Answer 2

* STEP 1: Shave in a warm shower or bath, if possible.
* STEP 2: Wait a few minutes before starting to let the leg hair soften. If you take only showers, wait until the end of the shower to shave.
* STEP 3: Sit on the ledge in your shower, if possible. If your shower has no place to sit, raise one leg against the wall of the shower and balance carefully.
* STEP 4: Apply a small amount of shaving cream, rubbing it into a thick lather and spreading it over your leg. Avoid using soap in place of shaving cream, as it will dry out your skin.
* STEP 5: Place the razor at the base of your ankle and pull gently up over your entire leg. If you experience severe razor burn, try shaving in the same direction as the hair growth. You may not get as clean a shave, but you'll avoid raising red bumps.
* STEP 6: Rinse the blade between every stroke, and be sure to keep the razor wet while you're shaving.
* STEP 7: Shave the entire leg until you've removed all the shaving cream.
* STEP 8: Rinse.
* STEP 9: Repeat for the other leg.
* STEP 10: Pat dry and moisturize.

Tips & Warnings

* Having your legs waxed at a salon is a nice alternative that also reduces overall hair growth. One drawback is that you'll have to wait for the hair to grow out before you can wax again'this can take 6 to 8 weeks. Expect to pay about $25 for a half-leg wax.
* Dull blades can cause razor burn on sensitive skin.
* Shaving areas where bone is close to the skin surface, such as ankles and knees, can result in painful cuts and nicks. If you cut your leg while shaving, get out of the bath quickly, as the hot water will increase blood flow. Dab the wound lightly with a styptic pencil. It will sting slightly, but the bleeding will stop. A touch of toilet tissue can also do the trick.

Answer 3

I believe in the middle will be BEST...

That's what I do...But I shave my beard rather....

Get yourself under the hot shower for 5 Minutes or more
Start shaving next
Do necessary inspection
Follow it with the shower again
You are done

This will give you a SMOOTH SHAVE, and an opportunity to feel & see what / where you have missed...so giving it a final touch for a complete, smooth and nice shave while continuing the shower thereafter.

It works perfectly with me...

Try it, and you will not regret it I hope...

Answer 4

For a closer shave, do it at the beginning. For sensitive skin, do it at the end. The warmth and the moisture makes you skin swell a little, so the razor irritates you less, but it won't shave the root of the hair either. So it's really about preference.

Answer 5

I found that when I shave at end of shower I get a closer shave (maybe because the hot water opens up pores?) than when I shave at the beginning

Answer 6

I read in Cosmopolitan that its best to shave at the end of your shower. It softens the hair & skin & opens the pores so you get a closer & better shave. I shave at the end of my shower but its really a personal prefrence. Do whatever works best for you! I hope this helps!

Answer 7

your pores become enlarged and it is harder to shave at the end due to not getting close shave. However, if you do choose to do it at the end of ur shower, you can reduce the bad shave effect just by holding ur skin taut, just like when u pluck ur eyebrows.

Or you could say stuff all that and just buy Veet shower cream hair remover. absolutely fabulous stuff and doesnt matter when u do it lol

Answer 8

True ur hair is softer towards the end, i always shave at the end so i wont use all the hot water before i bathe.

Answer 9

your skin is always better towards the end your hair shafts are softer and easier to get a better shave plus most of your dead skin drops off and getting a closer and easier shave with less nicks

Answer 10

The middle.
Example:
*Get in the shower, wet hair, shampoo & rinse, put conditioner, wash body while conditioner sets-shave. Then completely rinse off.
That way the hair to shave off softened up a bit and you don't have to rinse off several times.

Answer 11

the end. skin softer and allows for a better shave. and if u can't get quite as close a shave, do it very slightly more regularly
