Will shaving give me ingrown hairs or red bumps?
An ingrown hair occurs when the end of a hair gets trapped underneath the skin, resulting in a little red bump. Ingrown hairs are caused by numerous factors, which is why some women might have a higher likelihood of getting ingrown hairs from shaving than others. There are a few tips to help reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs when shaving. First is exfoliation. Use either a brush or exfoliation soap on your skin to remove any obstructions to a hair’s growth. Second is to ensure your skin is hydrated by having a warm shower or bath. Last, use a razor with more than three blades and a shave prep, this way fewer strokes are needed.

Can I use Venus razors on my bikini line?
Yes, Venus’ razors can be used on your bikini line. For optimal results, it is recommended to first trim the area with some scissors or a hair trimmer. Then, in a warm shower or bath, apply shaving cream and use a razor with more than three blades to shave the area. Make sure to use a moisturizer when done to keep your skin hydrated.

What direction should I shave in?
The shaving direction depends on the body area due to the way the hair grows. For underarms, it is best to shave from all angles (up, down, and sideways). For legs, it is best to start at the ankle and move upwards. Finally, for the bikini area, first shave in the direction of the hair’s growth (inward) and then against for an extra close shave.
