Shaving Your Leg The Right Way

Yes, it's true - You have two legs, but if you learn how to start shaving one leg the right way, then your other leg will have a better chance at looking good. That makes sense, right? Right.

Okay - So as with shaving any other part of your body, what you do before you even start shaving your leg will contribute to the over all results. And if you're going to bother to take the time to shave your legs, you want the best results, right? Right.

The first thing is you really need to moisturize your skin and hair before you start shaving your leg.

It's best if you can take a long, hot shower or bath. And actually, it's best if you can shave your legs while you're in the shower or bath. (But, some females are funny about shaving in the tub because they're anxious the hairs will get into areas they don't want them to go.)

The steam and hot water will open your pores and soften the hairs, both of which will make shaving your leg easier and safer.

You really do need to moisturize your skin and hair first before you start shaving your leg and just splashing on water from the sink is not going to get it. Your skin and hair will still be dry and dry skin and hair are two major contributors to irritations after leg shaving.

Again - If you're going to bother to take the time to shave your legs, do it right. Allow time for moisturizing in a shower or bath.

Next, you want to apply something that will further moisturize your skin and hair and be slick to help your razor glide easily while shaving your leg. Some females just use their regular hair conditioner. Whatever you use, make sure it doesn't contain a lot of chemicals to irritate your skin.

Now, and this is probably most important, make sure you have a clean and fresh blade in your razor. Remember, it's called shaving, not scraping ...

You may believe that because leg skin is not as sensitive as other parts of your body, it's okay to use a blade more than once for shaving your leg. Just try it and you'll find out just how sensitive you leg skin really is when you're forced to deal with red, scratchy, inflamed skin for days afterward.

It's true enough that your leg skin is not as sensitive as other areas of your body, so you can shave against the direction the hair grows, in fact you pretty much have to if you want to get the smooth legs you're after, but - Still, it's not okay to apply much pressure or go over the same area repeatedly while shaving your leg because both of these actions will also cause red, scratchy, inflamed skin.

Okay - Now that you've learned the proper way of shaving one leg, you can shave the other.

Although, Brenda Shackley from Tucson, Arizona talks like she's found the "Holy Grail" of leg shaving and will be glad to share her own innovative ideas with you.
