    Do you shave with or against the grain?

    Somtimes I get it too but most of the time I can avoid it. 1. Always take a shower first . 2 put on lots of shaving cream on your chest and stomach and leave it their a little while. 3. Fill your Foset with cold water and rinse after every pass. Rub some vitamin E oil on it if it's still bad after that.

    yep I used to get it on the stomach bad, especially the pubes. I always do it in the shower now, get it warm first then lather up and NEVER shave against the grain, thats the killer.

    HOLY SH!T BRO!! I've had a few body parts done and that initial sting is tear-jerking, but I cant even imagine what its like to have ur nostrils waxed.

    Id love to get a full body wax. i dont have that much hair to begin with, but i just hate hair in general. i cant find a place that will do it

    My wife does full body waxes on Body Builders, she reckons they are the biggest sooks ! But then again it does hurt like fuk there is no doubt. She has been doing my nose for years so it doesnt hurt that much anymore.

    There is a place in Australia that has a sign on the window "Discount for Back, Crack and Sack Wax" They cater to the gay boys in that part of town. Now I know the nose hurts but, the sack !!!

    back, crack, and sack!!! Too funny! LOL...

    I'm sure my girlfriend would leave me if I asked her to wax my nosehairs! Maybe when we're married I'll ask her to do that!!

    Make sure you clean the area really well, with warm/hot water, wash over the areas quite a bit before opening up the pors, it will reduce any rashes

    i never shave with a razor, i either use something like nair or the back side burn trimmer on my electric razor. it works well on chest,legs,back and it doesnt give razor burn.
    waxing does hurt like a bltch but its the best way i think. ive only done it once and it fukin hurt so i havent done it again! LOL... i might try it again b4 i go to cancun(but probably not)

    thanks again everyone. Your adive has REALLY helped. I'm definitely not man enough to wax so I'm cleaning the areas thoroughly, using the back side of a trimmer when possible, going with the grain when using a razor, and putting tons of vitamin E on -- all of this has been helping quite a bit!

    is it true that after you wax an area for long enough you will kill the hair folical itself rather than just shaving everyday for the rest of your life?

    as far as shaving against the grain, for me i have to im italian...

    and does nair leave a rash?

    sometimes irritates the skin..not a rash though..i was only a little red since it essentially burns the root of the hair

    Pour rubbing alcohol over the areas you shave. It burns for a second, but it takes care of razor burn.

    Try AVEENO oatmeal shaving cream. I had a bump problem and it helped a lot.

    look for a product called "tend skin" works great for irritation anywhere, but is expensive.
