Skip the Bare Balm.
The product does no better than shaving and caused some spotty irritation in areas. (Used as directed 10 min.  I would not leave longer or there might be even more irritated areas.)  Calm Balm helped soothe the irritation, and works well.  I may use it after shaving.  However, since the Bare Balm didn’t get any closer than shaving would AND caused more irritation than shaving my scrotum, I do not recommend it.
