first-time shaving help

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.

I'd suggest skipping the whole shower approach. Get a couple or three towels, a basin of warm water and a washcloth, a nice new safety razor, and a thing of shaving cream. Hole up in your dorm room with the door locked. Apply nice warm water to the area with the washcloth, let it soak a bit so that the hair is soft. Then apply shaving cream and shave in, very easy and slow, from the outside to where you need the edge to be. Just take your time and remember that in 20 years this will be a funny story.
