hey everyone,
first post. I have searched the database and looked in the FAQ but have not been able to find any posts with a solution to ingrown hair for men. I use a mach 3 and gillete sensitive skin gel and shave everything. For the first day after shaving my junk is smooth as a baby's bum, but after the second or third day i start getting lots of ingrown hairs on the inside of my thighs and above my penis and it gets very raw and hurts like a bitch. I shave against the grain because me and my gf like it smooooooth. I also itch alot when i shave with the grain because it still leaves a little stubble behind. I moisturize every day after i get out of the shower with a generic unscented lotion as well. Any advice or reccomendations of products would be greatly appreciated.

All I know is that the Mach 3 gives my face razor burn like a mother, so i stopped using it. It just shaves too much, and I got tons of ingrowns on my neck.

As for shaving your junk w/o irritation, buy an electric 'personal' shaver (different from beard shavers). Lots of adult online stores sell them, and they claim to not irritate.

Use a female razor, because they are better for delicate areas, one with a blade that has some movement is best. The one good thing about disposable razors is that they are disposable.

you could try googling it .. here is a link to get you started - Ingrown Hair

if you got the dough you could consider permanent removal - Pulsed Light Hair Removal.

Check out some ther places and needless to say don't believe everything you read .. use your good judgement

I chose to grow a beard..

For personal shavers I recommend the Seiko Cleancut. To relieve itching down under try using Gold Bond Powder.

Take a look at the [ invalid url ] spray. (You'll need to click on "Hair Removal - Kalo" at the left, then scroll down a bit. Annoyingly, it's in a frame. The direct link is [ invalid url ] but you'll lose the rest of the Web site if you go to it specifically.)

I've never used it myself (although I am considering it) but I can't seem to find any negative comments on this product.

This, and others, are discussed at Kitty's Consumer Beware discussion forums.

Currently, I'm using a combination of the Emjoi Optima (also shown at the above Kalo site, but here's the manufacturer's page) and the Feather Touch which was mentioned earlier (it's effectively the same thing as the Seiko Cleancut - I think a slightly newer version if I've read things correctly).

The Emjoi is a bit painful, especially on my chest and lower stomach/groin area - although I've only used it a couple of times now and, apparently, it gets easier with time). I haven't yet summoned the courage to use it on the really sensitive areas. It also leaves me a bit irritated (most particularly my chest), hence my research into the Kalo product.

The Feather Touch is awesome (highly recommended) - but it has the drawbacks of needing to be used every day or two, and taking a while to do any large area.

All I know is that you should never shave against the grain. Must it be perfectly smooth? Just buy a beard clipper. It's not the closest shave, but it does the job.

Would concur with Nietszche. Use a clipper, beard or hair, that way u'll be fine.

Plus if I might add, who wants to put anything as sharp as razor blade near their balls?

Just the thought makes mine tense up into two pea sized spheres.

ouch

the best way to prevent ingrown hair is to use a loufa (sp?) on the days when you don't shave. this keeps the stubble hairs from growing back into the skin. i also use one just before shaving to get all the hairs away from the skin and ready for removal.

for those who don't know, a loufa is basically a natural sponge, very porous. you can buy them at any bath/body shop - most pharmacies have them too.

I shave the ole bits and pieces and would like to contribute this little gem: it seems to work best if you start off trimming the whole area with a beard trimmer or clippers first (already mentioned) on the pubis and inner thighs. Not down to stubble, but to where it's still soft but not curly.

Then, I only use *USED* disposable razors on my sack and shaft -- ones that are too dull for my face and neck seem to work great down there.

You can put a lot more pressure on with the used disposable than a new one and don't get nicked nearly as often (I can't remember the last time). Also, the blades that have the wires over the top (I think the women's razors mentioned here, probably made by Schick and/or Gillette may be of this type) do protect against cuts, but I can't ever get as close with these as with used blades.

You can shave with and against the grain with used razors, you just have to do it a little harder. But that's OK, I do this all the time and rarely get so much as a nick no matter how hard I shave.

I also found after-shave lotion (not cologne -- AGGGGGHHHH!!), like Edge Gel or something else with moisturizers, helps with the burn and itch, but I must be immune because it really doesn't happen any more. I don't get ingrown hairs, either. So either I'm a freak (granted) or there's something to this -- give it a try!

Better be committed once you start doing this, though, is all I can say. Regrowth sucks!
