Advice

  • Take your time. If you shave too quickly, you may cut yourself. Make sure you hold the blade steady.
  • Depending on how thick your leg hair is, you may need an electric razor to make this easier. If the hair is too long when you are cutting it, it may tear off the skin, causing bleeding.
  • Always change the blade after a few uses.
  • Make sure the cream is applied EVENLY, otherwise you may have to shave the same area again, causing irritation.

Warnings

  • Be gentle with the razor blade. If you press too hard, you will create tension between the skin and the blade, and may cause bleeding.
  • Be careful of your thighs. The skin in that area is very delicate and if you cut yourself you could get infected.
  • Keep your legs straight as you shave them behind the knee and be very careful. There, too, the skin is very delicate.
