I get ingrown hairs on my legs that I have to manually inspect and release or it will become a pimple like bubble with a mangled hair in it that and sometimes it is painful.

I’m sure people get them, but I can’t imagine it’s that common.

In the aughts, I had a girlfriend who was conflicted, as she loved the feeling of bare skin but would get ingrown hairs in the week or two to follow.

That sucks :p
I wish I knew what I was doing differently. Maybe I just have an X-men outer carapace for skin.

You are blessed.
Every time I’ve tried shaving my junk (even tried Nair once) I’ve ended up with a minefield of ingrown hairs.
It’s 24 hours of “woah, this feels kinda neat” followed by weeks of agony and waiting for the redness to go away. I sometimes get them when I shave my face too, but that’s less common. Had one on the top of my head once that made a bald spot about the size of a quarter that took a couple months to grow back in.
Ingrown hairs are a plague upon the body.

You know, I decided to look some stuff up after reading this, and there is a fantastic chance it’s only because I have relatively thin, straight hair.
I shampoo, I exfoliate. I imagine it would be insane to hear that the razor I use for my face, junk, and limbs is getting a bit scratchy, I probably needed to swap the blade out like a week ago. Getting one ingrown hair, let alone a minefield is just unthinkable to me.
If I had to deal with half of what you do, I either just wouldn’t shave or I’d be looking for more permanent methods.
The message of the OP is one I agree with anyway, so it’s not like it’s a big deal. I hope after 20 years you’ve settled on a look you like. :p

I get ingrown where I don’t even remove hair. It’s like my hair just wants to get inside again all warm and cosy.

In my case, it’s just like my skin doesn’t really like having hair save for on my head,
