After Shaving Are The Bumps Noticable? O.o

Depends. If you get a lot of big, red bumps, then yes, they are very noticeable. But you might only get a few here and there, or they may be small. In that case you can probably get away with them better. I guess the real way to find out is to shave and see.

If you press too hard hon, you can get bumps and/or a rash. That will be noticable at first. Now hon, if you keep at it,you will find that your skin gets acclimated to shaving and you develop skill in shaving so that you no longer get bumps and rashes.

Practice, Practice, Practice.

Brenda is correct that is takes a lot of practice to get it down with no bumps showing up after shaving. The one thing to remember is to go with the grain so that it doesn't irritate the skin. You might even put lotion on it afterwards to soothe the skin.

Love,

I've been shaving my legs for a year now and the bumps occur every time. Some of them even bleed. My skin simply will not get used to, and I've tried at least four different brands/types of razors. My face, for whatever reason, doesn't suffer from the bumps. But everywhere else does.

Two words...Bikini Zone. It's a medicated Gel (or creme) that makes those bumps go away! Usually overnight, for me. I use it all over my legs after shaving, and again once or twice the following day. It's a miracle product, and I'd recommend it to anyone who's just starting to shave new areas. It's not that expensive, well worth it for the results.

Give it a shot! The worst that can happen is you're out 5 or 6 bucks.

Hmmm sweetie,

I would expect that after a year that your legs are used to being shaved. May I suggest that you use moisturizer on your legs before you go to bed. In the morning, after a hot shower, lather your legs up good with plenty of soap. Then, carefully, slowly and lightly shave your legs. Use smooth, even, long strokes up your calves and thighs.

I hope you have better results. It seems to me that your legs are too dry when you try to shave.

Hope this helps hon :)

Oh, one more thing that I may not have made clear.....

I shave my legs practically everyday. Sometimes I go a day or two without shaving because of whatever, but I normally shave everyday.

Shaving everyday is the key to success over time. One cannot just shave once in a while. That won't work. One must shave consistently everyday.

Brenda :)

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.

      Oddly enough, just this weekend I read some of my poetry at a local event.  In this case it was a Pride group so I didn't have a particular advantage.  But I have read in more inclusive (of cis people) situations, and been fairly well received.  Let's face it, cis people do deserve an equal chance.   I suppose this might be a problem in the future.
    • Ivy
      Of course we do.  The few friends I do have are almost exclusively cis or trans women. I think I could have a relationship with a man, but he would be kinda "other" to me.  Could be interesting though. I never have understood guys - even when I was trying to be one.
