Shaving can irritate the skin, which may lead to itchy and painful red bumps. Itching after shaving may be a sign of razor burn or folliculitis. Shaving incorrectly, using a dull razor, or shaving a sensitive area of skin can all cause skin irritation. Using shaving products that contain artificial scents and harsh chemicals, such as alcohol, can irritate the skin and contribute to itchiness. People may shave for aesthetic, hygienic, or personal reasons. Regardless of the motivation, shaving provides an effective and efficient means of removing body hair.
Start With a Shower.
Take a warm shower. Warm water will soften your skin and the hairs. It will also open the hair follicles and pores, and help avoid pubic hair irritation. Wait until the end of your shower to shave.
Trim Longer Hairs First.
Trim the hair you intend to shave with scissors or clippers. This will prevent the razor from clogging or getting blunt from tackling too much hair at once; which in turn can cause razor burn.
Use Conditioner and Shaving Cream.
Massage the areas you are going to shave with hair conditioner to help soften the hair first, especially if your pubic hair is very coarse.Apply a thick shaving cream. Use a fragrance-free cream or lotion since added perfumes can cause irritation. Leave the lotion on for several minutes prior to shaving. Allowing shaving gel to sit for a few moments will further soften the hair.
Warning: Do not use ordinary soap to shave your pubic area. Soap can dry your skin and worsen irritation.
