Get the skin wet with hot water. The water needs to be as hot as you can stand to open up your pores and soften your hair. Ideally, the skin you are shaving should be under running water.

Shave the skin with a new razor blade. Only press the blade onto your skin as needed to shave the hair. If you press as hard as you normally would when using shave gel, you will probably cut yourself. Be extremely careful with going over bumps such as a chin or knees.

Wet the skin with cold water when you are through shaving. This will close the pores back up and reduce your chances of irritation and bumps.

Moisturize the skin if you have any lotion. However, if you do have lotion, you could use that to shave with instead of water. Aloe Vera gel will also help reduce irritation and redness.

Tips & Warnings
Before shaving with only water and a razor, look around your house to make sure there is nothing else you could use to shave, such as dish soap, bar soap, shampoo, conditioner or bubble bath.
Don't ever shave without water. A dry shave will usually result in very painful irritation.
