The Art of a Damn Good Shave

The Art of a Damn Good Shave

Shaving has lost it’s art.

A great shave will not only save you time (less shaving) but you’ll appear more put together. A careful and curated process must exist in order to get those silky smooth legs. So here is how you can get’er done in 3 easy steps.

1. Steal your boyfriend or husband’s razor. Their razors are always sharper for some reason? If you are not in love, congratulations. It means you are building your empire. But an empress must have silky, smooth legs too.

Tip: My best rule of thumb? The newer the blade, the better the shave.

2. Products are a must BEFORE, DURING and AFTER the shaving process.

Before: A long hot bath soak will not only soften your skin and hair – but it makes for a better shave. Why? It removes dead skin and helps hairs stand up straight – meaning you can get a much closer shave. I am currently loving One Love Organics‘ Sea Salt Soak. So luxurious.

Tip: If you don’t have time for a bath, always shampoo and condition your hair BEFORE shaving. It gives your skin and hair time to soften up in the hot water and the shampoo and conditioner moisturizes your skin as you wash it out.

During: If you want a remarkable and easy shave – I highly suggest a shaving balm. The oils are especially conditioning and doesn’t clog up your razor like shaving cream. Once again, One Love Organics’ Aloe + Shea Conditioning Shave Balm is off the charts and smells like a spa.

Tip: If you happen to run out of of shaving balm or shaving cream, hair conditioner makes for a great, temporary replacement!

After: Want to look irresistible in a dress or shorts? Lotion up kids. Shaving dries out your skin and ashy legs are not a good look. Lotion is the finishing touch for achieving that healthy glow.

3. What’s a tub without bubbles?! Did you know alcohol makes everything better? 😉 Enjoying an adult beverage while soaking makes for an over all enjoyable process. Which means you are more likely to invest time in a good shave all over again.
