Snip tomorrow. How much do I need to shave prior to the op? I don't want to over do it nor do I want to leave it to a nurse with a rusty bic!
I would go sporting a chinstrap beard
unless you're really hairy don't bother.
slather your meat & two with Immac/Veet
go for the Duncan Goodhew.
[i]unless you're really hairy don't bother. [/i]
depends on the surgeon and you don't want a nurse doing it for you (probably). The letter I got said to have a shave before arrival.
I did take quite a liberal approach to clearing the area and no one pointed or laughed so I guess it was ok.
don't drive there.
I didn't bother.
Prior to the op a bloke that looked a bit like Mr Tumnus came and had a look, then clippered off two areas about the size of a custard cream.
Go for something racy and amusing, give you something to chat to the surgeon about while he has his hands on your nads 🙂

Said in an Alan Bennet tome.
just cut your your nut hair, easy -s'all I did
Use mint and tea tree shaving gel
Don't bother shaving i didn't.Take note of the waiting room banter, it's priceless 😉
I had an op to remove my gall bladder about 6 years ago. When I woke up I discovered that I'd been partly shaved down there plus a patch at the top of one of my legs (which confused me at the time).
The thought of a nurse giving me a 'man shave' while I was asleep was strangely attractive.
Leave it and let your imagination run wild 😀
oh wait.... you're going to be awake while the male nurse sorts you out. Do it yourself!!
I've got an eplilator I could let you borrow. 😈
As i nearly sliced a block in half i got my missus to shave me..how kinky are we then!!
Trim, but I get wheeled in for the op to be met by 4 grinning female nurses, I did ask if they volunteered for this sort of job......
Try to avoid infections after, they sting a little
I had to do some of mine when I had a hernia op as as I was doing one bit I thought I may as well do it all. Anyway, I found a bog standard Mach 3 the best way, beard clippers first to remove most of it then finish with the razor. I did more damage with the guard on clipper than the razor, it's suprisingly easy once you get over the fear of having a blade that close.
Dye your hair green and hang a sign 'Keep off the grass'
A word of advice:
if you're thinking of using electric hair trimmers, be careful your nut sack is pulled tight. If it's not, it can slip into the blades. Sounds obvious but I got distracted and trimmed a bit of skin off my giggleberries once.
Alternatively, man up and use a can of lynx and a lighter.
One last shag for the condemned sperm? 
You’ll be hearing lots of loud “thuds” as all your little fellas come up against a bump stop..
We’ll say a prayer for them.
Job done. Tidy too. Erred on the side of safety and went that bit higher. Itchy as hell now!
Little fellas last requests tonight.
I didn't and didn't have to.
Mmm, that reminds me. Must make a doctors appointment.
I got told not to bother, when was laid out on the table " oh you've not shaved, let me do it"said the old hag. A dry shave with a disposable razor is not to be recommend. Then after I was done I'm sure she doused me bollocks with old spice or brut.
Eeeeeeowwwwwwww!
Shave em all off - then look at how black your sack goes in a few days - it's ace! You have to give samples after the op and the women at the desk wasn't best pleased when I said does it matter if there's saliva in it 
Wouldn't mind letting a nurse shave me......
Sorry wrong forum 😀
Immac +1
now you know what we have to go through LOL

It's not [i]quite[/i] the same. Maybe if you shaved your elbows.
eh? elbows?
don't understand
Mate of mine sliced his sac open trying to trim prior to the snip - gave the nurses in A&E a laugh. Frankly, I'd expect better hand/eye coordination from a BA pilot.....
If you shave really thoroughly it gives the nurses an interesting opening conversational gambit - apparently 😳
My main advice is to ignore all the heroes who rode home from the op on a rigid SS via Glentress, and rest as long as the nurses tell you, then give it a couple more days. If you knock the scar and reopen it, at best it will be uncomfortable and take longer to heal completely.
And you can reopen the scar through any number of activities.....
this thread has thoroughly cheered me up.
eh? elbows?don't understand
Similar skin.
really?
Nice ( and not in a nice way.) LOL
Hey! What're you trying to say about my elbows?
If you want a rusty bic they'll happily supply one, even if you don't they'll oblige anyway.
iMac. The cream, not the desktop.
Don't do what I do an squeeze the open tube down your leg leaving a nice baldy run down your thigh.
Who wants a nurse to shave them? Email in profile 🙂
TJ Depends if you'll polish them to finish off.
Op, don't jump at the burning smell. It's completely normal. 🙂
Growing up, this was my dad's sideline - most people paid cash and it was odd how many needed he missus to bring (drag) them along.
Intensly embarrasing to meet people in the pub as a teenager to be told 'your dad gave my dad the snip'
He once did a neighbour's on the kitchen table...
being shown numerous duplex vas deferens left a bad impression
Oh, yes, I'd forgotten the burning smell......
And just to reassure you, if they haven't used quite enough local anaesthetic before they go in, the surgeon will realise it a nanosecond after you do 😥
Job done. Tidy too. Erred on the side of safety and went that bit higher. Itchy as hell now!
Itchy?? 😆
Wait till it starts growing back in earnest........ 😈
It's a doddle to be fair. I was on the table less than ten minutes.
Just don't post a pic of the results....
Is a boyzilian not normal for every man about town nowadays?
