first-time shaving help

[empressofstars.livejournal.com]

So i really need to shave my pubic hair, not even a lot of it just some of it so it doesnt come out of my underwear and wahtnot because i have to wear udnerwear on stage. and i have really sensitive skin and really a lot of long hair and whatnot. and im at college, so theres no privacy and no bathtub, only standing showers. and i need to shave only a little bit, like, the stuff thats on my thighs but i never have before and i am freaking out. and i took a warm shower and started to try adn trim but my scissors got dull really quickly and i dont have any others and i feel really scraed and alone and really stupid because this is freaking me out so much and i'm crying and i dont know what to do or how to do this and i'm sorry i sound so panicked and this is so run-on but im really upset. please help me.

Shave in a warm shower (if possible) and whatever you do, don't shave against the grain. I shave in the opposite direction to my thighs, starting with the outer edges where my tights end -- so, I shave sideways, kinda. If trimming helps you, maybe do that in a bathroom stall for more privacy. Use plenty of shaving gel and let it sit for a while. After you're done, put some deodarant on the area you shaved -- for some reason people have never really heard about it, but it works really well to prevent irritation, etc.

Oh, also, don't go over a single area more than twice with a razor blade, as you can really irritate it.

thighs* not tights, heh.

I don't recommend doing it outside the shower, as it's a great deal more tedious that way; but to each his own.
