despite what you may have been told, it’s legs oldest question isn’t it? which way should i shave? with the grain? against the grain? upside down? (we’ve heard it all…) don’t just dive into your leg shave and guess, follow these tips and get those legs looking as smooth as they deserve to.

there are actually two directions to shave your legs for the closest shave possible. (don’t shave upside down, seriously…). what really matters is the order you shave in.

for starters, always shave first in the direction your hair grows. shaving down your leg first takes the hair down to a reasonable length, and gives your hair time to soften up before the next step.

once your hairs are short and hydrated, you can take a pass in the opposite direction. shave up the leg, against the growth of your hair. for the closest shave possible. keep in mind, that shaving against the grain isn’t for everybody. if you have sensitive skin, shaving against the grain can cause irritation, so proceed with caution.

whichever direction you wrap up shaving on, toss some of your favorite moisturizer on your legs to keep that skin happy until the next time it’s time to tame that leg hair.
