I seem to have to shave every two days to actually make it so hair isn't visible.  Even so, my legs become stubbley after a day whiech really sucks.  Shaving is a major chore to me because I can't see without glasses on so I can't shave in my shower, which is why I have to shave outside of takign a shower.  Are there any basic things I can do to prolongue my shaves?  I'm aware of products that are out there, but do they really work?  How long can you go for without a shave?

I've tried Nair, your hair has to be really long (nasty) in order to get it to work and even then you probably wont be satisfied with the results. I have been using Veet for the past few years off and on...they have different forms of it (cream,wax,bladeless razor, etc) and although some people complain it burns a little bit, I normally dont have to shave anywhere I use it for at least 2 weeks.\n\nSince I dont use Veet all year long, I have found some great products for shaving: Aveeno Positively Smooth Shaving Gel (makes it so you dont have to shave as often and helps prevent cuts) and BikiniZone Anti-Bumps Shave Gel (makes it so your bikini area is baby smooth everytime you use it). I get all of these products at places like Walmart so it shouldnt be hard for you to find them. I provided links so you can see what they look like and get more info. Surprisingly they work better than expensive stuff i've tried...these are pretty cheap.\n\nHope you find something that works for you :)

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods. \nWaxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful.\nElectrolysis and laser hair removal are “permanent” hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged. \nA review of the various hair removal methods is available at http://tinyurl.com/ob6tt

I know this may sound wierd but I use conditioner. It makes it smooth and sexy.  I have been shaving since I was young. I am still young but I was in my teens. I am 24 now.

Please don't go for laser treatment, as that would be permanent, and you'd be stuck with your 1990s baldness for good.  Fashions are already changing back to hair because so many people are physically miserable with the whole shaving bit. Waxing is barbaric - you're pulling out hairs by the roots from one of the most senstive parts of your body - and having a stranger messing with your privates. EEEEEEEEwww! Shaving means, stubble, bumps, redness, scratching your crotch because it itches. It's gross. Keep the hair clean, but keep it!

Stop shaving!!! If you plan on getting waxed...do not shave! To get all the hairs pulled from waxing you need AT LEAST 3-5 weeks worth of hair...depending on how fast your hair grows. It would be pointless and impossible to get waxed and be freshly shaven.

No matter what you do, shaving will only be good for about 12hours, then you will have about a week of itchy, spikey hair.  The best is to have the area waxed, otherwise just trim closely with scissors.\n\nRemember to exfoliate really really well to prevent ingrown hairs.

You need to soak your face in warm water first to make the hair softer. Then use a good lubricating shave cream. Shave WITH the hair direction, not against.\nThen you need to make sure you moisturise after. You can get nice manly smelling moisturisers nowdays.\nOh and only use twin blade.

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.

it's better you have a hot shower before you shave, that will help you pores open..or use hot towels to wrap your face for a couple of minutes.....make sure u do not over use your blades...in your case after a few shaves you need to change the blade....and you need styptic pen...a white stick that help stop the bleeding for minor cuts...if all else fail you need to use an electric shaver!!

I think about this often too and have tried numerous things. Just stay in hot water and use a razor with gobs of shaving gel. DONT USE NAIR!!!!!!!!!!!! I TRIED IT ON MY LEGS and it burns your skin. Definetly dont use on private parts cuz it will buuuurn!!!And careful with the razor...dont cut your self ;)

i use a single blade razor. all of those multi blade razors cause more irritation. i also shave down, in the direction of the hair growth, because its less stressful on the razor and on the skin. if you dont like shaving, i know some people who just trim the hair with a pair of scissors, but if you choose this method, be careful not to cut yourself. try some different things and see what works best for you.

You r just 14 and i wonder whats the hurry all about. u started shaving at 11? Your hair roots must be highly provoked and u are definitely gonna get thick hair growth and black damaged skin now. \n\nAnd if u wanna stick to shaving, then follow this.\n\n1) First thing in the morning is not the best time to shave. Your skin will be puffy, making it difficult to get to the bottom of the hair shaft you seek to remove.\n2) Don’t ever shave dry hair. Take your shower or bath before you shave, giving the hair time to become engorged with water and thus an easier target to shave.\n3) For a close shave, scrub your skin with an abrasive sponge to remove dead skin around the hair shaft.\n4) Try using hair conditioner instead of shaving cream; it’ll leave your skin very soft.\n5) Change the razor blade after every third shave to reduce friction. You don’t want to irritate your skin more than necessary.\n6) Shave your underarms after you’ve done your body hair. This will allow more time for your underarm hair to become prepared for a close shave. Move the razor in the same \ndirection as the hair growth.\n8) Use as little pressure as possible on your razor. Use a razor with a hefty handle instead of pressing hard.\n9) Always apply a moisturizer after shaving to prevent flaky skin.\n\nIf all this does not work, go to a doctor , i mean a dermetologist immediately

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.

make sure your razor is sharp.  a dull razor causes more razor burn.  also, never shave dry skin - only wet.  try using some kind of moisturizing soap or cream to shave with.  use a moisturizer with some kind of alcohal in it too when you get done or get some witch hazel to use as an after shave.   \n\nfor bikini line, make sure you keep it exfoliated so hair doesn't get ingrown.  the more you shave it, the less sensitive the skin will get - i don't mean shave there everyday, but if you consistenly do it for several weeks, it should start to get better.  \n\nwaxing is a great option for bikini though if you can stand the brief pain - you can have it done by a pro or do it at home simply and cheaply.  i have found the new sally hansen brazilian wax formula to be excellent, and i also have very sensitive skin.  i got fantastic results faster and more quickly than with any other home kit i had EVER used and the results lasted for 7 weeks.

dont do anything on the day u shave it, next day u can exfoliate the area with a loofah or a facial scrub, then apply some soothing creme to the area try this on a regular basis it will surely help. i do it always.......

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.
