step 1:
So, the best thing to do is take a shower. Use nice, warm water to open the pores on your skin. A bath also works. Use the loofa and shower gel (#4) to scrub down your skin.. this exfoliates, which is really good for your skin to brush away dead skin, since lots of times, this is what will cause ingrown hair after you shave, which is very uncomfortable.
step 2:
once you've showered, or bathed, drain the water out of the tub so that there's maybe a couple inches of water, so you can sit in the bath and shave.. later your legs up with the Aveeno shaving cream, and shave using long strokes against the grain with VERY LITTLE pressure. you just want the razor to glide against the skin. this will keep you from getting razor burn. once you've done your legs, you're ready to move on to your nether regions.
step 3:
the first couple of times you do your privates, you should maybe just shave "with" the grain. sometimes, when you've not shaved "down there" for awhile, you can get razor burn because your skin is not used to being shaved in that area and is extra sensitive. after you've done it a couple times, though, you can start shaving against the grain much like you did on your legs.. very carefully and with very little pressure. then, if you're a guy (or a hair girl), you can move on to your stomach, chest, and arms. your arms, or at least mine, should shave with no irritation, so just shave them against the grain. Chest can get razor burned, so just use light pressure when shaving against the grain. Your stomach, really, should be ok, like your arms, so against the grain is fine there, too. There is that spot, for me, anyway, between the belly button and the pelvic region. I call this the "belt line" -- I go with the grain here always, because, even when I try to be careful, my pants rubbing that spot all day long will make it very irritated.
step 4:
once you're all shaven, get up and turn on the shower with "cool to cold" water. as cold as you can stand and have it be comfortable. cool water on your skin after you shave will close the pores and help keep your skin from getting irritated. now you can get out of the shower.. dry off by patting the skin instead of rubbing it.
