I have super sensitive skin, and I am trying to find a way to shave down their without as much irritation. I have a super hard time. Any suggestions?

I get waxed as often as possible but usually end up having to cancel my appointment as I can't stand to let it grow for more than a few days!
Then you may want to look into laser hair removal. According to fellow Litizens who've had it done, it's cheaper in the long run than waxing, and makes for permanent results. Even if you quit before reaching the end of the treatment, hair regrowth is significantly diminished after each session.

I'm EXACTLY the same way!I've tried many of the suggestions that are in the blank manual and I always end up with an irritating, bumping rash.
I've learned that I can shave my vaginal lips with no irritation, so that stays nice and smooth with a regular razor.
The area directly above, I guess where the "landing strip" would be, is the part that I absolutely cannot shave. So, I leave a trimmed patch of hair. I have a great body hair trimmer that works pretty darn well. It's marketed for men but I bought it and it works great. It's the Philips Norelco BodyGroom.
I take off the guard completely to trim up close to the patch. I use the side with the mesh covering to get the rest of "top" part.
I think as long as the lips are smooth and not stubbly, most men (men who like it shaved) would be happy.

The shaving routine definitely makes a difference. I use a Schick Quattro Power razor, King of Shaves gel and shave at the end of my shower, rinsing every couple of strokes, AFTER I've let the water run over the area and exfoliated the skin (exfoliation is critical to preventing ingrown hairs and razor burn).
If I think I might have some irritation, I put on some hydrocortisone cream when I get out of the shower. I also don't wear panties that are really tight or synthetic most of the time, and use laundry products that don't irritate my skin.
After a few weeks of shaving daily or every other day, the skin adjusts.
I've never had an ingrown hair or any other problems using this routine. If I use the wrong razor, shaving product or shave without the skin being warm and exfoliated, it's irritation city!
Sweet E - I hope you don't mind a nosy question. What do you use for exfoliation? I have one of those back scrubber brushes, but dislike the feeling of it in that area - . Any product endorsements -?
Does the waxing hurt less when you have it done rather than doing it yourself? I had a horrible time doing it myself!
I usually just shave, it's easy and does not hurt.
