I'm a huge fan of neatly trimming. I found that the razors made for shaving the bikini area give me greater control of keeping everything straight. I also learned the hard way, never ever to shave in the shower, since I was lopsided, and that wasn't attractive. If I want to stave off those oh so wonderful razor bumps, I use a bikini cream that isn't that bad and leave it smooth for weeks. If not, then I'm loving bikini zone, since it takes away the itchies and the red bumps
