How to Stop razorburn

[theoak01]

i get it dam bad under my armpits when i shave and it stays for a week or more,the thing is im going away this week and need to fix it,so any suggestions will be appreciated

 

[Big Buck]

That's the only part of the body I don't shave. I just trim them w/ clippers.

RUBBING ALCOHOL.................after you shave. works on my happy trail.

 

[theoak01]

its a pain to shave them every 3 days and just to get more razor burn,its not cool,rubbing alcohol just sounds painful

 

[AGENT SHAGWELL]

Hey Oak, can you really do the splits?

 

[moe dank]

It doesnt hurt you big pussy......lol just kiddin bro

 

[JustinM]

are you being seious about rubbing acolohol or do you want get a good laugh when it burns like hell..i dont always get raiser burn but i usualy get like one or 2 bumps..still pretty ugly

over time your skin gets used to it and you will stop getting it. or just set fire to your skin periodically to remind you what real pain is. or sandpaper.

like buck said, I just clipper mind down and it gets nearly all of it.

I get it on my neck so bad that I'm having it permanently removed with a laser. I've had two treatments so far. I've got probably 2 or 3 more to go.

i never used to get it...then i didnt shve for a year, and when i finally did i broke out in pimples....it was a delayed reaction, like 10hrs after i shave and i dousedmy skin in very high alcohol aftershave, so maybe it was an allergic reaction or something.

but i did find using alcohol or aftershave or TCP afterwards helped....u will get used to the stinging

 

[moe dank]

are you serious!!!!!!!!!

I use the shit twice a week and it beats the hell out of a bunch of red dots all over the place! Pain is getting hit by a fucking airplane not a little stinging for a couple seconds.............bunch of girls

 

[theoak01]

i can no longer do the spilts as i dont play hockey or stretch anymore

 

[JustinM]

plifter how much is this procedure.i would consider getting it all over my body except my head because i hate hair...are you doing electrolysis??

thanks


and also is this procedure removing the hair or preventing burn??

 

[JustinM]

so your being serious about th rubbing alcolhol?

 

[theoak01]

i will try the alcohol thanks guys,lets hope i have nice armpits for the next few weeks

 

[AGENT SHAGWELL]

i can no longer do the spilts as i dont play hockey or stretch anymore

oh....too bad

 

[HappyScrappy]

if I recall correctly the bumps are a combination of a small infection and/or ingrown hairs. I have no idea how the alcohol would help with ingrown hairs, but it likely staves off any infection caused by them.
I know that is why Nads is supposedly evil b/c it causes the infections and hence the bumps.
sure did for me and as a bonus it hurt like hell too.

OKOKOKOK

Yes the alcohol works! I dont know why but people use it for that, i use it for that, and it does help ingrown hairs as well. Is it magic............time will tell

 

[danielson]

theres a british made invention soon to be developed

it uses inkjet technology (miniture hose ) to spray fine jets off water/lubricant on your skin and an oscillating razor blade to chop off the hair (similar to thouse cutting instruments made to oscillate by ultrasound exceptthis uses v.low frequency)....it cuts better than wet shaving and is machine powered and should stop all irritation...lets hope it gets on the shelves soon!

Witch Hazel does the same thing as alcohol (has alcohol in it)
but the witchhazel buffers the skin, makes it easier to take.
I use it a lot down here because the heat makes my skin oily.
WitchHazel is great for putting on a klenex or paper towel and "degreasing" your face.
It also comes in a container of pads, called Hazelletes.

 

[HappyScrappy]

isn't wd-40 good for degreasing?

 

[harddtime]

this is kinda of a before measure, i used to always get razor burns on my stomach and chest but then i came up with this bright idea of using my Avita cream (prescription acne medication) since i don't have acne anymore for my razor burns, works great. Never get them anymore, maybe ask you doctor about it, just don't say it's for razor burns.

Question???

Oak, i have a question......

what made you start shaving your pits? Just wondering, cause I thought you were about 160lbs or so..... doesn't that look a little weird?

Maybe I'll shave one of mine, then shave the other if I think it looks good..heh..heh..
