when facial shaving, is it good to apply a thin layer of foam or shaving cream or not?

Yes, shaving cream adds moisture to the face and allows you to shave easier. Make sure to wash your face with soap first though...otherwise you will introduce bacteria into your pores and cause acne. also make sure to wash your face post shaving...and if you are using just plain old shaving cream...it wouldnt hurt to add a sensitive skin moisturizer

because of the shaving cream or gel. you should wash and scrub good after you shave somewhere.

Cocoa butter works on my face.  Apply right after shaving.

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...

You can use a depilatory hair remover.\nOr shave with a new razor and a good shave cream. I like Aveeno shave cream for sensitive skin.

I usually do within 2-3 shaves, or if the blade gets dull and doesnt shave very well, but thats just for my face, for more, delicate, areas... well... i dunno, i only shave my face.

There is a product called "Tend Skin" that works sooooooooo well.  I have the blackest, thickest pubic hair and I shave my "hoo ha" in the shower and then apply this product...  it burns slightly when you first apply it because it kills any germs or bacteria in the hair folicle or tiny 'cuts' you may have caused by shaving, which reduces the chances or razor burn.

You always shave against the grain.  Use a good lather of soap, shaving cream, or better yet an oil based lotion.  You can shave the pubic area, but be ready for the itches as it grows back - a lot of people shave only the area that does not get covered by panties.  Under arm shaving is from the top down and should be done prior to the legs.  Otherwise, I cannot conceive of an area that needs shaving!

Use a shaving cream for sensitive skin in the shower.  Make sure you shave in the direction of hair growth.  If you want a closer shave you can then shave against the hair growth but it might cause irritation.

this works for me.......I bought a pair of men's razor, I got the gillete 3 blade turbo and I use Pantene conditioner instead of shaving cream or soap. Pat dry and afterward a dab a little bit of coco butter on the shaved area.

Don't worry about it. This is probably a big step for you. Just be sure to lather up well and use a reasonably light touch with the razor. You don't want to cut yourself by pressing too hard. Otherwise, you will be just fine.

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)

An ex-girlfriend of mine used to shave all the time, & she would rub on some stuff after shaving.  It was either called Bikini Bare or Bikini Zone.  She was able to get it over the counter at Wal-Mart, I believe.  Anyway, that may help.

First use a really good shaving cream.  I loooove Coochy from pure romance.  You can use it everywhere...even as a hair conditioner!  And for bikini line bumps use this stuff from lots of stores called Bikini Zone\n\nOoops is this a man asking???? Well you may not want to use that then!  Although it says men can use it for the really coarse hair on the face

No, it's not gay to shave down there, it feels good for you and it's much nicer for your partner.\n\nIf you're going to shave your pubic area, you need to do it every day (which is no hassle really, it only takes 5 minutes).  Doing this will almost completely prevent stubble and bumps.\n\nI recommend that you have a soapy shower, dry thoroughly, apply talc and shave with a single or dual foil electric shaver. Doing it every day means you stay virtually smooth all the time, which is a lovely feeling (for you and anyone else that it may concern). The talc is important because it lets the shaver glide softly and easily over your skin, giving you a smooth comfortable shave, unlike a harsh razor.\n\nI would never consider using chemicals on such a delicate part of the body, and waxing sounds *way* too painful - Far better to shave or (if you can afford it) go for one of the permanent hair removal treatments.

Upwards.   Shaving downwards causes skin irritation.

well, i think it's more sexy when there's less and it's more enjoyable. i think you should just trim or shave it all. it's best when there's nothing there because you can have more excitement.
