I get a considerable ammount of ingrown hairs when I shave, with some being quite nasty (very inflamated and sensitive, laser is out of reach for now, I was considering waxing and epilation but still a out of reach now, I mostly want a way to help prevent ingrown hairs from appearing in the first place or making them go away faster
I shave in the shower with a new blade once a week. I use Gillette Sensitive shaving cream with Harry’s Razors, short passes, rinsing in a plastic container with hot water each pass. Right after getting out, air dry (I have a fan in my bedroom) then use aloe vera wherever I shaved. I tried lotions and other aftershave creams, but a giant bottle of aloe vera works wonders on my skin and feels amazing.
The next day after shaving, I do IPL with a Braun Pro 5. After 4 weeks, the hair growth slowed significantly, the ingrown hairs are mostly gone. I do a touch up every 2 weeks, but I’m very happy with the results so far. YMMV. I have light skin with dark hair, so the IPL works well for me.
