Exfoliate using shower gloves by Jay-D on 30 Dec, 2009 15:16

I have gotten a remarkable decrease in razor bumps and ingrown hairs as a result of using shower gloves (google them if you don't know what they are). They look really lame so I keep them hidden when not in use, but they work wonders. Make sure to use them in the shower with liquid soap otherwise they may be too harsh. The first few uses they will be too smooth, but after you break them in (the bristles on your head will roughen them up) they will do the best job of exfoliating your head, which means scrape away old skin so it doesn't build up, clog pores and trap hairs under the skin. Do this every day or as often as you bathe, even if you don't shave. You can even use them on your entire body, replacing the scrunchy or "Axe Tool". Best of luck
I prefer shower gloves to those scrunchy things and loofahs because they are easier to maneuver and you don't miss spots - they're your hands after all!
Another thing I do to reduce irritation is soak my razor in alcohol between uses, but I think most people already know to use a clean razor for each shave.

I know exactly what you're talking about & although they ain't the manliest things in the world they WORK. I use a slightly more (but not by much) masculine loofah myself, but they do the same thing.
Hint: If you haven't tried this yet, the next time you & your signficant other hop in the shower grab those gloves, soap them up and give her a good full body rubdown.
You will NOT regret it & chances are that it will turn into a loooooooong shower
