You know. Down there?

I could never get waxed but don't like to be too like Chewbacca .

Every time I do though I get big awful ingrown hairsspots. Not very nice.

Is there a secret to it?

I don't use it o take everything off just most of it. I don't think it stinks. You're not supposed to use it down there I don't think but I find it works fine

I reckon I've got this down to a fine art. You have to do it every day,though.

  1. wash all over with exfoliating mitts (the synthetic ones) and soap/shower gel - I use Dove. The exfoliating helps stop ingrowing hairs.
  2. If you're doing this in the shower, put the razor on the floor so the blade gets warm. I've found a Gillette Venus razor with several blades works best.
  3. Turn the shower off and rub hair conditioner wherever you want to shave. Don't waste expensive conditioner; I buy cheap stuff from the pound shop - the type for dry hair is best.
  4. Shave. You'll find it's easiest to shave against the direction of hair growth.
  5. Moisturise afterwards.
