Hello, I've had this problem when I shave my legs, they're never silky smooth! Now, I know there are far greater problems, but it's soo frustrating! I've tried practically everything, lotions, home wax (salon waxing seems like a waste of time and money), shaving often, waiting for hair to grow out then shave, and nothing works! All my friends have silky legs right after shaving and I never do, so if anyone else has been faced with this problem and found a remedy, please let me know, thank you!

I don't use shaving creams because they usually leave my skin feeling tight and dry. Instead, I use an inexpensive hair conditioner to shave with. After shaving, I apply pure jojoba oil to my skin and they feel silky smooth!

Thanks for the info, I'll def try it out! Where do you find pure jojoba oil? Do you have to go to a specialty store or are they sold at your local drug/discount store? Thanks!

Jojoba Oil can usually be found at a health food type of store or can be purchased on line. Type 'jojoba oil' into your search engine and you will find a lot of sites retailing the oils.
