Intimate care is the be-all and end-all

When it comes to intimate care, the general rule is: less is more. But why is that so? Too much hygiene with many different products, such as shower gels, can wash away the skin's natural protection and fungal infections can occur more easily. Therefore, it is best for men to wash their intimate area thoroughly every day with lukewarm water.

For many men, intimate shaving has now become routine. Shaving alone does not make men more “clean,” but a shaved intimate area is often more hygienic and reduces odor.

Ingrown hairs, redness, small cuts and shaving burns? Unfortunately, all of this happens to many men quite quickly and is extremely annoying.

Because when it comes to the man's best piece and his twins, you don't want to do things by halves. That's why we've collected a few tips for you that will make intimate shaving a gentle experience for every man.

This is how to do it right:

What you before you should pay attention to when shaving

Take enough time for your intimate shave, your skin will thank you.

It is best to take a warm shower or a warm bath before shaving your intimate parts. Warm water has three advantages: your skin is cleansed, dirt and talc disappear, your pores open and the skin on your testicles loosens. This softens your hair, making it much easier and easier to cut.

If necessary, trim your hair beforehand if your hair is a little longer. This makes shaving easier and the razor can cut the hair better and more thoroughly. Whether you use a trimmer or scissors is of course up to you.

What you while you should pay attention to when shaving

Always use fresh and sharp blades. These are extremely important for a gentle shave without skin irritation. This way, the razor doesn't "pull" at your hair (and we probably don't need to tell you that this is very unpleasant in the intimate area), but rather cuts it off very gently. If you want to find out more about this: we have summarized all the important information on the topic of "sharp blades" in a blog post .

Cover your damp skin with enough shaving product so that the razor can glide smoothly over your skin. A pH-neutral, natural product is best because it does not irritate your skin. If you want, you can also apply a pre-shave oil in advance. Be sure to give your shaving care a little time to work before you get to work.

If you are still looking for suitable shaving products, the SHAVE & SHOWER products from SHAVENT are definitely something for you. With our shaving gel and shaving soap without soap, we have paid attention to everything that is good for your skin and makes every shave a gentle experience.

Gently stretch your skin with your second hand to give your razor a smooth surface and allow for the best "glide". This means the blades have a smooth surface and can gently remove hair. It's better to shave in the direction of hair growth, as this irritates the skin the least.

Start slowly and it's better to go about it carefully and shave with little pressure, as these areas are very sensitive. Also, do not use hot water or cold water, as water that is too hot can burn your skin and water that is too cold can cause your scrotum to contract. Warm water is therefore best suited for intimate shaving.

If you already have a plastic-free razor, such as the SHAVENT , simply use the weight of your razor and apply very little pressure. This way you won't cut yourself and your skin won't be irritated.

What you after you should pay attention to when shaving

After shaving, rinse your intimate area with cold, clean water to soothe your skin. This also causes the blood vessels to contract again and there is less redness and less itching.
Dry or pat your intimate area carefully with a towel and avoid rubbing too hard. Always change your hand or bath towels at regular intervals so that bacteria cannot multiply there.
Always put on fresh underwear after showering and shaving.
Care for your skin in the intimate area. A moisturizing treatment or a mild after-shave product is recommended after shaving as it helps your skin to regenerate and prevents razor bumps or the like. A neutral cream without alcohol or perfume is recommended for the intimate area.

If you follow these tips, nothing should stand in the way of a gentle intimate shave and you will see that with a little practice you will become a master at intimate shaving.
