I will once he surfaces from his office. At the moment he's stressing about it. I don't think he realises how easy all this stuff really is for him, he's lucky not to be like me when it comes to MathsOfficers don't run, it's undignified and panics the men0 -

As a man that has moisturised everyday since birth:
The right cream depends on your skin type. If you have dry skin the none oil based baby lotion won't do anything.
Example:
I have a oily face, after I use facial wash (Tea Tree oil) I use baby lotion for my face to moisturise, not add more oil to it and thus the production of spots thorugh traped/blocked pores. I have don't have an oily (naturally sweaty) body so I use baby oil for that and cocoa butter or vaseline for my feet (foot bottom ~ for Cafewanda's benefit).
If your rash is more ala razor bumbs then perhaps using a bumpstopper type cream. There are shops in deepest darkest Brixton, Croydon, Streatham, Shepards Bush etc that can help.
That said I'd probably bath (using Tea Tree Oil or something equally natural) making sure the skin was devoid of all oil, grime, dirt, sweat and use either Vaseline, Astral or baby oil should E45 not work.
However, if the rash isn't just skin irritation then the application of more oil may:
i: Block the pores creating spots and irritate the skin further (stopping it from breathing etc - which something as thick as E45 does).
ii: Prevent new hair from growing straight, making them curl inwards and back into the skin thus creating razor bumps.
If it is skin irritation baby lotion might work but your skin may also need help producing natural oils cocoa butter may do the trick. But the solution really may come down to you knowing your body and what works for it.
(I just like to cream - moisturise - my skin).Food Chain number = 4

Putting a moisturiser on a rash isn't going to help it... like d'uh.
You need to establish whether it's being caused by regrowth, or by a reaction to the veet.
If it's regrowth, you need to exfoliate (scrub your skin with a brush/loofah) and perhaps use something to prevent ingrowns, google is your friend.
If it's a reaction to the veet, you need to leave it well alone, and pop to a pharmacist.0 -

Ideally need to be moisturising in the first place before the veeting anyway, but that's just something which needs to be done on a regular basis anyway.Officers don't run, it's undignified and panics the men0 -
that's kinda what I said.
If its razor bumbs, get a bumpstopper cream (yes it exists with that name). Wash moisturise as dry skin doesn't help.
If its proper skin irritation don't use heavy duty cream like E45. Skin still needs to be moisturised and not go dry though (as that in and of itself could be worse) so I use baby lotion.

So, umm, you used Veet, then you had a few drinks, then you used a razor.
Riiiighhtt.
Isn't your problem that you didn't give it a second coat of Veet? Go on: have a go with some more Veet. In fact, do a trial. One leg: more Veet. Other leg: more shaving. And try some more wax in the middle.

This has to be the funniest thread I've read in a LONG time. Good to know I'm not the only one struggling with partners, shaving various parts, what and how to shave, etc....
The first time I shaved my legs (I thought that was what you were supposed to do as a roadie) I didn't tell my girlfriend beforehand. She climbed into bed cuddled up to me, screamed in my ear and lept out of bed. If I hadn't been laughing so much I might have been a bit more sympathetic....I would not recommend shaving without prior consent.

I'm hoping it's not a discontinued one as I want to get hold of more myself.
Seriously though there was still a tingling an hour afterwards and my skin is still lovely and soft this morning

It sends exactly the same message as being male and riding Campag Athena, which is exactly the same as being male and driving a convertable Vauxhall Tigra, which is exactly the same being male and wearing skinny jeans.

I shave once a week because thats how long it takes for my chin to get stubble (it takes me a whole week to grow weekend stubble), I don't have a single hair on my chest or upper body (I don't shave), my legs aren't hairy at all I have been asked if I shave them. I am not a hairy man, a little nair doesn't maketh an Athena rider of me.
Anyway:
Who has had more than one look at ITB's legs?
Who is man enough to admit to going back and looking at them over the course of a few days?
