okay, there have been a lot of topics about these (hair removal and razor burn) and i feel it is one of those topics that you cannot have too personal of a topic ~ its idol curiosity about how to remove hair and deal w/ razor burn . . .

Please make your remarks HERE. All of the hair removal - razor burn related topics that can and will fit in here will be closed with a hyperlink to this specific topic. It is not necessary to bombard the forum with the same questions. I am not a master at these topics, so this is what i am asking:

Please post your advice here for these topics. Any advice you have will be apprechaited. This is not to ask questions about it, but to give advice.
After we have a plethora of resources, I will go through and put a hyperlink into each topic in these forums.

If you have a specific topic that is unanswered in this topic, then feel free to ask, i am just asking you to please read through this beforehand.

Thank You!

Just a recommendation, for those of you who get horrid razor burn (like me!) I use dipilatories (sp?) and have tried a few different ones.

At first I went with Nair, which took forever, smelled horrid, and didn't work THAT well, but better than nothing.

Then I tried Veet, and have loved it ever since - it's quicker and more effective. Everyone I've talked to who's tried both has said the same thing.

If you get veet, the canister says no longer than 6 minutes - but I leave it on usually closer to 8 or 9 minutes, it works better, sometimes even 10. If you feel any burning tho, rinse it off! I know a guy who got a chemical burn from Nair.....on his nipple. Lmao. He "can't STAND body hair." Too bad he didn't have time to wax.

Just some advice if you're looking to try any of the creams.

If you don't use shaving cream (or can't be bothered with it, like me) a little conditioner, moisturiser or baby oil all make good substitutes.

Would directly putting aloe vera on the razor burn help? I just thought maybe because some shaving creams even contain aloe so I thought that might help

[Lena]

It could help - its soothing, cooling and aids healing, so it wouldn't do any harm (unless you're allergic to it, LOL). Its worth a try.

I don't have much of a problem with razor burn anyways. I'm too lazy to bother with shaving cream or anything.. I use conditioner if my legs are dryer than usual.. I just figured I would put the idea out there for anyone who may need it.

Hey guys (and girls), I got something I know for a fact you all are going to love!

For a while now, I've been searching for a good razor to trim my intimate area. Hair down there is not something I am really fond of (I know, a lot of us arn't). So I've been searching for a great way to remove the hair safely.

Being a guy, it's slightly harder for us and a little more nerve wrecking when shaving. Especially around the scrotum and along the penis.

Now guys, I know you've felt the bite before. You know what I am talking about. It sucks, doesn't it?

About two weeks ago I purchased a specialized razor designed specifically for the shaving of intimate areas.

Bodworx Intimate Area Shaver

I was skeptical. Really, I was. Everytime I shave, I nick myself somewhere. Over time, I've nicked everything. Not fun, believe me. So when I tried this, I was expecting to feel the well-known bite. I didn't nick myself at all. I was able to remove all of the hair on my scrotum, penis, and surrounding areas for a nice soft silky feel. This thing WORKS. I can't say enough about it. You don't need any shaving cream, lotion, none of it. This thing WORKS!

Your wallet will feel a little pinch ($60.00) but trust me, you will be fully satisfied. I am no longer nervous when I shave down there. It's quick, safe, and does the best job (second only to a wax [Ill pass on that]).

The site is a little cheesy but it is an actual store, safe, and reliable.

No burns, nicks, blood, flawless tool this is! Enjoy!

Aren't you suppose to avoid using dipilatories on perianal (or whatever it says). Can you? And besides, I wouldn't mind the waxing down there, only I can't find a salon that will do it...

I get really bad razor burn when I shave just using shaving cream. But I found this GREAT product that is specifically for shaving your bikini area. It's called 'Anti-Bumps Shave Gel' from Bikini Zone. It's a green gel that softens the hair for a closer, less irritating shave. It's nice because unlike most shaing creams it doesn't lather up so you can still see what you're doing (if you have a fancy design down there). It has little beads in it so it feels a little gritty but other than that it works great. I'm able to shave practically every other day without irritation, when I could only shave once a week before.
