body oil, never thought of that.
I sometimes use an emollient prescribed by the Dr for dry skin. its really good, it has 3 types of paraffin in it. I mix in a bit of granulated sugar and my fav shower gel and exfoliate in the shower then have a quick shave then I use the same concoction and exfoliate a second time then shave again *cause sometimes esp at the backs of my legs where wee hairs are trapped under the skin then shave again. the emollient makes my legs exceptionally smooth.

I have the same problem. I've definitely over-shaved in the last few months as the skin is bumpy and now impossible to get stubble free. I've had waxes a few times and while I love the smoothness, I got bad ingrown hairs both times and also had little white bumpy spots for several days afterwards, then have to wait for it to get long enough to wax again. A miracle hair remover cream would be great, but at the moment I'm considering changing my profile to trimmed and letting that area have a little break for a while.

Ah Lucie I'd love to take the steps towards where you are now! In my years of shaving, I'd never had a problem until last time, which left me with the most horrific, unsightly rash that I couldn't wait for it to grow back! I'm currently unshaven but will be going through the motions tomorrow as it's part of my "normal" routine.

It would be so liberating to step away from the razor! How did you find the move from shaven to unshaven, in terms of clients reactions? x

I shaved part of mine the other week for the first time in over a year as needed to apply some canestan cream, the itchiness the next few days reminded me why I stopped.

Have tried veet but it seems to burn near my inner thighs and no way am I trying waxing.

Shaving, I put some body oil and dove soap on my skin first and it stops any rash or burn, also if I am having a day off or weekend I don't shave anywhere to give my skin a rest and I'm always really smooth x

Any specific kind of oil, Nia? Still looking for that miracle product that reduces ingrown hairs on me

After years of shaving, waxing and veeting I have gone au natural.  No complaints and I actually have clients who book me specifically for the hairy mary effect, I am talking about the fanny btw.

I have suffered chemical burns from the veet to severe scarring from waxing and bad rashes from shaving no more lol  But when i was shaving i used to shave with a peppermint and teatree conditioner and then rub a tea tree lotion in it afterwards and it really worked well.

If you shave downwards can help with reducing ingrown hairs. I have had one in the three years of escorting luckily.

Hmmm...I have heard this, but I can never get smooth enough when I do it this way

Aahh my favourite topic lol, because I HATE, HATE, HATE the whole shaving thing so much!!!!
I never had any major problems up until a few months ago.. I don't know what happened, I've always used a combination of Veet and good quality razors, which worked fine (apart from the unavoidable shaving rash/ lumps, bumps, ingrowing hairs etc., but
nothing major).
Then those rashes and spots and lumps and bumps just got worse and worse and I thought it would never get back to normal down there!
So I decided to let it all grow back, and NOT TOUCH IT for at least a few weeks (which proved a lot harder than I thought!), and now,
a good 6 weeks later things are healthy and rash/spot etc. free down there.
I think all those harsh chemicals and constant shaving day in day out were taking their toll on my skin..  So..,
I'm gonna stick to 'trimmed' for a while, as I find it saves a lot of time, doesn't cause all those problems I named above, and still looks clean and tidy.
So far none of my clients have objected (most haven't even noticed, or if they did, didn't say a word..)
I think trimming or going au natural is the way forward, after all, we're meant to have hair down there don't we??!
