I just shaved my pubic hair (all of it, but not my legs, stomach or chest) because my girlfriend was doing it so we decided to both do it. It was actually pretty easy, it didn't hurt (I have really not sensitive skin, I don't even have to use shaving cream). So it was fine and really smooth for the night after I shaved it, but now it's starting to get stubble and starting to itch. A website said that I can't shave it again for a week, but I don't think I can wait that long, it's really really itchy and it looks really weird with the stubble. Does anyone know what will happen if I shave it again tonight or later on in the week without waiting? Also any other advice to lessen the itch?
You aren't supposed to shave day after day because your skin gets irritated. If you've ever noticed, if you wait like 3 weeks before shaving it again, it's incredibly smooth. If you do it day after day, it gets red, itchy, and bumpy. It's not weird, it just means your skin is irritated from the shaving. Perfectly normal. To keep the bumps away, right after shaving put baby oil on it. Then keep lotion on it then after. The itching really isn't avoidable, but it usually only stays for a few days.

Nothing will happen if you shave tomorrow. You'll be fine=]. As for the red bumps, thats razor burn. Its from shaving in the wrong direction and not using shaving cream or soap. Even if you dont have sensitive skin, you should still use a thin layer of shaving cream or soap, either one works. When you shave, you dont want to shave the same direction you shave your legs(against the direction the hair grows), you want to shave with the direction the hair grows. So instead of shaving from the bottom(your feet) to the top(your stomach), you want to shave from the top down to the bottom. That will pretty much stop you from getting razor burn.
