if you have naturally sensitive skin, shaving may not be for you, start seeking out alternative methods.

if your gunna stick with shaving anyway, use a new blade everytime, let the shaving cream soak on in the shower for a while, and moisturize after your done.

Bro try Tendskin, I was about to drop 4 grand on laser, and tried this product and it took away all razor burns. I feel like I should be a rep. for them, thats how much I like it.. People react different to it, just like gear and supplemts,but IMO give it a try..

[JuliasDad]

Tendskin??? never heard of it, is it just a lotion in the shaving section in a store or somthin i need to order online? at this point im willing to try anything!

First off... get a GOOD razor. We're fond of the mach-3s... don't waste time on disposables... shower 1st for a bit... get your skin hot... as you would warm your skin before you shave your face. Here's the trick.... use WOMEN'S shaving lotion.... a little extra aloe in there... all the better. Get it for SENSITIVE skin. And don't overshave... (repeat spots over and over)... THAT'S what irritates. don't wash with soap before either... it dries the skin... wash AFTER. And never shave dry skin... make sure it's wet or you'll get breakouts (mainly on the chest)... the arms... can take a lot - you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes becareful with soap and lotions. Everyones skin is different and will react diffrently. Nontheless use something with mild properties.

Switch to waxing...then you're only dealing with it every 3 to 4 weeks.

then you gotta let it grow back to a pretty good length though.........i actually just got my back and chest waxed.........granted not professionally, but can we say painful?

Order online, and use it after you shave. You can use it the next morning as well, your skin will feel smoother by the next day.. Order the small bottle first, and if you like, get more!!!

Nah, just about and 1/8-1/4", unless your hair is super coarse. I know some guys who's stubble looks like that in a day or so. I know one guy who gets his beard waxed (like on his neck/jaw line area)--now that must take some serious pain tolerance. I don't do the waxing anymore except for bikini. I have one of those sadistic epilators for everything else. That's real pain the first couple rounds.
