Itchy
I just shaved my legs... actually my whole lower body. Never done it before. I tried putting some moisturizing cream on but I am still itchy as hell! ITCHY!! Aarrrggh
Does this go away after shaving reliably for awhile, or is there some secret trick to making it less freakin itchy?!
I'm going to go chug a bottle of Bacardi. This is too much.

Exfoliating helps =)
And if it's already itching that bad after "just shaving"... then perhaps you should be saving your alcohol for when day ~2-3 hits.

You use something like a loofah sponge to remove all the dead skin off of your body - generally once a week. It's even more ideal to do it before you shave. With all the dead skin gone not only do you reduce a lot of the itch caused by hairs pushing against dead cells, but you reduce the chance of ingrown hairs significantly.
Exfoliate -> Shave -> Moisturize
