Pre-trim your pubic hair. Razors are designed to shave fairly short hair and will quickly clog and become dull if applied to long hair.
To trim it, gently pull the hair up, away from your body and then cut it back with small, sharp scissors, preferably clippers, along with some equipped with safety guards. Alternatively, use an electric scissor-action trimmer without rotating heads. If you are new to pubic shaving, you may want to leave your hair short for a couple of days, as this will allow you to get used to the feeling of being bare down there.
Trimming your hairs with scissors or small clippers is ok to do too, but some people become nervous when having such items near such a tender part of your body. If you aren't comfortable with using any of these, try electric razors. They are specifically designed to shave these kinds of hairs without getting too close to cut your skin. Soften your hair and hair follicles by taking a hot shower or bath.
This will make the coarse pubic hair a lot easier to shave off. It may seem like a non-necessary step, but it'll make the somewhat lengthy process much more manageable. If you don't have time to take a hot shower or bath, simply run a washcloth under warm water and place it on your area and let it sit for about five minutes. Foam up to avoid irritation. Use unscented shaving foam, cream, or gel to lather your pubic hair. It is recommended that you use shaving foam or cream that is designed for shaving pubic hair rather than facial hair.
Always test the shaving cream on another part of your body before you start applying it to your pubic hair, as some people suffer from allergic reactions to certain products. Just because a product is marketed to females doesn't mean it's only usable by those of the fair sex. Shaving cream for women is generally gentler than men's. Moreover, men's shaving cream is often scented, which can lead to irritation and painful stinging. Part 2. Choose your razor. When buying a razor, it doesn't matter which brand or what style it is.
They are all designed to get the job done. Make sure that you pick one that is gentle on your skin so that your area won't react as badly with it as it would with a harsh razor. When buying razors, it is ideal to get ones that are to be specifically used on parts of the body.
For example, if you buy two razors, one could be used for shaving your pubic area and one could be used for shaving your underarms. Make sure that when you use any razor, you dry it. Leaving a razor wet causes the blades to dull, which will make shaving difficult. Stretch your skin tight. If it's loose, you'll end up cutting yourself.
Razors perform best on skin that is somewhat flat and doing so will help remove the hair easier. Make sure that you know what parts you are going to shave. Are you allowed to shave? Is it safe for your skin? Make sure that you are completely sure you want to do this before you begin. Shave slowly and gently. To start off, is a great idea to shave slowly and with the grain.
All this means is that if your hair grows downward, shave downward. This will help prevent irritation. Shaving against the grain is not a good idea when first starting off because doing so causes rashes and itchiness. This way, your skin will get more used to the feel of a razor on your private parts.
Do not over-shave. Shave an area only as much as you need to remove the hair. If you go over it too many times, it will become inflamed.
Skip several days between shaves until your skin grows used to the change. Consider shaving your nether regions. Yes, hair grows on your bum too. You can shave this too, just make sure to be very gentle because it's not too easy to see where you will be shaving. You can always shave over one last time, just make sure not to press down too hard to prevent inflammation. If you are considering removing all of your hair, know that having none can increase your chances of getting and spreading an STD or two namely, HPV and molluscum contagiosum.
Clean up. Always make sure that you clean up your mess. Even if you don't care about all those hairs now, they build up later.
