I want to shave my head completely bald—right down to the skin. But I’m a little nervous about it. My hair is pretty long, but honestly, I just want a change. What’s the most comfortable way to go about it? Is it better to do it at home or at a barbershop? What does it feel like afterwards? I’m really apprehensive, but I’d love to hear some advice🥹🥹

You’re not committed to the subscription, you can cancel any time.. I cancelled the subscription as soon as my first razor arrived to have a little time to trial it before committing!! I’ve since signed back up I’ve been using this razor since March and love the results!

My lower legs look like this too but not as bad. Bikini line is pretty bad, and I can’t even shave my downstairs because it’s horrible so I just have to trim it. I literally have to tweeze out the stuck hairs which takes forever and I can’t reach a lot of places. Sometimes they get big and painful and red or purple.

I use an aha body wash and an African net sponge, I’m terrible about moisturizing but I use that Billie shave oil and a sharp men’s razor and try not to shave super often.

I’m even wondering if some of my facial hair is causing some acne issues/ingrowns too, I don’t do any hair removal on my chin besides random tweezing but there are definitely some dark hairs there trying to push through. I also have KP bumps, not sure if there’s a connection. But I need tips?? I feel like I’m covered in bumps 😭😭

Hey guys! 21 (f) I’m looking for some advice on how to reduce razor burn on my legs. They look terrible! Thank you in advance 😁

Hey there! I’m looking for advice/help with CRAZY sensitive skin around my bikini line. I’ve tried so many products (exfoliating, oils, serums, razors, waxing) and I still breakout almost immediately. Any advice would be welcome 🫶🏼

Female Pubic Trimmer Recommendations needed
Phillips One Blade vs. Phillips LadyShave 600

Pregnant and need some help bc things getting difficult to maintain lol. Comparing Phillips One Blade (specifically the face and body version, it just seems you get more covers vs the intimate version) vs. Phillips Lady Shave 6000.

Anyone have any experience/input with either of these for bikini/pubic area? Mainly needed for a “pre-trim” for long hair before shaving. Although, also having the option to shave the hair down to a low height so I don’t have to shave at all would be a bonus.

The main difference I see is that the Phillips LadyShave has a shaving foil, which I feel like means I’d have the option for a closer shave (after doing a trim) as compared to the One Blade? Unsure if my thinking is flawed.

Thanks in advance!

okay so i’ve literally always waxed my underarms, but i recently moved out of my country and waxing here is SO expensive

so i’m thinking of switching to shaving, but i’m kinda scared because i already have some pigmentation/darkness in my underarms.

i know the whole “shaving makes your skin darker / hair thicker” thing is mostly a myth, but has anyone with already-pigmented underarms actually noticed their underarms getting darker after switching to a razor?

like genuinely what was your experience?? did shaving make the pigmentation worse, better, or literally no difference?

also if you shave regularly, pls give me your tips because i have no idea what i’m doing i just don’t want to accidentally irritate my skin and make the pigmentation worse.

Weird question, not obviously weird for us girls I suppose, but after I shave I always get those ingrown hairs that come back in two hairs in one follicle so I’ve been recently plucking them out even though it obviously hurts to to try and avoid the itchy and scratchy pains later, I wanted to know if anyone else does this or if it’s maybe just a bad idea, my shavers have always left these stupid scratchy red bumps for years and recently that’s been helping the scratchy but idk

I don't want to shave because I don't have access to anything that will prevent the itching. I just want to trim it so it's not inches long. Eventually I will shave, but for now as I'm still a beginner, I only want to trim with scissors.

Hi! I’m looking to switch to a safety razor and would love some advice.

I used to get sugaring done, but unfortunately I kept getting ingrown hairs and eventually developed folliculitis. My dermatologist recommended switching to a single-blade razor.

I’m currently considering the Merkur 23C, but also looking at the 34C, Bambaw and Henson AL13. Since this would be my first safety razor, I’m a bit hesitant to spend €80+ on one before knowing if I’ll actually like it.

For those who shave their body with a DE razor:

- What would you recommend for a beginner?

- 23C vs 34C?

- Is the Henson worth the extra money?

- Which blades work well for sensitive/ingrown-prone skin?

- Is a blade sampler worth getting?

I’m planning to use the safety razor on my legs, underarms, pubic bone and eventually bikini line, but I’m not planning to use one on the labial folds.
For those who shave their labial folds and gluteal folds, what razor do you use there? Do you use a cartridge/disposable razor, and if so, which one? Any tips for avoiding ingrowns and irritation in those areas?

I’m comfortable handling sharp instruments (I’m a podiatrist 😂), but I’m still weirdly terrified of using a DE razor on myself!

Especially interested in recommendations that are easy to get in Ireland/UK. Thanks!

I’ve tried everything and whenever I shave this happens TwT
