I use a normal hair clipper to trim it. It’s the only way really.
Laser will have you looking like a baby. Shaving will make you itchy

Not a man but laser will totally remove the hair as opposed to just reducing it. You could use it along the “bikini line” (what ladies call it) if that’s the look you’re going for, or fully remove the hair, but otherwise I would use a battery powered trimmer tool from Gillette or similar. Most let you control the length of the hair. If you are interested in laser, the best candidates have pale skin and dark/thick hair (it doesn’t work equally well on everyone). Shaving totally sucks IMO, itches and leaves you looking like a plucked chicken. Waxing isn’t as bad as you’d guess if you want a more bare look or want to go between the cheeks.

@FA1, I think more than the amount of hair is keeping everything clean! I’ve never been with a guy and thought to myself “ew” or similar based on the amount hair he did or didn’t have. I know some people (men and women) have strong preferences for their partner, but I would say the golden rule applies here...you’d likely want a lady to be relatively neat and clean, and we hope for the same. Make sure you follow the same standard you expect of others.
I keep it full and bushy.
I use a dull butter knife
I wax my shaft and balls and butt, it’s great
I haven’t done this but couldn’t imagine waxing my balls. How bad is it?
Phillips has a waterproof wireless total body trimmer with a bunch of different settings an functions which I use for everything below the neck. I also just barely trim the length of my armpit hair, some unruly leg/arm hair and weird toe hairs and stuff and it’s great because you can set it to take off just a little bit of length so it’s not noticeable.
No, I think A1 is asking for you to model for us. Post some pics! 😂 #FishbowlAfterDark
Laser in that area takes a lot of sessions to completely remove the hair. Most places sell 6 session packages and even that isn’t enough to be baby smooth, but it does thin the hair out end makes it grow in softer. It’s probably worthwhile to get 3-6 sessions if you’re a good candidate for laser

Hair trimmer is the only way. Just try to matain.

I’m a female and doing laser down there: I’ve been through 7 sessions now and still have some growing, though I am not that hairy to begin with but I’m pale and blonde and not all of my hair is black down there
So if you want to reduce your hairiness a bit I would suggest 1-2 laser sessions and then you can get a trimmer and keep it nice, or if you never want to bother again — 10 sessions
I use a 3 blade schick and it’s really not as risky as it sounds tbh
Friends swear by nair

I’m super allergic to it and I know others who are so do a patch test first! It’s a depilatory cream that you apply to the skin and wash off after 3-7 minutes (depends on the brand) and your hair wipes off as well
I just use a scissors and give it a trim from time to time. No need to get fancy.

The hair is there for a reason

I see ads for Manscaped all the time
I only trim my armpit hair to reduce BO. I don't trim my butt or ball hair since my wife prefers it au natural 🤷🏻♂️
Guys ball hair retains sweat/odor as well lol
My boyfriend hates shaving so he uses Veet. It is a lifesaver.
Pluck it all!
There’s some electric green Norelco razer I use you can buy from Walgreens or CVS. It’s intended for the face but it’s the first razor or clipper that I’ve had that doesn’t nick the jewels.
Use a regular buzzer to clean up and shave around the specific areas with a Gillette razor. Pretty simple
