For the beginner - time for fur removal

It's time to lose the furThis task is rather simple, however it seems to be a basic (although not universal) preference and custom for submissives (as well as some dominants).This task will last for 2 weeks. Every other day (that's 7 times total) you will be required to shave your genitals in their entirety, as well as any hair around your anus. If you have access to a camera, you are to take a picture of your freshly shaved genitals each day.Your final report will include a 750-1000 word essay on your experiences, thoughts and feelings about shaving your genitals over the course of the two weeks as well as the 7 pictures (if you have a camera). If you have no camera, please make extra efforts to be descriptive in your essay.Your essay is due within 2 days after the task ends.Once the task is accepted, if you have any problems or delays please post and inform me of them.Some tips and tricks for genital shaving:~ Either sit in warm water for a few minutes or place a warm wet washcloth over your genitals to soften the hair and relax the follicles.~ If your pubic hair is long, carefully trim it with scissors to cut down on time spent shaving and wear and tear on your razor.~ Use a new razor. I tend to prefer the double or triple blades. The most important thing is that it is clean and sharp.~ You may use a non-allergenic shaving lotion or a gentle shampoo. Just make sure it is a "gentle" product.~ If you have trouble shaving in the shower or bath tub, alternatively you can just sit down on the floor of your bathroom with a towel and a mirror. The mirror is great for first timers and can lead to a better shave as you can see what you're doing. It's a matter of preference.~ Try to shave "with the grain" and make as few of strokes over one area as possible. Also, make sure to thoroughly rinse the hairs out of your razor between strokes.~ When finished, rinse with warm (not hot) water. (Hint: what feels like warm water to the rest of your body can feel hot on your shaved genitals.)~ Pat, do not rub, dry.~ To avoid razor burn apply neosporin ointment, almond oil, hypoallergenic lotion, cocoa butter, calendula cream or an aftershave. Be cautious about lotions as they may block your skin pores. If you do have ultra sensitive skin, I've heard good things about zinc oxide creams (sold for diaper rash), Desitin and Aveeno (unscented). Avoid hydrocortisone creams.~ To help with the itch caused by the growing hair, apply a light hypoallergenic lotion when itching flares up.If you have any questions or concerns please ask or let me know.
