how do you use a razor, to shave your legs?

Question

I've never worried about my legs' hair... because i didn't have much.
but now it seems like a lot! my mom tells me not to shave because the hair will get thicker and darker and grow faster..
is this true?

anyway, what kind of razor is easy to handle with the first time?
and how do you use it?
do you also need a shaving cream or other stuff besides the razor in order to shave?

i'm really confused[=

Answer 2

Whatever you use on your legs the hair will grow back.

Once you start removing the hair, you make a lifetime committment to it!!

A wet razor does the best job - don't use soap, its too drying. Just get a cheap mens shaving foam. Cover leg well, and starting from the ankle draw the razor gently up the leg, being careful around the knee area. Be careful at the back of your ankle too. Rinse well after.

Answer 3

why do you think shaving cream was invented if you don't need it? it isn't necessary, you could use soap, but it's easier. You can use any razor you want. they are all practically the same. It's easy, put the razor on your leg, close to the ankle, and pull towards your knee. every couple inches, rinse off the razor. make sure all the hair falls off. you might want to go over the same spot a couple of times the first time you try it.

-use any brand with triple blade comfort.
-apply shaving cream 2 wet skin. (make sure it smells good as some leave and awful smell when finish)
-shave leg upwards (towards u)
-the hair will 'LOOK' thicker & darker becuz shaving causes the tip of the hair follicle to be blunt instead of the usually pointed.
-hair doesnt grow any faster!!
-shave every 2 weeks as it is easier to manage

Answer 5

Tis a bit like pringles, once you pop u cant stop! Once you start you will have to continue...believe me it is a pain in the ***. So if u have to do it, buy a fairly good ladies razor or your Dad´s Gillete sensor blades are good too, use his shave foam or buy a specail one, wet legs, put SMALL amount of gel/foam on them, spread it out.....and then start at the bottom and work up, also advise just doing the bottom part of your legs cause the thigh hairs usually go blond in sun.

Answer 6

shaving does make the hair thicker and darker. and it will grow back quickly. but since you havent tried shaving yet, you should try Nair or Veet. they're both creams that take the hair off in a few minutes, and the results last longer than shaving.

Answer 7

ok Im going to be trustworthy with you. the 1st time you wax it does harm yet its in basic terms momentarily. however the final suggestion i components you is DONT shave. I even have made that mistake and your hair in basic terms advance thicker. once you wax, the entire hair comes out and could stay like that for 4 weeks. additionally, your dermis will sense super. I fairly propose that in case you do have hair and you carry out a little variety of interest in school the place your legs practice, you are able to desire to wax them.

Answer 8

Watch your mom do it. Be very careful around the knees and ankles...it's very easy to cut yourself in those areas.
