Shave your legs with olive oil. Ran out of shaving cream? Well, there’s
something in your kitchen that can help you out: olive oil.because, olive
oil is thicker than you think, it works well on coating your legs or face
giving you a nice shave without razor burn. and because it’s so
moisturizing, you won’t even need to apply lotion afterwards!

i have used baby oil before. another tip with it is to have a small stream of water running over the area where you are shaving. makes the oil slicker.
this is a great tip. thanks

Never tried this before, something new to look into, thanks. I use lotion, my legs aren’t as dry as they would be normally. I really like the baby oil idea, I well try that one.

Olive oil? What about vegtable oil? Olive oil is rather expensive…

you really are only using about a Tablespoon Total for both legs, a little goes a VERY long way when using it for shaving. I add a couple drops of essential oil, usually lavender, but in the summertime I sometimes use rosemary if I’m going to be working in the yard with shorts on, as this not only alleviates shaving bumps & moisturizes, it also keeps mosquitos from dining on you.

Also a 88 cent bottle of conditioner last alot longer than a can of shaving cream. It doesn’t give me razor burn. I have tried babyoil before but I don’t like the film it leaves in the tub.
It was having to clean the tub every time I shaved and in the summer that is too often.

I have used baby lotion for a quick substitute. Works and smells good too.

What a fantastic tip! Thank you! And it sure beats using chemicals all over your body.

I have converted to hair conditioner. I agree with your observations and find two bonuses. It is one less “item” in the shower and removes a can that can drop and chip tiles or porcelain.

Olive oil can be expensive, yes…do you live near to a dollar store? That is a great place to find a small bottle and cheaper priced that grocery stores. Remember that you do not need a lot of oil to shave your legs and it will leave your skin moisturized…give it a try!!

I use the cheapo hair conditioner as well for my legs, never heard of olive oil. I am definitely going to try it. I wonder, do you suppose it works for a mans face?
My husband always has terrible razor burn after he shaves.
