Newf Brand Notes

Everybody lately seems to be jumping on the pubic hair grooming bandwagon and you shouldn’t be any excepetion! If you’re looking for some fun shapes and designs to shave into your mound, you’ve come to the right place! We’ve got all the instructions you need here, please you can find over 80 templates to download right here.

How to Do It
Most people suggest using a rechargeable or electric personal shaver to obtain the pattern you want in your pubic patch, but if you use a small razor, have a steady hand and take the extra time, you can accomplish good results with wet shaving, too, which is what we will focus on here.

We recommend using a product such as Venereous Shaving Oil and/or Venereous Shaving Jelly because these products allow you to see all the hairs you’ll be working on and you won’t need to balance a template on top of a glob of shaving foam. With these Venereous products you can even use a marker to draw around the template onto your skin which also means you won’t need an extra pair or hands to hold the template in place (although that certainly could make it a lot more fun!)

Our templates are provided in several different sizes for your own satisfaction. Not every patch of hair is the same so we hope you find a style and size that you are happy with.

Once you’ve found the shape you want, print out the page, cut out the desired image and you’re ready to go. Print the pattern on a piece of card stock if you can, or paste it onto heavier paper and then cut the shape out. The main advantage of the heavier paper is that it will be easier to hold in place and work around when you start shaving around it.

Whether this is your first time shaving or your fiftieth, you’ll probably want to trim the area first with scissors to even out your pubic hair. This not only makes it easier to lay the template over but it will also give you a more pronounced design when you’re finished.

Once you’ve trimmed the area, spread on a layer of Venereous Shaving Oil and/or Venereous Shaving Jelly and then place the template on your mound. At this point you’ll want an extra pair of hands or a mirror…or both! This will help you line up the shape on your body to make sure you have just the right placement. If you want to use a marker to trace the template instead of holding the design in place for the duration of the shave, you’ll want to do that before putting on any shaving oil or jelly. One of the benefits of tracing the pattern is that you don’t have to worry about the template moving around while you work. But if it’s a more complicated pattern, you may want to leave the template in place a while longer so you don’t accidentally cut the wrong areas of hair.

With your template in place (or traced), start at the edge of the stencil and pull your razor away from the design. Keep repeating this procedure until you’ve circled the entire template but try not to move the template before you’re finished. If it does slide out of place, do your best to line it up again to avoid any uneven edges in your design.

Once you’ve got your basic design outline cut, remove the template and use your razor to clean up and perfect your shape. Just be careful not to dip into the shape! If you should get off course, don’t panic. In a few days your hair will start filling up the mistake and you can trim the pattern out again. If the shape doesn’t show as clearly as you’d like, your hair may be a bit too long…or too short. Try trimming everything down to an even length…and if it gets too short, just wait a few days and watch your shape grow in.

Do keep in mind that this is not the easiest of tasks so if you don’t achieve perfection the first time, don’t give up! We’re pretty sure that even if your design isn’t 100% perfect, your partner is still going to love the outcome and will appreciate the time and effort you put into styling yourself.

If you’re ready to get started, then have a look at our templates below. We’ve got over 80 fun and crazy designs, from alien heads and arrows, to symbols and triangles! Some will need a more skilled hand than others but we know you want to have fun with it.

Although it may be intimidating to think of coming close to your Johnson with a razor, there are benefits that every man should consider when weighing the options to shave yourself (or not) for the first time.

One big plus is that your penis may actually look bigger – and not only to you but to others who see it too. This isn’t a proven fact, of course, but many claim that the lack of hair in your nether regions will create an optical illusion and your package will look bigger…we’re talking an inch or more here, guys. If you are already on the small side, a jungle of hair for Mr. Winkie to hide in is not the right idea. You want him to be seen and stand out in the crowd so he gets the attention he wants and deserves.

Shaving or trimming the hair around your genitals is also more hygienic and healthier. Your privates are already a natural breeding ground for sweat and bacteria and thinning things out down there is sure to get the air circulating better and encourage a fresher-smelling you. Every woman that sees a guy has taken the trouble to tackle the nether-forest will know that he cares about his cleanliness which should reassure her and encourage her to consider oral reciprocation (since she knows she won’t be smothered down there while she’s at work). And shaving also will help you locate any problems during your regular testicular self exams (TSE). You’re doing those exams, right?

Now after those last thoughts about TSE caused your testicles to shrink up into your body, let me remind you that shaving can also become a means of foreplay for you and your partner. If you let her shave you (a huge leap of trust, I know) you may just find that the stroke of the blade, thick lather and her hand on your package are an aphrodisiac like no other. In fact, why not make it a couple’s event and shave each other?

A lot of people seem curious about the correct way to shave their pubic hair, or perhaps they are just looking for ways to do it better overall. We’ve written a rather lengthy guide just for women (and written by women, of course) to help you tackle your wild jungle This is a shortened version of our full guide which you can find on our website here.

Before you get started, consider the various hair styles and designs you can select when it comes to taking this hair removal plunge. If you’d like to use a template or design, we’ve created some for you here.You’ll should gather everything you’ll need in the bathroom (generally the best place to do this task) so you don’t need to stop in the middle of the process to fetch something. I will be focusing on shaving with a razor (non-electric) and shaving oil/jelly/cream for the majority of this article.

Now it’s time to get down to business. One of the first things you will want to do is trim down your pubic hair with a pair of clean scissors or an electric razor. (If you’ve shaved before and your pubic hair isn’t very long, you can skip this first step and just start with the main event.)

“Trim down” means what it sounds like. The goal is not to remove all your pubic hair in this step but to thin the trees back so you can get an effective shave with your razor later on. Otherwise you will end up cleaning your razor many, many times to keep the blade exposed and may end up snagging hairs which is never pleasant.

If you haven’t done so already, why not check out your hair situation now in the mirror and see how things are going? You may find that after a trim, you have reached a pubic hair length which you are comfortable with. It’s your hair and if you’re not ready to go completely bare yet, there’s no pressure. But if you are ready to go on, so am I.

It’s now time to get wet and lather up. I prefer to shave in the shower after I’ve washed my hair because it gives the skin a bit of time to warm up and lets the steam of the warm shower soften the skin. You could also take a bath first but should shave at the end when you are ready to drain the water. I also usually put one leg up on the side of the bathtub or on a stool or step in the shower so I have better access to everything.

Cover your pubic hair with shaving oil, jelly or lather to form a layer of lubrication between your skin and the razor. My favorite products are Venereous Shaving Oil and Venereous Shaving Jelly. You can use them together, the jelly layered over the oil, or you can use each of them separately. Using them together just gives you an extra layer of shaving protection against nicks and leaves the skin extra moisturized. Plus neither of these products foam so you can actually see what you’re shaving which is very useful.

I usually cover the entire area I am going to shave at the beginning so I don’t need to set the razor down constantly and fiddle with the container of shaving gel. You can always go back and add more shaving oil later, but be careful with some gels and creams because if you leave leave them on too long, you may start to notice a burning sensation on your skin. If that occurs, wash the lather off immediately and give your skin a few moments to recuperate. If you have another shaving lather, you may want to use it for the rest of the process and I would recommend not using the shaving lather which burns you again in the future for this sensitive area.

Now you’re ready to put the blade to your skin. Don’t be scared. If you’ve shaved your legs before, you know that it can take a little time before you are fully comfortable with all the contours of your body. Shaving your mound is no different and each one varies so you may find that these steps don’t work perfectly for you or that a different order is a bit better. I’m just speaking from my personal shaving experience over the last 8 years.

Start with the top of your mound, use one hand to gently pull back the skin so it is tight and, with the razor in the other hand, shave down with the hair growth. I like to start on the sides near the crease of my legs and then work towards the center. After I’ve shaved most of my mound against the hair growth, I then shave against the growth and sometimes from side to side. In some areas of the body, such as the armpits, hair grows in multiple directions and to get a very close shave, you need to shave in each direction of growth to get every hair at its base. When you first start shaving, this can increase your chances of razor burn so be sure that you have plenty of lather covering your mound while doing this. Run your fingers over your mound and if it’s smooth, you’re ready to go on.

The lips can be a bit trickier although the outer labia should be similar to shaving your mound. Shaving against the hair growth usually gets most of the hairs although you may have to retrace your stroke one or twice to catch any strays. Try not to go over the skin too many times, though, as this also might cause irritation later on. If you feel the need to shave with the hair growth, be careful because you may end up nicking yourself which is quite uncomfortable.

To shave inside your labia, use your free hand to gently roll the lips open and carefully pull the razor up along the edge of your lip and around the upper ridge to get those little hairs which will really agitate your partner during oral sex if they are missed.

At this stage, you are more or less finished.

Once you get out of the shower or the tub, you may want to use a moisturizer such as Venereous Mountain Mist to help prevent irritated skin and razor burn. Try to avoid excessively touching the area for a few hours as that may also cause irritated skin.

If you decide you love the feeling of your smoothly shaven mound, maintaining this style is simple. You will probably only want to shave every few days at first until your skin gets used to this constant new attention. If you do decide to start shaving daily right from the start, your skin may be more sensitive and irritated for the first few days that you continue this process. But as it adjusts, any discomfort and elevated levels of irritation usually subside.

Although shaving your muff can be a bit tricky and it does take a bit of getting used to, most women love the results – and so do their partners! If you’re doing this just for someone else, don’t forget to let them know that you did go to some trouble and would really appreciate if they went out of their way to clear the forest too (if they aren’t already!)

Dear Ayla,

I saw your website and was wondering if you could help me. My wife sports a full bush that she doesn’t want to shave or wax. At one point about a year ago she used an electric razor and gave herself “buzzcut”. She said it was very uncomfortable during sex and stopped after a couple of buzzes.

BTW I shave with the electric razor and find being clean shaven to be very pleasurable. She says waxing is very painful and won’t entertain the thought.

I would very much like her to shave/wax but am getting nowhere. It’s frustrating on my end but she doesn’t seem to want to experiment. I also don’t want her to get in a tizzy and cut out our sex life. We have been married for 18 years.

I think that the problem is that once she got the buzzcut it was uncomfortable and she just lost interest in the whole thing. She doesn’t want to try going bare figuring it will still be uncomfortable (a landing strip or some other funky shape would be fine with me).

Any help you can give me would be appreciated. I have thought about mixing it in with foreplay but never quite figured the best approach. I wish that there was some way to make it her idea since she is a very self directed person.

Wishing for the Shaved Life

Hi Wishing,Your problem is a common one, for couples of all ages. There is often one person in a relationship who wants their partner to shave or wax, which predominately seems to be a man wanting his woman to shave. But from what we’ve heard, the guy usually doesn’t want to shave or trim himself so you are ahead of the competition there.

Waxing can be very painful as this is an extremely sensitive part of the body. I do have some friends who’ve tried it and said that it’s really only uncomfortable for the first couple tugs until your endorphins get going. That’s of course aside from revealing yourself to a stranger – but if she’s not uncomfortable at the gyno’s office, it shouldn’t be any more uncomfortable at a waxing salon.

I personally just go the fully shaved route. We’ve got a complete guide to shaving for women which we developed while reflecting on our everyday shaves so perhaps reading this might give her a few ideas if she wants to try something other than the electric razor.

Perhaps your wife feels too virginal being completely shaved? Maybe she’d prefer a landing strip or some funky shape instead on her mound and would be willing to just shave the lips? We’ve got a collection of pubic hair shaving templates with over 80 different shapes in case she’s interested in this idea.

Ultimately, the decision has to be your wife’s. I’m assuming you’ve expressed your thoughts and feelings about wanting her to pursue a new hair style so there really is little you can do without really pressing it. If she doesn’t like the way a shaved mound looks or doesn’t feel comfortable going bare (or even just partially bare), all the arguments in the world probably will not change her mind. As I mentioned before, you may be able to find some sort of middle ground about shapes or the amount of hair she shaves or trims which is pleasing to you both.

Have you suggested doing the shaving together, as a sort of foreplay? This might make it more appealing to her and could lead to much more fun ultimately.

If the game route isn’t appealing, you could try purchasing some small, sexy underwear or lingerie for her.

But like I said before, if she’s completely shut herself down to the idea, there may be little you can do aside from admitting defeat. But if she trusts you enough to experiment on other fronts, perhaps she will also give shaving another chance. Just try not to force the subject or bring it up too often; this could end up having a very undesired effect and make her resent the idea altogether. I guess patience and understanding are important to keep in mind.

Our product, Venereous Mountain Mist, was created to help eliminate the itching, little red bumps and razor burn that often accompany shaving. It’s all natural and has ingredients like aloe vera to moisturize the skin, witch hazel to stop bleeding and prevent infection and silk protein & vitamin E to keep the skin smooth and soft. Perhaps she may find that this helps reduce some of the irritation if she does try some sort of grooming again. Our other shaving products, Venereous Shaving Oil & Venereous Shaving Jelly, are also developed to reduce nicks and moisturize skin while giving you a clean, close shave. All the best & happy shaving!

Ayla
