Thread: Shaving Bumps Below The Belt

Greetings Ladies and Gents

A few members including myself have mentioned getting shaving bumps after a coochie shave. After I had my last shave I applied some of my moisturiser to the area and this reduced the ammount of bumps I had, yay!

Has anyone else found anything that works? I remember Sno asking a while back but noone had found anything at the time.

I have similar results while using an aftershave balm or cream that has moisturizers in it.

yes, exfoliate.

There is a Zero Tolerance in this forum for anything close to innuendo. We are gentlemen and need to remember that please. Thanks guys!

Seems to me that's a razing you've given yourself often simply referred to as razor rash. Maybe you should try a slicker shaving cream. I know the folks at Lush claimed that their Razorantium Cream would prevent that. their Ambrosia is truly awesome stuff. Here's a link to their stuff.

I'm not sure how important a BBS shave is, but I find that not going against the grain will usually eliminate any sort of irritation. I find that going across the grain gives me a close enough shave, and I only go against the grain for special occasions.

Thanks X. I usually use Mama Bears shaving soap, but followed up with a Lush moisturiser Celestial this time, which did help. Spike and I are both fans of Lush products.

Not sure if you were being serious or sarcastic but I shave after having a bath so exfoliating is always part of my ritual anyway.

Holli, WTG and XTG are the passes that are made. As Spike usually does this shave for me and he thinks it could be because his technique has improved and he took more time to do it.

Thanks for the suggestions and input Gents.

Hm, perhaps try only with the grain if the problem persists.

With regards to exfoliating, I actually find that shaving alone exfoliates enough, and if I do anything in addition I run into problems. For example, if I'm planning on shaving after a shower, I don't wash the parts of my face that I'm going to be shaving. It might be because I have sensitive skin, but I find that using soap and a washcloth and then shaving is a bit too much.

I am indeed serious about the exfoliating.

Even when I shave my face (with a straight), I give the face a good scrub, so it wouldn't hurt anywhere else either I suppose... And use a balm for sensitive skin, that should do the trick.
