A bikini shave involves removing the pubic hairs that extend out from the main pubic area at the top of the thighs. This is a very sensitive area, especially if you've never shaved it before, so it's important to learn how to do it right so you'll want to do it again.
And you'll want to shave your bikini line areas again if you don't want to be embarrassed by pubic hairs sticking outside of the leg bands of your swimsuit. Not a good look - For males or females. Yes, males can need a bikini shave too.
A bikini shave can be done with an electric shaver, but many models are quite bulky and cumbersome, especially if they have a cord, which interferes with achieving the best shave.
A wet razor is the most commonly used shaving tool and while it's not the best for a beauteous bikini line shave, if handled properly, it can be used.
Most people who choose to shave their bikini lines basically just grab a wet razor and have at it. It's no wonder that their skin looks red and feels raw, as if it's just been scraped, because basically it has.
So the key is to learn how to properly go about a bikini area shave.
And just so it's been said - Go slowly and be careful.
First, trim the long pubic hairs with scissors or better yet, a hair trimmer before you ever begin your bikini shave.
Next, if at all convenient, take a shower or soak in a bath. If you can't do either of these, apply a warm cloth to the bikini line area. The idea is to open the pores and relax the stiff, coarse pubic hairs at the bikini lines. This will make your bikini shave much easier.
Then, apply a rich moisturizer and allow this to sit on your hair and skin for several minutes to get the maximum effect before you start your bikini shave.
After you make sure you have a new blade/razor, you're ready to start your bikini shave.
Some people believe the best position for a bikini shave is while standing in the tub or shower with one leg hiked up on something that is not slippery and will support your weight.
Others prefer to perform their bikini shave while sitting on an open toilet seat.
Following the direction your pubic hair grows, start your bikini shave at the back, on to the side and then up to the front. Don't apply pressure or repeat strokes or you'll irritate this sensitive skin.
When finished with your bikini shave, thoroughly rinse the area with warm water. Then flush with cold water to close the pores and calm and tone the skin.
Pat, don't rub, with a clean towel to dry your skin after a bikini shave.
Because bikini lines receive a good deal of constant friction, a bikini shave can be quickly irritated. Add to this the fact that the bikini line area stays moist and you've got a breeding ground for ingrown hairs.
The best way to limit friction is to wear loose fitting clothing for a while after your bikini shave and keep the area dry by dusting it with a talc free powder or just plain cornstarch.
Even after following all of these tips, unfortunately a bikini shave with a wet razor can more often than not irritate sensitive skin, which will make you sorry you chose shaving as your hair removal method in the first place.
