Shaving my hooha

So... ladies & possible gents. I am scared to death to take a razor and shave my lady bits. I normally take a pair of scissors and trine then take a electric shaver and get as close as shave with it as possible so I'm never hairless more less just really trimmed. The last couple months I've had troubles with my period so I let her get a lot hairy. What tips or tricks do y'all use? I've read pretty much all the topics on this.
