A girl shaving her legs in the bathtub

If you have teens in the house, I’m sure you will relate to this. If you have a teenage boy, he’s probably started shaving their facial hair. If you have a teenage girl, she’s probably started shaving her legs. Either way, they need shaving cream.

Recently, my youngest daughter started shaving her legs. She is very proud and happy with her smooth legs, admiring and sharing the results with the whole family.

This reminded me of myself, at her age. Except that I was not allowed to shave. So I did it in secret, which meant I could not use my dad’s shaving cream or he would find out. I always used the a bar of soap instead. It made my legs so dry, I had to put moisturizing cream on my legs every time. At least it wasn’t as bad as shaving with nothing at all and leaving my legs itchy and with the occasional cut.

Recently, I saw some things being posted about using hair conditioner as a substitute for shaving cream. It sounded like a good option and I decided to check it out. I discovered that it is even better than shaving cream! Even my son tried it on his facial hair and said it was fabulous.

This is why it’s so good:

It does the job perfectly.
It leaves tour legs soft afterwards, as if you have already used moisturizing cream.
It is cheaper than shaving cream.
There is one less bottle taking up the small space in the shower.

Simple and easy to use!

Be happy!

Children with the Kinesthetic Communication Style

The idea that all kids are the same is false and brings parents and teachers into lots of trouble. Every time these kids are not "the same" as others, they think something is wrong with them. Nothing is wrong with them! They are just different and we should all be…
