I shave, I just feel nicer when it is done. I can't see over my tummy, but I've always kind of done it by touch anyway. After you shave, while you're in the shower, use a brush or a loofah or something to scrub your newly shorn skin, it helps cut down on ingrowns a lot. I also usually pat a tiny bit of light moisturizer over my skin right after, or it gets red/too dry.
