I just started shaving my chest! I had always used a sheerer on 00 before.

All goes good while im in the shower with a mach3 and shaving cream but damn...

The next day I feel like a BRILLO pad and im getting some bad razor burn down near my pant/belt line!


ANY tips!

thanks

That's the biggest problem with shaving. the next day you get to do it all over again. I have just shaved in the shower every other day.

I started waxing instead of shaving in some areas. Some guys scream that it hurts(pussies). Hell I wax my wife and she can take it. lol. It doesn't grow back very fast and when it does it isn't stubbley.

It just takes a while to get used to, it's just like when you started shaving your face, it would burn a little the next day, you'll get used to it.

I have been using an electric razor for my chest now, it seems to work pretty good.

Yeah man I bought one of those nice electrics, that contour to the curves of your face, I get no irrritation at all now, it took about a week for my face and chest to get used to it.

It probably helps that I don't have a lot of chest hair either.

my wifes a hair stylist
she says that hair grows to a point getting fatter at the base
and so if you cut it instead of pulling it out you end up with the thicker part of the hair protruding out of the skin
the moral of the story is to avoid the stubble effect wax or pluck
another point of useless nfo brought to u from west london lol.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

After you shave, wipe the area with alcohol then rub some baby oil on your skin. This should help with the irritation. Also, you can try using a different razor or removing the lubrication strip. Some people have very sensitive skin and the lube strip irritates it.

That shit burnt like a mofo! I don't know if I did it wrong or what.

I've tried using my girlfriend's wax before and it wouldn't pull shit off so I just keep shaving. The razorburn around the crotch does get old, though.

Going to your girlfriend's house with red bumps around your dick isn't too smart.

I don't know, I just keep it simple...I just shave everything once a week...well, almost everything.

My buddies sister is a hair dresser and she gets me those trimmers that you use on your neck. It takes it pretty close and I never get razor burn.

Keep shaving. I do mine every other day. At first I got razor burn and bumps real bad, but now after months of shaving on a regular basis it doesn't irritate me anymore.

stop being pussies. shave like a man, with a torch. the bbq'd dog smell only lasts a few days. better than yohimburn.

The best way to shave your cock and balls is with a weedeater!

do you use the string attachment or the blade. I got some pretty wirey pubes.

Nah, no blades for me. I can't afford to use any more inches!

For rashes or breakouts, use hydrocortisone cream on the area after shaving. Works miracles. you should be able to get it in any drug store on the shelf in the USA
