I've been frustrated lately over how I'm shaving. My skin feels smooth to the touch, but it doesn't look as if I were shaving close enough, as some of my side burns are still visible. I see the same thing on my neck, and I've been getting red bumps on it lately. Having a Gillette Fusion, I'd think the job would get done properly. My blade does not need changing. Do I need new shaving cream? Any help is appreciated.

The best way to get the closest shave is not the razor or cream/gel but the time you put into it.I recently read an article on how a famous barber takes a good 20 minutes to for a good clean shave.Most important is to use a hot towel, or after coming out of the shower. Then you shave in both directions with and against the grain, stretch your skin and take your time.Biotherm,Alba, Kiss my face,are all good creams and gel products but it's said glycerin based products are the best.

Well in case i strongly feel that you r having some allergy to blades...that why i feel u r having itching sensation for one day or two...Do one thing use hair removal strips or use shaving creams applied before u shave ur vaginal area. Dont try anything which chemical in nature..just use some aloe vera shaving creams

watever you do..dont use veet! im the same as you and i thought it was because of the razor blade and veet makes me itch just like nair. i just let my leg hairs grow a lil bit and then i use shaving cream and then after i shave i put on some coco butter lotion..it minimizes the rash a bit so does vaseline.

I use an intuition razor to shave mine. Although I prefer a closer shave it really depends on the person. I shave everything. You just hold them together and go up w/ the razor and then down. Everyone I'm sure shaves different you have to do what makes you feel comfortable just remember that. I take my razor and go straight down the front and go inner wards on the sides. As far as down below my "lips" I have to stand like I'm riding a horse and shave outwards towards my thighs. Then go down and take the razor and go sideways inner wards right below my lips. I hope this helps! Good luck. Be careful NOT to shave to much b/c you can get razor bumps (not sexy). Also be careful if you decide to put lotion down there it can get irritated if your not careful and cause an infection. As far as the lips in general you can spread them apart and gently guild your razor upwards on each "lip" to get excess hair.

ok im a bloke.... but can only shave twice a week because i have sensitive skin...i use king of shaves jel, the pale blue one for sensitive skin, has tea tree oil, aloe vera, and vit E in it, use plenty of water and it gets very slimy, the blade glides through it giving a clean shave with no chaffing of the skin... rinse well after shaving and PAT dry dont rub.....worth a try.

Don't shave it.\nShow it off - it is a symbol of musculinity. Believe me, guys who don't have it will be jealous. Be proud. Later when you're older you may have to TRIM it to keep it looking neat, but enjoy it. Many people find it really sexy, and shaving it can cause skin irritations.\nLucky Dog.....

ok im a female but i can tell u how my husband does it. he usually trims it down as low as he can with his electric shaver in the shower and then uses his razor to get the rest. it usually gets it pretty smooth. also a little tip, if u dont want to be itching and scratching once it starts to grow back, put a little lotion on the area after shaving and for a few days after, at least until it starts growing back.

Sounds a lot like razor burn, but if there's a chance it's an STD, you should get it checked out by a doctor.

if creams dont work, try shaving. or waxing will work but that can get expensive and painful. if nothing else, but not as a last resort, visit a doctor and ask their opinion on it. they will be able to provide the best insight.

Ouch.... good preventative care is the best way to take care of it.  Now that you have them to some extend you'll have to suffer, but try rubbing unscented anti-persperant over the affected area.  It has great moisturizers for shaved parts.

try a shave gel and a better razor if you are using electric go to manual blade razor.

You are not shaving correctly.  First always use a clean sharp razor. Second, shower or take a warm bath first to soften the hair and moisten the skin. Third, always use shaving cream (this contains the right stuff to prevent the bumps).  Fourth, after you shave wash completely with a anti-bacterial soap.\n\nDO NOT USE AN ELECTRIC RAZOR THERE\n\nWhat you are getting is irritation marks from your shave,  your skin is very soft there and you are actually cutting into the top layer of your good skin cells.  You need the cream to guide the razor while you shave (do not be cheap but the good stuff).\n\nDO NOT PUT AFTER SHAVE AFTER YOU SHAVE THERE.

I hear you!  Every time my wife gets one of those scary daggered looks in her eyes and starts complaining about her PMS pains I remind her of my beard shaving and itchin' ordeal!   Sometimes, if I'm lucky enough, I might even get about a couple of hours of mileage (i.e. peace and quiet) out of that comment too!!!    Anyway, as you know, like PMS, beards too are unpredictable and moody, my friend.   In general, they start itchin' once the hair starts to break the skin again, as well as, when it gets long enough for the tips to roll back around and prick and tickle the skin (which could be different from individual to individual, depending on the type of facial hair, etc.)   Of course, if you happen to have a monkey-suite job like I do, and are condemned to shaving everyday, then you might suffer from an altogether different itch too – such as skin irritation and allergic reactions – especially if you have a heavy beard and sensitive skin combination like I do.      Anyhow, here are my recommendations for a softer and less-itchy bread (I already have enough PMS on my hands to worry about, I don’t need any additional itch):\n\n1) Wash your face with warm water and a decent soap that you are not allergic to (preferably an anti-bacterial one IF it does not irritate your skin) prior to shaving;\n2) Use a good shaving gel and work it well into the facial hair prior to shaving;\n3) Use a good triple blade razor like the Gillette Turbo, etc. and replace it as soon as it starts getting dull;\n4) Try to first shave in the direction of the hair growth and not against it;\n5) Once you are done shaving wash you face thoroughly again and/or take a shower.   By the way, shaving in the shower works if you have a nice fog-free mirror, otherwise you might end up looking like Mr. Popcorn Face by the time you patch up the damage!\n6) Always use a fresh towel to dry your face and do not use an “After Shave Lotion and/or Cream” on a freshly-shaved skin; the alcohol and/or chemicals in ‘em will irritate you skin and or clog up your pores.   At least, I have that problem.\n\nIn addition to the above, if you have the luxury of letting your beard grow and are looking for a less itchy one, here’s what I would do:\n\n1) Wash your beard with a high-end/quality shampoo and conditioner combo; \n2) Brush it often so that the tips are not in contact with the skin;\n3) Always keep it trimmed, especially around the cheek bones and below the jaw line.  Wash your face often;\n4) Use a good quality hair/skin cream to moisturize and condition your facial hair and skin;\n5) Bury your head in the sand if you are anywhere near a lady with PMS!!!   [Dive into the ocean, if she starts coming after you with a BIG knife – poor ladies, they really suffer too you know!   :-) ]

It could be razor burn but if you are really not sure you should go see a doctor  and they will let you know if it is warts or razor burn

First dust your face with talc before shaving, after shaving rinse with very cold water then apply a thin even layer of Quiniderm cream to your face and neck. If you get neck rash too dust your kneck with talk before going to bed at night. I find it best to shave at night as it gives my face time to heal before i put on a collar/shirt in the morning. Wet shaving would solve your problem try shaving using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam.

One and done for disposables.  If you use it a second time, you run the risk of irritating those bumps you mentioned.  Have you tried an electric razor with a pre-shave conditioning powder?  Try it, most guys I knew from the Navy who had those bumps swore by it!  Good Luck!
