how to shave?

Okay, so I shaved completely, once, well actually twice. Then I got BV. I used some bikini shaving gel. I thought I was careful not to get it inside, but maybe it was a coincidence. Anyway, I let it grow back. Maybe I did it wrong. What should I use and which way should I angle the razor? Toward my leg or toward the inside or down toward my toes or up toward my stomach? I still felt prickely when I was done. I can barely see what I'm doing. I end up pulling and pushing and I'm thinking there has got to be an easier way. Then I got bumps and I'm just thinking "Is it worth it?" But I think I would really like it better if I could figure out a better technique. And since I read here that lots of people have been doing this I figured you guys had all the kinks worked out and could give me some pointers.

Another question. He shaves the base of his penis. It is something he does for himself. He is self-conscious about it. I told him it's fine, but if he's more comfortable shaving, then fine. My question is would his hair irritate the inside of my vagina? There was one day that he had shaved the day before and sex was painful, a little. He thought it might be the tiny stubble. I do think that i had another BV, which is being addressed, so could it have been that? We've been together 2 years and I don't know if he'd always shaved right before sex or when. If he didn't shave at all would the hair be an irritation? I know everyone is different and I may be more sensitive than others, but I was just wanting some input.

thanks

To the ladies who shave...any ways to minimize the itch when it grows back? Our 2 yr anniversary is coming up, and I'd really like to clean it up a bit for him...I used to do it, but the itching that occurs days after is just too much for me. Any advice?

Thanks,
