Re: Shave clean what do you use?
Nicks are caused by resistence to the blade. Resistence changes the pitch relation of blade to skin in the middle of the stroke. That nearly unnoticible loss of control is enough to cut you.
#1 problem, of course, is a dull blade. Don't be cheap. Use a new one. The skin on your face is almost always exposed to the elements. The skin on your nether regions isn't anywhere near that tough. A dull blade pulls the hair & that pulls the skin, changing the pitch. You want the blade to glide over the skin, & that won't happen if you have to exert more pressure.
#2 problem is shaving against the grain. Resistence again. You'd think that getting under the hair before the cut would make for a closer shave, but it doesn't. Especially with modern multi-blade razors. Shaving with the grain slices the hair. (like whittling a stick at an angle) Shaving against the grain chops at the hair. (like taking the same knife & trying to cut that same stick straight in half) You end up yanking on the hair. This is also the chief cause of those little bumps, especially if you have a dull blade. It stresses the folicle. You're literally pulling the hair out by the roots, except you left enough in there to make sure it inflames.
Minimize resistence & you minimize the chances of drawing blood. A good lubricant helps too. If you like to look at what you're doing, ditch the foamy shaving cream in favor of a personal lubricant (like KY...). Personally, I don't look & I still prefer the lube. & that brings up one last point. Trust your touch sense, even more that your eyes. It's your body. You know exactly where everythiong is, & what's happening at the spot you're working on.
Careful not to "bobbitize" yourself. Hope she likes it.
Re: Shave clean what do you use?
the lube is a good suggestion. It stays longer...
Re: Shave clean what do you use?
I usually use Nair, butt sometimes I'll use a razor.

How did that work out? Do you get any re-growth?
How many sessions does it take to laser all of the pubic hair? How long from beginning process to final? Approx cost?
Re: Shave clean what do you use?
I hear Nair works really well. And like Dino says, it burns like a motherfucker. Haven't tried it (I usually clip & shave), but I'm sick of the nicks and irritations. Please report back if you go the Nair route.

Thanks for the info everything you said I already know. Also as an African american man my hair comes up as 9 ether curl not 6 ether as with Caucasians. I use clippers I dare not use razors on myself and it's really not good for African american people skin to use razors. Just thought I would throw that out there.
I'm looking for a cream that I can put on then wash off then the hairs are gone, without bad smell on burning sensation.

I get a lot of puss around the genitals and I bleed a bit from the taint. My asshole is so leathery from spicy food it's immune to the intense burning. :cheers:

Ummm I don't know about the nair route. I agree with you tired of the nicks, my clippers work fine but when I want to shave my balls it get nicked everytime. I can't stand that. I wanna be bald like the chick in my avatar, she looks fuckng sexy!
