Leg bumps after shaving..HELP!

I have coarse dark hair on legs, so in summer time I can’t really get away with no shaving at least every second day, if not every day, especially if having a pool day.
The problem is that if I shave two days in a row, I get bump- these are not just bumps on bikini area, but also leg bumps after shaving!!! Anyone here with the same problem???
I have tried waxing, but is no good- it hurts too much!

Hi!
I have the same problem/.
I was recommended aveeno shaving cream, but it didn’t help me really. If I shave two days in a row, I still get leg bumps, using aveeno or not.
Then I was recommended to use one blade razor only, because those with two or three blades irritate skin (second and third blade supposedly shave what has already been shaved)- this didn’t work out for me either.
The final solution that work for me! And I can do it every day!
My mum bought me for my birthday epilady – it pulls out hair, but also has accessory that shaves or better said cuts hair. So, I as a experienced leg bumps fighter Wink

recommend to get yourself electric ladies razor! It will reduce irritation I am sure!
