writes:Hey.I've been shaving my pubic hair for a while now, but I always get red and itchy parts when I do. Also I can never seem to completely shave off all the hair, there is always little stubs still visable. I was wondering how to solve this problem without having to spend loads of money, or any money at all if possible.Thanks,xx

 There is one cardnal rule..NEVER us a Razor Blade!!!! This will cut the hair at an angle and the sharp edge can and will irritate the skin as it pokes through the surface causing a rash.

I've found thath this helps my razor burn heal fastest. Second when you do shave again you want to get disposable razors for sensitive skin, I like Venus personally, also get a shave gel for sensitive skin. This will help protect you from irration during shaving. Always start with a fresh razor, if you're just starting to shave you might need more than one. It's important to always use a new razor because a dull one will nick and pull the hairs out and could cause you to bleed. Then it's up to you to know how your hair grows. First shave with the hair, one stroke per section. Then go back and shave against the hair (Be sure to apply more shaving cream before you shave a second time). Then rise off and check for places you've missed. Apply more gel and do the touch ups. Never press down on your razor, just glide it over the skin, the razor if sharp will cut just as well. If you find you have to push for it to cut you need a new razor. Pat dry and your done.

I have sensitive skin and I always get razor burn really bad if I shave. I shaved at first and only really fooled around in the dark, but we have been together for two years and I finally told him that I can't do that because it hurts and it is really uncomfortable, and he is understanding about it. If you let it grow in make sure to trim it so that he can still do oral, but let him know that it is uncomfortable for you. If he's a good guy he'll understand.

 Yap,I 4got-you should do this:the left and right side you start from ends to the middle (horizontal moves of the blade,left to the right for the left side and reversed) and the middle from down to up (vertical)...if I expressed it the right way lol.And that phrase I couldn't remember was ingrown hairs-that's what cosmetics told me can happen if you shave and your hairs are firm.
