Genital Hair Removal - Shaving
If the genital 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 genital 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. Genital hair is coarser than head hair and needs more time to soften when carrying out genital hair removal.
Apply plenty of shaving foam or gel over the area and leave for a few minutes to soften further. Ordinary soap is not suitable as it does not lock in the moisture to the hair the way a shaving preparation cream or gel does. Experiment with different brands if you find some cause skin irritation. They contain various chemicals and you need to find one that suits you.
Pull the skin straight with your free hand and shave without applying pressure.
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 and can be especially painful in genital hair removal.
Rinse the razor every couple of strokes as it will clog easily.
Rinse off and see any areas that may have been missed and again apply gel to that genital area and shave.
Massage unscented Vitamin E oil into the genital area after shaving.
To stop or reduce itching after shaving rub an ice cube over the area. Alternatively, rub a little baby oil into the genital 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.
