Woman Shaving Secrets

Every woman has her shaving secrets. If she was fortunate, she learned a few of them as a girl from a woman already shaving, maybe her mother. But more often than not, a woman began shaving without any guidance and it took some time and repeated experience before she learned what really worked for her, her secrets.

For any woman shaving, here are some basic secrets to help you achieve the kind of smooth shave you want, on any part of your body.

For the very best results, before a woman begins shaving she should always take the time to prep her skin and hair. If it's an area of the body that has long hairs, such as the pubic area, these hairs need to be trimmed down to a short stubble before a woman starts shaving.

Don't dull the blade of the razor by shaving long hairs. A woman shaving needs her blade to be as sharp as possible for the best possible shave. Besides, it makes it easier to see where a woman is shaving.

Shaving dry skin is a sure way to end up with skin irritations. Taking a long, hot shower or soaking in a hot bath for a while, will open the pores and soften the hairs, which will make it much easier once a woman begins shaving. If a shower or bath isn't convenient, at least apply a hot cloth for several minutes to whatever area is going to be shaved.

More than one woman shaving says the secret to really moisturizing the hair and skin is applying a regular hair conditioner. Just be sure to thoroughly wash this off as most hair conditioners contain chemicals and perfumes which will irritate the skin even as a woman is shaving.

A better idea is to apply Tea Tree or mineral oil. No chemicals in these. In fact a woman can leave either of these on and use them as her lubricant while shaving. They'll keep the skin good and moist and they'll certainly make the razor glide.

Never use just plain soap and water because both of these will dry the skin. Whatever lubricant a woman chooses for shaving, she should use plenty of it.

Always using a fresh new blade/razor is essential for the woman shaving. A dull blade will only pull and tear the hairs, which will increase skin irritations. Not to mention, these torn hairs will have a harder time growing back out, so ingrown hairs will be more likely.

With the exception of a woman shaving her legs, shaving should be done in the direction the hair grows first. Then a woman can start shaving against the growth to get that clean and close shave she's after.

Don't press down on the razor or shave the same area repeatedly. Both of these actions will create skin irritations.

If a woman takes her time and watches what she's doing, she should achieve the smooth shave she's wanting, with minimal skin irritations. That's the bottom line woman shaving secret.
