A good soak in the bath or shower first.
Then nicely lathered up.
Shave with the flow of hair down and not against the direction of the hair up.
It's tempting to shave up against the direction of hair to make it super smooth but this shaves too close to your skin and makes you sore. (This is the problem with Mach 5, muktiblade razors etc)
Just shave down and it should be ok.
It might initially not feel as clean close a shave but you will be fine. 
It will look fine, no one will notice and hopefully more importantly less irritation. |

Use hair conditioner first to soften the hair and a gentle, non perfumed moisturiser after. It helps. Or waxing??? Might be a little uncomfortable to start but you will be hair free for weeks. |

Another couple once suggested almond oil on another forum. I have since tried it, and I would suggest it to anyone. It turns out very smooth, and I had no razor burn

Can i just say most razors and shaving products should be fine - If your getting razor rash or should i say Razor Burn its the water that's making the blade hot and burning you as you shave - cooler water no Razor burn. |

"Can anyone recommend the appropriate product for removing hair from sensitive areas. I've tried shaving, very and other hair removal products but all end up making me sore"
Gillette fusion razor and gel, not the cheapest but does the job brilliantly  |

Bath soak, Somersets shaving oil (sold in Sainsburys) a good gents razor - Gillette Fusion or a Proglide, take your time and Voila !
Powder after first shave, moisturise before next shave and that should prevent soreness. I use this method, and it gets me by without soreness or itching, even after gym etc |

Preparation before shaving is key. Trim if you can before shaving.
A soak in a warm bath will help to soften the hair and open the follicules.
Use a good quality shaving brush with a good quality shaving cream to work up a rich lather. The brush will help lift up the hairs making it easier to shave. A good quality shaving cream will allow a blade to glide over the skin.
Now here is the important bit. Only use a single blade razor. Multiple bladed razors can cause irritation despite what they say on TV. They work for some people but not all.
If your other half can use one, a cut throat always gives the best shave.
When shaving always pull the skin tight and never shave against the grain. This will stop any little nicks and help the blade cut better.
Once finished make sure you moisturise the area. |

Some excellent tips here - I use a Sensitive Gel and Fusion, followed by Alo Vera - seems t do trick for me, but might try some others mentioned here - always happy to lean new things |

Fantastic advice.
Invest in a good quality single blade razor, replacement blades are very cheap in price.
And a good brush and cream.
They will pay for themselves quickly (much better than the multiblade packs)
And the quality of shaving is so much better.
Both facially and down below.
I used to get a lot of in growing hairs but since swapping nothing. |

I epilate so my hair doesn't come through as often. Only needs to be a few mm to rip it out.
I find using a good razor (which isn't cheap) works - I tend to used Gillette Venus blades. There are some good gels for sensitivity- is there a particular chemical you're adverse to? I have recently seen people suggest coconut or almond oil instead of gel. I'm definitely going to try it as I can shave every day as it's sore and I get a shaving rash 
As others have said a nice hot bath will open your pores and make it less sore/uncomfortable to shave

I've never got on with using a blade.
I trim first, then I absolutely swear by my Seiko Cleancut. It's a dry shaver, use baby powder to "lubricate". You absolutely cannot cut yourself.
It's a shame that the original one isn't made or for sale any more, but there are plenty of copies out there (can't say what they are like though, cos mine is still going strong after nearly a decade!) |
