i've been shaving for about 8 years now and still manage to cut myself every time i shave. my legs also burn a lot after i shave and they get all itchy and i always miss spots on the back of my legs, it's just a big mess.
what are some things or tricks you do to help? such as using special shaving creams or razors or just tricks.

Why don't you try to do waxing? You don't need to shave every day and the result is great, not only smooth to the touch but it is also exfoliated removing any dead skin. Shaving make your hair hair more thicker and course.

I always just use the hair removal cream because it is very easy and hard to miss a spot because it is like putting on lotion. But if you don't want to use the cream. You could use Pantene relaxed and natural conditioner as shaving cream and that will cut down on the burning. Because that type of conditioner has more moisturizers than normal shaving cream.As far as the cuts I have never found a fool proof way to not get cut and still use a razor.

Use a shaving foam the best is Gillette for women satin care,it is more creamy than a regular foam!And buy immediately razors for women such as Gillette that have some kind of protective lane to prevent you from cutting!BE GENTLE and patient don't shave your legs cruelly and after all use moisturizing cream this is a must in order to avoid irritations!

From a guy's experience of shaving his face (who has sensitive skin), I would suggest a gel with aloe or that is formulated for sensitive skin. Next are you shaving in the shower or in a bath? If its a shower then you may need to turn off the water or get a shower head on a flexible line to help control the water so you can see. Shave with warm to hot water, don't burn yourself but you need it warm to open the pores. As for razors, multi-blade are great, and the vibrating ones are the best at giving a good close shave. Next take your time and pamper yourself when doing it, use an aloe balm on yourself afterwords.

I don't know about u but i think shaving really makes the hair grow back real fast and thick too.I feel that using an epilator is the best.u can do it when ur body is dry and its really fast too!Just slide the epilator up and down the legs a couple of times and u r done! :)

I don't see why it should be. Shave from ankle to knee from right to left of the leg. Keep the razor blade level and not slanted. Slanted will cut.

Use some shaving creams like VEET,ANNE FRENCH etc. It will not hurt u and will remove the hair easily. Other alternative is u can apply wax if u can tolerate some pain.

well instead of using shaving cream use suave conditioner. and your razor should be a venus divine. that razor is made for senstive skin and it give off lotion while you shave. dont use nare or veet. it will burn your skin off.
