What are your tips for shaving your body (everything below the neck)?
Looks like there's a whole series on this from Gillette - start here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TiJNewpCnY

I think the best thing to do is get a GOOD razor...perhaps that Bic one might do, but I like the New Gillete Fusion Gamer, and Edge gel.
The best advice is to do it like a man. Don't use a disposable single blade razor.....and just slather the shaving cream on in the shower and do it....don't go slow...just shave like you mean it.
I shave everything from mid-thighs up. When it comes to shaving your balls.....just grab them...stretch them out straight and shave...don't think about it or you'll hesitate and cut yourself.

If you get razor burn at first, just deal with it.. It'll suck for a week or two but it goes away after a while. It helps to use a cooling lotion as well, it'll open the pores and help prevent ingrown hairs. Do NOT use Vick's VapoRub. I thought it would be nice and cool, but it felt like my balls got frostbite and it wouldn't wash off.
First, i agree with Michael. don't do it.
If you have to remove hair, be a man and get it waxed.
I'm all for Carefully trimming though. Phillips makes a really nice body grooming kit. If you are hairy and are going to shave, I recommend that one (get the second model up. runs like 40-50 bucks at Target)to get the hairs fairly short before shaving.
It's rechargeable and can be used in the shower. Although, it doesn't work well to trim in the shower if you aren't shaving it all off. You want the hairs standing up tall if you are just trimming. The idea is to make it look like you didn't do anything at all....which is why I say Not to shave.
I mean this in all seriousness... Use a woman's razor... My wife uses Bic Soleil and she gave me one out of the pack... its awesome on everything below the next
