I've always been rather clean-shaven, shaving every couple days at the very least (usually daily). Now, this summer has been full of weddings, and in order to switch things up I've decided to go to the next one looking decidedly hobo-esque.

But like 3 days into not shaving and my face is itching like a mother-fucker, just begging me to shave it. It's maddening. I am typing this with one-hand while scratching the shit out of my face/neck with the other.

Anyone know of anything that works good to relieve the itch of something like this? Fuck. I'm looking at my cup of coffee and seriously contemplating pooring it over my face in the odd chance that it may bring relief.

Shaving is not an option.

I shave them, and well, when new hair comes up, itches like a big motherfucking bastard. ;p.

.

I just don't try to think about it, and it goes away, until I want to masturbate, wich is another story. .

Time is all it takes for me. There's a period of beard where it itches a shitload and then once it's long enough it stops, and then as long as you keep it clean it won't itch. Just hang in there.

Yeah the first time it was like omg i wanna cut my fucking balls, and put them into fucking ice so they will freeze and won't itch. Anyways, I've got used to it, thanks good I have never hurt my nutz when shaving T_T.

A serious suggestion would be some of that ALOE cream / gel that is recommended after you get sunburns.

Soothing.

Alegra D = instant cure for any itch and pretty much no side effects. Might hard to find someone with a prescription though.

I learned this after watching this UFC fight and getting the drunkenly brilliant idea to wrestle my friend who has been taking a MMA class. Where he got poison oak all over his arms. Moments later his blistered forearms were rubbing all over my fucking face. To top it off I puked shortly after (never a good idea to exersize that much when your hammered). All in all I consider the night a success.

Anyway if its just your beared grow a sack and deal with it, thats nothing

Maybe facial hair isn't for you. The metrosexual look sounds more fitting! It'll stop on its own, you don't need a cure.

Half of you people haven't read the damn thread. His face is itching not because he shaved it, but rather the lack of shaving! Come on people. And as far as stopping and itching beard, try baby powder and report back.

actually its for allergies but you know, I probably would have smoked gynalubramin in a crack pipe if I'd a thought it would stop that itching. It was that maddening

as for shaving the balls, I tried it once after a hint from my gf at the time that if wasn't for getting hairs in her mouth all the time she'd go down whenever I wanted. Now I can get the old rusty trombone played every night, very worth imo

Time will make the itching go away. The important thing is to keep the beard/face clean. If you really can't stand it, however, I haven't heard of any skin related annoyance that aloe couldn't cure.

And regarding people shaving their sack - I'm sure a lot of us have been there for some stupid reason (usually involving a girl), and yeah, that gets itchy. But I feel the need to point out that this whole face thing was about 50x worse than any ball-related itch I've ever had.

It's largely due to my facial hair being very thick and coarse, which also has to do with why I've stayed mostly clean shaven for the past many, many years.

And why are there asian people responding to this thread? Haha, kidding. Couldn't resist. =]

this is kind of counter intuitive, but the solution is to just NOT SCRATCH. just don't. whenever you feel an itch, force yourself not to scratch it. it's kind of like a canker sore in that the more you poke at it, the worse it gets, and the more you need to poke at it.

I have the same thing as op, I only shave like once a week, since i'm not particularly fond of it. When the hairs grow too long, that's when it starts to itch, and it makes it difficult to shave it with a normal shaving machine also (you need to trim first). A solution is difficult tho, i shave whenever the itch starts. GL, i wouldn't know a good remedy, try talc powder anyway.

I tried shaving my balls once, but when those started growing back i decided i'd rather have a Tarzan swinging in my ball hairs than going through that itch again.

NEVER shave your pubes with a 2-bladed razor. First time I did it I used that, and I'm not sure what went wrong but I ended up with a bunch of ingrown hairs for like a week. Looked like I had acne all over my junk.

At first glance, I thought it said ringworm instead of ingrown. Look at the bright side, you didn't get a bunch of testicle parasites.

It's an irritation itch, it won't do anything.

Just use something to soften your skin (and hairs), like lotion (ie the Nivea for Men stuff that was suggested). And as also mentioned talcum powder works too... baby powder or goldbond (though goldbond may burn a bit, but it's almost a refreshing burn...).
I'm never gonna know you now \ But I'm gonna love you anyhow.

Calomine lotion is meant to cure itching... I used it when I was little and had chicken pox. Also, they told me that whenever I wanted to itch, I had to scratch something other than myself to make myself feel better without making the chicken pox worse. They suggested drawing a chicken. I suggest something more entertaining, a pet, a friend ...I'll let you do the thinking...
