[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.

Everybody I know who uses a single-blade razor gets a closer shave with it, and I never have to make more than one pass over an area. It's true that it's easier to cut yourself, but if you're careful, you won't cut yourself. I've never cut myself down there, and I've shaved my vulva a lot.

I have scars on my calves, knees, and ankles that suggest that one can be exceptionally careful while shaving and still draw blood with a single blade razor (while still leaving stubble, strangely enough). I'd never dare to try one on my own vulva, but I suspect this may be something that varies by individual. If it works for you, it's fabulous. If not, however, it might be worth trying something different.
