How to Shave Your Legs Without All The Nicks

Use a sharp blaze to shave your legs.

Without the right tools and techniques, shaving hair from your legs can add nicks at the same time. Avoid this annoyance by preparing your legs for shaving. Removing dead skin and softening hair will make it easier to remove. A sharp blade will glide over your skin, preventing nicks. A slow and steady hand will get you smooth, nick-free legs in no time.

Instructions

1. Let warm water run over your legs in the shower for three to five minutes to soften the hair.

2. Exfoliate your legs to remove dead skin cells.

3. Apply shaving cream or baby oil to your legs.

4. Begin shaving against the direction of hair growth with a sharp blade. Glide it along your legs without pressing down. Rinse the razor frequently.

5. Rinse the shaving gel off your legs. After your shower, pat your legs dry with a towel and apply lotion.
