Red Bumps and Spots answer
Return to DiscussionsWhen you look at my at pictures you will see I am totally smooth. I
shave every day using a Gillett Mach 5 - yes 5 blades over my bits and bobs was
a bit scary when I first did it - but using Crabtree & Evelyn ordinary
shaving soap and a brush everyday has stopped the red spots and bumps. You must
shave every day to avoid them, and if you forget once in 8 days you won't get
them, but I found not shaving on a Saturday am did bring back the spots, and so
6 days between did not work so shave every day, and shave well to get rid of
all the hair. You will discover that this system, will and, should eliminate
the problem. Stick with it, all the best, Francis the real Nudey.
I'll go along with the shaving everyday helps to avoid red bumps comments. If I do miss a day there is more chance of the red bumps appearing just to the sides of my pubic area, at the top of my thighs which is where I get them, its only those areas that I tend to get the spots, elsewhere seems to be OK if I miss a day or two.
I'll also second the use of conditioner as being good for lubricating the areas to be shaved, working it in like a shaving creme/gel on my face so as the hair has a chance to be really softened well. Though as stated above it can make holding on to your bits and bobs a bit tricky due to the slipperiness.
