Just my 2 cents, based on my short experience. Shaving's main problem is that your hairs get stronger with time, and you end up needing it done almost everyday, to get a satisfactory smoothness, like with your beard. My second half, is aesthetician, and we moved to waxing. I strongly discourage of doing the ballsack with wax. Plain and simple. And this is also true for the skin around the shaft. Use if for any other areas around but not those. Also, we use some specific gentle wax (called "pellicule wax"?? -not sure of the translation), work in small spots. For the result, however, you shouldn't expect straightforward, fully satisfying results lasting long. While waxing has the advantage of getting the hair thinner and easier with repetitions, you'll still face issues: - risk of incarnated hair, more frequent the first times, and also more frequent -IMHO- where skin is more stressed by clothes (like the trouser's belt, ...) - many hair will break, (also more frequently the first times)rather than being removed completely, resulting in non-homogenous regrowth. - you still need to do it for the ballsack, and shaft. I do it with a tweezer for those. And while it may be personal, I find it less painfull than other areas. For technique, well, she's the pratician, but I would say that one good thing is to cut hair a bit, if they are long (leave around 6 or 7 mm max), otherwise hair gets mixed, and you're risking more breakage. Not too short, otherwise the wax has no grip on the hair. Prepare skin with a specialized product that must be applied beforehand. Again, don't expect immediate results! Specifically, if you shaved a lot, like I did, it will take more waxing, to get a result that is satisfactory. And I also strongly think that laser is by far best if you want long-term results. Yet to be experienced by myself though.
