Well, my experiment with not shaving to help increase sensitivity did not work out. I just got frustrated and bothered by all the hair, even when I trimmed it. Trimmed was actually worse, because then it was sharp and poking me all the time. I hated how it looked too. So I'm back to my old pattern of shaving the lower part, but leaving a nice muff at the top. Hubby seems to like it this way too.
