How To Shave Your Body, Part 1 Of 2

Personal Shavers and trimmers have been becoming more and more sophisticated, allowing for easier use, better hair removal and all of this in the comfort of your home. A lot of shavers out there only talk about hair removal on the pubic area, but they can be used on the full body as well. The main word of advice is take it slow, do allow some time to go slowly and safely to get all the hair you want removed, especially the first time

Each section of body hair grows in its own direction; the second word of advice is to always cut in the direction of the hair growth. This will help the re-growth come in fine and help prevent ingrown hairs. Always make sure your skin is dry. It is better to do this before a shower or later in the day if you’ve had a shower, and if you notice any dampness, use a bit of powder to absorb what moisture is there. It is also essential to use powder before the finisher, as this ensures the stubble is sticking up and keeps the skin dry.

The first time using a personal shaver, you will have to use the trimmer to get long hairs down to stubble. Once this has been done, you can use just the finisher as part of your daily grooming.

Genitals: Since this is the number one reason people buy personal shavers, we’ll start here. The hair that grows down there, pubes, bush, and pubic hair are some of the terms used to describe hair found on your genitals. For shaving the pubic area, most people get scared due to how sensitive it is. With personal shavers and trimmers, there is piece of mind, as these are only meant to cut the hair, not the skin. As long as you take it slowly, pulling the skin taut for a more even surface, you will have silky smooth skin.

For the female pubic areas, the hair grows in several different ways. You should divide the trimming into sections: pubis mound, one side of the labia, the other side and then the inner labia. As this is usually a very damp area, wipe with a cloth to dry up moisture and use some powder to get any left over dampness. This will ensure a more even trim.

For male pubic areas: Again, the skin needs to be dry, so add a little powder to the hair you are trimming. Break the trimming into sections: pubic base, groin area, top of shaft, under the shaft and each testicle. It is very important to keep the skin pulled tight. As the hair doesn’t grow the same directions, you will sometimes be trimming individual hairs instead of sections. Go slowly.

The bum is another area that women don’t to admit to having hair on, and men have it everywhere. You may have to use a Mirror unless you have a partner who is willing to help. For women it is usually a patch that is around the bum, easily trimmed and shaved (following the above instructions). For the men, it is best to break it down into sections. As you get nearer the inner bum, take once side at a time, pulling the skin as taut as possible.

After the hair has been trimmed down to stubble, the next step is using a foiled finishing shaver. Using a circular motion, pull the skin taut across all the sections. Use only light pressure, as this will help the finisher work the best.
