Don't Shave Your Legs After a Long Soak in the Tub

"After 15 to 20 minutes, water causes skin to wrinkle and swell, which means that a razor can't glide as easily or reach the base of the hair," says Kristina Vanoosthuyze, senior scientist for Gillette's Venus razor brand. For the smoothest result: Shave within five to ten minutes after stepping into the shower, when the warm water has softened your skin and hair.
