Default Re: Avoiding razor burn "down there"

The problem with shaving "down there" is that the skin is more sensitive and there's folds of skin that rub against each other. You will be more prone to ingrown hairs, razor rash and follicle infections if you shave down to the skin.

The better option is to clipper the hair using a body groomer instead of shaving with a razor. Just trim it close to the skin but not completely bare.

Waxing does make for a softer regrowth because the ends of the hair are not as sharp when they grow in after waxing. Shaving tends to create a sharp, bristle-like end to the hair which is part of the reason it feels so scratchy.
