Shaving pubic hair & dealing with ingrown hair

[dengleheart]

Hey guys,

So I used to just trim my pubes, but lately I've been into completely shaving all of my pubes, including my balls. The issue is, while my hair grows out again, I get so much ingrown hair.

Has anyone dealt with this problem before? What are some solutions?

Thanks a lot guys!

Make sure your hairs are as soft as possible before shaving - maybe shave after long warm shower. Use the sharpest blade available, a new one, preferably.
If nothing helps, try some hair removal cream. But only a really small part at first. It may irritate your skin, especially on ballsack. And you don't want to have your balls on fire like this.

I've never had problems with my ball hair. In fact, I shave it almost daily and have never once nicked myself or gotten ingrown hairs. As far as the rest of my pubes…yeah, you just have to wait a few days in between shaving. That's the best advice I've got. However, I did read on Reddit, during an AMA with a stripper, that if you shave and then rub unscented dove deodorant/antiperspirant over the area, it somehow prevents ingrown hair. I've yet to try it though....

EDIT: Oh, and of course, go with the grain...not against
