The hairless look has become more popular over the last few years and it seems every time a star forgets to wear her panties we get the impression that pubic hair is extinct. There are good reasons to choose the hairless look such as aesthetics and hygiene. When performed right a vaginal shave is a beautiful thing. However razor burn and stubble can really turn into an itchy affair - take a look at these 3 pre shaving steps to guarantee a smooth and itch free shave.
Rushing into things is definitely not the way to go when you want to get the smoothest possible pubic hair shave. Here are the top three mistakes to avoid before you even pick up the razor.
1) Forget the scalpel; it's time for the machete
Before you even reach for that razor make sure your pubic hair is prepared. If the hair is longer than 1/4 inch reach for a sharp pair of scissors or a beard trimmer to shorten it. This will make it easier for your razor to cut the hair closely and prevents the blades from clogging up more often than necessary. It's best to perform this step when the hair is dry. At this point precision isn't really necessary. You just want to get the hair as short as possible while taking care that you don't cut yourself with the scissors or clippers.
2) Don't forget to steam it up
One of the reasons a vaginal shave isn't nearly as close as it could be is that you didn't steam up your pubic region enough. Washing the area with hot water before you begin shaving is a good way to avoid that nasty stubble. If you are like me and shave your vagina in the shower this part is easy but it will also work while standing in front of a sink using a wash cloth. In that case soak the washcloth and wring it out lightly. Lay it on your pubic region to heat it up. The water should be quite hot so the hair gets softened and your pores open. The opening of the pores will result in hair follicles moving further out allowing the razor to cut the hair closer to the root.
3) Don't start without applying lube
Dragging a razor across sensitive skin like that in your pubic region is murder on skin. The sharp blades wick moisture away and irritate the skin. One way to avoid that is to use a good pre-shaving oil. The oil forms a protective layer on your skin and coats your pubic hair to allow the razor to glide over the skin easier. Apply the oil by rubbing a light coating into your skin before applying any other shaving foams or gels.
These are the three major pre shaving tips when going for that ultra smooth, non irritated vaginal shave. Making sure you don't rush into shaving is half the battle. There is a reason facial shaves in barber shops are a lengthy affair - because the amazingly close shave you get are worth it. Take a few minutes to get things just right and you will avoid that itchy feeling after you shave.
