Members Bugs0825 Posted February 13, 2008 Members Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hey guys,I was just wondering if anyone had tips on how to prevent itching after a guy shaves. My wife shaves and hates hair. I have enough for both of us and thought that I would surprise her for V-Day ( along with some other stuff ). I did shave a few years ago but the itch drove me crazy and I could not stand it. I really wanna do this for many reasons that others have posted here but mostly for her. Maybe this will help me with my other post. Bugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cfhayback Posted February 13, 2008 Members Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 The itch goes away the more you shave... I never itch anymore. If you're new to it, I recommend an after-shave lotion. Soothes, and softens the skin, and can be re-applied as the itch occurs. Favorites are 1) l'Occitane Cade after shave balm and 2) Anthony after shave soother. Both are available through better skincare departments in department stores, or online.Good luck, that itch is awful... but this too will pass.

Members thunderchild Posted February 14, 2008 Members Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 How about for women? I shaved Saturday from fully grown to bare then shaved again Tuesday. I will probably shave again tomorrow (as hubby is not working, YAY!) I have looked for an aftershave balm but they are all for males. In the UK we have nothing for the ladies in that department, ignorance I suppose. I think I will buy some aloe vera lotion and see how I get on. I want to stay shaved as hubby really likes it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stillmore2learn Posted February 14, 2008 Members Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 While not a "sexpert," I'll chime in on this one. I've been shaving for about two years now and have found that the best way to do it is with a regular disposable razor, in a warm shower. I used to go through the trouble of shaving lotion, etc., but I've found that the simplest way, at least for me, is to use lathered-up soap, much like my wife does with her legs. The "itching" is something that took about a week to get used to but now, it's become part of my routine, and I shave nearly on a daily basis. To sooth the irritation, I simply use body lotion on the affected parts immediately after showering, and I haven't itched for a long, long, time. You get used to it, if you can overcome the first week or two. Hang in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cfhayback Posted February 14, 2008 Members Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 For the new shavers, whose bodies/skin are not used to the trauma... lotion is vital... Use a guys product... It's fine.The marketing departments of the maker of those lotions are missing out on a big segment of the market. I bet they catch on soon...

Members jennycherie Posted February 14, 2008 Members Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 has anyone here tried the Coochie after shave mist? I've been thinking of giving that a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ToyQueen Posted February 14, 2008 Members Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I use the Coochie after shave mist. I really like it. It puts a protective layer down when it dries that helps cut down on the itching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bugs0825 Posted February 16, 2008 Author Members Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Thanks guys for all the input. My wife had a tooth yanked Thursday morning so that kinda killed my plans for v-day night. I will get out and pick up some of the after shave and start hacking soon. Thanks again,Bugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyger Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I would also recommend that you use some sort of moisturizing shaving lotion, or, like I use, some moisturizing hair conditioner to shave with. It sounds like you may have dry skin, which can be caused by shaving.Best wishes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mailahn97 Posted February 20, 2008 Members Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I just shaved for the first time as well. I did not tell him at all that I was doing it. Well I just sent him pics of me being completely shaved. Mind you I forgot he was having a conference call at 11. Well I sent it to him about 10:45. In the title I told him to open when he was alone, because there are always people in and out of his office. Well he opened it during the conference call and dropped the phone. So when he picked the phone up someone asked him if he was alright...he was like ya I am fine....if they only knew. He called me as soon as the call was done. I wasn't paying attention to the caller id...all I hear is oh my god....sweet. Needless to say he loves it.I said to him...well I am guessing you like it. He was like no let me correct you I love it.
