1. Shower or bathe before you shave. Soaking hair and skin in warm water
makes it more than twice as easy to get a clean, close shave.
2. Use gel or shaving cream. This keeps moisture in the hair and helps
the razor glide easily over your skin. Reapply when you retrace your steps to
go over an area again. Never shave on bare skin.
3. Use a fresh blade. Dull blades lead to nicks, cuts, and razor burn.
Ouch! Sharp, new blades give you a closer, smoother, more comfortable shave.
Replace your razor when it shows signs of overuse or when you re no longer
getting a clean shave.
4. Easy does it and go with the flow. Use a light touch with your razor
and don't apply pressure. Press on the razor and you may gouge your skin. Can
you say "bloody mess?" Wherever you take it off, go in the direction
that feels right. For example, on your lower leg go up from ankle to knee. For
other areas, see what feels and works best to find the direction your hair
grows. When shaving your bikini area, pull the skin tight to make it smooth, then go lightly
over the area with the razor.
5. Save the tough stuff for last. Do the easiest parts first, like that
long straight stretch of lower leg or upper thigh. Save smaller,
harder to reach spots like knees and ankles for last. A great razor with a head
that swivels makes it easier to move around small curves. After shaving, rinse
with cool water to close your pores. Pat dry.
6. Seal with a kiss. Of moisturizer, that is. Coat the area with a
protective layer of moisture to seal your skin and give it a healthy glow.
