Alright I got questions and need answers! lol
- I do use a body groomer, but I notice I get ingrown hair on my thighs which cause redness/pimple like dots and it’s kinda annoying. I will actually get it even if I don’t groom my thighs…mmm
Can I go with FlameofOrisis recommendations for my thighs with the “I use Billy Jealousy Hydroplane, the best shaving product I’ve ever used for avoiding ingrown hairs.”
Or is that mostly for the face.
So that’s for my thighs.
When I shave my face I get some irritation/pimples on my neck. The bought neutrogena face scrub exfoiliant, razor defense shave gel, post shave lotion razor defense…I think it helped a bit.
But the biggest thing that helped I really think is…shave my face after a warm/hot shower. Open’s up the pores and well it’s actually a lot easier to shave I have thick strong facial hair and it grows very fast. And using cold water afterwards to close the pores.
As well…if I shave my face…if I shave 2 days after where the hair is growing but not a full beard yet…I will get tons of irritation…but if I shave on the 5th day where I have a beard I will get little irritation. Some guys think it’s awesome to have facial hair…but I had a damn moustache in gr.8, by the time I was 16 I was already growing a beard. It’s not that cool lol

I honestly can’t answer for your thighs, because it might just be some sort of irritation and not actually ingrown hairs. If you’re not shaving, they’re definitely not ingrown hairs, though. Try rubbing some baby powder on your thighs every day. Before I started cutting, my thighs would rub together and I would even get a pretty bad rash sometimes.
I wouldn’t shave that area if you’re only trimming it now, as that might make the problem worse. The Hydroplane can be used for any area you shave. It has micro-beads in it which is why you can get such a close shave. For your facial-hair issue, I would definitely give it a try. It costs $20, but even if you shave every day, I don’t see why it wouldn’t last you over a month, at least.
Try using the new Fusion Proglide blades, too, if you’re using the regular Fusion blades, as they’re much smoother on the skin. Go with the grain first, and then against the grain while pulling your skin in the opposite direction, and if the problem persists, start using an after-shave with salicylic acid in it to free the hairs.
And yes, definitely do this after you shower. I don’t think it has to do with pores opening up, but rather with the hairs becoming much softer for the shave. [/quote]
Hey man I think you solved my problem here: I work and I do electrical - I’m constantly moving/sweating/it can be a physically demanding job (depending what your doing) but I’m 85% of the time doing hard shit lol So the pants rubbing against my thighs is the culprit here.
The body groomer I use, it cuts pretty close to the skin. It leaves 2mm of hair left, so it’s pretty close and I’m not going to shave right down…I don’t really even like the look of going to 2mm, I like the look after a week and a half where it has grown back just a little bit. I will definately try rubbing baby powder on them though everyday this week for work and see what happens after I trim. Thank you for this advice.
Facial hair. There’s no way I could shave everyday I really think my facial hair is just too thick for that. I also only shave going with the grain…never against it…even after shaving with the grain…mm I don’t mind the facial hair thing much…like I said what I’ve been doing has helped my neck a lot and if I shave on the 5th day no irritation. Again thanks for the advice!
