I want to be able to shave my pubic hair as soon as the hair begins to grow back but it hurts and the razor nics me. I have to wait till the hair gets longer before I can shave again. How can shave only stubs?

First of all, if you insist on shaving "down there" you have to wait for the hair to grow out a little. Your skin is more sensitive in that region than with your legs. I have the same problem when shaving down there. You'd have to wait for the hair to grow out when you wax or use creams intended for hair removal as well. Your best bet, is to let the hair do what it's meant to do. Let it grow a little and then shave.
Always make sure you exfoliate with a warm rag or loofah and soap. Warm water will make your pores open up, whereas cold water will do the opposite. Warm water will alow the hair to be shaven with more ease. Make sure you always use a blade that hasn't dulled and you use shaving cream intended for more sensitive areas.

The reason why it hurts is because your skin loses moisture when you shave. Also a razor can only shave so much before it starts to pull skin cells away as well. You should wait until they are at least long enough for the razor to get to it.
The more you do it when the hair is shorter - the more your skin can dry out, become red and sore and even bleed. Use a moisturiser after every shave. The reason a razor will not take out stubs is because the hair is too short to be shaved off....you have to let it grow for it to shave off.
If you dont want to wait, the only other way is to wax. Waxing takes out the whole hair follicle and it can slow down the growth process. Shaving doesnt do that - it only takes the hair off the surface of the skin.

Try not to shave against the hair growth. Shave with the growth and you will have less irritation as the hair grows back in. Or you could try waxing or a product like neet. If you wait till the hair grows back you will have the same problem you are having now.

Don't shave. Your hair follicle is thick that's the reason why your feeling that way. I had the same problem until I just stopped and trim it down with a nice wax. From what I've heard, over time it wouldn't be as bad but you'll have to suffer in the mean time.

The best thing to get, is called "Magic Shaving Powder". It is a shaving powder usually for african americans and works very very well (speaking from personal experience here). I found mine at CVS, and I'm sure they are available at any CVS, Rite Aid, or Walgreens.
You mix it up with some water into a paste, slather it on your pubes, wait 5-7 minutes, then wipe it off.

make sure the razor is sharp. use heat and use a shaving lotion . you can also try using ice to close the pores and numb the area. if shaving gets to be too much there are hair removal creams and waxing. if you can afford it you could probably get it done by laser. good luck

It purely looks like shaving rash because of the fact the subject will in all likelihood be offended, once you having been shaving it for a on the same time as this might likely finally pass away coz it happened to me. possibly inspect a like minded cooling lotion to place on the subject to renounce it being so sore and itchy, additionally some thing to do is exfoliate the subject each and each 2-3 days to circumvent any ingrown hairs.

Try some other hair removal method, which may be more suitable.

I did at first but I learned this trick: shaving cream helps out BIG TIME.
Hope this works for U.
