Personal Question TMI

If i get razor burn i put alittle baby oil gel on it and that stops the itch, the bumps will go away on there own. I just trim mine up so it don't look to bushy i guess. I use a good shaving cream on it and that helps me.

No, I don't shave, bare anyway. What I usually do is have my husband get out his beard trimmers once a month and go in for a haircut. I let him do it because he can get in all the nooks and cranny's I don't. Besides, he can actually see it all instead of how we go for the bump and feel method in certain places. I know what you mean by the unpleasant reminder of why not to shave. As far as getting rid of the razor burn, I think Noxema or Nair or something like that, makes a cream for razor bumps. It's in the same section that you find the waxing and bleach creams. Hope it heals fast.

Thanks...I hadn't heard about trying baby oil but I will do that. As for the shaving cream I havve tried that before although it was a while back but it didn't seem to hurt or help!!

Haha I think that is so sweet your husband does that for you...LOL  My husband would but I am a big lady and I find it embarrasing....atleast with the lights on LOL!! I think I may just try his clippers next time though!! Thanks for the advice!

Its bad the first time you do it... but if you keep it completely shaved for awhile it wont itch or bother you at all. I have shaved completely every other day for about 5 years, and altho it itched like crazy the first time or two it doesnt anymore. I found that baby oil did help when it was too itchy the first few times I shaved.

i use baby oil before and after or sometimes ill put benadryl itch relief stuff on it (its the kids kind, looks like aloe or hair gel, idk) and i rarely get the razor bumps anymore. if i do itll be like in the crease between my leg and crotch area. I also noticed that the more i shave down there the easier it is, so i think thats why i dont get as much bumps and such now.

  I know that you are supposed to put the razor in alcohol use a soap that is antibacterial before and after you shave and then use a moisturizing shave gel.  I don't do any of this which I should but that is what you are supposed to do.  Oh and don't shave against the "grain"

Yea I shaved completly once or twice and thought I was gonna die....even though I couldn't I felt like standing there with my hands down my pants itching all day. It was so sore my husband couldn't touch me and let me tell you it surely wasn't pretty LOL.... Another poster suggested the baby oil so I am going to deffinetly try that and see if it helps!! Thanks

I shave bare and keep it that way. I do get bumps and an occasional ingrown hair but nothing terrible. I don't start to itch unless I haven't shaved in a couple days and it's scruffy. I never had too much problem with itching and such but I have heard it suggested that you put Dove deodorant on it (has lotion in it). I think anything that keeps it moisturized helps!

Never heard any of that before....I never had anyone coaching me through it though...but I have never been brave enough to ask anyone else LOL I will try everyones suggestions if it means not feeling what I do now :)
