Just for my own curiousity here- with shaving, isn't it itchy?
I find if you use a crap razor, and don't exfoliate properly, then yes, it does get itchy and prone to awful ingrown hairs. But using a good-quality razor (eg a Gilette Venus or something with multiple blades vs those Bic disposable one-bladers) and lathering with shower gel/body wash instead of shaving cream (a lot of shaving creams dry my skin out anyway, I don't know about anybody else) goes a long, long way towards keeping things comfy... and for the first week or so when it's growing back through the skin, I give everything a good hard scrub with my loofah to help the hairs break through the skin so they don't get ingrown...

Lol sorry if that's tmi!! But no, I don't usually have a problem with itching and ingrowns - it only gets itchy if I leave it too long and it gets a bit feral down there lol
