What a drag. The thought was a good one - really - You just made the same mistake most people make, thinking you could use just anything for shaving the pubic area.

Whether you're a male or female, if you try shaving your pubic area with the same device you use for shaving your face, under arms or legs, it's most likely that you're going to irritate the pubic area skin. Tell the truth - You were shaving with a wet razor weren't you? Or was it your favorite triple-headed shaver you usually use for shaving your face?
