First time shaving...
Rather than make one huge post on my shaving experiences, I'll break it up into a couple / few. This one is about the first time we shaved...
I had mentioned the subject of shaving to Milady some time after we were married, I had heard that it could be a stimulant for the sex life- like discovering sex all over again because of the new sensations.
Well, she wasn't game, but we did manage to compromise with the occasional trimming (made skillful use of tongue much easier :-P
Then when her sister was visiting somehow they were talking and sis mentioned she shaves it all. That seems to have got her thinking, because after sis left, she was willing to try. (For my birthday) I was excited, to say the least...
We went and got lady's shaving gel, and a Venus razor. She trimmed with scissors first and then went with the razor for the main bush. While she was doing that in the bathtub, I used my electric shaver / beard trimmer for removing most the long & curlys while on the toilet.
All in all, she really hated being shaved the first time. I got to do the 'underside' part she couldn't reach. While I enjoyed the time, she never seemed to. Constant fear of being cut in an area that would not enjoy being cut, I believe.
When she was finished, I shaved myself. It took quite a while to get all the hairs on the sack and shaft and the underside. Lots and lots of shaving cream. Being very, very careful.
Since I always used an electric shaver for my face, I didn't have much of a feel for blade shaving. I tried using the electric shaver once I dried off to clean up a few areas, but I really didn't like it. It's a Braun foil/shaver head, not the 3 circle kind.
I really liked the results of the shave. Only a couple nicks that didn't hurt at all, and the most amazing smoothness I'd ever felt. As a circumsized guy, I have a somewhat hairy shaft, more so than I'd like, and now to have the smoothness... Very nice.
She preferred lotion, I used our Pjur Eros lube for aftershave. I really like that stuff. It's expensive, but worth it.
If I had found this wonderfully informative 18 page thread before the fact, I'm not sure I would have done anything differently. I think I had the right razor, right shaving cream, and right attitude. But it has been really nice to see other experiences and suggestions. I will likely try a few of them...
