I heard that after shaving in the hairy basement ur skin can get iritated and itchy? 10 POINTS for best answer

i refuse to wax that area, and i trim but i feel like my long term boyfriend still remains hesitant when exploring that area, because of it.








i want to try shaving, but i've heard that after shaving your skin can become iritated and itchy. Is this always the case?








Will a certain method or shaving cream prevent this from happening?

Well a lot of it depends on your skin. I have really sensitive skin and when I first started shaving (about 8 years ago) for the first few months I had some razor burn, ingrown hairs, and itching- as that skin was not used to being shaved. With time though, it "toughened up". I still shave daily with no problems. My best suggestion if you try it is to make sure you have a high quality SHARP razor, shaving cream (I like gel best), and warm water. It works best if the hair is softened a little first so a nice soak in a warm bath beforehand really helps with that. Also, if the hair is on the longer side, using scissors before you shave may make it easier. Afterwards, you may have some irritation but the more you do it the more any problems you may have had will lessen. I am so used to it I could not imagine hair down there now! Anyway, hope I could help!!!

Reply:it doesnt really get too irritated if you do it often and get used to it. just make sure you do use a lot of shaving cream. it only really itches if you start to let it grow out





good luck!

Reply:It depends on the person...


for me it just felt itchy the first couple times, but then my skin got used to it and it doesn't itch anymore.


If you shave right, it won't itch at all.
Reply:usually you cant get rid of the itch when the hair is growing back, but if you irritate the skin vaseline will do the trick. i've been shavin for ten years now. ten years sounds like a long time to me now lol
Reply:It will be fine if you keep it up. The first time you do it might get a bit red but just put talc on it and it will be fine.
Reply:yes and no





when shaving make sure your not shaving bare skin to blade...put some shaving cream on the area.


also be gentle as this area is very sensitive.


i suggest shaving in a downward motion. shaving upward causes irritation.


make sure the razor isnt dull.


using a sharp razor while shaving in a downward motion and be gentle will reduce the irritation...hope i helped
