Leave them alone: Leave any hairs that are under the skin, alone. Be prepared for itching and drying of your skin, because pubic hairs have a protective function that shaving deprives you of. Some aloe lotion may help.

Agree and....: Have seen numerous infections in people shaving pubic area, some of which have required surgery. Consider using a clipper rather than a razor, to avoid having small cuts which can allow bacterial overgrowth to develop. Use antibacterial soap in area, make sure everything is clean!
