When i shave my chest, it gets rashy and the stubble is still visible..how do i get smooth, non- irritant skin..somone told me that the more you shave the less irritant your skin will become since your body is use to it..is this true? any help would be great..thanks!

Try Waxing the chest hair instead

Razors, when you examine on a microscopic level, scrape the skin and that can lead to the irritation

Shaving rough hair like that can cause ingrown hairs. Waxing is the best solution. Its about 4 long seconds of pain but it's MUCH better then shaving. Walgreens sells a great at-home wax product. It's called Parissa. Its VERY easy and effective.

Hi Dude4

Thank's for replying to my "mind not working" post incidentally :).

Well, I would personally look for one of the depapilliary (sp) creams that you can just apply to the area you want to remove the hair from, let it set for a bit and then wipe it off. I've never actually used this myself but I know it's been around for awhile. The only drawback is that it removes the hair (follicles and all) permenantly (I'm guessing this is what your wanting to do(?). One of the major drug stores should have this. Just go up to the counter and ask the clerk or pharmacist.
