I have very strong and very dark hair growth and to keep it smooth I really do need to shave every day. I first shaved in February and have tried various things since then. I tried home waxing but found it too difficult.
Best thing I have found is an electric shaver called Seiko Cleancut which was apparently intended for the face but now sells more for pubic shaving. It will only shave very short stubble so is good for daily shaving and works better with a light dusting of talc. Also works well on underarms.
If I haven't shaved for a couple of days the Cleancut can't cope with it so I soak in the bath for ten minutes then, sitting on the side of the bath and using a mirror, I shave using a regular ladies razor and a shave gel that contains aloe. I have searched the internet for advice on this and the advice that is out there seems to be correct. Use a new blade. Shave in the direction of hair growth. Don't repeatedly shave the same area, try for one sweep. When you have shaved as much as you can like this, if there are stubborn areas remaining then shave against the growth. That should give a nice smooth finish.
Since doing it this way the results have been good and bumps, itching minimal. I think for me the key is the soak in the bath to soften it all and shaving in the right direction.
After shaving I pat dry (rather than rub) and use a product called Cool Ya which is sold to use after waxing but works well after shaving too. I am interested in the deodorant idea and will definitely give that a try.
Personally I like to be completely bald but if not then definitely closely trimmed. Naturally mine is a bit of a jungle and I hate it.
As far as guys go, I like them bald but its not such a big deal to me.
Someone earlier said that they had never been taught to trim. I wonder if anyone has. It was a subject never discussed with my mother. However my 13 year old daughter was moaning about hating her pubic hair so I bought her a trimmer and explained how to use it. She was absolutely stunned and asked if it was ok for her to do that. I told her "it's yours and you decide what you want to do with it". She now trims regularly.
