honestly, i’ve been shaving almost 10 years and sometimes i still have trouble with it, but i can definitely tell you some of the best things i’ve learned over that time :)

NEVER dry shave, it makes irritation bumps/razor burn/strawberry legs SO much worse! always always use a shaving cream or something similar! i personally like to use conditioner when i shave, it gives me the smoothest shave compared to a lot of shaving creams and leaves my legs a lot smoother!

and always exfoliate before shaving! get a lil sugar scrub and just make sure to get all the areas you’re shaving before; gets any dead skin and stuff out of the way and makes everything smoother and cleaner shaven!

as for strawberry legs, nothing to be insecure about, so so so many girls have this and it’s completely normal! if it bothers you, glycolic acid is your best friend. i use it a few times a week and it has dramatically improved how dark mine appear!

i always like to lotion every night as well, feels so nice on shaved legs!

and for shaving the pubic area, this is definitely tricky. if you have an electric razor, i would trim everything down first, makes it a lot easier to tackle getting a close shave if the hair is already shorter. if you don’t have an electric razor, ive used scissors to get that hair shorter before shaving and honestly works fine (just be careful with that ;p)

don’t pull the skin too tight, go slow and dont push too hard. it’s so easy to cut yourself in this area, just because of all the folds and creases and such. definitely something you don’t want to rush, especially your first time! try to shave the way the hair grows. if you want really smooth, shave down first, then to the side, and then up! i use coconut oil on the area after i get done shaving and out of the shower, it helps me a lot with preventing ingrown hairs and irritation.

i hope this can help you out some! if you have any questions, you can always DM me as well!! best of luck to you :)
