I am a swimmer and compete in a master's series. Three times a year i shave down (stomack, arms, legs etc) for meets. I ALWAYS end up with in grown hairs afterwards and i hate it.
Any ideas
Thanks

~ exfoliation.
~ don't shave too close...like don't pull the skin tight for the razor blades.
~ use something to reduce swelling afterwards...witch hazel or whatever. i've never tried it, but if your skin gets really aggravated, maybe some otc hydrocortisone cream would even help.
i used to compete. what's your stroke?

Wyndhy thanks for the response. I dont know what a witch hazel is but i will investigate. Never tried hydrocortisone cream but will give that a go.
I swim mostly the 500 free. Sorry i am not a good breast stroker (hehe).
Thanks

Actually, I've always thought the freestyle stroke was FANTASTIC and occasionally have even tried the butterfly. Oh, yeah, and the backstroke can be exhilarating. But now you're telling me we have to be in the WATER when we do them? And shaving will speed me up? I'm not really sure I want that.
