The recent post on brazilian waxes has me thinking again.  I would so love to have one, but I’m afraid.  Maybe one day I will work up the courage to try it…but not yet.

In the meantime, I’m looking for a better way to achieve similar results.  Right now, I’m shaving, but I HATE the little red bumps.  Not only are they hideous, they also can be really uncomfortable.

Anyway, I have recently read about something called a “personal shaver.”  The one I’ve seen the most is made by Seiko, but I think other companies make them too.  It’s apparenlty made just for the bikini area. The idea is that you shave until the hair is very short and then use the personal shaver to finish.  It’s supposed to leave you very smooth WITHOUT the dreaded red bumps. 

Sounds wonderful, but before I drop $60 on one, I’d like to know if they really work as well as I hope.  Has anyone here ever used one?  How did you like it?

I have sensitive skin and love the Bliss Bikini Perfect.  They carry it at Sephora and it is so worth the money!

I’ve used one, but definitely paid like $20 for it. I didn’t get the bumps, but it certainly wasn’t as smooth as I prefer and I transitioned over to waxing.

For the bumps, I find that Aveda Exfoliating liquid really keeps them to a minimum: http://www.aveda.com/product/CATEGORY10554/PROD6142/Skin_Care/Treat_Correct/index.tmpl I swipe it on after showers. I used to get really painful deep ones and this is the best stuff i’ve ever tried.

I haven’t used one, but I use Skintimate’s Moisturizing Cream Shave for Dry Skin for like…everything, and everything ends up really smooth without bumps. It’s about $1.50 so you might want to give it a try before you drop that $60! It’s truly fantastic.
