okay, i know this question is asked a lot and people always say to shave in the direction the hair grows. well i do. but it doesnt get all the hair. and so when i switch directions i obviosly get the red bumps and it bleeds a little. i want to use a good cream amd i heard that noxzema is really good. any tips would be great because i've never had a successful shave without any bumps or a little blood.

A large problem of the irritation could be the razor. I would recommend a Venus. They're very good razors.
Also, as soon as you're finished shaving, dry off the area and apply lotion. Lotion every day!

First of all , you have to warm u p really well, another word, stay in the heated shower for a while before you shave. This way you let the pores to open up, to avoid the irritation!
Then use only dry raizor, and use the shaving cream for sensitive skin.What I mean is, after you use the raizor, make shure you do not leave it in the shower, just take it out, and make shure it is dry.
it should help!
