-- Posted by Lauraaaa at 7:21 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Everytime I shave my legs I get razor burn really badly. I have tried everything, super sharp razors, regular razors, exfoliating before my shower, and perfumeless lotion. I dont understand why Im still getting it. Does anyone know anything else that I could try? -- Posted by La Motta at 7:23 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Bite them off!! -- Posted by Nightshade09 at 7:23 am on Nov. 21, 2008 shave tha opposit way the hair is growing thats how i get a close shave when i gotta shave my mostache -- Posted by Aqueous at 7:24 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Wax? -- Posted by Lauraaaa at 7:24 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from jzbaby at 7:24 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Wax? but that hurts, right? -- Posted by S K A at 7:25 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from Lauraaaa at 7:24 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from jzbaby at 7:24 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Wax? but that hurts, right? Suck it up. -- Posted by amara at 7:25 am on Nov. 21, 2008 I get razor burn alot too, put in other areas I started using mens razor blades, and always use shaving cream. When I first start shaving I go in the direction that the hair grows, just to get my skin used to the blades, then go against the direction of the hair for a smooth finish. It seems to work for me. -- Posted by santana 08 at 7:26 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from Nightshade09 at 7:23 am on Nov. 21, 2008 shave tha opposit way the hair is growing thats how i get a close shave when i gotta shave my mostache dont do this. this CAUSES razor burn and ingrown hairs. the only advice id give you is wax cuz it seems like you've done everything else. just suck it up...a few minutes of pain for weeks of hairless legs...worth it -- Posted by holodeck87 at 7:26 am on Nov. 21, 2008 You can use a hair conditioner (the one you use on your own head of hair works). It softens the skin first. I used to have the same problem. Just be sure to wash your legs with body soap afterwards or you will get ingrown hairs (also NO fun!) -- Posted by Ivan23 at 7:27 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from amara at 10:25 am on Nov. 21, 2008 I get razor burn alot too, put in other areas   I started using mens razor blades, and always use shaving cream.

Does using shaving creme really help? I usually use moisturizing soap. -- Posted by Aqueous at 7:27 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from Lauraaaa at 10:24 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from jzbaby at 7:24 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Wax? but that hurts, right?

BUT....get it done professionally, don't do it yourself...that could end up worse then razor burn. -- Posted by amara at 7:48 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from Ivan23 at 9:27 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Quote: from amara at 10:25 am on Nov. 21, 2008 I get razor burn alot too, put in other areas  I started using mens razor blades, and always use shaving cream.
