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.

No! Absolutely NEVER use Nair! That stuff has given me minor chemical burn on countless occasions (thankfully, I had only used it on my legs.) Trust me, chemical burn sucks SO much more than razor burn.

I agree. Shaving is much, much safer than Nair, and the risks with Nair are just too high. That stuff can really mess your skin up.

I've never had an issue with Nair or Veet and my skin is really sensitive.

Mind me asking what happened to you?

Does it really? I've never had a problem with Nair or Veet at all, and my skin is ridiculously sensitive. To the point where most things will at least cause me to break out in hives, if not get serious chemical burns.

What happened to you?

My skin got burned -- it was really sore and itchy. I had these small red bumps (not hives, just irritation.)
