haha i had the sameee problem when i first started shaving. i'm guessing you're talking about your legs? well it's pretttty simple.

first it's a good idea to use warm water which will open up your pores. then use either shaving cream or soap to make your legs smoother to shave. take the razor and then start from the bottom and work your way up. (haha, you're probably thinking like, "yeah i know that but how exactly!?" but it pretty much comes naturally, you'll know what i mean when you do it) be careful especially around your knees and ankles, you're more likely to cut yourself there. if you do cut yourself it willl bleed a lot but that's what bandaids are for :) once you're done rinse off your legs and dry them. it's probably a good idea to put on a moisturizing lotion, and you're doneeee.

good luck hope i helpedd<3

hey

it depends on which body part you are shaving.

legs: turn off the shower water so you don't waste it & so that it doesn't wash off all your shaving cream. apply a thick, even layer of shaving cream on one leg. put the razor blade in the opposite direction of hair growth, which is down. so make the blades facing you. and pull up. no, it doesn't hurt at all if you do it correctly. it will hurt if you don't use shaving cream properly & get cuts. however, they will heal in a few days with a little savlon / neosporin. wash off all the shaving cream & hairs. after each stroke (once up to your knee) wash the blade. & again (continue the rest of the way up your leg) and wash the blade to avoid cloggage in the blade so you don't get nicks.

armpits: you don't need shaving cream for this cause you want a close shave. under running water, lift one arm up and go in the opposite direction of hair growth. for me, the hairs grow upward, so i run the razor blade from the top of my arpit towards my rib cage. i do this several times to ensure that i got every hair. i do this for both armpits.

bikini line / vagina: okay. this is the tricky one. if you want to shave your bikini line, just spread your legs & you don't have to put shaving cream, just run your razorblade in the opposite direction of hair growth. some people wax this area. i shave. vagina - now, you have lots of freedom for this because everyone is different. i prefer starting out going sideways & then going in the opposite direction of hairgrowth. many girls complain that they get cuts while going in the opposite direction. so i always put a little shaving cream on the top part (not in my vagina) so i avoid cuts. you should begin going in the same direction of hair growth & decide if that's as close a shave as you want, or if you want to go sideways. most females prefer sideways cause you don't get cuts & because you get a reasonably close shave. however, i prefer going in the opposite direction. make sure you wash out all the hairs so that they don't get stuck in there. i have to admit, if you shave in the opposite direction, it could hurt a bit. but barely. not as bad as waxing the bikinis areaa :]
