This is a trick that helps. Try VICKS vaporub the menthol and camphor has a healing/soothing function that opens/prevents razor bumps.

If you don't want the bumps try this.  Make sure everytime you shave you use a fresh blade or shaver.  Make sure you shave in one directions to prevent in grow hair.  You could always try using hair removers.  Nair makes a mousse that smell alright and works well.  You could get a wax.  With that you have to do that at least a day or two in advance.  The mousse really works well.  With anything new you try test it first to make sure you won't break out.  Give yourself a 24 hour test then if everything is ok then proceed.  Hope this helped you out.

It's much more likely that you have ingrown hairs from going to the barbershop.  You might try a solution called "TendSkin".  It works REALLY well at lessening appearance of razor bumps/ingrown hairs.  The URL is below

If your shaving for appearances sake - it isn't unhealthy as long as you use a clean/new razor.  After shaving, you will probably experience a couple days of itching (hair growing back), or red bumps (these are ingrown hairs and/or irritation).  Consider using a loofa to exfoiliate the area - but please be gentle or you'll irritate the site.  A nice aftershave cream may help.\n\nGood luck!

i shave everything too and i use a mens sensitive shave gel . also i use moisturiser on all shaved areas as if the skin is supple and hydrated it doesn't hurt as much when it grows back .\ni also shave all one week and then just shape the week after in a cycle this stops me shaving hair that has not quite grown back and stops you having blocked pores and spots in certain areas .\nits also good to leave a few weeks to just grow if you know nothing planned as it gives the skin a rest .\nalways use a razor with a strip and not a brand new one , use on your legs for a few days or 1 week 1st .. cant bear the thought of waxing , so only ever shave . hope this helps x

use some aloe vera gel to calm the burning and then next time use a new blade every time you shave down there.  THe skin is very thick and the blade must be sharp. Then always put aloe vera on right after shaving.

Are you sure you want to do that?? Trimming can give a nice effect also. Shaving really hurts and looks horrible when it starts to grow back.

Dr Mel says: Thinking of shaving? There’s no right or wrong here. Most women don’t - but it’s totally up to you. Let’s weigh-up the pros and cons.\n\nShaving: the bad news\n1. Shaving involves razors which are sharp and can slip. Ouch!\n2. Even expert shaving can leave us with a rash.\n3. When hairs grow back, they are stubbly and can be in growing.\n4. The follicles of the hairs can get inflamed causing spots, called folliculitis.\n5. Pubes are there for a reason: they protect our bits and keep them warm.\n6. Sharing razors is dangerous and can spread infections.\n\nShaving: the good news\n1. We look fabulous in our new high leg bikini.\nSix against one. Hmm.\n\nIf you decide to shave, go carefully, stick to your bikini line (not between your legs) and use a new razor. Or why not save it for the two weeks in the year when being a bikini babe is essential?

Depends on where you are shaving.  Use shave gel - brand does not matter but there are nice fragrances out there.  Use a NEW razor and always a sharp one.  Look it over for defects and discard when you don't seem to be getting a good close shave.  Use short strokes and don't press against the skin too hard or you will have a nick - ouch!  Have an alum stick on hand for any possible nicks - it helps stop the bleeding.  Good luck!

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.

I used to get those bumps too, and I had an idea, I now shave in the shower and the constant steam seems to have gotten rid of those unsightly bumps.\n\nAs an added bonus no more worrying about left over shaving cream around the ears  LOL.

If you shaved recently it is probably razor irritation, try a little cortisone cream for a few days. If that doesn't help you may need to see a doctor.

You could use sea breeze to help eliminate the bumps. Its like and astringent. Or just use acne products that you would usually put on your face, on your legs.

Upwards.   Shaving downwards causes skin irritation.

Your skin may be sensitive in that area.\n\nYou don't say if you are using an electric razor or a razor with shaving cream.\n\nIf it's the former, use Electric Shave lotion before you shave that sets up the beard.\n\nIf its the later, buy some "Edge" shaving GEL shaving cream.\n\nIt goes on as a gel first, then turns into a cream.  The gel acts as a barrier between the razor and your skin.\n\nMake sure you properly prepare your beard by using hot water (a hot wet towel works great) first before putting on the shaving cream.\n\nTry not to save too close either. (Don't press down hard)

If you are going to shave your pubic area, you should:\n1. Start by soaking in warm water to soften the hairs\n2. Exfoliate the area every time you shave with a washcloth or buf-puff\n3. Use plenty of shaving cream, and a brand. new. razor. Every time.\n4. Shave in the direction of hair growth (with the grain, not against it).  This is a less close shave but it is much less irritating.  Don't cover the same area over and over again.\n5. Gently pat dry and moisturize with an unscented lotion.\n\nIf you still get bumps after all this rigamarole, use a cortisone lotion, which you can get in any drugstore, to soothe and help the area to heal.  Some people have such sensitive skin that even this won't help... in that case, look into trimming rather than shaving if you want a groomed look.
