Ladies,
I like to keep myself pretty much "hair free".....sometimes I use the clippers and go all off, however, I LOVE the feeling of "as perfectly smooth as possible". But, at the cost of razor burn/bumps. How do you women approach this matter? What are your tricks and tips to help eliminate the bumps and burns? How do you get perfectly smooth?

Shave with the grain, never against it. Rinse with cold water afterward to close the pores. Pat dry and apply baby powder to prevent irritation.
A couple of tips.
Cut as much hair off before you shave.
Make sure you use a sharp razor, I never use disposible razors.
Shave in the shower or at least make sure the area is very wet, warm water is best.
Use shaving cream, not soap. Make sure the area is completely covered.
Pull the skin tight when shaving and take small strokes rinsing off the blades after each stroke.
After you finish, rinse with cold water
I also shave every few days. It is much easier when there is very little growth
AND OF COURSE BE VERY CAREFUL AROUND THE MORE SENISTIVE AREAS!!
Never try and shave stubble, the hairs are too thick. The hair should be at least half a cm long.
I use an exfoliating wash whch lathers up to shave with as it softens the skin and the hairs making them easier to shave.
Make sure the whole area is wet and well lathered and pull the skin tight when you do it.
Moisturise afterwards
Well my measurements may not be exact just as long as its not stubbley!
