Hey ladies, any non expensive tips on getting rid of stubble burns? I have very sensitive skin and the area around my mouth has become red and irritated. I tried putting on makeup to cover it but it seems to irritate it a bit more. Help!

And on a side note to you gentlemen, if you do not have a full blown beard, please SHAVE before an appointment. Believe it or not, having bristles scraped against your skin is NOT fun.

Ouch!,,,That would hurt!(stubble burn,that is.)

I get "5 oclock beard" by noon - so I shave pretty much immediately before an appt.....  cortisone creme should help the rash - if not, ask a medical doctor....

I prepare myself...  a fresh shave & shower before leaving for a date.  I find someplace to brush, floss, mouthwash before arrival (kit in my car) ussually means pulling into a parking lot somewhere.  

I don't know what kind of shaving kit could be provided at an incall?  Electric razor or foam & throw away blades?  "Honey, you just gotta shave that!"

and if you keep your eyes open, you might find a free source.  The stuff literally grows like a weed in So Cal.

it doesn't feel real good against your thighes either. lol

I know it's not rally funny, I hope all your gentleman friends get the hint.

Try good lotion with vitamins  A and E with sun block
And also Any good cream with Aloe Vera
kiss babe girl..

good old fashioned witch hazel on a cotton ball will close the pours so they don't get irritated and swell. Hope this helps cheers Livie.

Look up a product called TENDSKIN.

Hi Miss. Brooke,  I use cortisone cream to help relieve the rash.  At night I use Vitamin E oil.  I have a bottle of vitamin E oil that I keep around just for this purpose.  Isn't it funny that the guys who do have the stubble are usually the ones who like to kiss alot.  lol  My skin is very sensitive too so I understand very well what you are talking about.  BTW: the vitamin E oil works wonders under the eyes overnight too.

The first time I met my now ATF was after work, and I hadn't realized I had the old afternoon shadow. After our shower together, she got out a razor and  cream for me to shave, while she continued her preparations for our bedroom seen. It was one of the most GF experiences I've had. It made me feel right at home, and I liked knowing that she could let me know, in a very GF way, what she liked and needed. Just my way of saying, don't be bashful about having the guy shave if he needs it.

just a friendly reminder. A reused razor can transmit blood borne infections.

She sounds great.  I will take this advice and keep brand new disposable razors available just in case.  Thank you.  

No doubt you will get a few guys a bit PO'd, those who are a bit thin-skinned, which in that case have extra sensitive shaving gel on hand. But, for others, it might be that extra little touch that has them wanting to come back for more.

I have sensitive skin too.
I would use Aloe Vera and rest!

I was think about the disposable razor bit...  yes, one doses not want to share blades with anyone!  But ALL blades are "disposable".  It's only the handle that gets reused.  
My personal favorite isn't foam at all but "Bald Guys" shave gel.  Someday soon, I'll be able to shave ear to ear, over the top.  

Surely you GFE girls can get the guy to the sink & say (very sexy) "You need to shave cause I'm gonna get really close!"

and don't come back until his face is as smooth as a baby's ass.

I skip shaving for a couple of days before the date, so that when I shave before going to see the lady, I get a much closer shave.  Never had a complaint.

OTOH, I have seen numerous shaved ladies with stubble down below, which is not fun either.

LOL and thanks everyone. I've been taking a mix of all your advices and my skin is better!

Good grooming and hygene go a long way towards creating that special "chemistry" that will get you more bang for your buck.  Shower before a session.  A 3 minute rinse off doesn't count.  Make sure you are completely clean with no soap residue (it tastes nasty).  While we are talking about soap, forget the bars.  Use a nice body wash, like the kind your wife/GF uses.  Put on clean clothes before a date.  Yesterday's reruns aren't good enough.  Even if they pass the smell test.  Women have a much more highly evolved sense of smell than we do.  Brush your teeth after every meal.  Breathmints are nice just before meeting her, but won't kill the germs and odors caused by decaying food.  Mouthwash kills germs, but won't remove plaque or food particles.  Brush your teeth after every meal! If you're the kind of guy who always has a 5 O'clock shadow by noon, then carry an electric razor in your car to smooth things out. A fresh haircut wouldn't hurt either.  I shouldn't even need to mention that skid marks are a real mood killer.  Toss those nasty skivies in the trash.

There's a reason why the term YMMV is used so frequently in the hobby.  If you think your "milage" with a provider isn't as good as what you expected from reading the reviews, take a good honest look at yourself and improve your cleanliness.

Just my opinions based on personal observation.

I would get a prescription for Acyclovir if I were you.
