Fallout Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Ok don't make fun of me on this one...well not too much fun please lol So I like to shave my pubic area...haven't in a while but that's not the point. My problem is that I shaved my balls as well twice and it hurt like HELL when the hair started to grow back up....I mean itchy beyond belief, it was a pain to even walk lol so my question is...does it itch less every time you shave there until it won't itch at all, or is it something that has specifically to do with ma type of hair ? I used a Gilette Mach 3 blade btw if that makes any difference.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q10 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 It gets better when you do it a couple of times as far as I know, not sure if it's because of a "type of hair" or not. But I think you'll get used to if after a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarnelianButterfly Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 My skin always itches after shaving, but I have sensitive skin. I found using lotion twice a day helps and there's a cream called Bikini Zone that is great for soothing the bumps and itch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallout Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Thanks for the replies guys...and girl but it's not my skin that itches...I'm perfectly fine for a couple of days the horror starts when the hair starts growing back...I did use some dove body lotion the 2nd time but it didn't help too much... Should I try it again knowing I haven't shaved there in several months ? I would if the pain goes away after a few times..anyone else with experience on this ?

vandgsmom Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Well, whatever it is that itches (what else would be itching???) the cream can't hurt... And why shave if it causes you misery?? Women DO NOT demand that their men shave their testicles... that just sounds abnormal to me anway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jilligirl Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 i don't know about the itching part (i don't have balls lol)-- but maybe you can just trim it really short instead of shaving it? as for your hair growing back in, hm, that's very interesting. i really can't say why it would itch. maybe it's not from your skin growing back, but maybe it takes your skin a few days to start feeling the itchiness after shaving? i dunno. when i shave my legs and "that area" i lather myself with soap first, then put the shaving cream on over it. i have sensitive skin, and it makes shaving less harsh on my skin. also, i get a better shave.

Aurian Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Its probably the hair getting to be "ingrowns" perhaps? I itch kinda badly after a few days myself when I shave because the hair kept getting "stuck" under the skin. An electric razor worked better than the other kind for some reason. Maybe because it wasn't as close and/or wasn't shaving the skin too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallout Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 Ok thanks for the replies....guess I'll just trim them then since it's not sure the pain will fade...pretty boring and time consuming to shave them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
