I have extra sensitive skin so I love, love love the new Skintamate Cream Shave Lotion.  It is like lotion versus gel.  I prefer to use non-disposable razors either the Schick Quattro or the Venus one w/ blades you buy.  That's for legs and underarms. 

As for other areas, waxing is the only way to go.

I wouldn't put it on the top 10 things to do for good times but it guarantees good times afterward.

Also now it's become a habit so I don't even notice.

Shaving!  What a doggone pain.

1.  If you have a very thin amount of hair (talking a few stubbley hairs) then go with the electric clippers without a guard.  Andis makes a very close shaving clipper for shaving but they can be kinda expensive.

2.  If you have a goatee or a mini afro under your chin that you're trying to get rid of then go with the electric clippers with no guard.  Chances are you'll be shaving everyday so get a good Conair or Wahl clipper and you should be fine.  WalMart has them.

3.  If you have ingrown hairs - Pull those joints out with a tweezer first!  Next, shave with the Andis clipper to train your hairs to grow out and not back into the skin.  My chin hairs seem to be throwing up the Crip gang sign of "C" and just curl right back into my skin so I have to really work with them to get the right look.

My barber wouldn't recommend using disposable razors, dipillatories, or any hair removal cremes on a black man because they tend to irritate our skin.

I use the disposable razors with Skintimate Shave Gel.  I use those to shave EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING.  Oddly enough, I never get hair on my legs...LOL. No facial hair what-so-ever.  I shave my vajayjay, my underarms, and that's pretty much all I ever have to do. My hubby, who is bald...by choice, uses shave gel, and these expensive disposable blades that I can't remember the name of.

I can't stand a bald vajayjay.  It looks a little funny on a sista to me sometimes if her former hair patch is a little darker than her tummy or legs.

What kind of clippers do you use Sam???  (I've never shaved with regular "clippers".)
