Everytime I shave "down there", I get bad itchy razor burn. Even when I use a ton of shaving cream! Sometimes I'll shave and everything's okay for the first half hour, then the razor burn appears. I don't want my boyfriend to be grossed out! What's a good way to prevent razor burn? Or a fast way to make it go away faster?

Exfoliating before you shave loosens up the follicles and prevents ingrown hairs which are really nasty-looking. And shave downward..a lot of girls make the mistake of shaving the same way they shave their legs. I usually use Veet mousse for like 2 minutes before I shave because it loosens up the follicles, and then makes shaving much easier and quicker. [ amarand's advice column | Ask amarand A Question ]

Make sure you are using real warm, or relatively hot water and let it run on you for a good amount of time while you are in the shower before you shave. the longer you wait, the better. then, make sure you use a good shaving cream. one with a built in moisturizer is best. then proceed to shave with a razor that has a lotion strip on it. that works very well. also, afterwards, put a cream or lotion that is safe to use down there. i hope this helps.
