ok i just started (like 5 minutes ago) shaving my pubes i think it will be easyier to take care of it(less trimming) and i was wondering how long do you wait to shave it again and will it become less itchy each time you shave it?:rolleyes:

The itch is pretty unavoidable. As for when you should do it again; whenever you feel like it needs to be redone or you think it's starting to look bad you could do it again. All up to your preference.

I avoid shaving them but i shave the ones that are away from the "pack" such as near my legs.

Everyone's different, it could take 1 week to 1 month to grow back you never know till you try. You don't become more tolerant the more you shave. But to make it less itchy, use lotion and exfoliate your pubic region every day. Also, shave with the grai, not against it.

If it's itchy you're not shaving it right.
A little itchiness is natural but not anything uncomfortable.
I do it for swimming, and I find with just shaving with the hard and only going against for the smoothness the itchiness is minimal, if it bothers me, some lotion/skin moisturizer fixes it right up. I've also got some stuff for sensitive skin from shaving my face, I use that sometimes too.
Shave again when you need too - simple as that!

I remove my hair every time I have a bath

If it's really itchy you're doing it wrong. Make sure that whether you're shaving dry or in the shower you need some sort of lubricant to prevent from getting razor burn. Being in the shower can be misleading because you're wet...but the water actually dehydrates your skin. So if you're dry use shaving cream, if you're in the shower use soap (liquid body wash work better than bar for me). Next make sure you trim as close as you can get before shaving. When you start shaving begin by going with the direction of your pubes (usually down and diagonally) then when it's really short use one hand to kind of pull your skin tight so that the tiny hairs stick up then start shaving against the grain for extra smoothness and longer time between shaves. Don't forget to reapply cream or soap frequently like after every few strokes.
As for how long to wait, it's a personal thing. But if you want to keep a constant 9yearold boy look then don't wait til it's all grown back. Wait til you get stubble that starts to be rough/pokey then shave. If you wait til it's really long again then you have to do the whole trimming with scissors first.
Finally, it helps to put lotion on after. If you have after-shaving lotion that works best. If not regular hand or body lotion works. Try to avoid using those liquid after shave balms (the ones that are basically spray cologne that you put on your face) because the alcohol in it will sting...but if you have nothing else then it's better than nothing.
Some itch is unavoidable but that's usually a few days later (depending on how fast your pubes grow).

GOD I SEE SO MANY POSTS ABOUT ITCH AFTER SHAVING. I wish I could just post a vid on here of how to do it right lol oh well :|
