If you have a electric or rechargable trimmer for like goatee, beard, clean it up and put a guard on it and go slowly. Don't be in a rush your first time, or you will have unpleasant results usually. Tip is the have the skin taunt. For balls squeeze them and glide the trimmer over them. the Next day I recommend a shave cream/razor treatment after a shower. Very carefully glide it over. If you have to sit down on like edge of bathtub, rinse out the razor often, do not go over a second time, or you have a good chance of a rash like. WHen all done get like a lotion and massage into your scrotum. Things with aloe, mineral oil is cheap, oatmeal based daily moisturizng lotion (Aveeno) recommend it is fragrance free and no to little acholol(it can create a slight burnning sensation). YOu could use a product called Udder Cream. They all will help eliminate the itching/plus soften your skin in those areas. Use that several times a day. After the first few times of shaving, the itchy feeling just goes away. IF you have someone you really trust, see if they can help you with the trimming/scaping/shaving. You might be surprised, the great suggestions they give you. YOu know they are seeing you from a completely different angle/point of view. I explained it to my son and a nephew when they were in the area of 17. There are so many cool products and equipment out there today for doing this. Also told them to take every opportunity to help the ladies out too. For the Shaft it is similar make sure the skin is taunt(either pull it taunt or erection with a little pull) and it is another take it slow you don't want any nicks. YOu will get the hang of it quickly. You will never know if you like the look until you try it. Guess what if you don't like it; it grows back.
