Ten Shaving Tips To Keep You Happy

1. Don't waste your money on shaving creams formulated especially for women. They are virtually the same as the creams sold for men. Now if you can just find a scent that you can live with.

2. It is really important for your legs to be wet for at least a couple of minutes before you start shaving. Less than that and you risk irritation.

3. You are going to have to experiment with razors until you find the perfect one for you. Ask your friends for recommendations. I recently started sampling a variety and was amazed how different each of them feel.

4. Some shaving products can contain irritants which are going to cause red bumps and ingrown hairs. Try a shower gel or a hair conditioner instead and see if it works better for you.

5. Be sure to apply a moisturizer over your freshly shaved skin but be sure that it doesn't contain AHA. That can cause irritation and you don't want that.

6. Be gentle when you get out of the tub or shower. Be sure to dab your skin dry, gently.

7. If you find your skin is still irritated, try an antibiotic like Neosporin. It offers quick relief.

8. Be sure to exfoliate your skin before shaving. It gets rid of all the dead skin cells that could clog up your razor, preventing a close shave.

9. Be sure to change razors or cartridges on a regular basis. It only defeats the purpose to use a dull razor.

10. If your hair is course, try using an alum block to lift the hairs.
