I shaved myself for the first time a few days ago, and yes much to everyones reviews, i really liked the way it felt and looked but the problem, much like everyone elses problem is the razor burn. it is almost like little pimples down there and they are really painful. i waited a few days [five] and then tried to shave again and apparently that was a horrible idea because all those little bumps opened and BLED! what do i do!?!?! i am really scared!
i know i can count on you all for excellent remedies and support,
thanks so much!

Don't be scared. Your skin will get used to being shaved... In the meantime, the best way to deal is to exfoliate daily after showering. I use exfoliating shower gloves and scrub away, its a little uncomfortable, but it totally solves the problem. Good luck!

So do I, and I'm 30. Now I use Bikini Zone after any hair removal, shaving or waxing, and it helps a lot. It suggests applying it several times a day, I usually apply immediately after shaving or waxing, then again a few hours later, and once a day after I shower and pat dry until i need to remove the hair again.

do you still get ingrown hairs? i thought it was mostly for razor burn.

thanks for the info.

Exfoliating daily in the shower keeps the ingrown hairs away. I use Neutrogena Gentle Scrub, the same stuff I use on my face actually. It smells slightly of oranges and I love it.
