How does shaving work??

Maybe this should be on the Sex topic. Sorry if so.

I'm trying to reduce my spending and not heading off for a wax was part of that.

If you shave your bikini area, how exactly?? With a mirror on a stand? Sitting over it? I was just in the bath stabbing around my nethers with a nervous hand. I've got most of it but really worried about cutting my delicates.

To start with I sat on the edge of the bath and had a well placed mirror. Super slow and careful as a beginner. 😁
Once you've had some practice you can whizz round it without looking and various positions. 👌

Do you shave your armpits? It's a bit like that

PermanentTemporary · 12/01/2023 20:29

But I can (mostly) see my armpits, or just look into a mirror while I'm standing in a shower, my entire armpit points in one direction...

Have you considered hair remover cream? I don't know how it would compare to the cost of a salon wax but you can do it by feel and if you accidentally get some where you don't want it, the situation is fixed by quickly wiping it off.

Can I butt in and ask what you all shave your nether regions with? I'm getting the most irritating shaving rash post shave, regardless of whether I use an electric razor or a ladies razor

This is just the sort of thing some weirdo could be getting off on.

Yes, reported on the basis it sounds like a perv.

Never managed it without horrendous bumps and ingrown hairs.

Me too.

Get an electric/battery operated bikini trimmer. I just use it on the lowest setting, so not bare but nice and neat.

🙄 As if you can't work this out yourself. Stabbing around ? As if .

PermanentTemporary · 13/01/2023 05:26

No I can't work it out for myself and no I'm not a perv. God's sake. I've asked an anonymous forum how to deal with something I don't understand and nobody talks about. As I did it I was thinking how nice it was that having been on this place since 2004 that there's somewhere to ask these questions that I'm too embarrassed to ask friends.

Never mind. I've extended my overdraft and ill go back to the salon.

I'm pretty sure you could work it out if you gave it a go

You're going into debt so that you can have a bald fanny?

And they say satire is dead.

@PermanentTemporary there are a few threads on this in the sex board. The Nair sensitive hair removal cream is very good.
