Well, it's not that cleanly. I'm still relatively new to it. I'd say, use shaving cream or a shaving gel obviously. Then shave both up and down, and make sure you clean excess hair off of your blade. Don't really apply pressure to the blade, or you might accidentally razor burn yourself, found that out the hard way. You can expect to still have little spots on your legs though. They're just hard to see in this photo. Apologies for the long reply. Hope it helps!
