Shaving Bumps and Rashes


Guest

Recommended Posts

I get a shaving rash over a couple couple parts of my body, lucky i guess since I shave my whole body daily. I ran across a product that had great reviews so I bought it.

You apply it a couple times a day at first, over the problem areas until healed and then once a day after shaving. This product, called Bikini Zone is pretty miraculous. I've been using it for a couple weeks and while I'm not totally healed, it is orders of magnitude better than before.

I will continue using it and feel secure in recommending it to other people with similar problems.

Hey Fiona,

You're a lucky girl finding the time to shave your entire body daily. I only find time to do it once a week. Wish the hormones would hurry up and make that unnecessary. By the way what sort of bike do you have? I've got an Aprilia 1000cc v twin. Hardly ever ride it nowadays since I'm preoccupied with transitioning stuff which I'm finding really does consume you're whole life. Mind you I cane the backside off it when I do get on!

I have to make time. I get up earlier in the morning, which sucks, but I'm totally uncomfortable with not shaving. I spend around 45min in the shower a day. Little longer sometimes to take more time and just enjoy the process, as much as you can enjoy such things. Lol

Did I mention my bike? I dont recall doing that, I must be turning blonde. LoL!! It's a 2007 HD softailt custom (FXSTC). I haven't been able to ride since my back/neck problem began a year ago. It's 1600cc and obviousy a V-Twin. :)

Hi Fiona,

Nothing sinister about me knowing you're into bikes - it's listed as one of your interests under your avatar photo! lol

Seriously large motor in that bike. You can probably just use top gear everywhere! Pity you can't ride it at the moment. Hope your back problems improve soon. I was off work once for about 3 weeks with excruciating pain in my back - not nice.

I shave in the bath once a week. It takes literally all afternoon one day of the weekend. It really is a pain.

I'd love to do it every day because I think it would improve things massively and if I did it for 1hr a day it would be great - just can't see me doing that at the moment though.

My body hair situation is improving all the time. I haven't really got to the point where I don't need tights but I'm getting there. Seeing hair on my developing boobs is pretty gross and I really hate that.

Can't wait to get my srs since I think that will stop it once and for all.

The main shaving issue I have had is with ingrowing hairs as I use electric shavers (I have half a dozen, using each for ideal parts of the body) and epilator. After seeing a post here recommending Witch Hazel I looked around and found some Tea Tree and Witch Hazel foaming face wash (Boots). This seems to have improved things no end as, although the ingrowing hairs still occur, the resultant inflamation clears quickly.

Using each shaver in the ideal loaction for it's design means that I can shave fairly quickly, only needing to take more care in sensitive areas. I have also planned a bit and often do areas at differing times.

Hahahaha, duh! I forgot about my profile. LOL

My showers take me 30-40 minutes for a complete body shave. Yeah, having to get up a half hour earlier sucks, but I can't stand not being all smooth. :)

Ugh, there's only one 'area' that I use an electric, and it takes FOREVER! But I only do it around once a week......

Haha, I thought it was only me who had 'blonde' moments on the site!

I use a disposable razor even 'down there'. It was fairly gruesome for quite a while - texas chainsaw massacre style! - but cleans up quite quickly now.

The older I get the more 'blonde' moments I see, to have. LOL

Before using the Bikini Zone for a while, shaving 'down there', created what looked like a crime scene. LOL It's still not totally nick free, it's so much better.

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!
