Topic: shaving chest (bumps) and kneesI

[learning_1]

I have been shaving my legs all summer long every day and chest 2 or 3 times a week. I use a 3 blade razor tried a 5 blade but seemed like did not do a good job. When i shave my chest i get bumps not red around my breast area an use a gel and then shaving creme. On legs i use shaving creme. My questions are what can i do about the bumps and how is best way to shave the knees? I use lotion after drying from shower. Thanks

I am unsure of the best way to shave particular areas such as the knees; however, I do my shaving of my legs when taking a nice bath, usually lavender.  The soaking is soothing too.

You make your skin peel shaving legs every single day. That is what happened to me. I had to stop it. I do it about every 4th day now. For getting in area like my knees and ankles where I am shaving in grooves, I like taking the single side blade on my Gillette Fusion men's razor. It allows me procession. May have to cut the frequency to stop the red bumps.

you need to exfoliate daily, get your self a set o gloves and scub like hell. once you get a routine down you wont have the bumps anymore.
you can find exfoliate gloves on az really cheap, for me, gloves work best and not wands or sticks

I agree you definitely need to exfoliate and cut back on the frequency. I usually take a shower and use one of those mesh shower and bath sponges to scrub down before I shave. This drastically cut back on the razor bumps and burns. I also only shave every 4-5 days now depending on how fast it grows back.

About the same amount of time for me as well.  I tried the epilator but didn't like it.

I would suggest, as an alternative, to have your legs waxed say monthly, once that is done you will not need to shave as often perhaps not at all, and you will get a smoother leg
