One other tip, shave in the direction the hair lies, just once, then if necessary go once the opposite direction. Too many swipes with the razor can cause the irritation to start or get worse.
Ah, see, my razor ended up getting so blunt I was basically scrubbing myself with it in order for it to have any affect. Once or twice over... got it! Thanks! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

And Mel: the wax! of course! I think if I end up keeping this bodyhair-removal thing long-term, waxing may definately be in the cards.
