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.

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆
