    Alright. I feel a bit odd asking this and I was debating about whether or not to ask it anonymously. Anyway....How in the heck, when someone is shaving "down there", do you keep from getting the little razor bumps? And keep it from itching afterwards? Is there any way?

    There is no way to 'stop' them from coming at first.

    You can help them by using good thick shaving cream, a warm razor and once you're done wash with soap then finish by washing with COLD water.

    But after a whiler you will find you skin gets use to it and they go away, but that can take a while depending how frequently you shave.

    As far to my knowledge there isn't a way to stop the razor bumps from appearing. Make sure you use good shaving cream and rinsing it all off well. Sorry to have more advice for you. :slight_smile:

    well for me they always come if i shave to the skin. but if i position the razor handle downwards and shave in thet direction it shaves like almost to the skin but no irritation or razor bumps, but it doesnt look as good. its pretty much like a 5 day old shave or something.

    Warm water, good quality shaving foam, a new razor or at least a sharp razor annnnnd aloe vera ointment straight away after shaving. The best is to grow a little plant then after you shave you cut off one of the leaves, open it up and there is a jelly like substance that you can rub on the shaved area. Aloe vera is a natural healer and will soften the skin and avoid razor bumps.

    if you have really sensative skin, I think they make lotions for sensitive skin that help stop razor burn.
