So for all of you women out there who reach for the razor instead of pining for the wax appointment that is weeks away — allow for the smoothest shave possible.
The following collection of tips will help to achieve the best results possible:
Let body soak in the shower or bath water for several minutes before beginning, this softens the hair.
Let shaving cream sit on skin for two minutes before shaving — this will eliminate razor burn
Shave in all directions, as hair grows in all directions
Avoid soap in place of shaving cream — it parches your skin tremendously (if you are in a bind, use hair conditioner)

Use short strokes
Pat dry when finished
Combine small amount of mineral oil with daily moisturizer
