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.

My doctor tried to send me to a psychiatrist before prescribing HRT, I told her thanks but no thanks, I know who I am. Not sure where you live, but Planned Parenthood doesn’t bat an eye. Hope you can find a solution.
