wow you only shave once a week? if I don't do it every day I look like frekin chewbacka! \n\nwell I should say most blades will last you probably at least 3 months with that little use.  When you start to notice its just not working as well is the best way to tell. you know when it leaves alittle stubble yet.

shave.  shave everyday for a few years.  everytime you shave those hairs they will want to grow back thicker, and you can stimulate poors to begin new growth.

Shave after a hot shower.  Ditch the three bladed-razor and use a 2 or 1 bladed.  Shave only in the direction of the grain.  Use a high quality cream (not drug store variety).  \n\nThe thing that helped me THE MOST was buying a shave brush.  My face has never looked better, and the shaves are super close.

this works for me.......I bought a pair of men's razor, I got the gillete 3 blade turbo and I use Pantene conditioner instead of shaving cream or soap. Pat dry and afterward a dab a little bit of coco butter on the shaved area.

No matter what you do, shaving will only be good for about 12hours, then you will have about a week of itchy, spikey hair.  The best is to have the area waxed, otherwise just trim closely with scissors.\n\nRemember to exfoliate really really well to prevent ingrown hairs.

Just be clean. And write down some questions you may want to ask or are concern about. Just relax they are professionals, they do this everyday. No need to shave, unless you want to.

Go with a Norelco or Remington triple blade rotating razor.  They range in price but the mid range models are very good.  They are less likely to cause irritation and they will last a long time without needing attention.

I find that my husbands mach3 is the best I have ever used. He's upgraded to a new razor and I still use the mach3 in the shower and I love it. Will never use "female" razors again as I find they pretty much go dull after the first or second use and since I shave my legs everyday I need something that can take the punishment.

When shaving your genital area with a razor blade, please be aware that you might develop folliculitis which is really an infected hair follicle but can feel like a small cyst on the skin (or even a pimple).  Some people are more prone to this condition than others, but it can be annoying and somewhat uncomfortable so I at least wanted to mention it.

I've had a problem  with razor bumps for years myself until Gillette came out with the Gillette Sensor line of razors blades including the Mach 1 Thur 3 and the new Gillette Fussion.They're expensive but i haven't had a razor bump since.

The accepted norm is downstrokes. I always use downstrokes to shave the majority of hair then upstrokes to get really close and don't normally have any problems. Make sure you take no more than fourstrokes with a blade before rinsing excess hairs and change the blades on a regular basis because blunt blades are the cause of the majority of cases of razor burn. Best razor for everyday use - Gillette Mach 3 Turbo. Don't nother with any other 'more blades' system - they're completely useless and just a marketing ploy. Hope that helps.

i use a single blade razor. all of those multi blade razors cause more irritation. i also shave down, in the direction of the hair growth, because its less stressful on the razor and on the skin. if you dont like shaving, i know some people who just trim the hair with a pair of scissors, but if you choose this method, be careful not to cut yourself. try some different things and see what works best for you.

You razor might be too dull or not have enough blades on it.  The single bladed razors are the worst for nicks an cuts.  Try Veet,it's a new razorless shaver.  Or you can wax too.
