I've usually used an electric trimmer but I think it gives me boils. So by my previous doctor to use a disposable razor. I've never used a disposable razor before. I usually like to shave my entire body (everything below my neck). I googled and youtubed and I'm only getting information about electric trimmers.

That stuff works! I don't have any plans in my lifetime to shave my body hair but had to get rid of my back hair for minor surgery. My wife didn't like being the one to put it on and take it off, but it definitely did the job.

I have had to shave various parts of my body for surgeries, and I just used the same Gillette Foamy shaving cream and the Costco Gillette Sensor 2 Plus Disposable Razors that I use on my face, it works fine.
They are about $40 for 52, and for just my face I get about 5-6 shaves before they need to be replaced.

I'm the same as one of the other posts, I use a facial 5 blade razor and shave cream. I shave everything from the chin down and even the hair on my feet. The 1st thing to do is reduce the length down to stubble much like your facial hair is stubble before you shave that's where a good electric body groomer comes in handy.
Be sure you use a new razor and use only for body grooming. Have a different one you would shave your face with go slow and take your time in shaving, remember, hair grows in different directions so you may need to change the direction of shaving in order to get a close shave. I shave every 24 to 48 hrs depending on the stubble.
If you have any more questions from me send me a PM and get back with you.
