I find body lotion is great for getting a close shave... I will use it just after getting out of the shower, so the hair is wet and the skin is soft. I shave my pussy hair down (as in further south towards my crotch) with my razor and then I use a personal shaver to get the hair nearer to my skin, it's like... this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg I don't go completely bald, lol... but it's extremely painless, rash-free, and it's a very close shaveI usually use just body lotion, which does the trick perfectly, but maybe my skin is just not too sensible.
