Using cream to get smooth

Return to Discussions

Having shaved for many years, I wanted to get really smooth, but not have to go for a waxing.
Recently I tried Veet for men, intimate areas. the reviews had some guys say great and others rant about burning gonads and never again, so I read carefully and drew conclusions.
Some people are more sensitive than others, some areas on your body are more sensitive than others.
So I did test patches.
Pubic mound.
Leg crease
Penis shaft
Scrotum
Perinium
Anus

I found the sensitivity to the harsh hair desolving chemicals did vary incredibly.
Veet say 4-5 minutes.
I found on myself the following works well for hair removal with NO BURNS.
Pubic mound 5-6 mins
Leg crease 3 mins
Penis shaft 4 -5 mins
Scrotum 4 mins
Perinium 4 mins
Anus 4 mins

From this I found I got good hair removal. I NEVER reapplied till 3 days elapsed to allow my skin to recover.
If you feel a burn, remember that by the time you have washed the cream off and rubbed the area, it WILL be worse, so act quickly. The after cream increases the burn sensation for about 5 mins, then it all calms down. I found my leg creases burn or rash very easily, the good news is the hair there is fine so shorter times is good.
The penis shaft has course hair, you can get dry flaky skin after using the cream, so ensure two days of after cream on that area.

I have now a system, I look at the clock, apply a thick covering to my pubic mound and penis shaft. The anus round and over the perinium.
I rub a covering over my scrotum, then apply cream to the leg creases. This order gives the right time exposure against sensitivity. At the 5 mins point, use the scraper against the hair growth grain on the pubic mound (you can be quite severe) The Penis shaft do not press hard, the skin is delicate. Likewise the leg creases, then the scrotum which I find quite resilient, stretch scrape against the grain. Then quick scrape the perinium. The anus I do not scrape (too tricky to get at).
Dive in shower and loafer pad in a circular motion and give a good scrub to the anus, perinium, scrotum and pubic mound. Soft and gentle in the leg creases. Remember the clock is still running untill you have washed off the relavent areas. Apply the after cream after patting dry. You may get a slight hot sensation in the leg creases and scrotum but it dies down after 5 or so minutes. Wait 3 days and do it again. once you have two weeks done, you will find missed hairs are rare and the finish is ultra smooth. regrowth becomes softer, even silky.
After a month you should have a perfect smooth gentital region. no spikey penis shaft or pubic mound. It should look natural with no rashes, redness or ingrowing hairs.
It is now my preferred method as it is cheap, or as cheap as shaving, but no angry hedgehog between your legs if you are late getting round to the task of dealing with the regrowth. I went ten days, hair regrew but was soft and not at all uncomfortable.
The creams do not smell so bad these days, its not a strong a smell but there is a smell. The after treatment is VERY important, as is being patient, do patch tests to find your sensitivity and in what reas, then time carefully remembering the clock is running until you wash off. Scraping and how rough to scrape/scrub you will learn so start gentle and work your way up. Good results should be seen after a week, really good results after a month.
I have now been doing the cream two and a half months, or ten weeks. My sensitivity has decreased and I find how hard I scrape the cream off with the scraper less an issue, and time a lot more flexible. The end product is a delight, My anus is completely hair free, as are my sack, shaft and mound. The smooth hairlessness lasts three to four days now, the regrowth is soft. My profile pictures show what it can achieve. I hope that helps those thinking of trying the cream method.

Thanks for this! And now I'm asking myself why the heck I never thought of trying your approach before! I've been using different creams for a few years now and often get (occasionally severe) irritation at the leg crease which I've blamed on the creams as being too harsh. But if I wipe the cream off when the crease starts "tingling" the rest is ineffective. Going to try your 'timed' approach,

Make sure you clean off as soon as you feel any burn. I have also found if my leg creases have got hot and sweaty, that it is best to wash, pat dry, use some after cream and then depilate the next day. I hope that helps.
A new discover for me. Get your hands on a all metal desert spoon with a rounded handle. Cheap ones are often like this. I have found it is a better scraper than the one provided as it has no pointed corners. The plastic stcraper corners can graze, especially the scrotum and leg creases. The grazes will become mild burns or bad burns if you leave the cream on too long. The metal spoon long side of the handle is great for the pubic mound. The spoon part for scraping the scotum and leg creases. the handle for the anus does a great job.br]
