I really want to start waxing just for the ease of it, but for now I'm stuck with shaving because I'm broke. I don't tend to get rashes when I'm only doing it once a week but I always have to leave at least 3 days, preferably 4, between shaves otherwise it does get sore and rashy. At the moment I don't intend to see clients very often, no more than once or twice a fortnight, but it would be great to be able to schedule when I want and not have to think about my shaving routine too much.
I read somewhere once that if you persist with shaving down there every day, the skin 'toughens up'. But it just hurts so much on day 1-2 I'm not sure I can hack it

if there is truth in this then I'll persist with it but I don't want to destroy my foof in the meantime.
Has anyone got any tips to make shaving less irritating so I can do it more often? I use a sharp blade and i moisturise etc, I can't do the shaving in the direction of the hair thing though, it just doesn't work at all. I have greek heritage and as a result my pubes are rather thick, dark and unruly if left to their own devices
