Removing Pubic Hair and Shaving Tips
The first bit of advice you need when it comes to shaving pubic hair is to be careful of the device you choose to do the job. You do not want to use a dull razor or one of the old-fashioned switchblade razors. This is a sensitive area and you will want to use one of the most comfort-oriented razors on the market if you know what that may be.
Razors designed for women are often the best to choose as they are designed to move over curves more so than most men’s razors. They also often have aloe strips or other comfort and protective measures in place to protect your skin from nicks and cuts. You should also choose a razor that is good quality rather than the el cheapo disposable variety.
If the hair in this area is thick and long you should first cut with scissors then move on to shaving. You’ll want to cut as closely as possible in order to avoiding clogging the razor as often. You should allow a warm wet washcloth to set on the area for several minutes in order to soften the hair in the area, which is more coarse than the hair on your head. You can also choose to have a nice long soak in a tub or nice steamy shower in order to accomplish the same task.
You will definitely want to use shaving cream or gel in this sensitive area in order to make the process less painful. I recommend using those with extra moisturizers as well. You may find that some brands cause minor irritation and want to experiment with different brands over time in order to find the one that works best for you.
You should use your free hand in order to pull the skin straight and shave with minimal pressure. You should make sure that every stroke with the razor is upwards and against the growth of hair while using plenty of shaving cream. Shaving bare skin will lead to razor burn, which is rather uncomfortable to contend with in this sensitive area. You will also need to clean your razor often, as it will clog rather easily in this process.
After shaving, apply vitamin E gel or baby oil to the area in order to reduce itching. You should also keep the area well moisturized with baby lotion or other moisturizers.
