Shaving Your Legs
Things Required
* Razor
* Women's Shaving Gel
* Women's Shaving Brush
* Moisturizer
* Water
* Towel
Procedure
* Wet the razor with warm water. You should moisten your legs with warm water as
well, because the heat thus generated would relax the hair follicles, thereby
making it easier to shave.
* Place your moist legs at the edge of your bathtub. Now, apply the shaving gel
on both sides of your leg. Form lather, using a shaving brush.
* Place the razor on the upper portion of your leg and slide it down in a gentle
manner, to shave off the hair. Be sure to do it slowly and steadily, because
unsteady hand can cause cuts and nicks.
* Start shaving at the front of your leg, slowly working around. Now, move
towards the back of your leg.
* Rinse the razor with water in between the strokes.
* After you are done with shaving, make sure that you have removed hair from
every part of your legs. If hair is still left, apply the shaving gel in the
left-out part of your leg and strike the razor once again.
* Repeat the above steps for the other leg as well.
* Rinse your legs with cool water.
* Dry your legs with a clean towel and then apply moisturizer.
Tips
* Always choose a sharp razor for shaving, specially designed for women.
* To keep the blade sharp for repeated use, store the razor in a cup of hydrogen
peroxide.
* Electric razor is not suited for the beginners, because it can cause nicks and
cuts easily.
* Always change the razor once it gets blunt.
* Rubbing an ice cube immediately after shaving can decrease the burning
sensation experienced after the process.
* The best place to shave your legs is bathtub, where you can wet your legs
conveniently. |
