a razor leaves razor burns, an electric shaver isnt close enough, and my skin is too sensitive to wax........

The best way I have found is to do it in the bath tub.
Cut all the excess hair off first with manicure scissors.
Then soak in the tub for about 10 minutes.
Get a FOUR blade razor, lather up and shave against the hair, (it is closer) It also helps to pull the skin that you are shaving tight.
The biggest help is to use bikini bare lotion (comes in a tube in the shaving section) and put it on your cooch directly after. Go without panties for about 20 minutes and let that sucker air out.
If you have no bikini bare, use alcohol (just on the mound, don't get it near your lips cause it will burn) and slap it on there like aftershave. This seals it and helps with ingrown hairs or bumps. If you have trouble with razor burn put a little vaseline on yourself before you shave after soaking for a little bit. Get out of the tub, sit on the ledge, put on some vaseline and sit for a minute, then use shaving cream on top of it and shave. If the alcohol and bikini bare is too strong, cold water splashed on it and a little witch hazel applied with a cotton ball also works well (keep the witch hazel in fridge for a nice cool sensation).
COMMON SENSE TIP* when doing it in the bathtub tap all the hair you shave into a bowl of warm water, not into the bathwater (gross!) or you will get covered in hair.
That is how I have done it for years and I have a nice smooth cooch with no bumps or unsightly burn.
Hope this helps.

try a shaving gel, like Edge gel w/aloe, and shave with the grain of the hair. try only shaving around the lips and underarriage area, since the upper part is what gets the most itch and razor burn, and it's really only the lower part that needs to be shaved for good oral sex.
I don't believe your skin is too sensitive for waxing, just take a few advil, and go have it done sometime. You should try it atleast once in your life, just like shaving, so you atleast know what your missing. Waxing doesn't leave any burn and the hair grows in with a fine tip, so it's really soft. It keeps you from having to shave every or every other day also.

The best way I know is not to shave it, but to trim the hair short with some small sizzors for percision and gently shave the bikini area with some moisturiser. Shaving was great the first day but day two and three I thought I was going to die because when the hair grew out it felt like I had steel wool in my underwear it itched and prickled so much. Never again!

Try a good shave cream with moisturizer and buy a razor for black skin it doesn't touch the skin as much but still gives a close shave.

Be good to yourself and don't!!! I never found a painless way to do it. I ended up keeping the hair short and putting conditioner on it. If he wants you to..Tell him to shave his off so he knows how unpleasant the regrowth process is....

get a face wash or something with those exfoliating beads and wash yourself down there with it. it will get rid of the dead skin that creates ingrown hairs. then moisturize afterwards

you can try nair, just be careful not to get it near the opening. another thing i do is buy the bump stopper for men. that stuff really works.
