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.

      I'm thinking about some interactions yesterday I did, while presenting as male but acting as female, that were far better than I did when I was presenting as male and acting as male.  #girlunderhood. I do a crappy job at acting as male and I am giving it up.  I am not talking about feminine gestures or presentation but just relating as a woman.  People don't realize I am doing it but it is a whole lot easier to do.   You don't just put on a dress and BOOM you are a girl.  You are a girl and you put on a dress.  Or not. Whether I am in jeans or a skirt (I wish, wife would have lots to say) I am a girl.  I don't need $250 in makeup and heels and hose and all that.  I don't need surgery. Honey, I have arrived.  Now I have to work out how that best works in my life, causing the minimal damage and creating the maximum good, but I have more working room.   Oh, and I am still pissed off at everyone and everything. #Contradictory.

      @Willow it is certainly possible that my husband planned it. Placing me in the path of an opportunity....he certainly does things like that. GF has done some work for the company as an outside consultant, so I'm sure the company owner knows what potential resources are around.    It could also have just happened randomly. He has taken me to work with him before, just because he likes to have me around. I remember one time that I fell asleep with my head in his lap, and he held a meeting with his subordinates without waking me and making me move.  The company culture is family oriented and relaxed.

      The photo is great.  Software is phenomenal but it also is sort of a promise of things to come. Years ago this sort of thing took a photographer and Photoshop and all sorts of things and you would say, "I can look like THIS??"   Me, I am a duck.  That's from my driver's license.  Just kidding.

      I lucked into that picture. I took like 10 before that, which appropriately make me look like a donkey. ;)   Thank you so much for the compliment!

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Mindy, that would be so awesome of you.  Please make the edit for me, and thank you so much!

      M.   The term bigender works for me because after taking the time to explore my feelings, I kept coming to the same conclusion, that while I felt an overpowering need to express my inner woman, I also enjoyed being a man.  I realized that my personality was equal parts man and woman and to be happy and fulfilled, I needed to express both sides.  There are challenges living a life of two-gender expression, but I'll expand on some of those in future posts.     Hugs,   Sally

      Sally, a moderator can edit the post adding "Post 3" if you would like. Let me know and I'll be glad to take care of it. That way your numbering system is in tact.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I thought Hey, I can't be experiencing Gender destroyer because it doesn't fit the narrative, but Hey I can. I am experiencing mild discomfort in relation to my gender. Because and that can be a form of mild form of it this forum because their elements of my gender that are out of alignment with my sign gender at birth. There are elements of my gender I have been holding back on some I did not even know for fear it did not fit was told was not very manly or in some other way not correct for someone who is an amab. I tried embracing and expressing some of these parts of me even for just a little bit every once in a while and it feels like a relief to me like a weight has been lifted.
