I'm sure this thread is old or somthing, but I guess I"ll just add my input. First ball shaving is real easy.. its a lot less dangerous than u think, and in my oppinion its deff less dangerous than micro cutters or scissors.. i had a Tinyyyy cut from scissors once, wasn't that bad, i'm just to nervous to ever use them on the ol' family jewels. One reason people get ingrown hairs is because u didn't exfoliate ur skin, If u do shave ur pubes, I suggest taking a damp towel and rub down there to get off the dead skin, or take a hot bath or somthing and with a washcloth or whatever do the same thing. I don't know the hard facts I just know that u do exfoliate naturally every couple days or somthing, so ur not looking for like big pealing skin like a sunburn, u prob won't be able to notice, and ingrown hair is just a hair thats trapped under the skin because it grew out the wrong way, if u don't have that dead skin layer than u are more likely for the hair to come out the right way and not cause an ingrown. I only shave my shaft because the hair goes pretty far up it, and its pretty gross, so I have to do that.. usually I'll use a micro cutter and get it as close as possible.. but its not close enough, if u shave there I think try using a sharp razor so that u don't have to go over it more than once because repeating to go over one area causes razor burn when u shave to close to the skin, and that will leave red bumps.. not to be confused with ingrowns. I think maybe to stop ingrowns would to not be to shave so close that have to regrow under ur skin and also to make sure u exfoliate after u do it. Additional creams from a store will help there are a lot of them for women for the bikini line just pick one of those up and try it out.
