If you've never done it and you are doing it for a shoot i (highly) reccomend getting a brazilian bikini wax at a salon. If you shave chances are youll end up with cuts and razor bumps and it wont look good on camera.
Otherwise use a loooot of shaving cream and a sharp razor smile

I suggest using a man's razor there better for the area  Gillete Mock the green one and theres also this stuff called TEND its a liquid you put on after so you dont have razor burn.  Soap and shaving gel will irrate your skin down there, shower and use baby oil to shave but do it the night before a shoot.

I agree with the baby oil.  Helps a LOT.
If you're not trimmed make sure you trim the hair very short first!  Let the oil sit on the hair for a minute to soften it.  Go in the direction the hair grows first-then more oil and go the other way.

Yeah, Tend is awesome.

Not that I really have any business putting my 2 cents in about the "how" I will say I always ask models I shoot not to do anyhting that will irritate their skin just before a shoot.  That includes facials and any shaving, anywhere.

Leave it to a trained professional. I am offering a two-fer and free estimates. Bring a friend and receive a chocolate covered donut while you wait.

I would recommend this too.  However, I would do it at least four days prior to the shoot.  That way, any blood vessels that may have burst near the surface of the skin (very common) will have time to heal.

I always wear a hat in public so my hair's usually always covered... what... wait, she's asking what?

Sorry a friend of mine just whispered to me you said "pubic" not "public". My apologies... let me correct my answer....

I always wear a hat on my pubic hair so it's usually always covered.

Dude don't you have a friend, parent or relative to talk to about that kinda thing?  Is it just me or is it weird to ask how to shave your who-hah on a public (hehe pubic) forum?  What if a guy asked about shaving his balls or nipple hair? TMI dude, TMI.  But like everyone said, ask a pro...privately.

You don't get out very much?

For starters, don't shave your vagina.  That's an internal organ.

Trim. Exfoliate. Use a new razor, a good one, preferably something like the Mock 3. Use conditioner as shaving cream.  Shave with the grain of the skin. Use an anti-perspirant on the area after to help prevent bumps.

It would probably be easier to do in the bath than in the shower.

Go to target and get a small hair trimmer (like for trimming sideburns) the small one, not the big ones.  They are only about 10 to 15 dollars.

You can trim to almost nothing with one of those.

Doing so first, will keep the razor from getting clogged on the longer stuff.

Then apply a shaving gel, let it soak in for a bit, and slowy shave being careful to pull the razor directly in line with the handle  (side to side action is how you end up cutting yourself).

With some slow even strokes, having first removed the majority with a hair trimmer, it's quite easy.

Oh yeah, make sure you have PLENTY of HOT water on tap, and your bathroom is plenty warm.  Cold anything will get you ingrowns.

For the nether regions, you'll need a mirror and good hand-eye coordination.

Don't.  A trim might be in order, but personally I think a woman's pubic hair brings out a more natural, soft-artistic look.  However, it is one of those things you CAN get back in time.

I don't have a vagina but I have shaved a few, so:
1. Be very careful,
2. Trim short first,
3. Soak hair well with warm water,
4. Let shaving cream sit a few minutes before starting,
5. Sharp razor, go slow!

Remember, not all vaginas look pretty shaved, some need hair or some hair, just like some people need clothes.
