Shaving???
OK i was curious how many have to shave daily here? i am definitely a daily shaver my leg hair sucks! Also how many Shave their bikini lines and do you get irritation when you shave? I have very sensitive skin and so i get the little red bumps every time i shave there no matter what! I stopped shaving and started using a depilatory cream and it has helped but i do still get the bumps and suggestions to help?

I shave every other day, i have fine hairs so i could even skip two days if i wanted to, specially in winter. I do bikini shave, i have for many many years, i never get any bumps, make sure you use a sharp enough rasor and use a good body lotion after.

There is a product on www.cosmeticscop.com. It is called Skin Relief Treatment. Paula's Choice Products are fantastic. I use this one evry time I wax. I even put it on my bf when he has razor burn. Put a little on a cottonball after shaving or waxing. This should help with the irritation. Good old Neosporin also helps with razor bumps.

I shave every single day because I can't STAND the "stubble" feel - yuck! I've shaved everyday for so long that if I skip a day now, the hair would be so hard and long, I'd probably need to braid it!! I only shave bikini area when spring arrives. I always use a brand new razor the first time I shave there as well as a soap for sensitive skin (gels and creams don't work as well, to me, as a soap does in helping prevent the red bumps) - I use Oil of Olay soap. After the first couple times of shaving with a new or sharp razor, it doesn't bother me and no irritation.

I'm lucky that somehow I have fine hair on my legs. I only shave once a week. Even if I haven't shaved my legs in awhile, I can wear and skirt and no one will notice. Now, the hair on the rest of my body is another story! I have hairy arms and "peach fuzz" on my face. I also get the red bumps on my bikini area. But I have found that if I only shave my bikini area once a week, that I don't get the red bumps. Luckily I work during the summers, so there is rarely a time that I need to share my bikini area more than once a week.

I don't shave my legs as often as I'd like to because I get razor burn REALLY bad.... The only thing that helped me was "Coochy" shaving lotion. You can get it in adult stores, online and from a couple of the pleasure party vendors (Pure Romance, for example). It's not 100% cured, but it's definitely better than it would be otherwise.
I rarely have to shave my underarms and bikini area now. I'm having those areas lasered and it's working! |

I shave legs and pits about twice a week. I shave the bikini area about once a week. Anything more than that and I'm digging out ingrown hairs.

I shave everyday!! Legs, pits and kini area! I use a brand new blade everyday on the kini area 1st! Then when I am drying off in the shower, I put some hair conditioner on the kini area, and I have never had an issue with bumps or irritation. I just pat the conditioner on and let it soak in as I am getting ready.
Works like a gem! LOL!
