While recently researching pubic hair shaving kits I discovered a growing phenomena among couples. The couple plans a private, romantic spa evening for themselves at home with a bubble bath, champagne, candles and flowers. After the bath, but before the bubbly, the couple takes turns helping each other groom and shave their pubic hair. I've heard stories about both men and women creating pubic hair designs for each other. This I found very intriguing because I know that pubic hair grooming has been an art since Cleopatra so I decided to find a kit and try it out for myself.

The Ultimate Shaving Kit is a pubic hair grooming kit that includes exclusive formulas - Shave, Soothe & Smooth - were designed by a woman chemist to eliminate pesky rashes, ingrown hair, bumps and itching that some people experience after they groom their pubic hair.

The kit won the "Cosmopolitan's Beauty Award for the Best Bikini-line Beautifier" when it was first introduced and quickly sold out. The creator, Judy Pfleger of Hair Care Down There, recently released new stock available for purchase on-line.

When I received The Ultimate Shaving Kit I was impressed with the cute waterproof aqua carry-all case. The case keeps the pubic hair grooming formulas and tools discreetly stored between uses and there are extra pockets if you want to add some of your own beauty supplies.

The kit includes:

* A style guide.
* The three signature products: Shave, Soothe & Smooth.
* Round-tipped safety scissors with a rubber grip.
* Lightweight and narrow cartridge razor.
* 2-sided magnifying mirror.
* Brush and comb.
* Heart and landing strip stencils and stencil pencil.
* Decorative bindi adhesive jewels to enhance your design.

Shaving your bikini line for the first time can be very scary. I read the instruction guide that explained how to use the formulas and tools and the tips and color pictures of the various styles of pubic hair grooming were very helpful.

By using the three gentle formulas made for pubic hair I discovered that I need not fear nicks, cuts or ingrown hair. The Shave, Soothe & Smooth products are a clear shaving gel (so you can see where you are shaving), a spray that prevents itching and rashes and an aloe and green tea moisturizer to keep skin smooth. These products can be reordered separately so that I restock the kit anytime.

The instructions were very easy to follow and the products did not sting or burn my skin. If you're like me you'll start out with a conservative bikini shave and progress to creative designs and bindi jewels when you grow more confident.

My fear of shaving my bikini area was completely unfounded. Hair Care Down There made it simple and safe. I highly recommend The Ultimate Shaving Kit for novices and those who are experienced in pubic hair grooming. It is wonderful to have everything you need all in one place and with a carry case that I will take with me when I travel.
