Comment on Men against bush
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 day agoYou 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
