The art of shaving the genital area is not a hard one to learn. It just takes some practice.
If your hairs are long, trim them down to a stubble so you can see where you're shaving and save wear and tear on your razor.
Take a long, hot shower or bath to open the pores and soften the stubble. This will make shaving the genital area much easier. Dry hair will break more easily and shaving dry skin will cause irritation.
Apply a generous amount of your favorite lubricant to further soften the stubble and lock in moisture. This will also cause the hairs to stand erect, which will aid in shaving the genital area.
Always, always, always use a clean, fresh bade in your razor whenever you're shaving the genital area. A dull blade is the number one cause of skin irritations from shaving.
First shave in the direction the hair grows. Then you can shave in the opposite direction.
You shouldn't need to, and you really don't want to, shave any one area more than this second time. And take care not to apply too much pressure when shaving your genital area. These actions will not necessarily shave this area any closer, but they will definitely irritate the skin more.
Once you're finished shaving your genital area, thoroughly rinse off any remaining lubricant with warm water.
Then rinse again with cold water. This will calm and close the pores and tone the skin. Some people rub an ice cube over the area.
Pat, don't rub, the area dry with a clean, soft towel.
Now lightly dust the area with a talc free powder or just regular cornstarch. This will help absorb any moisture and oils.
Wearing loose clothing for a short while after shaving your genital area will limit friction and therefore, irritations.
Such is the art of shaving the genital area. Pretty simple really. And if you always follow these few rules, the results should be quite satisfying.
