Dry Shaving

No shower required

By , About.com Guide

Dry shaving can save you time if you need quick hair removal. Isn't that good to know that jumping in the shower isn’t necessary? Before you start, you need to use the razor in the right way to avoid burning, nicks or cuts.

EOS Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream

This non-foaming cream is so hydrating, just pull out your favorite manual razor and you can actually shave dry (read review).

It works best on hair that is fine to medium in thickness. So removing men's facial hair and the bikini zone wouldn't be the best choices.

You can definitely use the Bliss Phlips Bikini Perfect Deluxe dry (but you don't have to, works in the shower too) with a micro shaver and micro trimmer as part of its six attachments. Don't let the name fool you, it can be used for other areas besides your bikini.

You guys may not know that long hair should be trimmed first before taking a razor to it. Otherwise shaving your body will become a longer process than it has to be. With the Braun bodycruZer you can trim and shave in one step with sensitive, medium, and long combs.

And if you don't want to get that area super smooth, just trimming the hair will make it look overall less hairy and more groomed.

Rinsing the blade, getting out the shaving cream and being really careful so as to not nick yourself takes extra time with a manual razor. With a good quality electric razor like Norelco Philips Arcitec you'll gain some minutes in the morning. (Just promise me you won't shave and drive.)
