#2: Use a New Blade

Don’t take an old razor blade anywhere near your intergluteal cleft. Even under all the hair, it’s a sensitive, vulnerable area. You have to be extra careful not to cut yourself, but that’s better than using a potentially dull razor or dealing with cross-contamination.

#3: Mirror, Mirror on the Floor

A mirror is a must-have anytime you shave something you can’t see. When shaving your crack, it’s best to squat over a mirror to get a clear view. A small round vanity mirror is a perfect size.

#4: Exfoliate Beforehand

To shave buttcrack hair, you have to prepare it. Take a shower and clean your crack. Exfoliate it with a gentle sponge. Use warm water. Between that and the exfoliation, your hair follicles are wide open and primed for removal.

#5: Don’t Skip the Shaving Cream

Shaving cream, shave gel, soap—the choices are varied. The point is that you need to use something to help your razor glide across your skin. Just don’t be overzealous and slather your butt with cream or soap. You need to be able to grip a cheek and hold it open for convenience.

So, that’s that—everything you need to know about shaving buttcrack hair. How do you get rid of yours?
