Female Pubic Hair Shaving
When it comes to women shaving their genital area, there are a few general tips that must be adhered to.- Firstly make sure that you do not attempt to shave the pubic region in the morning. Your tissues retain fluids overnight and so the skin in your pubic area maybe more swollen or 'puffy' than usual. If you have to shave your genital area in the morning then try to wait at least an hour after waking up. This is to make sure that you are shaving as effectively as possible and your skin is as smooth as possible.
- Make sure that after shaving that you wear loose fitting clothes, this is because the genital skin will be sensitive, especially after the first few times and so will be easily irritated.
- Finally, make sure that you find a quiet time during the day and week to shave your pubic region, as the first time may well take an hour or more. This will also ensure that you do not rush the procedure and thus reduces the chances of nicks and cuts.
- Make sure that you invest in a good quality pre-shave oil, to reduce friction between the skin and the razor and to ensure that it glides as efficiently as possible.
- Make sure that you have plenty of moisturising lotion available after shaving. Most people forget this and find that their skin becomes irritated and sore.
1. Firstly trim down the current pubic hair using scissors or a body hair trimmer. This will reduce the chances of 'pulling' and any longer hairs damaging the razor your using making it prone to nicks and cuts.
2. Next take a warm bath, this will clean the area you wish to shave and open the skin and hair pores allowing for a closer more comfortable shave.
3. After this make sure the area is dried thoroughly and then apply a generous amount of pre-shave oil to the area you wish to shave.
4. The next step here is to make sure that the razor you are using is as sharp as humanly possible; this will usually mean that it will be beneficially to get a new blade purely for this event.
5. Now whilst shaving, make sure that you stretch the skin tight with your free hand and use slow and long strokes over the area to remove your pubic hair. This is easier if the shaving strokes are done in the direction that the pubic hair grows.
6. After this has been done, apply more pre-shave oil and start shaving in the same way as before but go against the direction that the pubic hair grows. This will ensure that the closest shave possible is obtained.
7. Finally after this has been done, clean the area thoroughly and apply a light moisturiser on the skin. This is because protective layers of skin and minerals are removed whilst shaving and using a premium quality moisture will allow the skin to retain more of its moisture and regenerate faster.
8. Finally rest, the area will heal itself and be less sore if you take adequate time out to ensure that there is not too much rubbing or chaffing of the effected area from clothes.

5. For a male, the easiest way to begin to shave the genital region is to start at the bottom. Here you must pull 'everything' up with your free hand and embark upon shaving in between your legs and then upwards. Due diligence and care is required when shaving aroung the central scrotum area however as the skin is particularly venerable and sensitive there.
