Try an electric razor and make sure to exfoliate / moisturize. Game changer!

Use an oil to shave!! The more lubricated you are the better!!!

Tree hut pre-shave scrub, and then their shaving oil! If you’re feeling fancy, lotion after and then add a body oil :)

Moisturizing for me was the most important thing after shaving also most aftershaves imo are not good for skin

1. EXFOLIATE. get a good scrubby towel (i personally hate using body scrubs like the tree huts bc u cant rlly exfoliate the lips without getting all that fragrance and what not in areas it shouldnt be) and exfoliate the day of shaving and the showers leading up to the shave. Dead skin cells left on the skin can cause more ingrowns. 2. Get a food sharp razor. I personally say screw all the venus and literally any womans razor ever and get a goods men razor. I like Harrys bc theyre made

for thicker courser hair. U also dont have to buy a new razor everytime just razor head replacements. 3. Shave in the direction of hair growth, then from middle outwards, then against. If u need more tips on how to get hard to reach areas i also gotchu 4. Aloe vera has been my secret post shave ingredient to rarely ever getting razor bumps. Use a 100% aloe vera (not one of the green dyed ones with added fragrances) and use that as ur post shave moisturizer. 5. Continue to gently exfoliate in

the showers after the shave. GENTLY esp when ur still bald and stubbly since it can tug and be a little uncomfy if ur scrubbing rlly hard. Also helps to rub in the downwards direction as to not be scrubbing against the grain. Hopefully that all helped, the harrys razors and aloe vera tips r two things i have recommended to some girl friends irl and theyve both come back to me sharing how it rlly did make a difference for them:)
