Every woman knows about shaving, but do they know how to get the smoothest sheerest shave ever? If you are looking for silky smooth legs, then use these few tips to “glide” you on through!

The first thing you shoud have is a clean, new and very sharp razor blade. Whether you take a shower or a bath, you should wait a few minutes to let the warm water soften the hair. Make sure you have shaving cream or gel as soap blocks the blade from extracting hair. If you don’t have, try use your hair conditioner as it also works like a charm.

Legs: After each stroke rinse your blade. To avoid nicks and cuts on the knee area, pull your skin taut.

Underarms: After each stroke rinse your blade. The underarm hair is known to grow in various directions, so it is fine if you shave in all different directions. Up, then
down and then from side to side is what is recommended.

Bikini Line: Shave in the same direction as the hair grows. If you aggravate the hair follicle you will cause irritation which generally leads to a rash.
