Shaving Legs......without razor rash, nicks and ingrown hair.
Does shaving legs leave you with ingrown hair, nicks or razor rash?
You can stop that, from ever happening again. There is more to shaving than just a bit of soap, water and a razor. On this page you will learn great tricks, for getting the best, closest shave ever, without nicks or razor rash.
So get your razor ready and let's go shaving legs!
Invest in a good razor
The disposable ones, although inexpensive will not do as good of a job as a reusable, and yes, a little bit more expensive razor. I use "Venus" by Gillette and I highly recommend it. Change your blades frequently A dull razor increases the chances of ingrown hair, and will give you those annoying nicks and a razor rash. Do not shave right after getting out of bed in the morning Your skin is more puffy first thing in the morning, so your hair stubble is not as visible. I recommend waiting 20-30 minutes before grabbing a razor. Scrub or loofah before shaving Grab a soft skin brush or a loofah, and give your legs a nice massage...Start at the ankles and work your way up to the thighs, in slow circular motion. This will get rid of the dead skin which can clog up your blade. Plus it will give you smooth and soft skin. Wet your hair first Before grabbing that razor wet your skin for 2-5 minutes. When your skin is well hydrated, your hair will stand up, allowing for a closer shave. Don't shave after a long bath
If you're planning to shave in the bath, do it in the first 5 minutes. It takes skin just under 10 minutes to shrivel in warm water, which makes it harder to get at the hair and get a close shave. Don't use soap Shaving cream will moisturize your skin and the razor will glide on better. Another option is to use a hair conditioner. It will leave your skin smooth and silky and it does just as good of a job as a shaving cream. I buy an inexpensive kind and I love the results. Let your shaving cream sit on the skin Allow your shaving cream (or conditioner) to sit on your skin for a couple of minutes. That will moisturize the skin and the hair will stand up for a closer shave.
