He hates stubble. There were times in the middle of the night , I would have to get up and shave. I knew the basic reasons for having a slave shave...cleanliness for one and the fact that nothing should be hidden from the Master. Valid reasons to be sure.
One day at the point of total frustration...I just couldn't seem to get a close enough shave, I threw the razor on the sink and said ...the heck with this! I walked into the room, he was watching tv and I asked him...why do I have to shave? He looked at me with those, oh so sexy dark eyes and said simply....'It is what makes you mine.' Hmmmmm....how can you argue with logic like that? All I could say was 'Yes, Master' turned around and carted my butt back into the bathroom to finish.
A few months later he told me I could let my hair grow, just a little. He had never seen me with hair and was curious. I was ecstatic. It didn't take too long for a little bush to grow. But, it wasn't the same. I suppose in the back of my mind I knew he didn't like it...he preferred me nice and smooth. I ended up going back to shaving on my own. Once again - a lesson taught and lesson learned.
While there are several methods for hair removal, none can be as ritualistic
as the Dominant shaving the submissive. Imagine the sub being vulnerable and
exposed as the Dom explores her most private parts with a sharpened steel.
The only problem
with shaving is the damage it does to the usually-protected skin. So, what's
the best way to go about it?
1. Plan on shaving at night. In the morning, the lower body is often puffy from retained fluid and this makes a close shave difficult.
2. Work in a clean, well-lit place.
3. Start by trimming the hair as close to the skin as possible.
4. Cover the area you are shaving with a hot, wet towel. Not only does this feel really delicious, it softens the hair and makes it easier to remove. Leave the towel there for a few minutes while you do other things...like tying the submissive to the table, for example.
5. Use lots of shaving cream or gel, and a razor blade that has already been used once. A new blade is usually so sharp it doesn't give as close a shave as one with a little wear.
6. Shave with, not against, the growth of the hair and don't go over the same area too many times...this could cause razor burn. Tweezers are very handy for getting those stray hairs that refuse to budge.
7. To prevent those nasty little red bumps caused by ingrown hairs, scrub the freshly-shaved area with a buff pad. Disposable Buf-Puffs work great.
8. No matter how good a shave you give, you are going to leave microscopic nicks and cuts. This can leave the skin open to nasty infections like venereal warts. To prevent this, apply an anti-bacterial/anti-fungal immediately after shaving. I generally don't endorse products but Baza cream (get it at the pharmacy) works best for me. You can also use neosporin, and even vaseline in a pinch etc.
9. Finally, liberally apply a moisturizer. I like baby oil with aloe .
However it is done...whether it is the slave herself or her Master that does it, it is a lesson in obedience and submission.
