PurrForMe -> RE: Shaving question??????? (5/13/2005 3:21:12 AM)

I remember wy back wen I was just an ikkle sub and my miss decided she wanted me to be bare I went through about 6 months of hell trying to figure out shaving, in the end i found out certain things that help a lot (in my case).
1: hair conditioner is by far the best shaving lubricant I've ever found. I use pantene more often than not as it is good and thick and comes in enormous bottles that seem to last forever.
2: as others have already said use a super duper razor like the mach 3. I use the original bog standard mach 3 as I've found no difference in using the newer versions. ive also use the willlkensonn sword protector though for me ths was less than successful. these razors do seem to be sharper shave cleaner and dont seem to dull as quickly.
3: I sterilise my razor after use, even though pubic hair is pretty tough as hair goes one use of a razor before dumping is wasteful and unnessecary, simply soak ur razor in anyting antiseptic and rinse it well before sotring it somewhere dry.
4: moisturise like crazy, just as there is no such thing as too much lube, when it comes to shaving there's no such thing as too much moisturiser. For quality and value for money E45 creme is probably the best.
5: the worst part of shaving especially inthe begining before you adapt to it is the itching. Use a large make up brush and brush on a light coating of baby powder and this will help reduce this, especially in the rub zones between ur pubic bone and ur legs. Make sure you wash this off very thoroughly as it can clog pores if you don't take very good care of your skin.
6: ingrown hairs not only suck but they can be blinding agony if they get very infected. To avoid this go to your local beauty store and buy a good exfoliating glove, use this lightly and carefully in the moring and before bed the two days after you shave and ingrowns will more often than not be a thing of the past. These gloves are also a really great way of making sure the baby powder is really gone.
7: If you do get an ingrown hair or an hair which is starting to ingrow (you'll soon learn to read the signs) using a sharp sterilised tweezer very gently to scrap the tiny skin bump back will often pop the hair out with no pain and little difficulty. These I generaly just pluck and in my case at least the replacement always grows back normally. for ones that are a little deeper I wills ometimes squeeze gently but firmly with the tweezer again to pop it out. If all this fails a weak solution of epsom salts is good for dealing with the infection quickly before it becomes nasty and after this the hair will gorn inside you until it eventually pops. As unpleasant as this is sometimes there's no other choice, I really advise against digging after them with a tweezers, down this road lives only pain of a bad kind.
8: Shaving against the grain is a very bad idea, it will lead to way more skin irritationa nd ingrowns, but for many myself included shaving with the grain leaves you with stubbly areas, a good half way house is to shave at 90 degress tot he direction of growth this is nowhere near as tough on ur skin as shaving against thegrain but catches the hair at a better angle than shaving with.
9: depending on how much hair you have you may have quite a bit in the rub zone where your legs join your pubic area, this can be a place where itching, ingrowns and infections will drive you mental, I quickly learned that the easiest way for me to deal with this was simply to wax or pluck it, and then its simple to maintain needing only a minute or two to get whatever has grown thru overnight. It may seem time consuming but its gentle (if done carefully), will not lead to any ingrowns (again if done carefully) and as my miss was want to tell me it showed that little extra effort on her behalf.
10: dont forget to stand to attention when you miss is inspecting to see if you've done the job properly.
hope all this helps somewhat.
