I’m a hairdresser, so I have some experience when it comes to hair removal. I recommend starting out with a WAHL (Designer Clipper) can be corded or cordless. It comes with guards and an adjustable blade and will last you forever, also good for facial hair and hair cutting. They are well made and worth the price which actually isn’t that bad. I go guardless and adjust the blade to my liking on the lower abdomen and upper leg area. I shave the balls and around the shaft in the shower. Preparing the skin with hot water first is very important for a smooth shave. I then use a Gillette 5 blade Venus razor. It’s sold for woman but a blade is a blade guys. Just use a moisturizing soap and you’re good to go. If you need hair tips, I’m a VERY experienced stylist. Look your best when mongering, it makes all the difference!
