Once you're done, don't jump right to moisturizer - Hayag says you'll get your best results if you apply witch hazel first. "In fact, if you have a sharp blade, it should do most of the work for you." "You do not have to apply much pressure on your razor," Hayag says. Using steady strokes, very lightly shave your bikini line in the direction of the hair growth. She recommends looking for razors with built-in moisture strips, practically eliminating the need for shaving cream, like the Gilette Venus Sensitive Extra Smooth Razor.
"More razor blades also typically cut the hairs at the surface in a single pass, which can result in fewer strokes, limiting chances of skin irritation." " prevents the skin from bulging up in-between the blades for a more comfortable shave on sensitive skin," she explains. Hayag says to look for a razor with five closely-spaced blades.
When it comes to choosing a razor, it's not just the number of blades that matters their spacing plays a major part in your results.
