warm shower helps soften the hair. shave in the direction  the facial hair is growing to avoid irritation (on the neck shaving down is better for less irritation. If your face can handle it; for the closest shave, shave down and up on each area. This may lead to irritation and shaving bumps though

I have been shaving for 50 years and find that the cheap disposable 'Bic' razors, a good shaving brush and Palmolive soap gives the best shaves with no pulling, nicking or chaffing.  None of the 'new' razors or jels do anything for me.  I keep returning to the 'Bic'...........

When I started shaving I used an electric razor for convenience.  I always felt that the shave was not as close as it could be.  Then because of a skin condition I had to start using a standard (safety) razor.  I was shocked to find that my shaves were not any closer at first, but improved as I gained experience with the razor.  Then when newer models of electric razor came out, I switched back and found them comparable to the standard razor.  The new Norelcos are even better, and I don't think i can get a better shave with a safety razor.   Many men believe that the only way to get a  truly close shave is with the old-fashioned straight razor, and they may be right if you don't mind risking your life every morning.\n\nI had a lot or problems with nicks and cuts using a blade razor (I  had acne and rough skin).  My advice, try both and use the one that works for you.

I'm a shaver. I have been perfecting my technic for 3 years now and here is my experiance. I go SIDEWAYS on the pubis bone area and at the joint of the leg area. If you are shaving the labia shave front to back like you wipe. Use a men's shaver with at least 3 blades and shaving cream. Lather on the cream and let sit for about 60 seconds then shave. Use short strokes and rinse the razor often. Red bumps will go away if you shave consistantly (every other day). I use Emu oil to sooth the area but Vit E is also a good moisturizer and wont irritate the skin.\n\nBiggest key is shave often to get the skin use to it. If your gonna do it you have to be consistant.

Men's face? If you have no skin problem, I think any soap will be good. Normal soap is all equal, while for fat or dry skin could be useful utilize specific soap.

Electric shavers tend to be for people who really don't need to shave very much or have very soft beards.  I find them to be worthless.  I'd much rather have some good after shave or cologne.

An ex-girlfriend of mine used to shave all the time, & she would rub on some stuff after shaving.  It was either called Bikini Bare or Bikini Zone.  She was able to get it over the counter at Wal-Mart, I believe.  Anyway, that may help.

I prefer hairy guys, but not too much hair!  Especially under the arms.  just clip it or shave with electric razor, doesn't have to be too close.  Hair on stomach and chest is nice and fine.

I think shaving is the easiest.  Try doing it in a hot shower after you've been in it for a few minutes.  That will soften the hair and make the skin more able to tolerate the razor.  After you're done be sure to moisturize.  I use neosporin on my skin after shaving.  It sounds strange, but it was a tip I read on the internet and it's the best thing that ever happened to my sensitive skin.

One more vote for naturally hairy.  Shaved does look like a little girl (and therefore seems sort of creapy and wrong) secondly that area does not lend itself to shaving as well as underarms, face, and legs.  Most women have terrible shaving bumps...yech...just leave it alone.  It has so much more character - color, texture, scent, density, distribution - much more interesting than bald.  And for those that said they were scared by a full bush, step aside you wimpy punks, you are a disgrace to the gender.

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're always going to see evidence of the hair.  the razor is not removing it completely.  that would seriously be painful.  however my faial hair is very thick, and look at my pic-  my skin is smooth.  i use neutrogena razor defense gel and at least a 3 blade razor.  i love the 5 blade razor.  you can actually get a blade razor that vibrates and although it's an uncomfortable shave it's the best.  try a mach 5 with vibrate and neutrogena razor defense cream.  that cream is the best!!

Don't pile it on.  Just enough to cover the areas on the face that has hair (that needs shaving).  Just because you have a half an inch worth of shaving cream on your face doesn't make shaving any easier.

I actually prefer using creams like Nair for hair removal. I found shaving to be irritating... it caused bumps and stubble grew back in a matter of days. Waxing, forget about it(yowch!). I find the cream to be quick and efficient, I don't have to deal with razor bumps, and hair doesn't start growing back for about a week.\nThe only downside is that many hair removal creams can irritate the sensitive skin in the pubic area. I'd try it on a small patch first, then see if you feel pain or have any marks after a few days. Do this on the area closest to the stomach, and then on an area close to the inner thigh to gauge how sensitive you are. If you have no pain or irritation, go for the entire pubic area. Take extra care not to get ANY cream on the moist mucus membrane of the vaginal area and certainly not on or near your clitoris. That will hurt...alot.

Your skin may be sensitive in that area.\n\nYou don't say if you are using an electric razor or a razor with shaving cream.\n\nIf it's the former, use Electric Shave lotion before you shave that sets up the beard.\n\nIf its the later, buy some "Edge" shaving GEL shaving cream.\n\nIt goes on as a gel first, then turns into a cream.  The gel acts as a barrier between the razor and your skin.\n\nMake sure you properly prepare your beard by using hot water (a hot wet towel works great) first before putting on the shaving cream.\n\nTry not to save too close either. (Don't press down hard)
