Answer 1

when shaving anywhere you have to remember to wet the area before you start, make sure it's properly lathered up, and have fresh razor. When shaving your legs i usually wet my leg, lather it up, and shave in and upward direction all around my leg..sometimes i'll shave downward to make sure i get everything...basically same priniciple for your arms i guess i dont need to shave mine..usually about once a week if you wanna keep it smooth and stuble free and no it doesnt hurt unless you accidentally nick yourself but even that doesnt hurt much

Answer 2

I would not recommend shaving your arms because the hair there serves as a protection for your arms from certain things.

I would also recommend that you discuss your concerns with your mom for additional information.

As for shaving the legs, I didn't start doing that til I was 16 years old. Yes, it can itch when the hair grows back. The hair will also be come coarser (hard) after every shave.

I would shave about every 3 or 4 weeks when I did it on a regular basis. I don't do it much anymore.

Make sure you have a new blade and not a cheap one. Go slow and don't try to hurry. Grooming is up to the person. Some people don't shave and others shave everyday. I wouldn't shave my arms unless I had really dark hair, but remember the underarms always---can look really bad.

hii ok well i started shaving when i was 11 even though im like blonde, so you couldnt see the hair at all... for your legs, it doesnt really matter if you use shaveing gel or not, it just takes longer if you do! i personally dont... lol... and just go upward but make sure you get everything cuz sometimes you miss a few spots (especially on the top of your legs) so you might just have to redo it a littleee.... as for your arm pits, just do it really fast but like steady and close to your arm pit so that it doesnt feel like you are "cutting" or "pulling" out the hair! and if you are shaving your arms, just go up towards your elbow but you dont have to do that unless your really hairy, but you said you werent... lol.... i use like anyyy kind of razor... but i use disposable... lol ooo and i try to do it every day or two, but sometimes i'll be soo olazy and wait like a week... lol... oooo and shaving in its self does it hurt... hmm well your legs and arms dont, but if you do not go fast, it will hurt under your arm pits... so go fast =) hehe... ooo and also it really doesnt hurt to cut your self with a razor =) at least girls cut their legs but boys if they cut themselves, they cut their face! haha o and lastly, i dont have more black headsss

<3 hope i helped sweetiee !

If you have to ask how to do it then you should ask your parents...Why would you want to shave your arms?
