Hey Agony Aunts.

I have a question about shaving. I shave my legs of course, and under my arms, but I also shave most of my pubic hair off. With my underarm and pubic hair, I can never seem to get the "shadow" of the hair to go away. It always looks like I haven't shaved under my arms, even if I have, and my pubic hair is still stubbly and there are gross bumps there. It also grows back very fast. My parents don't know that I shave my pubic hair, and if I told them they might assume that it's because I'm 'sexually active', but really I just hate the way it looks and feels. Anyway, what I'm asking is how can I make that 'shadow' go away, and stay away? I tried leaving shaving cream on for a few minutes before shaving, and it helped a bit, but not completely. Is there anything else I can do? I have a reasonable amount of underarm and pubic hair, so plucking takes a lot of time and it leaves sores. What else can I do?

Thanks.

Hi Hun

OOOOOOOH! Dont pluck OUCH! Use a very gentle exfoliating scrub or glove with a mild soap if its the glove, Gently do this to lift the hair from under the skin as hair can stay under preventing it from being shaved, Use a very sensitive shaving cream one for women hun, And a good razor mac 3 or turbo they are the best if ya het them there, if not use the best you can get. Always use a fresh razor and your hair down south, the undercarriage grows in all different directions so go in all dif directions with the razor BUT BE CAREFULL!!!!!!! Same as the underarm take the razor up then down it gets better results. Always use a morturising cream after on ya legs and top of your pubic area (just the top!!!!! no going further down or you'll no about it and same with the shaving cream not to much round the oojie whatsit!OUCH AGAIN!!!!This should help love TAKE CARE LOVE N HUGS MANDY XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
