I guess I’m an animal. My gf prefers me clean shaven so I try to shave before I go over there. Earlier this week I was at her place and we were making out for quite awhile. She sends me a pic the next day of a spot on her chin that I evidently rubbed raw. I felt bad about it but that it was kinda funny. Anyways I was just over there and her chin has heeled up quite a bit but of course we ended up getting intimate again. I had shaven before I left for her place. I noticed a bloody taste in my mouth when we first started but figured that either my lips were dry or the minor nosebleed I had earlier was leaking into my mouth. Nope, I broke the scab, she noticed the taste too. Shit. It’ll probably be worse tomorrow. What can I do about this? Anything? I use a store-brand razor with six blades that I thought did a really good job. Should I switch back to a more quality razor to leave my skin more smooth? I’ve never quite had this problem before. Rough/smooth skin never mattered when I was single, I only wanted a close shave so I switched to this cheap razor. I suggested she get some balm or something to protect her skin next time I come over… ---

I think you get a closer shave with the fewest blades possible, they tend to be better quality. Try changing the kind of razor you use. Maybe your GF’s skin will toughen up just a little - I don’t have issues with one day growth, but after that I get basically sandpaper burns until a guy’s beard grows out over a week. I suppose she could put a bandaid over her chin in the meantime, that’s hot. ---

All I know is: If you’re rubbing the skin off her chin, you’re doing it all wrong. ---

Facial hair is only like sandpaper for the inertial growth :D. It sounds like your girlfriend has super sensitive skin, if you literally shave right before hand, and if you don’t have stubble it shouldn’t be a problem. If she’s having skin to skin problems, maybe some cream/lubricant will help, or different kissing positions. ---

All I know is that I **really** hope you’re careful if you try cunnilingus, I imagine a raw and scabby vulva is far worse than a raw and scabby chin. ---

I suggest not pushing so hard with your chin against hers. Kissing like that really puts a lot of strain on the jaw. ---

Yeah, i think you might just be pressing too hard. Try a little tenderness. ---
