Shaving Tips For Women

1. Moisten skin with water for about three minutes. Shaving oil is the best bet for a close smooth shave. Water plumps up the hair, making it easier to cut, and the shaving oil helps retain the moisture.
2. Use long, even strokes without applying excessive pressure. Shave carefully over bony areas like ankles, shins and knees.
3. For knees, bend slightly to pull the skin tight before shaving, as folded skin is difficult to shave.
4. Stay warm to prevent goose bumps, as any irregularity in the skin surface can complicate shaving.
5. Don't press too hard! Simply let the blade and handle do the work for you.
6. Remember to shave in the direction of hair growth. Take your time and shave carefully over sensitive areas. For a closer shave, carefully shave against the grain of hair growth.
