-
Spray your legs with water or use a wet towel to wet your legs. Not so much so they are dripping, but enough to get them mostly wet. [1] X Research source Spray from toes to ankles and then start to spray the whole of your leg. -
Add some stick deodorant ( not antiperspirant) to your legs. A deodrant stick can be used, as can shaving gel or foamburst, but it's optional depending on how much time you have.Advertisement -
Squirt just a little bit of water on top of your gel/foamburst/deodrant. This will help to add moisture to your legs and give you the feeling as if you were in a shower. -
Shave your legs as you would normally do if you were in a shower. [2] X Research source -
Dry your legs and get any hair off using a dry towel or cloth. Since you are not in the shower, you are going to have to use a dry cloth to get the extra bits of hair off. After this, you are just going to normally dry your legs with a towel free from hair. -
Use an after-shaving lotion or a body lotion to make your legs even smoother and moisturized once you're finished. Be careful not to use a lotion that contains alcohol or perfume as this will sting your legs badly. [3] X Research source

QuestionHow do I shave with soap?Milo_Jenkinz13Community AnswerYou need to make sure your legs have some water on them, even if you just wipe them with a wet towel. Then rub on the soap until it becomes lathered, finally you can shave your leg normally (with a disposable razor). Don't forget to rinse off your razor with warm water, dry it, and put the cap back on.
