I've read up and everything points to making sure your razor is sharp, using appropriate shaving cream and making sure to pull your skin taut while you're shaving. These things I have done and still I get INSANE razor burn (in all the wrong places if you know what I mean) that even wakes me up at night.
I've used the bikini zone creams, the gels, the lotions and still, no matter whether I go with or against the grain, I get horrible razor burn. It just gets worse if I continue to shave. (Someone suggested sticking with it and it will get better.) It didn't. I lasted a month before I threw in the towel (no pun intended.) *puppy face* Help.

It was mine. Sorry, it seemed like such a good idea at the time.

LOTS AND LOTS of shaving cream is key... Also stand in the shower for a while and let the water hit the hair for a few minutes before you shave. The softer it is, the better. Also an important rule to follow...is at MOST shave every 3 days... Shaving every day/every other day will give you razor burn no matter what kind of technique you use. Also, bikini zone is amazing. It works like a charm for me, everytime. Just rub it on after you shave and usually it will prevent bumps from forming or disappear ones already there. I hope that helps. Good luck!!

soap up first, don't be afraid to leave a little soap there, than lather up with shave cream, the with preferably a new razor stroke very lightly, and go in the direction of the grain of the hair. do all of this while in the bath or after a hot shower. some chemicals in lubricants are irritants. follow my instructions without deviation and you will be fine. :-)

I don't think there's any thing left to try except fire. A sharp razor for sure. Dull ones drag and you will suffer later. Have you tried the sensitive skin gels? With a new blade. Should work.

My skin used to be overly sensitive when I was younger, too. I used to rub baby oil on the shaved skin immediately after I was done. Don't wait until you finish the other leg, or whatever you are shaving.

right after you shave, take a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol on it and rub it all over the area. it might burn but only for a few seconds. then rub on secret powder fresh solid doedorant. that should help.
