Let’s be honest: winter was long, cozy, and maybe a little wild down there. If you’ve been rocking a full-grown bush and now summer’s got you thinking about swimsuits, smooth bikini lines, and a serious shave—don’t panic.
Shaving thick hair after a long break can be tricky if you rush it. But with the right prep (and a little patience), you can go from jungle to silky-smooth without the razor burn, bumps, or regret.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to safely and smoothly shaving a full bush—Mi-el style.
⸻
Step 1: Trim It Down First
Before you even think about a razor, grab some scissors or an electric trimmer. Shaving long, curly, or coarse hair without trimming first is a recipe for clogged razors, tugging, and painful nicks.
✂️ Trim the hair down to ¼ inch or shorter—this makes the shave way easier and way safer. Think of it as lawn prep before the mow.

Step 2: Exfoliate Like a Pro
Next up: exfoliation. You need to clear away dead skin cells and lift trapped hairs so your razor glides instead of scrapes.
🧡 Use Mi-el’s Exfoliating Body Scrub
This sugar-based scrub is gentle but powerful—perfect for softening coarse hair and unclogging pores. Bonus: it smells delicious and makes your skin feel instantly smoother.
Massage it into damp skin in the shower a day before your shave (or just before if you're in a rush), focusing on the bikini line.
⸻
Step 3: Lube It Up (Yes, Really)
No dry shaving. Ever. Especially not on thick, curly hair.
💛 Use Mi-el’s Beekini Body Oil as a shave oil
It’s packed with soothing ingredients like honey, papaya, and pineapple enzymes to protect your skin while helping the razor glide like a dream. It also prevents tugging and gives your skin that silky finish afterward.
Apply a thin layer over damp skin right before you shave.

Step 4: The Right Razor Moves Matter
-
Use a sharp, clean razor—not the one that's been chilling in your shower since last summer.
-
Shave in the direction of hair growth first, then go against if needed for a closer finish.
-
Rinse your blade between strokes and take your time—this is not a speed race.
If you're extra sensitive or prone to irritation, just shave with the grain and stop there. Smooth > red and bumpy.

Step 5: Soothe & Seal the Deal
After shaving, your skin is vulnerable. Now’s the time to calm, moisturize, and prevent ingrowns.
💫 Apply Mi-el’s Bump Bee Gone Cream
It’s formulated with glycolic acid to gently exfoliate and prevent ingrowns, while also fading any dark spots or past razor trauma. Use a light layer once skin is dry, and repeat daily to keep things smooth.

Extra Tips for a Smooth Summer Shave:
-
Shave at night so your skin has time to calm before you hit the beach.
-
Wear loose cotton underwear right after shaving.
-
Skip workouts or hot tubs for at least 24 hours post-shave.
-
Hydrate daily with the Beekini Oil to keep skin soft and happy.
