Shaving is one task that most women hate to deal with. It is something that takes a significant amount of time and with today’s woman being as busy as ever, there is simply not enough time in the day! Even though it is annoying, there are few women who can comfortably live with hairy legs, at least for more than a week or two. Therefore, you should learn what you can do to make shaving your legs not as bothersome.

Getting started, The razor:

After deciding exactly what you are going to shave and what you will leave for later, there are a few things that you should do to make sure shaving is a comfortable experience. The most important thing you can do is to use a fresh razor. Razors can be used more than once, obviously, however you should certainly change your razor at least once a week. Disposable razors are different and should be tossed daily. The Gilette triple-blade razor is great, much better than others I’ve tried, I strongly recomend it.

Shaving Agent

With a fresh razor in hand, you should lather up with a good shaving agent. You can use a shaving gel, cream, lotion or even hair conditioner. Try the female versions of shaving products, as they are usually a bit more sensitive. Try not to use soap as this will only dry out your legs and makes shaving uncomfortable.

Avoid Ingrown Hairs

You can massage your legs with an alpha-hydroxy acid lotion before you start, in order to avoid ingrown hairs. It will make your skin feel soft and smooth.

While shaving, make sure you are warm, so you don’t get any goose bumps. This can be easily achieved if you shave in the shower. Goose bumps will catch on the razor and give you a rash.

Temperature Helps

When you are first getting used to shaving, the tub is best for going slow and seeing what you are doing. Once you get used to it, you might be able to do a good, quick job of it in the shower.

Moisturize your Legs

What you do to your legs after exiting the shower is almost as important as what you do when you are in the shower. Never leave shaved legs dry and without moisture. Most women can lather on body lotion right after shaving, but some may find this irritating to their legs. If you find yourself in an irritating situation, consider skipping your shaving routine for a few days. After your irritation heals, try using baby oil right on your legs after shaving. Almost everyone can use this without irritation. It is a bit messier, but it will provide everything you need for a comfortable shave. Oher good and cheap after-shave lotions are: 1. Water with a little vinegar in it. 2. Water with an aspirin dissolved in it.

Try to make a habbit out of this, and you´ll discover that you legs are everyday complete hairless, without any effort. So, start shaving smart today and you will see the results in no time!
