ok, to all those people getting razor rash or bumps or irritation or whatever... let me state my view on this.

i tried out shaving down there (just like leaving a strip) a few years ago but i found that i broke out into a serious case of bumps and irritation and ingrown hairs were coming out wherever they could.
so i stopped doing it and let my hair regrow.

recently i decided i would do it again. now take in mind i am a fairly hairy person. i have far more hair all over my body than a lot of females do. it's just something in my genes.
so i tried it again. i trimmed first with some scissors, because well, i don't have a trimmer and it's just easier that way. i used a brand new razor with my trusty shaving gel. it's for sensitive skin and helps guard against cuts and things.
but alas, i wound up with the same problem. bumps everywhere and dear god did i itch. and then the ingrown hairs came.

i was now frustrated again because this is all for a suprise for my guy. he has no idea i'm doing it but i think he'll really enjoy it. so, since we're supposed to get together again soon, i decided to let it grow out some again this past week so the irritation would go down.
i then asked one of my friends if it would be wise to shave with an electric razor down there. (she hates hair and shaves everything but her head). and she didn't have an objection to it.
so i got out my trusty electric razor which i haven't used in years. it's a lady remington from back in like 1991. ya know, the kind that probably couldn't cut a piece of paper if it wanted to.
and then, BEFORE i got into the shower (cause electric shaving with somewhat damp skin is hard...) i shaved the areas i wanted to test out. and i will say, that i did that wed night, i did that last night and i have yet to break out in bumps or have any kind of razor burn or irritation.
after i was done with my shower, making sure to scrub down there to get off any kind of dead skin and whatnot, i put some lotion with aloe on and it's kept it pretty smooth.

so if you're having problems with breaking out or whatever, try an electrice shaver. some of the newer ones can cut you a bit if you're not careful, so if you have an older one, i suggest that.
no, electric razors won't make all your hair go away, it will leave a tiny bit of stubble, but it's really not all that noticable. if you can run your hand over it without really noticing, i don't find it a big deal.

i also hear those new microtrimmers work good too. i found one at walmart today and bought it and i will test it out tonight.

hope this helps some of you.
