Knee shaving secrets: Nix the nicks

 
I've been shaving for a while, now but whenever I try to shave my kneecap and right underneath it, I feel I'm cutting my skin. Afterward I always get these red bumps. Everywhere else is fine but right there I always have problems. Help?

 

Your knees are more sensitive than the rest of your body. This is common and there are many ways to prevent the itchy red bumps and cuts! Make sure you shave downward with warm water, going in the direction that the hair grows. Otherwise you could be catching the skin on your knee.

 

I’ve found that the key to getting a perfect shave over trouble spots like around your knees is to try out different angles. Stretching your leg out in front of you might help ya get one patch while twisting around to do the back of your knee might help ya shave another patch. Take your time, use lots of shaving gel and a fresh razor, and you should be just fine.

 

Good luck!

MOD MOD MOD... Do you need to use shaving cream to shave?

 

Hey missy, you don't have to use it, but it's reccommended. Some girlies use soap or just water. Just find what works for you. Hope this helps! Smile Smile

ok, so..i saw this article and it really helped! But my knees rnt rlly my problem...when i shave my pits like i get these bumbs, so it never totally gets shaved and if i try to press to shave it all it usually cuts me...then after i shave (even though u can still see the hair -.-) i have these red spots as if i cut it....is there anything that can help, it wasnt like this when i first started shaving them, just about a month or two ago it started...help!
thx - xoxo - mic




Hey babe! 

It sounds like you've got razor burn. Either your razor is too dull and hurt your skin or you're allergic to an ingredient in your shaving cream. Try and put some calming creme on your bumps until they clear up. xoxox!
