Answer 1

exfoliating before you shave n yea letting the hair grow a bit... or u culd just wax

Answer 2

use nair instad of shaving to prevent, witch hazel or aloe vera gel to cure razor burn you already have

Answer 3

sometimes you just need to let the hair on your legs grow a little bit. but not a lot to make yourself look like my dad lol.

if you shave everyday it can irritate it and make it burn or itch or...

what you can do is wait a few days to shave or i know this may sound nuts but if you take cotton balls and soak them in milk then rub it on your burns it will help the burn go away.  

Answer 4

do not shave everyday. make sure that you do not have goose bumps on your legs. make sure to use shaving cream or soap. once you have shaved put on some lotion.

Answer 5

take a 10-20 min. hot, steamy bath before shaving; this helps soften the skin and allows you to make close, clean strokes. make sure your tub is relatively clean and don't use any soap or bubble bath. don't shave against the direction of your hair growth and try not to go over the same area more than 2-3 times. don't stretch or squeeze your skin. try aveeno shaving cream--it works much better than any other cream i've used thus far. shave in sections (i.e. calf, knee, thigh) and always rinse and re-apply shaving cream between each section. once you're done shaving, take a shower to wash away excess residue--use a gentle exfoliating wash cloth over the whole area. once you're done with your shower, dab some witch-hazel on the shaved area using a cotton ball or pad. if you've accidentally nicked or cut yourself, apply an antibacterial ointment and cover once you've let the witch-hazel dry. if your skin feels itchy and/or tight, use aveeno daily moisturizing body lotion--another great product.

hope this helps!
