So last weekend, while i Manchester, I decided to try out one of those 3-head Phillips shavers. Normally i would go unshaved but i was desperately in need of a shave and i dont quite enjoy looking like a tramp... Abe on the other hand prefers me unshaved.

Anyway... ignoring her advice i had that shave and fell in love with the shaving system. It's got swappable heads.. one for getting the chin trimmed down to size and the other to make my face look like a baby's bottom.

The problem i'm having now is that the pus-filled, pimply... bump thingies have appeared just where the hair ends and my neck begins!

There's a stong urge to try to pop them but i know it'll get worse if i do so i'm tryinna ignore them... plus it hurts from when Abe popped the initial ones.

I dunno... but will this experience stop be from going shopping for a Phillishave Coolskin? Probably not... i'll just get some cream for treating the chin before shaving next time and hope my skin adjusts to it.

Maybe... just maybe, you'll be less likely to catch me looking like a tramp.

I don't even know why I waste my time:

Try tendskin... i think it is sold in the @ www.tendskkin.com
What you have me dear are razor bumps from ingrown hairs ( if you have curly hair aka kpenkpeshi hair then you know this well) and from what I have read, the best way to treat them is to wash the area with warm water..

use a facial scrub to gently exfoliate the skin before shaving.

Also if the razor bumps are already there, then wash the area, use a soft brush to loosen the hair follicles up and use an antibacterial ointment like cortisone or hydrocortisone to treat it.

You also try Gillettes new line of sensitive skin products which includes a shaving gel/ foam and also an aftershave.
According to the African boys I know it works... so happy baby's bottom and continue falling in love with complicated 3 headed tools.
