I've had the peeing razorblades sensation both from long distance running and cycling- and I've noticed, with cycling, that eventually, it goes away. Over the course of months. I guess the tissues just get used to it. One thing I am very careful about is getting completely dry after peeing, because any urine left there can be very irritating. I used to use a lanolin udder balm, but stopped after a while, and really haven't missed it, though it was helpful when I was newer to long distances. BTW, I am not a commando rider- just can't handle it. I tried.

I've noticed a lot of things have just gone away- neck and shoulder pain, sit bones pain, hand and wrist pain, foot hot spots. It's like the body just adjusts and eventually stops hurting. I was most pleased to have the neck/shoulder pain quit.
