The Beautiful Bare Body Shaver
It doesn't matter if you're male or female. It doesn't matter if you're younger or older. If you shave your body bare, your body looks beautiful.Body hair hasn't been needed for warmth or protection since caveman days. Body hair hasn't been needed as a sexual signal for almost as long. Throughout the centuries, people of both sexes have been fashioning their body hair in different ways for a variety of reasons, but mostly for aesthetics - To look good.Today, both males and females believe a bare body is a beautiful body. And while there are a number of hair removal methods available, shaving with a wet razor is still the number one way to get any part of the body bare. It's convenient, it's quick, it's easy and it's inexpensive.But unfortunately, if you're not using this shaver properly, your bare body won't look so beautiful. Having a bare body with swollen, red, splotchy even scabby skin is probably worse that having a hairy body.So the trick is to learn to use your shaver properly to ensure that you always have a beautiful bare body. Following these suggestions based on generations of people's experiences using a wet shaver, here are some suggestions to help you get a beautiful bare body, without all the irritations:While you're sleeping, your skin fills with fluid, which puffs up and hides a good part of your hairs. If you wait to shave for about 30 minutes after waking up, you'll get a closer shave.If you're going to be using your wet shaver on your head, face, (if you have a beard or mustache), chest, back or pubic area, you'll have long hairs that will need to be trimmed down to a stubble, with scissors or a hair trimmer, before you begin to shave your body bare. Doing so will help you see where to shave, and it will save wear and tear on your shaver. When you can see where you're shaving and your shaver's blade is not dulled, you'll be better able to get a beautiful bare body.Always moisturize your skin and hair before shaving. Never use your wet shaver dry. Dry hair is tough and will break more easily, leaving jagged tips on hairs which only irritate your beautiful bare body.Take a long, hot shower or bath. In fact, shave while you're in the shower or bath if it's convenient. The hot water and steam will open the pores and make hairs softer, which will make it much easier for your shaver to get close for that smooth bare body look.Apply whatever you prefer to lubricate your skin to help your shaver glide easily and smoothly across your skin as you're shaving. Working this into your skin with a circular motion will help raise the hairs. Allow this to sit on your skin and hair for several minutes. And make sure you always have plenty as you're shaving.If you want a bare body that is truly beautiful, ALWAYS make sure your shaver has a clean, sharp blade before shaving. And if you're shaving a large area, such as your chest, have extra blades within reach if your shaver even starts to drag.A dull blade will pull and tear hairs instead of cutting them cleanly. Think about what grass looks like when it's cut with a dull blade ... This is the number one reason a bare body doesn't look so beautiful after shaving.Shave with your skin in a relaxed condition. Don't stretch the skin taut thinking it will give you a closer shave. This will only cut the hairs too short and greatly increase skin irritations leading to ingrown hairs.Move your shaver across the hairs in the direction the hair grows first. After you've removed the bulk of these hairs, then you can shave against the hair growth. This will provide you with the clean, close and smooth bare body you're after. You really shouldn't need to shave over any area more than this second time. And you really don't want to if you can help it because it will aggravate your already sensitized skin.Some people press down with their shaver, thinking it will give them a smoother bare body. But it only causes more friction, and more friction causes razor burns. Only apply as much pressure as absolutely necessary.Always shave slowly and carefully.It's so satisfying when your shaver leaves your bare body feeling silky smooth afterward.Only one thing could make it even more satisfying - That's to find out what Marlee Sanderson from Naples, Florida has to say about maintaining a perfectly bare body without all the hassles and discomfort that more contemporary body hair removal methods produce
A Beauteous Bikini Shave
A bikini shave involves removing the pubic hairs that extend out from the main pubic area at the top of the thighs.
