Oh yeah, that's true. When I had started the laser, the technologist told me to shave the area WITH the hair growth, and also with short "taps", not long strokes. This way, you shouldn't get ingrowns or bumps. Good luck!
 
I have an appt to learn more on the 24th of July! I am glad to hear others have suffered & seemed to have found a solution to what I affectionetly call "Monkey Butt" I can't even go for a walk on the beach as the bumps get too painfull. After a week on a live aboard I am a mess.

We have 3 big trips coming up Sept 2 Caribbean Explorer I Bahamas, Dec 22 Aggressor Galapogos, & March 24th Peter Huges in Belize. To be razor free would be truely joyous!
 
try using conditioner instead of shaving cream, works like a dream, no bumps
 
A guy's opinion. I think boy shorts are totally hot.
 
I'm not sure i want to know why you know far to much about laser hair removal...

RebreatherDave:
For whomever thinks laser (or waxing) doesn't hurt the goods, well, they must be into S&M, lol. The most effective laser out there is Coherent's EpiLight diode laser. This head has a refrigeration system circulating through the tip, and it can recharge for the next pulse faster then they can move it. Since laser works by slightly cauterizing the capillary blood supply system to the follicle, it can take repeated treatments to sufficiently cauterize the blood supply to a particular follicle to the point that the tellagen or resting phase of the follicle is long enough to cause permanent atrophy, and thus permanent hair loss. They ALWAYS lie about how many treatments you will need. It's marketing 101. Figure at least a dozen treaments. Part of that is because for every terminal hair (vellous is the baby fine usually blonde body hair) you see on you, there are 2 more in the telegen resting phase. The hair can't be treated via energy sent down its shaft if it is not through the surface.


Additionally, since all hair regrowth has a tapered finer tip just like from waxing, as the hair grows in it is very fine and soft, so you can get away with doing nothing in between each 6-8 week treatment cycle without feeling like a Sasquatch.

In dense urban areas like L.A. with its close proximity to the San Pornando Valley, where the hygienic aerodynanic look is popular for girls and guys too, there are so many laser joints now that you shouldn't be paying their advertised prices. Grind em down hard. You shouldn't be paying more than $50 a session for underarms or $75-$100 for the goods complete to the stern. Lower legs should be in the $100-$150 range and full legs should be in the $200 range. Below the belt down to the toes with underarms included should be in the $250 range in the begining then should taper off to $100 for full touch ups.

Laser to shaving is like a drysuit to a wetsuit, a Mac to a PC, a closed circuit rebreather to a SASSY kids surface scuba rig, :wink: Once you've tried it, you will kick yourself for not having it sooner!

No way. This Guy say s a nice sleek tight fitting solid color one piece bathing suit out of nylon,spandex or lycra is totally hot.By the way Ladies for color s Royal Blue or Hot Pink is Hot
 
For any of you who want to continue to shave and avoid red bumps, you should try Tend Skin - http://www.tendskin.com/. It has worked very well for me. I have tried all of the things recommended above except laser and nothing else has worked as well for me as Tend Skin.
