Re: Shaving (Women): Help?
(Anonymous) 2013-03-25 04:49 am (UTC)(link)When shaving under my arms I always go with the grain, not against. It's not as clean a shave that way, but my under-arms are too sensitive to go against the grain and whenever I used to I would get killer razor burn.
My hair is pretty coarse, so after about two weeks I have to throw my razor out and use another. That really depends on the time of year, though. If it's winter my razors last longer because I don't shave my legs as often since they're going to be covered by pants. During the summer I shave more often because I'm wearing skirts, capris and occasionally bathing suits. I just go by number of shaves. After I've shaved my legs four times with a razor, it's time for a new one. If your hair is less coarse, your razor will probably last longer.
I can tell when a razor is going dull because it's harder to shave with it. I have to press harder, and less hair comes away from a single stroke. I can also feel it tugging a bit. When that happens, it's definitely time for a new razor.
When it comes to deodorant causing irritation, it depends on the deodorant. If it's scented, it'll occasionally feel uncomfortable, especially if I've used a dull razor or nicked myself. Not so much for the unscented deodorants.
There are a few things that will definitely prevent razor burn:
1. Never use a dull razor. That causes razor burn, and it also causes ingrown hairs.
2. Don't try to shave dry. Get the part of your body you're shaving nice and damp, with warm and not cold water.
2. Use shaving cream. Sometimes a soap with a really good lather works too, but not as well and when I do that because I've run out of shaving cream, I do occasionally get razor burn.
