New to Body shaving please help!
I just started shaving my chest! I had always used a sheerer on 00 before.
All goes good while im in the shower with a mach3 and shaving cream but damn...
The next day I feel like a BRILLO pad and im getting some bad razor burn down near my pant/belt line!
ANY tips!
thanks

Usually when you shave your chest, arms, back or whatever the hair will grow back thicker and bigger....I would jst use wax, or nair

i wouldn't use a razor near the belt area. you'll just end up getting razor burn like you already did.
as for the chest & arms, throw a little aftershave lotion (i use some stuff from Bath & Body Works) and never get any razor burn.

This may sound a little girly, but use a loofah to get all the dead skin off. It will keep ingrown hairs away and razor burn. I use to get terrible breakouts, but no longer.

It doesn't work... I know of a few people who had it done, They still have hair growing back... even after three treatments.

Try electolysis that will remove it forever. Also use a freash razor. Use a loofah to get all the dead skin off. You will still get ingrowns. What ever you do, do not wax or use nair or pluck. When you do that it rips the hair out and distorts the hair follical even more, which in turn causes more ingowns. I have spent a lot of money removing the hair on my chest with electrolysis. And the places I plucked have had to have several treatments. Shaving is the best methond, according to my electrogist. Also you may want to look for a product that I use called Tend Skin. It prevents razor burn, Ingrowsn acne lost of skin problems. You can buy it over the internet just do a search.

there is a plucker maid by braun and a couple others, it looks like a razor but has a bunch of little tweezers on it that pluck the hairs out. do it after a hot shower and it gets more of the hairs by the roots. I find it lasts for about 3 weeks on my legs, back and more painful areas. my chest and stomach last about 4 weeks before plucking again.

No Limits...it usually takes about 6 treatments..My neighbor had his chest done and it worked out fine. It just takes more or less treatments for each individual.

The easiest and cheapest way to remove the fur is to shave it off with shaving lotion in the shower. I had to do that twice a week when I used to be a male dancer. So just get used to it.
No big deal.
