Shaving Tips

Try not to shave first thing in the morning. Allow your body at least 20 minutes to remove the excess fluids that build up while you sleep. Your legs can appear to have "stubble" a few hours after shaving if you shave too soon after waking up.

Use an exfoliating product to remove dead skin cells. Dead skin cells cause your razor to drag not glide.

Wash legs to remove excess oils and soften hairs.

When showering shave legs last to allow more time for hairs to soften.

Use a shaving cream or moisturizing gel to glide razor over legs easily.

Apply the cream or gel in an upward motion over your legs to lift hairs.

Avoid using soap which can dry your skin.

If you have sensitive skin or abrasions use a single blade razor or one made specifically for sensitive skin.

If you find your legs are still too sensitive for shaving no matter what steps you take consider using a hair removal cream instead.

For normal skin use a twin blade for the best results.

Replace your disposable blades after every 4-5 shaves.

Remember to shave in the direction of hair growth to get a clean close shave.

Start with the legs and then ankle & bikini areas.

Use long, even upward strokes on the legs and take care around easy to nick areas like knees & angles.

Shave underarms last as those hairs are course and can dull your blade prematurely.

Underarm hairs grow at all angles. Use up, down & sideways motions to get all the hairs. Use light pressure and go over underarm area many times to remove all the hairs.

Always remember to rinse your razor or shaver thoroughly and let air dry.

Do not rub a wash cloth over the blades to remove debris as it can dull the blade.

Apply a moisturizer or aloe gel immediately after shaving to soothe the skin and lock in moisture.

Don't shave dry if you can help it. Dry hairs are not prepared for shaving and they can dull your blade and cause "shaver burn".
