Title: There is no glamourous way to ask this.
Post by: eskay on May 26, 2011, 12:00:43 PM
Okay, there is no even remotely respectable way to ask this question, yet it needs to be asked.

How the hell do you shave your ass?

I've only recently started making forays into taking care of my body hair, and I'm a bit flummoxed as to how to deal with my somewhat unsightly posterior. The legs, body, arms, everything else has been a breeze. Is there just some secret technique I am not aware of?

I offer my apologies for my crudeness, but it was unavoidable.

hmm I'm thinking the best position would be with your legs wide apart and your bum kinda angled a little bit, and spread your cheeks

good luck

did you mean it like that?

Elijah you kidding hey?! (I hope honey)
In any case it'd be itchy as hell in no time.

Self have full "Brazilian" since 1 year. First laser 3 - 4 sessions. Being on HRT helps, also SPIRO (A-blocker) and Finasteride (DHT-blocker).

In any case like Muslim woman I have waxing every ~40 days, that takes care of bum and "front-bum" (soon to come).

Meanwhile had to come-out to friendly beautician and have no issue. She always says: And now lift the BAD (penis), heehee.
Lots of laughs between screaming just like GG :-) also.

Only have "bum-fluff" (velum-hair) left but still can be painful. "Beauty suffers" honey!

But shaving with razor?! OMG! I even tried epilator... too dangerous and when grabbing skin!!!! Oh no!
If laser too costly just go waxing like any GG that wants "Full Bikini" i.e. Brazilian
Enjoy experience, got to get tough down there being girly, hey :-)

Well you're going to find this a little hard to believe but I just lather up in the shower and shave.  I don't try looking I just go by feel.  I guess I use the force.  I don't think I've ever nicked my self.  I do it fairly often...not as often as my legs...maybe once every 10 days.  So if I miss a spot I get it next time around.  I suppose waxing would be ideal but I don't think I could afford it. It will be interesting to read other techniques.

I start with an electric trimmer then a razor. I need to make careful sure to go in the direction of the growth or I get lots of ingrown hairs.
