DO!:

*Wait at least 20 minutes after you wake up before shaving.  This 
 guarantees a really close shave (body fluids puff up your skin while 
 you sleep, "hiding" some of your hair shaft).

*Soak in the shower for three minutes before shaving to soften hair.  And 
 use a shaving cream or gel so you'll be able to see where you've already 
 shaved.

*Shave your underarms from side to side as well as up and down to make 
 sure you get a totally hair-free pit.


DON'T!:

*Go out in the sun or swim for at least two hours after you shave.  
 Chlorine, salt, and some sunscreens can totally irritate freshly shaven 
 legs!

*Shave in random directions on your legs.  you should work from your ankles 
 up toward your knees, using long strokes.

*Apply deodorant immediately after shaving your pits-it's a major ouch 
 move.
