Hey Dressage!
I've found that a NEW men's razor and men's shaving cream or even hair conditioner to shave with works the best for keeping irritation to a minimum. For some reason, the men's products seem to work better in that regard.
By the way, I love love love your avatar and handle name. I love horses and I love dressage. Beautiful sport.
Seems like you've got lots of help with your answer. I agree a search will give you even more info.

BikeMomma,
Thanks for the tip on controlling irritation!
The avatar is of me and my horse this past summer- he's my "boy!" and I miss him like crazy when I am at school! I agree with you, dressage is a beautiful form of riding

welcome to the board Dressage. I can't think of a question that would be too personal - if you can't ask it here, where can you ask!
If you get a chance, there's a thread under open titled "getting to know you". Gives you a chance to learn more about us than our mothers know, and tell us something more about you!
and Love the avatar!Last edited by CorsairMac; 10-24-2005 at 11:41 AM. Reason: coz we don't need no stinkin proofreadings??
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Horse Clippers
Hi!! I used to ride American Saddlebred Horses and have an immense respect for the discipline of dressage. Most of my equestrian contemporaries (mid 40's) that showed Five-Gaited horses back in the 70's and early 80's, if still riding have switched to dressage. I switch to cycling.
Now...back to the question.....being half-Jewish and half-Sicilian...thick, dark hair is EVERYWHERE on my body. Waxing will not have lasting results---I use the old Wahl horseclippers to stay clipped and then a Venus razor for closer results. I have to be really careful with the trouser-crease area of my bum as to not nick it lest it result in a saddle sore from the bike.
Hope this helps.Fit and Fabulous on a Bike...Decrepit on a Horse!
