SHAVE WITHOUT A RASH OR BUMPS

It is totally possible to shave without getting razor rash or those itchy ugly shaving bumps. Follow these instructions and you will have a smooth, hair-free body without all of the other nasties.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • a razor with a fresh blade
  • shaving cream
  • a clean towel
  • warm to hot water
  • Aloe Vera gel or a natural lotion
  1. Step 1

    To begin, fill your tub with warm to hot bathwater and soak for about 5 minutes. Lather up your shaving areas with shaving cream, being careful to avoid spots that are sensitive.

  2. Step 2

    Shave your legs going AGAINST the grain, meaning going opposite your hair growth, and shave your bikini and underarm areas going WITH the grain, meaning gong the same direction as the hair growth. This prevents and eliminates shaving bumps.

  3. Step 3

    Apply the Aloe Vera gel after you have shaved, rinsed off, and dried off. you can also use a good quality lotion that is free of dyes, perfumes, or chemicals. This prevents razor rash.
