Tricks of Shaving!

LovexxLife

This is going to sound really stupid of me to start this thread! But I need help!
The thing I find is Im always buying disposable razors! And even new razors heads which are more expensive! What am I doing wrong!
So I go with a disposable razor with maybe half my light and then it stops working cos its full of hair and then I throw that one in the bin and get another. Like I tried leaving them in hot water to get the hair outta them to try to use them again.
I find the same problem with using those fancy Venus spa breeze and Venus Olay razors.

Can you share your tricks and tips with me?

I don't think leaving them in water will help, but putting the razor under running water should get rid of the hair?

Yeah running water would be better than soaking them. It could also be something to do with whatever kind of shaving foam you use that could be making the hair stick to the blades? I actually don't use any shaving foam etc (just do it in the shower under running water) and never have any trouble with hair stuck in the blade...

I dont use any shaving forms or anything I just use the razor only

I find a cheap conditioner brilliant compared to any shaving gels etc and it leaves your legs really soft, it also doesn't clog up the razor.. I can't just use a razor and water, it irritates my skin and leave it quite dry.

What are shaving gels/foams etc.. meant to do?

meeeeh

Buy men's razors. I stopped buying Venus ages ago.

Under running water or dry? Do you wash your legs before you shave? Just asking because if there are any natural oils etc on your skin, that could be causing the hairs to stick to the blades. I think running water would help too if you don't do that already.

Just brush the hairs out of the blades, by brushing the opposite way to the cutting edge.

You'd go through a lot of razors if you threw them out every time they got a few hairs in them...

Ps, waxing is way more efficient.

Skip to 5 minutes for the actual shaving.

Intuition blades are your only man! If it clogs up jut run it under running water (or the shower) to unclog. Disposable razors are meant to be disposable after a full use or two, not one pass on a leg!
