You need to look local. Check local co-ops. They understand more community mindset and you might be able to meet people there.

Without knowing specific details I can't make specific answers, but there are websites that try to organize local events. Not political, but you can use that as a jumping off point since everything is political even if people don't want to admit it. Eventbrite.com has some local events get together for different areas. Usually anyone volunteering at local 'clean the bay' events would have better guidance.
My point is go do those things and ask people there. Community and organizing is how we will get through this. It's tough and I'm just trying to talk to people that I know that are struggling and help them anyway I can.
My personal method is to do it in the shower with soap and water. I tend to spread some of the skin out in order to get the sides smoother. Basically around the balls first. You can hold them slightly away or to the side while you take care of the part you are focusing on. I do the taint as well.
For the centerish part of the ball, I normally hold it around the base and that smoothes out the skin on the balls. Then I carefully shave my balls. You can move the flattened skin around the ball inn order to make sure you got everything.
I would say if you start getting ingrown hairs, you might want to just keep it short instead of shaving, but that's your choice.
