Shaving Pussy / Pubic Hair or Vagina
Ok, first things first. Ladies if you have never been shaved before you are in for a real treat. I love having someone else shave my pussy for me. I find the shave itself very erotic and I really love the end result.
If the hair on your pussy is really thick and long, then the best place to start is with the scissors or an electric beard trimmer. Take off as much of the hair as you can. This will make for a much easier job when it's time to apply the razor to that pussy.
There are a couple of different approaches you can use at this point. One of the easiest things to do is to have a shower prior to your shave as this will soften up the pubic hairs and make them much easier to shave off. If a shower isn't convenient then I would recommend that you get a nice thick washcloth and wet it with water as hot as you can and apply it to the pussy for a few moments. This gives you an incredible feeling ladies as the heat from the cloth seeps into your skin.
I forgot to mention that it's going to be easiest if you lay down on the bed or the floor so that you and your partner are comfortable. Lay back and relax, spreading your legs as far apart as you can to give your partner the best access.
Ok, back to the good stuff. Once the pussy has been moistened with the washcloth, you are ready to apply shaving cream. Please read the labels when choosing a shaving cream or gel. If you have sensitive skin pick a shaving cream or gel that is made for sensitive skin. You do not want to end up having a reaction to the shaving cream/gel. It won't be a lot of fun.
Now guys, you can apply the shaving cream, making sure that you rub it over the whole area that you wish to shave. You can have a lot of fun with this and tease her a little bit too. Just be careful about putting the shaving cream on the inside of the inner lips of the pussy. I've found that it tends to sting a little.
Please, please, please, use a new razor blade for this little performance. It is probably a good idea if you are doing this for the very first time to have a couple of extra blades available in case you need them. There's nothing worse than trying to shave a pussy with a dull razor blade. Guys, it's the same as when you try to shave your face after your woman has used the same razor on her legs! Not fun at all.
Let the shaving begin! Ladies - you need to relax and lay as still as you possibly can while your partner shaves you. We wouldn't want any sudden movements that could result in accidental nicks. Guys - you can shave a pussy very much in the same manner that you shave your face. Pick a spot to start and then move the razor over the pussy in long even strokes. It's a good idea to have a cup of water handy to rinse the razor off with after each stroke.
Once you have shaved the worst of the pubic hair off, you're going to have to be extra careful and get those hard to shave places like the bikini line, the bottom part of her pussy, and sometimes just inside the outer lips. This will be dependent on how your partners pussy is shaped. Keep in mind that every woman is going to be a bit different.
Once you have completed the shaving, take a warm cloth and rinse the whole area off. This will allow you to see any areas that might have been missed, or spots that aren't totally smooth. You can touch up these areas at this point.
Ladies - you will likely want to wash the area at least once a day with soap and water to reduce sweat and oil buildup. There will quite likely be a few hives on the shaved area, especially if this is the first time you've shaved there. These will disappear over the next few days. As your body adjusts to regular shaving they will become less and less.
After the shaving is done, massaging in some good quality moisturizing cream really helps to prevent those hives I mentioned above. It makes the skin smooth and soft, like it was meant to be... and a daily application will also help to keep the skin smooth and soft, making the next shave that much easier. It's not much fun when you have hives as it's quite likely with the next shave that there will be a few minor nicks because of them. (thanks to Tom for the above info)
Initially I would recommend that you shave the pussy every three to four days so that there isn't a lot of hair growth. It will get to a certain length and it will start to itch, I use that as my indicator that it's time for another shave. If your skin isn't adapting well to the shaving consider shaving it less frequently.
I love having my pussy shaved by my partner. I find it highly erotic while the shaving is in progress. I also love the feel of having a bare pussy. I was really bad after I had it shaved the first time, it was really hard to keep my fingers off of it. I found myself rubbing my fingers over the shaved area through my clothing, almost absently. I also found that when it came to lovemaking a shaved pussy is a real plus. It increases the sensation during intercourse because you can feel your partners skin against yours. I don't ever want to let my pussy become overgrown with hair again.
Bonus Tip - How to Shave Cock
Okay, I admit it. I shave my dick. I shave my balls and my dick. There, I said it. Now some of you guys may ask yourself why a guy would want to shave his dick. There are several reasons. For example, it prevents the "work stoppage" while she is picking hair out of her teeth. It's cooler in the summer. But let me tell you the really important reason. The one reason that should make you consider taking a blade to your privates. It makes your dick look bigger! Okay, Mr. Smart Ass with the nine inch cock, some of us are only average (you measured the bottom you cheater) and need all the advantage we can get. Shaving your manhood gives the cosmetic appearance of at least an extra inch or two. Think about it: Up to two inches of extra dick for free. And even if two extra inches of dick isn't important to you, it may thrill the shit out of her.
Nothing fancy, mind you. We aren't shaving your pubes off. All we are going for is a clean shaft and a little clearing so she can see the entire picture. First you're gonna need a shaving gel. I won't bother recommending brands. I've tried several and couldn't tell you one from the other. Just buy one for sensitive skin or maybe even, if you're secure in your sexuality, one made for "feminine usage". I hear the ones that contain oatmeal prevent razor bumps. Second, a brand-new, brand-name, disposable razor. This is your best friend we are talking about here - don't be cheap. And if you were considering a straight razor...YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN! Start by lathering him up good and let the shaving gel set a while to soften the hair. Lather your shaft and all around it thoroughly.
Start at the top of your penis. I pull mine down out of the way so I can see what I'm doing. I stroke the razor away from the head into the hair-line, rinsing the blade after every stroke. This lets you judge how far back from the shaft you want to shave. Personally I shave an inch or so up from my penis. Then I continue the same stroke around each side to my balls. Shaving this direction (toward your body) will also tend to be against the growth of pubic hair which will give you the smoothest, closest shave. As you work your way around the bottom you will probably be surprised at how far up the shaft hair grows. Hair that is obscuring your "package".
Now you will probably want to go back to the sides and take a little more off. For the maximum size illusion you will want to shave almost straight across your hair line. This area is a little harder to get to. Simply pull the razor down into the crease where nutsack becomes body. Finish up by doing your testicles last. Gently draw the razor downward over the skin. Close is not all that important here. The hairs here are generally finer and therefore kissable even after a few days growth. But your bag is a virtual mine field of bumps and wrinkles. I think we can opt for safety in this area. And just do the front and sides. No one looks at the back of them anyhow.
Now I bet you want to know if it itches. Fuck yeah. I'm only kidding. Actually at first you will want to shave at least every day or two until you skin becomes accustomed to the change. I've never had to use any after products but I can imagine a good face cream could alleviate any initial discomfort you might feel. Personally I use one of those scrunchy body scrub things when I bathe. They are great for removing dead skin cells which are actually the cause of any itching as much as the new hair growth. But trust me. After a week or so it will feel as natural as the fallen rain and you can concentrate on creaming her face instead of applying face cream. There you have it. A simple process with dramatic results. And after you get the hang of it, invite her to join in. Hell, it's hard to tell what might get shaved with two of you involved.
If the hair on your pussy is really thick and long, then the best place to start is with the scissors or an electric beard trimmer. Take off as much of the hair as you can. This will make for a much easier job when it's time to apply the razor to that pussy.

The Joy of a Shaved Pussy
With or without hair, your pussy is something superbly erotic and therefore it shouldn't matter whether you shave or not. Having said that, I think every woman should try the "bald look" at least once. A hairless vulva reveals the sexy shapes and soft texture of the labia, the clitoral hood and the mons.
A freshly shaved bald pussy waiting for some attention.
And it's not just about the look, it's also about the "feel". Being smooth lets you experience more sensations during sex, since the skin on your pussy will be aware of the slightest licks, kisses and caresses. Everything gets super sensitive! It also gives your partner easier access to your pleasure spot and more reasons to spoil you with things like hot-oil vulva massages or endless oral sex (no hair in the mouth 
)
As a man, I can say this: Nothing compares to the tenderness of a freshly shaved pussy. The feeling of touching it with your fingers or your tongue and lips is beyond description. And the sensation of cupping your mouth around a big hairless pussy is simply out of this world!
Some Cultural Aspects of Pubic Hair Removal
Shaving your hair around your genitals is something very personal and if it is your first time doing it you will feel very naked. But remember that there is nothing strange or unnatural about it. In fact, women have been removing their pubic hair for the longest time, usually for hygienic reasons. The Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans were already doing it and so were countless others throughout the centuries that followed. In some cultures they did it for religious reasons. In Islam for example it has always been a requirement.
In western cultures it's mostly an issue of personal preference. Some people enjoy it, some don't. Still, a woman who shaves or trims her pubic hair is usually seen as more attractive and feminine. When the author Charles Panati did a survey for his book Sexy Origins and Intimate Things, he found that almost 70% of men found a shaved pubic area irresistible on a woman.
As I mentioned earlier hygiene is also factor. It is easier to keep your genital area clean when there is less hair. This doesn't mean that having a bush is unhygienic; it simply requires a little more work in the shower. So even if being bald doesn't automatically make you cleaner, it surely feels cleaner and fresher. I don't know a single girl who doesn't enjoy a fresh summer breeze under her skirt when she has no panties on. Now imagine how that must feel after you have just shaved your pussy!

Pouring Hot WAX on my Vagina
Okay, I figured a title like that would get people's attention. I’ll admit that it wasn’t really hot wax on my vagina, it was on my labia.
Let me back up:
(Please note that it's required that you put both hands up to your head gesticulating the "quotes" around certain words with your fingers as you read this.)
Prior to leaving for my "vacation" to Burning Man, I "treated" myself to a Brazilian wax.
I wasn't quite sure what a Brazilian wax meant, but I did know women swore by them and men drooled at them. Did it mean my pubic area would be left completely bare like a twelve year old girl? (That would be a little embarrassing.) Did it require anesthesia? How exactly did the waxer get all-the-way in “there”? Will I scream? Will it feel strangely erotic?
I had bikini waxes before and loved them, so I figured it couldn't be that different. I was about to leave for Burning Man and would be prancing around in 120 degree heat half naked, dehydrated, and tired while worrying about my make-up and which pair of fishnets to wear. The last thing I needed to be concerned about was shaving my pubes, so the wax would eliminate part of my overall “vacation” maintenance.
A few things I learned fast about a Brazilian Wax:
- It hurt like a mother fucker. I let out a pretty hefty yelp at least twice.
- And yes the waxer had my legs open, fidgeted with my labia, ripped my pubic hair from the corners of every available space on my "privates” and even asked me to sit up doggie style, while she made sure all the surface area was completely "handled" correctly.
- I was able to keep some hair. As opposed to an entire bare look. I chose the small “triangle of love,” versus the “landing strip of love.”
- My skin was swollen, red, and burning directly after the waxing. I was instructed to take ibuprofen and put arnica gel or cortaid on my suddenly prickly-pubic- chicken skin to reduce the initial swelling.
- BUT..... it felt totally great after about 24 hours! The smoothness of my own skin "down there" was titillating to say the least. I couldn't believe that it could be so soft.
- And yes, I found out a few days later that it increased sensitivity in all the right places at all the right times, which made up for any pain or discomfort that I experienced.
A Brief History of the “Brazilian” :
The Brazilian wax was introduced to New Yorkers in 1987 when seven Brazilian sisters, Jocely, Jonice, Joyce, Janea, Jussara, Juracy, and Judseia Padilha opened J. Sisters International Salon in midtown Manhattan. They swore by it’s effectiveness in many aspect: bikinis had gotten skimpier, husbands were suddenly eager to please their wives, and since the hair doesn’t grow back for a month, it was easy to maintain.
A few important things to know about a Good Brazilian:
- Some waxers refuse to do this kind of wax since it is highly personal. The best way to find a good waxer is word of mouth and Jane Cowan in Portland is by far the best Brazilian waxer in Portland, Oregon and one of the best on the west coast. She has clients that visit her from all over the world when they are in the vicinity.
- Your waxer will know you as personally as, well, your lover or gynecologist. So it’s best to just pretend it’s the most normal thing you’ve ever done and laugh it off. Jane will make you feel totally comfortable!
- Do NOT expect it to be easy. It hurts and that’s the bottom line. No pain, no gain.

How To Shave Your Vagina - Female Genital Depilation
Facts & Information About Shaving Your Pussy - Pubic Hair Removal
First things first. If you have never been shaved before you are in for a real treat. Shaving a pussy - doing it yourself or having it done for you - is not a hygiene chore and is in itself a sensual experience. The shave itself is very erotic and the end result is a beautiful, fully exposed vagina and all its external parts.
If the hair on your pussy is really thick and long, then the best place to start is with the scissors or an electric beard trimmer. Take off as much of the hair as you can. This will make for a much easier job when it's time to apply the razor to that pussy.

Pubic Hair Styles Instructions and Recommendations
Today we can achieve our own “aesthetic ideals” by using quicker, easier, less painful methods. And make no mistake about it: the state of our pubic hair—its shape, fragrance, texture, even color—makes a clear statement about us and our sensuality. It's a personal expression of our most private selves, not to mention incredibly sexy no matter whether we comb, condition, cut, shave, wax, or loop daisies in it.
Ready to try something new? Whether you decide to go nearly natural (a full, fluffy look) or totally bare (for maximum sensitivity) or anything in between, it should be a reflection of you…your preferences, your taste, your unique and private personality.
Description
Bare bikini line, but otherwise just as if Mother Nature had styled you herself.
Instructions
Shave or wax the hair in the crease of the leg and on the inner thigh, leaving the rest naturally full.
Recommendations
Use your imagination and enjoy your long, flowing locks. You can do a lot of preening for special occasions: tie bows, lace daisies, style with diamond-studded bobby pins… Experiment with shampoos and conditioners, or adorn yourself with your favorite flounces to create the look of a garden or treasure chest. One of the latest variations: fluffy on the mons (the visible V) but bare on the lower labia. It's the '70s up top and the '00s down below.
Description
No hair anywhere.
Instructions
Take it off, take it all off!
Recommendations
If you have coarse or dense hair, this may be only a once-in-a-while style for you, or else you'll want to wax. Shaving the whole area every day could irritate both your skin and you, as could heavy regrowth, unless you're using one of the new battery-powered shavers, such as the Seiko Cleancut or the rechargeable BodyBare. Depilatories may be a good solution. Once you're there, cotton underwear, or nothing at all if you're wearing a dress and feeling free, feels the best. This style is especially suited to stick-on jewels, temporary tattoos, henna designs, even body paint. You have a bare canvas… create! And here's another popular variation: the “Bollywood” is bare with a henna design.
Description
Any intricate design, such as fruit (strawberry, peach) or shapes (heart, diamond, gift box with a bow), or an imitation of a famous person. There's the “Elvis” (sideburns with a tuft of hair on top) and the “Marilyn” (platinum blonde), among others. For a contemporary tribute, consider the “Beckham,” after the sexy Brit's Mohican, popular recently among Japanese World Cup fans.
Instructions
We recommend you do this with professional help, but if you must do it yourself, you can use a washable ink pen to outline your design, and be sure to crop the hair close first. If your design turns out lopsided or otherwise unrecognizable, you can always go bare for a while.
Recommendations
Start laughing. Consider people with signature features you'd like to install downstairs: Joan Crawford's arched eyebrows? Cher's silky black tresses? (Hair extensions, anyone?) Visit a salon and tell a professional exactly what you want. Ask about dying your hair, too, such as red for a strawberry, bright blue for Marge Simpson's bouffant, or powder blue for a Tiffany box, one of the more unusual hairstyles to hit Hollywood in recent memory.

Your Own Pubic Hair Style
A stencil can help you get lines straight and symmetrical pubic styles close to matching. Whether you're shaving, waxing, or sugaring, you can create your own. Just follow these directions:
1. First, you need to find a design you like. Check out the clip art available in the free Body Art and Stenciling Kit that comes with our eBook Hot Pink: The Girls' Guide to Primping, Passion, and Pubic Fashion, browse Microsoft Word, or search online.
2. Print the pubic hair style directly onto heavy-weight paper. (If your printer can't do that, print on regular paper and, using scissors, roughly cut out the design, leaving about one inch of white border (blank space) around it. Coat the back of the design with glue, then attach it to heavy paper or a laminating sheet and let dry.)
3. For a simple shape (such as a star), use an X-acto knife to cut around the edge of the design. Use a ruler or straight edge as a guide for cutting straight lines.
4. If you'll be applying a depilatory, use a laminating sheet. Peel off the protective back to expose the adhesive, then gently stick the stencil on your pubic hair. Put some petroleum jelly around the edges to “seal” it so the depilatory doesn't sneak under the stencil. When you're ready to remove the sticky stencil, lift carefully. If stuck, soak it off in a lukewarm bath.
5. Another option is a “relief,” where you remove hair from inside the design rather than outside of it. You need plentiful pubes for this. Just create a larger stencil piece, remove the design shape from the center to create a mask, and then remove the hair that pokes through the cut-out shape.
In addition to creating a new coiffure with your stencil, you and a lover can use it (or others) to decorate yourselves. Body painting can take on many moods: imaginative, silly, adventurous, romantic, reverent. And experimenting with different paintbrushes yields a variety of lovely sensations.

Bikini Hair Removal Options
Useful tip is Hair Inhibitors
To get maximum results from any of the bikini hair removal methods below, use a hair inhibitor to reduce hair growth. This will greatly reduce your waxing and shaving sessions
Option 1 - Waxing
For best results with bikini hair removal, a hard wax is needed, either for total bikini hair removal or when leaving a strip of hair.
When waxing for bikini hair removal follow these suggestions:
- Avoid showering and making the hair wet prior to waxing. Hair absorbs the water making it soft and less likely to adhere well to the wax. Tough hair is easier to pull off.
- Be sure to test a small area of skin first to make sure there is no acute sensitivity or allergic reaction to bikini hair removal with waxing.
- Hair should be at least 1/8 inch long. If it isn't wait until it reaches this length.
- Be sure to wash the skin thoroughly and dry it well beforehand to remove any lotions or oils which may prevent the wax from adhering closely to the skin.
- Heat the wax carefully so as not to overheat and thus burn the skin when applying. Test on a small area first. The consistency should be soft rather than runny.
- If pain and discomfort is a main concern use a pain reducing gel or cream available from pharmacists. These solutions should be applied 30 to 60 minutes before waxing so the skin is numbed beforehand.
- Apply a thin layer of wax in the direction of the hair growth and peel back with a rapid movement close to the skin. Do not pull up or out, rather pull back.
- Clean the skin with a warm moist towel afterwards to remove excess wax.
- Avoid wearing tight clothing over freshly waxed areas to minimize the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs.
- After 24-48 hours exfoliate the skin (with a Loofa sponge for example) to prevent the dead skin from accumulating and causing hair to become ingrown after bikini hair removal.
- GiGi Brazilian Body Hard Wax achieves the desired results when using waxing for bikini hair removal.
Option 2 - Electric Shaving
The "Cleancut"/Feather Touch Personal Razor is a battery operated, ultra-fine screen, rotary-head personal razor that leaves the skin very smooth after bikini hair removal. This razor is especially designed for the pubic area and will provide a fine shave without irritation. Neither will it 'bite' the sensitive areas or cause ingrown hairs after bikini hair removal.
Option 3 - Wet Shaving
Choose a female razor, obtainable from Wilkinson Sword or other well known razor manufacturers, rather than an ordinary safety razor. Microfine wires wrap around the blade minimizing the risk of nicks and cuts. Opt for a more expensive good quality razor rather than a cheap throw away which is more likely to cause nicks, soreness and razor burns in this sensitive area.
If the pubic hair is thick and long use small scissors to trim down the hair to about a quarter of an inch. This will avoid blunting and clogging the razor too quickly.
Wet a large, washcloth and lay it over the entire pubic area for two or three minutes. Alternatively, take a long hot bath or stay in the shower for a while making sure the genital area receives a lot of water. Pubic hair is coarser than head hair and needs more time to soften.
Shave upwards against the direction of the hair growth. Make sure there is shaving foam on the skin each time you make a stroke with the razor. Shaving bare skin can cause razor burn.
To stop or reduce itching after shaving rub an ice cube over the area. Alternatively, rub a little baby oil into the pubic area.
If you suffer from itchiness or blood spots, let the hair grow back for a week before shaving again.
Keep the shaven area well moisturized between shaves by using a skin moisturizer or baby lotion. This will reduce the uncomfortable effect the stubble may cause between shaves.
Option 4 - Laser Treatment
Bikini hair removal by laser treatment can take approximately 8 - 10 minutes. At least 2 or 3 treatments are necessary.
An absolute requirement is that the hair must be darker than the surrounding skin. White skin with dark hair responds best. Persons with dark, coarse hair are the easiest to treat as dark hair contains melanin, a dark pigment which attracts the laser light so more laser energy is absorbed. Fewer sessions are needed. Light colored hair is more difficult to treat and blonde and red hair are very difficult to treat requiring multiple sessions with varied results.
As for pain with laser bikini hair removal, this varies from person to person depending on their sensitivity. Some have described the sensation to a slight sting on the skin. Others say it feels like a pinch on the skin.
The cost of laser bikini hair removal can vary according to geographic area. Use your local yellow pages and telephone a few laser clinics to get comparisons.
Valid Vagina Shaving Suggestions
If you've been shaving your vaginal area, then you already have some idea of what's involved. But maybe you're not completely satisfied with the results. Perhaps these suggestions will help you as well as those who are just starting vagina shaving.
For many females, the vaginal area becomes ultra sensitive, just before, during and after their menstrual cycle.
SUGGESTION: If you're aware of this, you can limit irritations if you wait to do your vagina shaving until this period peak has passed.
Many females have seriously injured themselves attempting vagina shaving when they weren't fully awake. You definitely need your wits about you when you're placing a sharp blade against this sensitive area. Besides, while you're sleeping, the skin becomes somewhat bloated with fluids, which makes your skin puffy. This makes it harder for your razor to get a close shave.
SUGGESTION: If you wait 20-30 minutes after waking before shaving, your skin will be more taut and you'll be able to get a cleaner, closer shave.
Many females have also seriously injured themselves attempting vagina shaving when they weren't totally straight.
SUGGESTION: If you've altered your natural state in any way, vagina shaving should be done at another time.
You need your razor's blade to be as sharp as possible and you need to be able to see your vagina when you're shaving.
SUGGESTION: Always trim long pubic hairs down to a stubble with scissors or a hair trimmer, not your razor, before shaving your vagina.
The best position for vaginal shaving is reputedly while in the tub or shower with one leg up, supported by something that isn't slippery. But some females find it easier to reach all of the vaginal area while seated on a toilet.
Moisturizing your skin and hair will make vaginal shaving much easier.
SUGGESTION: If you're not able to take a long, hot shower or bath, at least apply a warm cloth over your vaginal area for several minutes.
Dry skin means dead cells are on the surface and these will be scraped into the hair follicles, (from which hairs grow), as you're shaving. Dry hair is tough and pubic hair is coarse, a bad combination. Which means these hairs will more often break while you're shaving. And both of these results will definitely cause severe skin irritations.
SUGGESTION: Apply a generous amount of a good lubricant, allow it to sit for several minutes and then make sure there's always plenty of it as you're shaving your vagina.
As stated earlier, you need your shaving blade to be as sharp as possible. A dull blade is the number one cause of skin irritations because it will pull on the follicles and only tear the hairs.
SUGGESTION: ALWAYS make sure you use a fresh, clean blade every time you shave your vagina. And rinse the blade after each stroke.
If you start by shaving against the direction your vaginal hair grows, you'll create more pulling of the follicles and tearing of the hairs, and consequently, irritations.
SUGGESTION: Always start your vaginal shaving at the the back, do the sides and then the front WITH the way your vaginal hair grows. Once you have the bulk of the hairs removed, THEN you can shave against the way the hair grows. This will give you the clean, close and smooth shave you're wanting, without aggravating the skin so much.
Many people believe if you press down while you're shaving or shave over the same area repeatedly, you'll get a closer, smoother shave. Truth is, you'll only get razor burns, rashes and bumps that may even turn into ingrown hairs that become infected.
SUGGESTION: Take special care not to apply too much pressure or shave the same area repeatedly.
Shaving the hairs just inside the larger, outer lips can be tricky, but it really needs to be done to make your vaginal shaving complete.
SUGGESTION: Gently pull and flatten this looser skin taut with one hand as you slowly draw the razor across with the other.
SUGGESTION: BE CAREFUL!

Little Known Ways to Vagina Shaving
I started shaving bikini line (fur along my inner thighs and lowest belly) when I was about 13, I think. It was the same time I started shaving my legs, which I recall being after everyone else (this is probably a slightly biased memory). I started shaving cause I was getting teased about being furry, and because I wanted to be smooth; I thought it was feminine and sexy. And necessary.
So this is a story of my ways to vagina shaving.
I stopped shaving my legs and armpits when I was about 17 but kept at my bikini line for another year or two. Until I was 19, I can remember because I was quitting it when I met special boy and was slightly worried that he might think the growing crop of hair on my inner thighs was unsightly-- not for being there, just for not matching the rest of the full-grown pubic hair.
Shaving was always something I did in the shower or in the tub. I seem to remember trying to do it once at a sink, somehow splashing myself to get the skin wet, but I must have been camping or something. I did recognise the importance of wetting the area to be shaved. Dry shaving can result in unsightly and uncomfortable red bumps on the skin (razor burn!), maybe because the lack of lubrication irritates the skin (not sure).
My main advisors in the art of shaving were magazines aimed at young women. Every 18 months or whatever they run a "how to get a great shave" article and frequently have questions in the advice columns about what to do about lack of closeness, lack of smoothness, whatever.
What I did was this: I got the bikini area wet, but not too warm so as to avoid making the skin swell (on the advice that it would un-swell later and leave little pricks of hair poking up), and shaved with a wet, sharp, clean, un-nicked razor in the opposite direction of hair growth (ie: from ends to roots). This translated to shaving towards the outsides of my fur.
I found it best to encroach on the fur in small increments, especially if I hadn't shaved in awhile or was breaking new territory. Saving a long swath of long fur caused problems because the hair would clog up the razor, and because hair would get tangled around and I would end up cutting parts of hairs that weren't in the line of fire. Thus, I started at the outermost edge of the fur and crept inward with small strokes.
Often I would note red bumps after vagina shaving, which were somewhat unsightly. The only advice I can recall seeing regarding the treatment and prevention of these was to apply a disinfectant/antibiotic cream like Polysporin after bikini line shaving. Presumably this would counteract redness due to minor infection of irritated follicles and skin. My bikini line was the only place I noticed these red bumps, so long as I didn't shave anything while dry.
I sort of gave up hoping for closeness and an absence of all prickliness, but on some message board lately (now that I don't shave), a woman was giving her super-duper bikini line shaving process guaranteed to produce beautiful bare inner thighs. I haven't done this, but I relay it for the benefit of the interested.
The basic principles of vagina shaving were three things:
Do all this the night before you require a lovely bikini line. Before setting about shaving, soak in a nice hot tub and soak the (clean, sharp, un-nicked) razor as well so that everything is warm and wet.
Once very warm, and while still in the tub, shave the desired area from roots to tips (the direction of growth). If hair is not fair or if roots still appear dark, pull the skin tight and shave against the grain, from tips to roots. Careful not to cut yourself doing this-- pulling skin tight makes it much easier to nick.
Finally, once out of the tub and dry, apply an antibiotic cream generously over the shaven area and wear tight fitting shorts, tights or long-underwear to bed. Ideally, in the morning, a smooth and bare bikini line.
I like smooth bare skin as much as the next sailor, but I also feel the need to point out that furriness is fun too, and that shaving is a pain. Stubble begins to be detectable by feel the very next day, although it may not be visible for 2-3 days. It can't successfully be reshaven
