How to Shave Your Butt the Right Way?

Believe it or not, shaving can be quite a painstaking task. Particularly at times when you want to shave your butt. Nature placed hairs on our bums so that living in the jungles could be a bit more comfortable in earlier ages. A lot of time has passed since then and we no longer live amidst the jungles.

Naturally, we don’t need the butt hair which nature left us. It is time to shave it off. In this article, I am gonna tell you how to shave your butt and not get cut while doing so. You’ll have to do your preparations and carry out the process step-by-step. I’ll be explaining the steps. I’ll recommend few tools of the trade that you’ll be needing for the job.

Let us get right into it then!

Get the Tools Right Before You Go on to Shaving Your Ass

Getting the right tools for the job is crucial. Listen, you are shaving your bum and there is hardly any room for mistakes. Just make sure you have the following products at your disposal. I’ll go ahead and list the reasons I want them for.

• You’ll need a safety razor, to begin with. The safety razors have guards in place. These things protect you from nicks, cuts, and irritations. They also minimize the possibility of razor burns.
• Next, comes the shaving gel. Well, it is obvious how helpful this thing is. A shaving gel takes away discomfort from the equation. The formula smooths your butt hair to a point where you can cut them easily.
• A shaving mirror is an absolute must for you! Be sure to get a small-sized one. This way, you can hold it in your hand and then find a unique angle to hold it. This angle will provide you visibility that you need to shave off hair from a “Hard to Reach” area.
• The next thing you need is an antiseptic for the job. Shaving your bum can get tricky when you get to your anus. One mistake and you’ll end up cutting yourselves. That is why people need to keep a bottle of antiseptic nearby just to avoid infections from these cuts and bruises as a last resort.
• Next, you need a baby powder. It is optional though. But this powder thing helps you in smoothing the surface so that razor moves just that bit easier on the surface.
• Another optional product is a hair trimmer. Now, this is a thing that I advise for people who have long hairs on their bum. Shaving these hairs will be a lot easier if you if you trim the hair first into a shorter size. Or, just select a body groomer (hint: the one I recommended on my list) to get the best in shaving and trimming both.

Enough beating around the bush then. Let’s get into the business end of this article. I know, I hinted at different products till now. But it is time to get specific. So, here are the particular accessories that I recommend you gather up before you even dwell on how to shave your butt.

That concludes my list of products needed for ass shaving. But gathering up products doesn’t answer “How to Shave your Ass?” It is how you use those products. Let me break the procedure down in easy to follow steps below.

How to Shave Your Butt? – The Process

• Ideally, you’d want to stay away from razor burns and any irritation while shaving your ass. These burns hurt like hell. You need to use a well-rounded razor (hint: on my list of products needed for the job). Just run cold water over it to get it ready.
• Posture is necessary when you are doing the shaving. Face your bum towards the mirror before you start to shave. It will eliminate any strains on your part.
• I’d advise you to shave with the grain. But if you want a close shave, you will have to go against it. Beware, shaving against the grain can cause skin irritation. It is a “No-No” if you have a sensitive skin.
• Next up, you need to use the razor while holding it lightly over your bum. This won’t cause cuts or burns if you are careful. For close shaves, you need to rinse the shaver again and again. Be sure to run cold water over the razor to remove hair.

If you people are using the body groomer I recommended you, be extra careful and remove all the excess here before you run it for shaving again. This will deliver you the best results.

• When it comes down to the butt cheeks, be extremely cautious. Bring the razor or body groomer down slowly on them and in between the cheeks. Shaving your “Anus” gets especially tricky since you have visibility issues.

I’d advise you to use a hand mirror to find the angle you are comfortable with. And, this angle will allow you to see where you are moving the razor or body groomer. Viewing angles are different for different people.

• Done with butt shaving? Rinse off any leftover gel material that is there. This is where the body wash comes into play. Use cold water and then a body wash to clean yourselves.
• The final step is wiping your bum with a clean towel. Be sure to apply some antiseptics for any accidental cuts or burns.

Avoid These Mistakes while Shaving Your Ass just to be On the Safe Side

We are talking about shaving one of the most “Hard to Reach” areas of our body. We need to stay safe while doing it. These tips below can save you from any hazards that might come your way.

• Get a good razor or a trimmer for yourselves. Good shaving equipment gets the job done with minimum risk. You should be able to shave off the hair at one go. I’d hate it if I have to pull my razor up and down to clean hair off from a tough spot. Such repeated movements can easily cause nicks and cuts.
• Make sure to apply the gel, body powder, and take all the necessary precautions during the job as well as antiseptic treatment afterwards.
• Hey, go slow. Your bum is a sensitive area of your body as I am repeatedly telling you. Relax and move the shaver slowly. Take care of the contours. Clean the hair you have in the cracks. Otherwise, you might find bits of hair left in places. Now, that we don’t want, do we?

Final Words of Mine

I believe I simplified the concept of buttock hair shaving. Now, I don’t think you’ll fret or shiver as you know how to shave your butt and remain safe while doing it.

Many would prefer not to do with an electric shaver but hey, everything boils down to how you handle the shaver. If you are comfortable with it, you can use it no matter how big the shaver is.

As far as “Itchiness after shaving” is concerned, use the baby powder I recommended and you’ll be fine. Every product on my list today is special. I’ve used them for years before recommending to you guys. If you have something better in mind, do further your research based on the guidelines I offered and you’ll be fine.
