My problem areas include my back and upper arms, shoulders.  My skin gets irritated very easily and I want something that will last longer than just a few days (shaving is out).

It could be that you need to take a break from shaving for a while, thats what happen to me. Just let it grow out for a while, and keep it trimmed it'll still look nice.

Try a product (the best) called "Bump Stopper", it's in the shaving aisle. Also near the hair removers there is "Bikini Zone" lotion by Sally Hansen.  You can get these at your local drugstore. Also, make sure you are always using a new razor blade (to prevent infection) like Venus or Mach 3, or anything with 3 blades. A really great shaving cream is Aveeno anti razor-bump cream, with a dark blue lid. It smells like cookies and is great for your skin.

Always shave your hair in the direction the hair grows and make sure that the hair and skin is very wet when doing so. This helps keep the razor burn to a minimum or none at all. Also don't use lotions with fragrance in them, this also causes irritation and itchiness. Good luck!

Well there are a few differnt reasons it can happen. Infection of the hair folicles, Irritation , and ingrown hairs.\n\nThe best way to shave is to shave with a new or sharp razor and shaving cream for sensative skin, shave in one direction to limit the irritation, and do not apply alot of pressure. After you get done clean off with water, and let it air dry. Drying it with a towel will only irritate your skin, and possibly clog your pores. After it dries use rubbing alcohol a couple of times a day until the irritation goes down.\n\nAnd yes it will itch but the Alcohol helps, and if you continue to shave that will go away as well.

immediately after shaving put some good moisturizing lotion on the shaved area. re-apply daily, may need to shave every couple of days, also tell him if he wants you shaved so he don't get a mouth full of hair then you want him shaved too. if he don't want to shave then tell him you have quit too. Also if you buy a good beard trimmer you can keep it trimmed extremely close,and no irritation. also he wont get the hair in the mouth thing that way

Showering 3 times a day? Why in the world would you do that? Don't shave, that could make things worse. Get medical assistance asap.

You could try a Deodorant called Maxim it's about 12 dollars. It really helped me.

I must guess your skin is super sensitive. I would recommend to go to a dermatologist so that he or she can recommend you a shaving cream that will go with your type of skin. or will tell you if you should wax or do something else rather than shave...

I had the same problem.  I finally bought an inexpensive fog-free mirror and started shaving in the shower.  It is the closest and least irritating shave you can get.

yes, try changing your razor, also smooth some cream with vitamin e, this should cool your legs and keep them soft.
