Post Shaving

I'm a bodybuilder... and I shave my whole body...from chest down... i'm getting red bumps (maybe razor burn) i don't know... where my leg meets my groin.... I've used stuff that takes away razor burn...but don't think that's helping... when I don't shave and it looks like it's going away, i can see it more when i come out of the shower... I've thought about using an electric razor... but can you use that on your pubic area? or what's the best way to do that... another thing is that the hair grows back really fast and thicker... is there something that i can put on to thin the hair, so it doesn't grow back that fast.. it only stays smooth for about 2 days

Use lotion after you shave, that way when clothes rubbing against your skin you'll be fine from it, it also won't dry out and make it feel worse when your clothes do rub against it.

Does someone know if an electric razor works 'down there'?... and how long does it usually take for the red bumps or burns (whatever they are) to go away... i've waited like a week and a half to two weeks so far, and there really faint now...they've been like that for a while though.... would the use of a 'female' razor work better, i mean those things are designed for legs and stuff, right? or any suggestions on what type of razor to use?

Cool

Hey Maverick
I'm not sure if using an electric razor would be any better than a regular one to solve your problem. There's a few things that you can try, I'm not sure if you're shaving in the shower or not, but that's a start I shave in the shower with warm water. Shaving in the shower helps to soften up the skin use warm water when you shave. Most of the time, the red bumps come from 1. not preparing the skin before shaving, especially if you're shaving down there, you should be using cream or gel for sensitive skin when shaving down there, then follow with a moisterizer that "does not" have alcohol, that will sting. 2. another thing that causes red bumps are in-grown hairs. That's when the hairs are starting to grow back and the pores are clogged, then they stay in the skin and do not come out, it causes red bumps and irritations on your skin.

There's just one other suggestion for ya, why dont you try, some of the hair removal creams or getting waxed at a salon. Look into one of those and see what happend.

Good Luck
