Thread: Leg shaving

Whenever I shave my legs I always get a shaving rash, so although I have smooth legs I still can't show them off cause they're covered in red dots!

Does anyone have any tips to stop this?

Use hair removing cream/mousse...? Or cheap yet effective 'Silkymitts' (basically lightguage sandpaper-99p for 3!) Exfoliates at the same time!
I'm the same with shaving, and am too much of a big girly for wax, so always use one of these...

Your lucky you only get razor rash, I end up slashing my legs all over the place and no matter what I do I can prevent it :[
Im going to try shaving cream when I run out of razors though, so you could try that?

I use conditioner instead of shaving foam - then brush down and moisturise - works for me

I slash my legs up a lot too, and the removal creams give me a rash as well!

I will try the conditioner though.

I've started to use conditioner, I get a much closer shave.
Just make sure you use a sharp enough blade, and moisturise afterwards. I use baby oil when I'm out of the shower while my legs are still wet and it stops me getting so many ingrowns.

That new five blade venus razor is quite good... or it might just be
that my old razor blade was getting a bit dull.

Another user of conditioner here! much nicer then most creams I've used.

it was a tip from my mum shes always used conditionor and i started using it when i was at uni because it was cheaper than shaving foam

I use Silkymitts sometimes too! They are brilliant and because they exfoliate you have amazingly smooth legs afterwards. I use depilatory cream as well - these days they work quickly and don't stink the place up as much as they used to. I've never, ever shaved my legs.
