Razor burn?

Question

What's the best way to avoid or get rid of razor burn? I shave atleast every other day if not everyday. I don't get the burns on my legs but I do get it in the pubic area. I've tried warm water, hot water, shaving cream and lotion.
What can I do?

Answer 1

Speaking as a man who used to suffer HORRIBLE razor burn on my face, I can suggest what worked for me (I learned it in the Army).

When you rinse, rinse off with COLD water. Not icy, but cold. No need to pop a nipple over it. Cooler water prevents the burn. Of course, shaving every day SUCKS, and will still cause some irritation. Try a lotion with Aloe Vera in it, some shaving creams come with Aloe in them already. Try one of those.

And good luck. Gotta love a woman who doesnt want her man to get all stubbled when he's down doing his oral thing.

Answer 2

Lots of good suggestions already... I'll add a couple:

* Always use a good, clean, sharp razor.
* Be very very gentle when you shave. Small, slow strokes.
* Give your skin time to heal. I know, hard to do in the summer, but do your best. It's sensitive down there!

Answer 3

I got razor burn when I used the disposable kind. I bought a Venus razor and I have not had razor burn since! I think all you need to do is test out different razors.

Answer 4

Its probably because you are shaving against the hair, shave in the direction of the hair.

Answer 5

Hi. Why don't you try Conditoner...it doesnt' matter what kind. But you should really try that. I used to have the same problem...but my friend told me to use just regular hair conditoner and that would probably help...it helped me! Have a great day.
