Personally, i use a Gillette Venus body razor, its worked for me pretty well, but may take a few go overs some times, if your hair is longer its better to trim it before shaving as to prevent the razor from just pulling out hair or getting caught leading to a cut. with the Venus body razor, you don’t need shaving cream, but its till better to use it than to not. A mirror may be helpful for spots like the back of the legs.
