Swap your pink, girly razors for the men's blue ones. 

Think about it. Men's razors are made to shave delicate facial skin. So, it's enough gentle & smooth when gliding on your skin. 

You might miss the large lubricating strip on your ladies' razor. Just make it up with a dab of coconut oil before shaving. 

Tip: Go for Gillette. 

2- The Routine

Jump in the shower first before you shave! In fact, here's the proper shaving routine so you don't get nasty razor bumps:  Soak + Exfoliate + Condition + Shave + Rinse + Moisturize

The truth is you'll need to take time when it comes to shaving! Rushing things will end up with painful cuts & gritty skin. 

3- Prep your skin

No one wants ugly ingrown hairs sticking to their skin. So, don't skip these two steps BEFORE shaving: exfoliate & condition!

Exfoliate with a dry brush, loofah, or natural scrub products for a smooth, dead-skin free canvas. Never scrub your body after shaving or you'll irritate your tender skin. 

Condition your skin to get a protection layer from nicks, cuts & hair pulls. Plus, it prevents moisture loss. 

Use a body conditioner, if you're not a fan of shaving cream/gel. Avoid coconut/olive oil as they will end up blocking up your pores. 

4- Stick to the direction

Here's the key rule: 

First, shave in the direction of the grain. Then, glide in the direction against the grain for a closer shave. 

Cover small sections each time for an even result. Caution: The sharp blades can cut. So, be very slow & gentle. 

5- After-care

You're not done yet! For healthy & hydrated skin, make sure to dab on your post-shave moisturizer. 

Choose from shea butter, tea tree oil, aloe vera gel or alcohol-free men's aftershave. 

Don't leave it dry & flaky, if you plan to flaunt those legs in your best LBD. 

Shave because you want to, not because you have to! -unknown
