Shaving Tips

So everytime I shave I always cut myself so many times.
I've tried different razers and shaving creams/soaps.
Suggestions??

Well for starters, don't reuse blades too many times because they become dull quickly, and thats when you get cut. Another thing, don't apply too much pressure and dont go too fast!

Hm. Well I'm careful of not using dull blades. And I guess I could slow down.. I do tend to go kind of fast since I'm usually in a hurry. So hopefully that will help.
I really want to fix this since my legs look horrible in the summer with seventeen little red cuts on each legs. Ridiculous.

I've heard that moisturizing your legs before you shave helps the razor glide along the skin easier.

i read that if you shave in the shower, use conditioner as a shave cream and it will prevent those cuts

before you take a shower (like 1/2 hour before) put baby oil on your legs, it makes the razor glide easier, it softens your legs and it should reduce cuts

If you don't have any, you can by it from zellers, a small bottle is $1

Yeahh definately use conditioner.
Another thing you could do is to shave at the very end of your shower because if you do it right when you get in, the hairs won't be soft yet. That's why you shouldnt shave dry.

If you shave in the shower, it works really well. Since your le is totally wet, it is guarenteed not to be dry. And use ALOT of shaving cream. It seems to work well, and it avoids getting cuts. Make sure you shave the night before, since if you shave in the morning, you're always in a rush, and your legs are suaully not wet enough.

Oh, and use a razor that has a moveable "Head" (?) so it moves to the shape of your leg. Usually Venus razors are pretty good.

^^ true
And I agree with he Venus razors. I use Venus Embrace and it's really good. I can go like 2 weeks without shaving because my hair is really light to begin with, and the razor works well.
