Shave tips for shaving knees and elbows

Yesterday I asked if you wanted tips on how to shave your knees with a safety razor on Instagram @brontebody. 🩹🪒
⁣
🌸 all these below are recommendations but you need to figure out for yourself what works best for your body :)
⁣
1️⃣ Always shave when your skin and hair are soft and warm - like at the end of a warm shower
⁣
2️⃣ Exfoliate your skin regularly to get rid of any excess skin for a closer shave.
⁣
3️⃣ I recommend shaving with a straight leg. You can pull up the skin on your knee as well to stretch the skin.
⁣
4️⃣ As the safety razor has no moveable head, your hands have to adjust the razor head to a 30 degree angle always. This might take you a couple of shaves to get the hang of it.
⁣
5️⃣ When shaving use short 1-2 cm strides. Try to shave in each stride an area that has no change in angle for the razor.

6️⃣  I recommend shaving in any direction to shave short strides along the knee. I recommend scooping up around the sides towards the middle. You can also shave with the hair growth.
⁣
7️⃣ With a safety razor do not apply pressure on the skin (especially on the bony bits) It has a weight by own.
Try to avoid skin that’s healing such as pimples, or scratches.
⁣
8️⃣ shave using a fatty substance such as a shave oil or a shave soap made with oils. The more oil the less friction and the better the glide.
⁣
9️⃣ after shave rinse your skin with cold water to close all the pores and reduce chance to get irritated skin.
⁣
🔟 moisturize with a soothing substance such as our shave oil. Preferably including healing ingredients such as hemp seed oil, aloe Vera, calendula.
