Written by Kathryn D'Imperio Sunday, 26 October 2008 00:20
Shaving away unwanted hair is a daily ritual for many women. 
Because shaving is done so frequently, it is important to protect our skin from nicks and cuts while also moisturizing to prevent excessively dry, flaky skin. By following tips for shaving and effective hair removal, we can protect our skin and bodies while also ensuring a close, smooth shave.
This article offers a number of the best shaving tips for hair removal. Ellen Kane is a representative for Gillette, the Gillette Venus Embrace razor, and the Satin Care Alluring Avocado shave gel. She offers the following tips on how to shave effectively:
Q. – Life Love Beauty: What are the top benefits of the razor and shave gel products?A. - Ellen Kane: Venus Embrace razor’s five blades are positioned closely together and spring-mounted to create a shaving surface that adjusts to natural contours and curves, allowing the blade cartridge to sit flatter on the skin for a closer shave and a Protective Ribbon of Moisture surrounds the shaving surface for a smooth glide. This is the first five-bladed razor designed specifically for women, meaning that women will no longer need to borrow men’s razors for the extra blades!
Satin Care Alluring Avocado Shave Gel contains a unique blend of natural ingredients and avocado butter, leaving legs feeling satiny smooth. It features a light fragrance of aloe, jasmine, and orange blossom. When used with Venus Embrace, the shave gel cares for skin during the shave, leaving legs soft and satiny smooth.
Q. – Life Love Beauty: With this razor, are there any known risks or side effects, such as razor burn - and any known ways to prevent them?
A. - Ellen Kane: As with any razor, there is always a risk of irritation to sensitive skin, particularly when used incorrectly; however, Venus Embrace’s five blades and Protective Ribbon of Moisture minimize the number of times women will have to shave, thus reducing any strain on the skin. Using a shave gel like Alluring Avocado helps keep water in the hair and ensures the razor glides easily over skin. We also suggest soaking in a warm bath or shower two to three minutes prior to shaving.
Q. – Life Love Beauty: Many women have a difficult time shaving knees, so what are your tips for shaving the knee and ankle areas? What techniques would help to ensure you get rid of the hair in those areas effectively?
A. - Ellen Kane: One way to ensure you’re getting rid of hair in hard-to-shave areas is to leave them for last. Letting these areas soak in shaving gel (like Satin Care Alluring Avocado) as long as possible. Also, Embrace has five curve-hugging blades individually adjust to stay in contact with the skin – even around such tricky shaving areas as the knees and ankles.
Q. – Life Love Beauty: How long should the hair-free results last before needing to shave again?
A. - Ellen Kane: This will vary for each person, but Embrace helps to cut down on the frequency of shaves needed to achieve even better results than other razors.
Q. – Life Love Beauty: Does the razor have replacement blades? If so, how often should the blade be replaced?
A. - Ellen Kane: Yes, we have replacement blades (retail value $13.49 - $14.99). These should be used whenever the blades begin to feel dull, but on average women replace blades of a razor after about 10 shaves.
Q. – Life Love Beauty: Is it best to shave in the tub / shower or outside of it?
A. - Ellen Kane: This is all about comfort in our opinion! The only thing that matters is making sure your skin has been able to soak in water and you’ve applied shave gel to trap the moisture.
