Shaving info:
1. If you have long pubic hairs, trim hair with clippers or scissors. Electric clippers are best for this purpose.
2. Take a long, warm bath beforehand.
3. Before applying shaving cream, rinse area with cool water.
4. Apply shaving cream a few minutes before shaving to soften hairs. Consider using a shaving cream with additional conditioners or aloe.
5. Be sure to use a sharp blade. You might try using two new blades if you are shaving a large area.
6. When shaving, stroke an area no more than twice to reduce skin irritation. On the first stroke, go "with the grain" to remove most of the hair, then go "against the grain" for a smooth, close shave.
7. Be sure to clean the area afterwards with soap and water to reduce the risk of infection.
8. Some people find daily applying baby powder or talcum powder especially helpful after shaving to keep the area dry and irritation-free.
9. Practice clean hygiene after shaving, washing the area at least once a day to reduce sweat and oil build-up.
10. Go as long as possible between shavings to reduce skin irritation.
