I keep it simple, everytime I shower I just shave south of the equator. The hot water opens up the pores and makes it easier to shave.
I have done everything from shaving to waxing. I used the Sally Hanson or Veet wax strips. They work pretty well for me. It is just a lot of work. When shaving I use a Schick slim twin razor and very little soap. The small head offers greater visibility. Some people even shave dry (especially “the shaft.”) Use an after shave product with aloe or for sensitive skin to avoid “bumps.” However, it is very prickly when it starts to grow out. Now I just use a beard and mustache trimmer (Philips I think) with an adjustable guard set at about 4 (out of 9 or 10). Not so short it pricks and itches, but not so long it looks like a jungle.

I’ve shave everything except my armpits, a patch of chest hair (wife loves it)and facial hair (I just can’t seem to get rid of my goat-T just yet) every 4 days. I use a luffa, moisturizing wash, shaving cream and then post shower, moisturizer cream. It’s all been going really good but, when I start shaving down below I get really nervous. So, I didn’t know if there was a safer and even more effective way of doing it ourselves. Seems like careful shaving is the consensus.
How do I ask this….do you shave the groin area between high inner thigh and dangly bag?
I shave everyday, but only do the upper half, from neck to waist one day, then the next day I shave from the waist to my toes.
I shave the groin area all around, between my legs, upper thighs, everywhere!
I use a Gillette Venus, 5-blade razor with skintimate sensitive skin shave gel which I buy in units of 6 from Amazon.
Is it just my imagination or are blades of a much poorer quality now than they used to be? It feels like I get less uses out of them before they lose their sharpness or the strips run out than with blades of old.
I’ve always used a man’s razor (currently the one with the articulated head) but do the female targetted ones like the Venus make a difference?

Hi
I used to shave, but got shaving rash. Just started using VEET hair removal cream for men… Use it once a week, my legs and areas I use it on, are so smooth…. Would recommend.. 💋
Well, I am blessed with light colored body hair, and a not too heavy beard either! I just use the cheap plastic double-blade razors that come 10 in a bag! I shave my face every day, from neck to waist one day, then waist down the next, so I never really have stubble and a non-scented lotion eliminates any razor bumps. I do leave a little landing strip down there, just to prove that I am a real ginger😉

me too teri
Me three Teri and Jackie. I shave from the face down.
use a venus razor and be very carful
oh god no polly i cant bear the thought
Ms Stephanie…
I so agree with Lisa… Veet or some such does an admirable job! It may take a wee while to judge the timing and you may experience a little discomfort if left on for too long but the results are great with no danger of drawing blood. The interesting thing with a chemical depilatory cream is that it melts the hair, leaving no sharp edges for problems with regrowth.
Otherwise… pluck up courage, open your wallet/handbag and book into a Laser Hair Removal course! You realise, of course, that these clinics serve many ‘diverse’ customers and a happy customer is a return customer! You’ll have no problems there as I have found out.Smooth, shiny Polly sends her love!
I’ve started using my IPL, and have gotten good results so far. I’ve probably used it the most on my face, and although I still need a daily shave, the shadow at the end of the day is FAR less than before. I would guess that I could now get away with being in makeup for most of the day before having to find somewhere to remove it, shave, and start over, whereas before I could only really get away with being in makeup for maybe three or four hours at most.
As far as “down there” goes, I went from using Veet to using a razor most of the time. It’s just something you have to get accustomed to, and get your skin used to it also. I’ll have to try that Dove hair conditioner and see what difference it makes.
