*~!Shaving 101*~!

If you decide to shave, here are some tips!

*BEFORE*

~Exfoliate - remove dead skin to help it glide easier and prevent nicks and irritation
~Soak area for at least 5 minutes with mildly hot water - it opens the pores to make it easier to shave
~Use a shaving cream or moisturizing gel

*DURING*
~Change your blade every 5 - 7 days to make sure its not dull
~Check for rusted marks & damage to the aloe strip
~While shaving, rinse shaver with warm water to unclog the shaver - helps it glide better and prevents nicks and irritations
~Shave in the direction the hair is growing (usually shaving upward)

*AFTER*
~Rinse your shaver
~Apply a body moisturizer or aloe vera gel to trap in moisture to and keep it smooth

*NEVER EVER*
~Dry Shave - Cause irritation and inflammation
~Use someone else's razor
~Apply too much pressure - can nick yourself or even cut yourself
~Girls don't shave anywhere on your face - It comes back thicker and more noticeable!!!!!

*What I do*
~ I use Gillette's Mach 3 (yes I know it's for guys) because guys tend to have thicker and coarse hair, therefore it's easier to get the thick hair. Venus is similar (I still like Mach 3 better)
~I don't use shaving cream or gel. I use hair conditioner because it not only moisturizes your hair but it does the same for you skin
~I shave at the end of my shower or bath because water can seep into your pores and cause bumps and ingrown hairs and I know that my body has been in water for at least 5 minutes.

*theyre really isnt that much to shaving i dont think. all i do is put shaving cream on my wet legs in the shower and shave upwards on my legs and im pretty much done after rinsing. lotion is a must after shaving though, and as being careful. also, try to put the lotion on near the time when you get out of the shower, because it moisturizes you better. thats pretty much all i have to say! abbey*

Well great tips and if you shave everyday you should change the razor after 3 or four times.
