Reddit reviews Shaveworks The Cool Fix, Post Waxing and Shaving Solution for Ingrown Hair, Razor Bumps and Razor Burns, 5.3 Fl Oz. Recommended by Khloé Kardashian

Here are some things that work for me:

1. Norelco Bodygroomer - This is a great trimmer that can manage trimming and shaving. The shaving head is very mild and does not cause a lot of irritation. The trimmer does a great job as well. This is my go to for shaving the hair right above my dick... Where the skin is the most sensitive.
   
   
2. Gillette Venus razor - this is my wife's razor but it does an AMAZING job. It's super mild and I don't get nicks. I mainly use it on my shaft and testicles to get that super close shave. I get some razor burn if I use this razor for the area above my dick.
   
   
3. Shaveworks Cool Fix- This is a great aftershave for "down there." A little goes a long way. I love it.
   
   
4. Body Powder - I really like this stuff. Helps keep everything smooth and soft if you decide to shave down to the skin. It helps reduce irritation from clothing that your pubic hair helps prevent. This brand of body powder does not have talcum powder in it. There is some questionable evidence that links talcum powder with cervical cancer (only occurs in women). The data is not super convincing but I don't want to put my partners at risk so I use this band. BUT, the body powders WITH talc are so much smoother!!
   
   Hopefully that helps a little bit. I have found that pushing through a little bit of razor burn was worth it as my skin got more used to the shaving. But, from day to day, things tend to vary.

I had this issue for a long time. I tried a bunch of products that worked for awhile (like Tend Skin, which worked but really dried out my face) but never found anything long lasting. I tried DE shaving and while that helped, it was a negligible difference and very time consuming to lather a soap. I finally found a routine that worked out well for me.

I use a combination of Dollar Shave Club products, Alum, and a Shaveworks gel. Heres what I do:

1.) I take a shower and while I'm in the shower I use a face wash from DSC. https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/our-products/clean/daily-face-cleanser

2.) After I'm done washing my face, I exfoliate my face using a DSC prep scrub. https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/our-products/shave/prep-scrub

3.) After I get out of the shower, I pat my face dry with a clean towel and rub on 4 pumps of DSC shave oil. I let it soak into my face for like 15 seconds or so. https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/our-products/shave/pre-shave-oil

4.) I use DSC shave butter on my face and neck. I use a good amount of it. I let it soak on my face for like 15 seconds. https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/our-products/shave/shave-butter

5.) I shave and I'm very careful about the direction in which I shave in. There's some areas of my face and neck that never get irritated so I can go against the grain there to get a closer shave. There's other areas that I have to be careful with because they're super sensitive (Like under the corners of my mouth). As for a blade, I'm subscribed to Harry's and I'm very happy with them. I tried DSC before but I found their blades and handles to be cheap and that the blades got dull faster.

6.) After I'm done shaving a splash cold water on my face and Pat dry with a clean towel. I then run warm water over an alum block and rub it all over my face. I let my face dry after I rub the alum block on it (like 2-3 minutes or so), rinse my face with cold water, and pat dry with a clean towel. https://www.amazon.com/Gentleman-Jon-Ounce-Block-Plastic/dp/B00FA35K02/ref=sr_ph_1_s_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1478815659&sr=sr-1&keywords=alum+block

7.) This is the key step for me. I found this product like a month ago and I don't have as many issues with redness or ingrown hairs at all anymore. I use Shaveworks The Cool Fix on my face after every shave. I actually use it after I wash my face every morning and night. I love the way it makes my face feel and it keeps my face very clean. If nothing else, try this out. https://www.amazon.com/Shaveworks-Cool-Fix-5-3-oz/dp/B002UVU7HS/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1478815819&sr=1-1&keywords=shaveworks%2Bthe%2Bcool%2Bfix&th=1

8.) After the Shaveworks dries, I put on DSC after shave balm. https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/our-products/shave/post-shave

9.) Then after the after shave balm dries, I put on DSC facial moisturizer that has SPF in it. Love this stuff too. https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/our-products/protect/face-moisturizer

I know this is a ton of steps and a ton of different products, but I had issues VERY similar to yours for years and it really sucked. My face was constantly irritated. But through trial and error, I was able to find this routine and it's been great for me. Hopefully it'll help you.

Body shave gel... swimmers use it, safe everywhere. Gilette body is good.

Usually better to use body razor/trimmer (face hair and body hair are different), but a regular one will "get the job done".

I got a personal shaver to get what was left, use with talc (optional)

Lastly, follow with Shaveworks The Cool Fix to reduce irritation/bumps

If you want your hole beight and shiny like a porn star's ass, bumper brite supposedly lightens the hole for a more even/smoothed out skin tone

Source: literally my meet-prep kit when i swam (light competitive). Minus bumper brite, im not sure about that, and idk what the long-term use side effects are, use with caution.

I was considering waxing because I get HORRIBLE razor burn the day after shaving and it looks awful. I decided to try one last thing before I decided to try waxing, and it worked amazingly. It's called The Cool Fix and a small bottle is ten bucks. It's just like a lotion after shave, and you can use it everyday. I literally don't get any razor burn with this stuff. It's awesome.

The advice I got from the esthetician I went to a few times for Brazilians was to physically exfoliate every other day after a wax as well as use some kind of aftershave. I used an exfoliating glove and The Cool Fix and never had any kind of reaction afterwards.

I've struggled a lot with ingrown hair over the years, but I changed everything up 3-4 months ago and have gotten good success. In pursuit of better shaves and skin I changed razors from disposable mach 3s to a DE safety razor and have gotten good shaves, but changing up what products I used probably have made as much difference. Specifically, I had great success with the cool fix, once or twice daily, and REN scrub 3-4x weekly. Otherwise, how is your shave technique? A few small changes there could make a world of difference.

I use The Cool Fix as my aftershave treatment, as per a recommendation of one of my lady friends (what better place to learn how to treat razor burn than a lady?), and it works phenomenally. It will sting like hell, but it does a remarkable job of calming down the howling winds of Hell blowing on your neck. It also makes your face feel really smooth to increase the BBS / DFS.

Should NOT pick at it. Let it heal.

I found this works for me, but ymmv: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002UVU7HS

If you have a local Sephora, they would probably hook you up with a sample.

I’m a big fan of Shaveworks Cool Fix. It’s like an astringent lotion.

1. Pre-shave oil.
   
2. Stick your neck straight out like a weird ass bird while you shave there to make it as flat as possible
   
3. Some sort of post-shave balm shit (I use The Cool Fix and it works great.)

I have a hot shower before, thoroughly towel-dry, then use baby powder to make sure the area I want to epilate is totally dry.

I use this product after, which works really well for reducing redness - stings for a second when you put it on, but feels much better after a few hours than my skin does if I don't use it. There are lots of similar products if you look for post-waxing/post-epilating balms.

I don't have another shower after epilating if I've had one before, so...no opinion on that one, I'm afraid!

I don't find it too painful on my legs - it feels annoyingly itchy to me (while I'm doing it). Armpits are quite painful but over quickly. Bikini area hurts quite badly. The more you epilate a specific area on a regular basis, the less it hurts. If I skip a couple of months then it hurts a lot more when I start again!
