Use cheap conditioner for shaving your legs

So everyone is cutting back on things these days. Financially, families are having tough times making ends meet. Another way to cut back is to eliminate buying shaving cream to shave your legs. Here is how to shave your legs without shaving cream.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Wet your legs just as you would before you begin shaving. Some people may shave in the shower, others on the side of the bath tub. Either way is fine.

  2. Step 2

    Next, instead of getting out the can of shaving cream there is a substitute that can be used in place of shaving cream that is a great moisturizer, and will keep your legs silky smooth. Hair conditioner. If you use extremely expensive hair conditioner, you may not want to waste that on your legs, the cheapest of hair conditioners will work. Most of the time you can find conditioner at your local Wal-Mart, or CVS pharmacy for around $1.00. Get out what ever hair conditioner that you have that you won't mind using.

  3. Step 3

    Squeeze a small amount into the palm of your hand, just as you would for lotion or shaving cream.

  4. Step 4

    Rub down your legs with the conditioner.

  5. Step 5

    Shave your legs as you normally would any other time.

  6. Step 6

    Rinse off your legs, and you can actually feel how silky smooth your legs feel. And they are moisturized all in one step!

Tips & Warnings
  • Be sure to rinse out your razor frequently while using hair conditioner to shave your legs. The conditioner will build up fast in the blades because it is thick.
