If you go to walmart, in the area where they have the shaving cream and razors, they have a small bottle of an aftershave oil that prevents bumps and irritation. Just a suggestion.

I found razors that are specifically designed for african american men to be the most helpful in preventing bumps. The blades are shaped differently than regular razors. Also, use bikini zone shaving cream(its a blue gel with blue dots) while shaving, and bikini zone cream afterward. The products are expensive(about $7 each), but its the only thing I found that works. Also, wearing cotton underwear after shaving will prevent irritation and avoid lotions with dyes and perfumes--this will all aggravate the sensitive area! My hair grows back quickly too...Sorry I thik we're stuck with those genetics!

After shaving I put clear gel geoderant on the shaved area. It helps alot to prevent bumps and razor burn. Just make sure it is on the external area of your punani. It may burn a little like after shave does because of the alcohol in it. For me this works really well.

Thanks everyone; i'll have to go try all of those things out. Thanks again!

I shave the direction the hair grows, and haven't had a problem with bumps or irritation (yet)! I also dry the area really well, and immediately (once dried completely), put lotion on.

If you shave with the grain, you don't really get a smooth shave do you? My hair is pretty course, so I would be worried that with the grain wouldn't help much...
