -3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're right, let's never talk about things, let's just constantly reestablish context until the day we die

[–] Poppa_Mo@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I was attempting to talk about things.

You are WAY too worked up about ballhair removal techniques.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 days ago

No, but for real

I’d say use tiny scissors but I accidentally clipped myself open doing that once

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Like homelander, I passed them too. Aside from ichy balls and pegs for a few days, zero regrets

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Don’t. Leave them gnarled with fuzz and shave all else.

[–] mbp@slrpnk.net 4 points 6 days ago

Ah, the crotch gotee.

Couldn't you just not do that? It's not like it sounds easy to do.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 6 days ago

If I'm going to be asking someone to put their face down there the least I can do is keep things tidy.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Yeah but she doesn’t like the feeling of hair on her tongue.
