Shaving Cream

I have officially stopped using shaving cream. And I am oh, so happy about it. The whole shaving cream thing is a joke anyway. I always thought I was using it to protect my legs and make it easier to see where I had shaved and where I hadn’t. When my legs burned after shaving, I always thought to myself, “good thing I used shaving cream or this burn would be so much worse”. Ha! It’s all a joke.


If you use shaving cream, you should try going without it. The time saving thing is worth it alone. Mom, I always thought you were crazy to not use it, and now I know you were just smart. As moms always are!

Since I have stopped using shaving cream, I have cut my shaving time down by half. I can now save the money that the shaving cream cost. I can actually see BETTER to shave when there isn’t foam everywhere covering up the hair, and my legs burn LESS after shaving than they did with shaving cream.

haha I've been sadly too cheap for years. Now I'm glad!

Do you not use anything at all then? I wish I could do that! My skin is too sensitive for that. I grew up with exzema and have extremely dry and sensitive skin. I tried shaving without shaving cream before in college (because I was out) and my legs turned bright red and burned. I have never had them burn with shaving cream and my justification for buying it: use coupons and stock up on it when it is on sale! I just got two big things of shaving cream that will last me forever (because really, who shaves their legs EVERY week in the winter?) for about $1.50 total. I've even been able to get it free before.
