How to Shave Your Legs

One way to get rid of unwanted hair is by shaving. When shaving your legs, make sure that you use new blades. Dull blades can cause razor burns on sensitive skin, and you wouldn’t want that, of course.

Try to shower in a warm shower or bath. Wait a few minutes under the water before you start shaving. The warm temperature makes the hair softer. If you are just taking a shower, shave after taking one.

To avoid accidents, make sure you are sitting down on the ledge of your bath. If you have no place to sit, then raise one leg and prop it somewhere elevated. Do be careful and make sure you are carefully and steadily balanced.

Apply a small amount of shaving cream unto your palm and work it into a lather. Spread it evenly over your leg. Try not to use soap as it will dry out your skin.

Shaving against the grain might get you a clean shave but it will also cause your skin red bumps. Shave along the hair growth. Rinse the blade of the razor between every stroke. Shave until the shaving cream is gone. Rinse and repear for the other leg.

Pat dry with a clean towel and don’t forget to apply moisturizer afterwards.

If you nick yourself, simply dab the wound lightly with a cotton pad with some antiseptic. Get another pad and press on top of the nick until the bleeding stops.
