Using Conditioner Instead of Shaving Gel
I was always running out of shaving gel for shaving my legs. It was really frustrating. I could never tell when the can was almost empty. It would just quit on me. I kept hearing women talk about using hair conditioner on their legs instead of shaving gel. It seemed a little weird to me. I mean, why in the world would you want to coat your legs with hair conditioner??? Well, a few months ago, when I ran of shaving gel once again, I grabbed my hair conditioner. You know what??? I have not bought any shaving gel since then. I like the hair conditioner better and at about $1.00 a bottle (I buy Sauve) it is much less expensive. Now, do not go using expensive conditioner for this, use the cheap stuff and make sure it smells good!
I use just straight soap. I use goat milk soap because it’s gentle on my skin, and I don’t add anything to it (I used to add baby oil). I very rarely have nicks or razor burn any more. This is no additional cost with better results than I got with shaving gel or creams.
