Hair Removal

Thanks for the response, denuseri.

I'm a guy and responded to a similar thread before, but you don't need to go search it out. I've shaved all pubes almost daily since the early 80's without any problem. It only takes me a few minutes in the shower. I do it in the shower because it is so easy to keep things wet and soaped up without making a mess, plus I'm flexible enough I can maneuver around enough to see if anything was missed so I don't need a mirror. Enough of that.

You'll want to trim all of your pubes as close as possible with a scissors before starting.

1. Obviously you need to get the area warm and wet, so steaming-hot wash clothes will do if not in a shower

2. A lot of folks need some sort of shaving gel or cream, so use it as directed. Me, I use plain old bath soap (Safeguard), but my skin has maybe gotten accustomed to the shaving after doing it for almost 30 years.

3. I always shave WITH the hair growth direction, never against it. If you shave against-the-grain, so to say, you'll end up cutting the hair slightly under the skin, which then causes ingrown hairs that itch and look bad. For me I shave towards the penis and testicles. Picture a circle target and run the razor from the outside edge to the center. This includes from the near the anus. At the junction of the legs to the groin, shave out towards the legs a few inches for a nicer look.

If you are still being adventurous, keep on shaving. In my case when the anus is the center of the target, I shave away from it.

You'll have to practice some to see what works for you.

4. When all done, wash off. Here is an advantage of a shower is that you don't have to use a rough wash cloth like you do out of the shower. PAT dry, don't rub!

5. Use a good body lotion such as Lubriderm when finished. It will keep the area soothed for most of a day. I think Safeguard and Lubriderm should give me royalties!

6. After your groin has become accustomed to the razor, you might look into electric razors specifically designed for this purpose. Seiko S-Yard makes Cleancut, which is a battery operated unit and easy to use and clean. More royalties, please. Seiko also makes a trimmer called Shavy femini. If you follow this route, you'll powder the area with cornstarch baby powder before shaving. When finished go take your shower, then follow-up with Lubriderm.

7. Be careful of hair removal gels and the like. Some are pretty nasty chemicals. In fact, there is notice on some products to NOT use them on the genitals.

8. There is always the laser option, but I haven't won the lottery yet.

Hope this helps some.
