Question:
Hair Removal Problems
Hi
Due to the sun being out at last I feel the only one who seems to be self conscious when showing skin mainly because of shaving problems. Whenever I try to shave under my arms or my legs I either get a horrible rash, my skin looks all prickly and most certainly the next day the stubble seems to be showing. It's a particular problem with underneath my arms. Has anyone got any suggestions at all? I would love to go prancing around in a bikini on holiday but just feel so self conscious about excess hair or obvious stubble rash showing.
I have tried waxing before and thought the results were good. The only problem though is you need to grow the hair again to a certain length before going back.

What do you use to shave with? If you use a disposable razor and soap/showergel you could experiment with a shaving oil or gel or even some hair conditioner! I also find the Venus razors pretty good. You could also try smoothing on some aloe vera gel afterwards to soothe any irritation. Tesco Skin Wisdom used to do a gel specifically for post-hair removal but I'm not sure if you can still get it.
As for under your arms, I find Dove Deodorant really good for making them look exposable.

It's really really painful, but what about epilating? I have the same problem, terrible stubble, but if I manage to epilate every 2-3 months it makes my stubble grow back a lot finer and more manageable for shaving.
I'd reccommend getting p*ssed first though. :cmdunno:
You can also use it with hairs shorter than you need for waxing.
I'm the same :head: never found anything that suited me though I can't be doing with waxing and waiting to be a hairy monster to do it again and epilating is evil :eek: so went back to the razor..I always get razor rash and have experimented with variant shaving creams, lotions etc...I never have completely smooth legs but I've just come to accept it :lol: I'm going to a wedding on Friday night and wearing a short dress and I'll have to shave my legs tomorrow night there is no way I could do it beforehand and then wear the dress as I'd have a rash for sure. By Saturday morning my legs will need doing again... :rolleyes:
I have the same problem too. I seem to get shaving rashes so quicky, Even when i wax i seem to get a huge prominent rash :boohoo:
I just stick to shaving my legs, and just moisturising them with veet hair minimiser cream which has aloe vera in it! I have a problem with under arm hair too, it grows back so quick and my skin looks very dark underneath, i have tried waxing, and not only does it hurt, but it does not help very much.. such a pain :(
