It’s really easier than you think. The key is plenty of water, a moisturizing shave cream and a 5-blade razor. I shave weekly. Fortunately I’m not particularly hairy, so I only have to shave down there weekly. If we lived close enough to each other, I’d be happy to show you how easy it is.
I recommend to first timers to take a warm bath, use a little bubble bath or shampoo in the water, soak for a few minutes then get on your knees in the tub and shave. Always go with the grain and go slowly, rinsing the blade often to prevent it getting clogged. Pat dry and use witch hazel to calm the skin.
