ok well...dont u really have to be skilled to shave pubic hair? i mean girls dont really make it a big deal cause if i ever wore a bikini, i dont really wanna...um..get cut? cause that would suck..any thoughts?
When you do it, start by taking a shower or warm bath. This softens and smooths the skin, making the razor slide across it more easily.
Use a new, sharp razor. This is not the place to save money. I use a Gillette Mach 3 and change the blade frequently. Disposable plastic razors are insufficiently sharp and will cause ingrown hairs.
Use a shaving cream for sensitive skin.
Lather up good, and go to work. Pull the razor slowly and let it glide across the skin - don't exert pressure. When you do it for the first time, don't try to get every last hair; that will necessitate dragging the razor across the skin several times, which will make it raw.
When finished, clean thoroughly, and (this is important) apply a thin layer of Neosporin antibacterial ointment. This will prevent razor burn better than anything else I've ever seen.
Curiously, I find that sensitivity is at the maximum the day after shaving. Plan accordingly! ;)
Once you've shaved, it's best to keep doing it, or you'll start to get stubble which is a major itch. I find that if I shave again every four to five days, it keeps it under control. Every day is too much. [ Xenolan's advice column | Ask Xenolan A Question ]

anyways, if you are scared/nervous, you could always try nair/veet, because thats just hair removal in cream form, so you cant get cut
