It doesn’t matter if you’re male or female. It doesn’t matter if you’re younger or older. If you shave your body bare, your body looks beautiful. Body hair hasn’t been needed for warmth or protection since caveman days, or as a sexual signal for almost as long. Throughout the centuries, people of both sexes have been fashioning their body hair in different ways for a variety of reasons, but mostly for aesthetics because everyone wants to look their best.

Both Men and Women are Bare Body Shavers

Today, both males and females believe a bare body is a beautiful body. And while there are many hair removal methods available, shaving with a wet razor is still the number one way to get any part of the body bare. It’s convenient, it’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s inexpensive.

But unfortunately, if you’re not using this shaver properly, your bare body won’t look so beautiful. Having a nude body with swollen, red, splotchy, even scabby skin is probably worse than having a hairy body.

So the trick is to use your shaver correctly to ensure that you always have a beautiful bare body. Following these suggestions based on generations of people’s experiences using a wet shaver, here are some tips to help you get a beautiful bare body without all the irritations:

While sleeping, your skin fills with fluid, which puffs up and hides a good part of your hair. If you wait to shave for about 30 minutes after waking up, you’ll get a closer shave.

If you’re going to be using your wet shaver on your head, face (if you have a beard or mustache), chest, back, or pubic area, you’ll have long hairs that will need to be trimmed down to a stubble, with scissors or a hair trimmer, before you begin to shave your body bare. Doing so will help you see where to shave, saving wear and tear on your shaver. When you can see where you’re shaving, you won’t dull your shaver’s blade, and you’ll be better able to get a beautiful bare body.

Always Remember to Use a Moisturizer

Always moisturize your skin and hair before shaving. Never use your wet shaver dry. Dry hair is tough and will break more easily, leaving jagged tips on hairs that only irritate your beautiful bare body.

Take a long, hot shower or bath. In fact, shave while you’re in the shower or bath if it’s convenient. The hot water and steam will open the pores and make hairs softer, which will make it much easier for your shaver to get close for that smooth bare body look.

Apply whatever you prefer to lubricate your skin to help your shaver glide easily and smoothly across your skin as you’re shaving. Working this into your skin with a circular motion will help raise the hairs. Allow this to sit on your skin and hair for several minutes. And make sure you always have plenty as you’re shaving.

Be Sure to Use a Clean Body Shaver

If you want a bare body that is truly beautiful, ALWAYS make sure your shaver has a clean, sharp blade before shaving. And if you’re shaving a large area, such as your chest, have extra blades within reach if your shaver even starts to drag.

A dull blade will pull and tear hairs instead of cutting them cleanly. Think about what grass looks like when cut with a dull blade. Using a dull razor is the number one reason a bare body doesn’t look so beautiful after shaving.

Shave with your skin in a relaxed condition. Don’t stretch the taut skin, thinking it will give you a closer shave. This will only cut the hairs too short and significantly increase skin irritations leading to ingrown hairs.

Shave in the Direction of Hair Growth

Move your shaver across the hairs in the direction the hair grows first. After removing the bulk of these hairs, you can shave against the hair growth. This will provide you with the clean, close, and smooth bare body you want. You shouldn’t need to shave over an area more than this second time. And you really don’t want to if you can help it because it will aggravate your already sensitized skin.

Some people press down with their shaver, thinking it will give them a smoother bare body. But it only causes more friction, and more friction causes razor burns. Only apply as much pressure as absolutely necessary.

Always shave slowly and carefully.

It’s so satisfying when your shaver leaves your bare body feeling silky smooth afterward.
