Step 1: Always use a women's razor, which pivots to fit a woman's body and thus catches every hair (try Gillette Venus Embrace, $12.99, pictured here). Step 2: Three minutes into your shower, apply shaving cream (try The Art of Shaving Cream Pump, $30) for lubrication.Step 3: Gently glide the razor "up, across and down to get every hair," explains Vanoosthuyze. "Hair grows in different directions here." Pulling on the razor equals razor burn, so go softly. Always use a fresh blade that has been stored in a dry area.
Step 4: Still get irritation? Apply pre-shave oil like eShave Pre Shave Oil, $19 or olive oil before shaving cream for more protection.
