I have sensitive skin (and folk who suffer from shaving rash often do, it is part of the territory) and, having read various reviews of products such as Veet (go on, look it up on amazon!), I would not dare expose my skin to them. I would be suffering for weeks. If you have sensitive skin, do you really want to risk exposing it to a caustic chemical strong enough to dissolve hair? Aaaagh. Some people do recommend these products so they obviously work for a proportion of the population, but they are not for me. |

I agree with the not using veet option.

What are you using when you shave? I havent had a shaving rash in over ten years, i use gilette shaving gel for sensitive skin (the mens one) and a gilette pro fusion razor for some reason the mens stuff works so much better than the womens ever did! I also make sure i have been in the shower for 5mins first so the warm water softens the skin a little and then finish off with a good moisturising shower gel |

I had laser treatment! Never looked back it's brilliant!! It's not for everyone I know but I am very dark and unfortunately blessed with thick dark hair!! It has been an eye opener and I will be having further body parts 'lasered' (legs etc) leaves the skin feeling like there has never been hair there!

I usually shave in the shower at night, whack a load of sudocrem on before bed, and I'm usually fine. Then every day I lightly exfoliate the whole area and that normally keeps ingrown hairs away.
Also there is a waxing specialist near me who uses a special product which only sticks to the hair, not your skin, so causes less irritation and is slightly less painful than normal waxing (which I don't really mind anyway) so maybe there's someone similar near you?
I agree though that men's shaving tools are better than women's |

"Thats where I am going wrong not using a high enough quality razor. Thanks folks"
the bic dispoables won't work... Gillette or Wilkinson sword. As a male I used to always use gillete mach3 or fusion razors but got cheeses of with the price of the refills so have recently changed to Wilkinson sword hydro 3. I prefer the wilkindon sword myself
