 I agree with all that is said below, disposable razors and gel instead of foam = great.
When you are shaving your bikini line always start by shaving with the grain (in the direction that you hair naturally grows).... when you have shaved the desired area that you wanted to then you can use the razor to do one or two swift shaves against the grain, the hair should already be short enough not to cause any problems with this, and you would've removed any problem layors of skin already..
Remember that it's in the technique as well, you have to get it right to avoid irritation.. don't shave your bikini line everyday as this will be too much, and when you are shaving try and avoid going over the same area lots of times because this will indefinatly cause irritaion... the trick is to be swift and smooth with you shaving so that you get all the desired hair in the first stroke or two and don't have to carry on running the razor over the same area.
You should also make sure the area you want to shave is well soaked before trying to shave it, the hair folicles need to be soft, if you can't soften up the area, leave the shaving until you can.. and if it feels like it may cause an irritaion when you are shaving then stop and carry on another time.
Good luck hun. Sexybum xx

Try shaving while having a hot bath. Also try not to repeatedly go over the same area as this will cause irritation. And once you've finshed try using a moisturiser to help cool the area. Hope this helps.

 other than suggesting waxing (painful i know!), or veet bikini kit (which i think is brilliant!) just use disposable razors and im sure you can get some moisturising cream to help soothe after shaving.

I use that new silk and shave from johnsons for my legs.But i would personally reccomend a hair removal cream, as waxing would hurt to much lol. Also the hair is much softer after useing a hair removal cream, when you shave it is horribly and prickly. And i find shaving irritates such sensitive areas.

 yes,like dvi said,use a desposable razor for down there, also when you have finished try washing and drying through. try using an antiseptic cream,which will prevent you from getting spots and will keep you from feeling sore.

 LIke DV1 says change the razors regularly, and use a gel instead of a foam.
I also recommend after you have shaved down there, or anywhere for that matter use a nivea for women fresh cooling balm, which is menthol and vitimin enriched. This will leave you feeling smooth and cool.
Good luck x

 You can't use the same razor over and over again. You need to change razors. I recommend disposables for down below. I also recommend a gel as opposed to foam gel, because it makes for a smoother, more comfortable shave, minus the razor burn.
