How do I get stupid smooth legs and whatnot without getting ingrowns and strawberry leg?Going "with the grain" isn't a close enough shave. It doesn't help that I have thick dark hair that irritates everything around it easily. Moisturizing and exfoliating hasn't helped. Am I being too hard with the razor? It only seems to happen around the thighs and other sensitive/fatty areas.
>>43589317I had this problem too. I tried different razors and stuff but I kinda just gave up. if anything try epilation, but it's painful.
>>43589317i go with and then against
>>43589317You might need glycolic acid to deal with strawberry legs. Also use an electric razor and epilator.
>>43589339I've wanted to get my hands on one for a while>>43589340I'll try that this next time>>43589343broke my electric razor and I'm broke right now
>>43589396they're pretty cheap. a decent one can be had for 30$
>>43589317Switching to a single blade razor helped for me. Fewer blades = fewer passes = less irritationAnd if you have coarse dark hair like you say (and light skin) I 10000% recommend getting laser hair removal. I struggled with ingrowns for years, laser is the number one best thing I have ever done for myself.
>>43589317use conditioner for a shaving agent, go against the grain, finish with baby oil
>>43589317Laser is the answer, if you're a poor prole like me and can't afford it then shaving is the best you can get while staying practical.
>>43589317 razors arent great for close shaves so people compensate by using too much force and go against the grain which causes irritation
