Cheat Sheet

1 Allow warm water to soften the hair for at least three minutes before starting to shave.

2 For the closest shave, smooth a half dollar-size blob ?of shaving cream or gel (a thick body wash can substitute) over the leg against the growth pattern to raise the hairs and make them more accessible.

3 Find a sturdy, nonslippery surface, such as the edge of the shower or bathtub, to rest your foot with the knee bent at about a 45-degree angle. Start at the ankle, gliding a sharp razor over six- to eight-inch sections of skin, rinsing the blades between each stroke.

4 To address bony knees and ankles, put feet flat on the floor and bend at the waist. Pull the skin taut with one hand while shaving in light, short movements.

5 For the closest shave under your arms, pull the razor upward, then downward, and finally from side to ?side. Rinse the razor and reapply shaving cream each time you change directions.
