1. Exfoliate Your Skin
You want to remove your dead skin cells before you shave. So make sure you exfoliate!
2. Wait a Few Minutes in the Shower
Don't shave as soon as you step into the shower. The longer you let the water wash over you, the more your hair follicles will open up. That means you'll be able to shave easier.
Frequently asked questions
3. Use a Soothing Shaving Cream
Pick one with "natural vegetable oils and butters." It's healthy for your skin and will make shaving ten times easier.
4. Save Your Ankles and Knees for Last
These are the areas that can hurt you the most. That's why you want to save them for last, to give them a chance to soak for longer.
5. Replace Your Disposable Razors
You should replace your razors every single month. You don't want to use them for too long or they won't do their job properly.
6. Use a Soothing Moisturizer
This will reduce any redness that appears on your skin. It's a real life saver!

Sev: I only shave with grapeseed oil now. It's naturally soothing to calm redness and keeps the shave close, plus it prevents rust on the razor :)
Sally: I use L'occitaine Almond shower oil , I find it brilliant
Ramya: Rid of redness ..
Nicki: I have heard that after you shave,your Vajj,lol;) That if you rub condishner(sp?) Will make it so theres no razor burn,Is this true? And are there any other shaving hacks against razor burn(besides the obvisce)
Liza: I use Jack Black's "Post Shave Cooling Gel". It's alcohol free & works wonders on redness as it's made with lavender. Yes, it is made for men, but it's strong enough for a woman. 😉
Jackie: I replace my razors every other week or so.
Ramya: Ice cube is an another idea to get rid of redness after shaving
