subject: How To Make A Shave Last Longer Than A Day [print this page] 1. Wet your skin in a mid-to-very warm bath or shower and let hair soften from the heat and moisture. Warm water opens the pores and.softens the skin / hair. Don't use HOT water. You don't want to shave dry skin. Shaving is a natural exfoliator and you'll clog up the razor with dead skin while putting yourself at risk for nicks.
2. Apply shaving lotion to your legs by gently rubbing it in with a loofah or apply by hand in circular motions massaging deeply into legs. Start at your ankle and work your way up to the top of your thigh near your groin area so your leg is covered in Exfoliating Shaving Lotion. Do not rinse off.
3. Prop your foot on ledge of tub or against the wall of the shower, so leg is bent and you can reach more easily and begin shaving. Start at your ankle and slide the razor up to your knee with medium pressure (you don't need to press hard). Rinse the razor off in between strokes - RINSE IT FREQUENTLY.
4. Repeat using long upward strokes until you have gone all the way around the lower part of your leg. As you slide the razor up with one hand, feel the now-shaved part of your leg with the other to see if you missed a spot and go over it again until it's smooth.
5. Now shave the top of your thigh, using upward strokes. On the back of your thigh, glide your hand in various directions to feel which way the hair is going. Shave against the grain (in the opposite direction that the hair is growing). You may have to work in sections to get it completely shaved.
6. Now carefully shave your knee area. This is the hardest part to get. Shave in various directions with knee bent, then straighten knee and carefully go over again. The hair on the knee can be inconsistent and tends to have "missed" spots. Repeat same process with the other leg.
7. After getting out of the shower, wipe off excess water from your legs but don't dry off completely. While legs are still somewhat moist and pores are open from the shower, generously apply a body lotion. Rub in thoroughly enjoying the complete aromatherapy experience.
