What is the ideal way of shaving arms and legs?

I use a razor to shave my arms and legs. I use the specially formulated shaving foam for women, I wet the area well and always change the blades on a regular basis. But whatever I do, my skin does not feel smooth and I always get razor burn. So I must be doing something wrong. Please help.

    Your skin is probably just getting dry because you are shaving so much.. it would help to mosturize your legs & arms as soon as you shaved them… and if you shave them everyday.. if possible – give them a break for a couple days.. you will notice a change.. & then the shave will become even smoother & you'll have nice skin… something I do, which REALLY helps.. is once you're out of the shower, & done shaving.. use baby oil gel.. and rub some on your arms and legs & and then rub your legs & arms w/a towel.. and then apply your regular lotion.. & you should see a big improvement.. I hope I helped.. because I had the same problem..

    Try using Veet . it is a razorless shaving treatment. it is super super easy to use. all you do is put the foam over your arms and/or legs leave it on for about 10 mins. and simply wash it off. simple isn't it. AND it lasts longer than razor shavings. i guarantee your legs will be soft as a baby's bottom

    I used to have this problem when I first started shaving. You just need to regularly moisturise and only shave your legs every two days and your arms once a week. Also remember to moisturise just after you have gotten out of the shower as your skin will absorb the moisturiser best when your skin is damp.

    Ok, you can use a cheap creme rinse instead of shaving cream. It smooths the skin and stops the drag of the razor. Plus you know it is great for your head so it won't hurt underarms or legs. Be careful in your bikini area, most of them are perfumed and can cause problems.

    try to hold your legs in very warm water before you start shaving so that the skin is not dry, this makes it easier to shave and doesn't irritate skin as much

    You shave you arms? Or under your arms? The ancient Greeks used to shave their arms, and in fact their whole bodies except their heads. So if your not an ancient Greek I really don't know why you would shave your arms. Shaving your arm pits are more appropriate.

    Anyways, if you are having problems with razor burn and dry skin, maybe you are shaving too much. Or, you might be doing it too roughly. Oh, maybe you should put some lotion on afterwads that always helps.
