This may not work for young people who have normal amount of hair on their legs - but I'm old and don't have a lot of hair on my legs. I DO, however, have it on my chin, in my nose and in anyother place you DON'T want it. I use the homemade hand cream recipe found here on this board - don't even have to use water. I can shave my legs sitting on my bed. No razor burn either. Then all I have to do is rinse my razor in hot water and I'm done. I have a jar of this homemade cream in the bathroom at work, beside my recliner and beside my bed. Need to make another batch. BTW, I added some extra virgin olive oil to my batch because my skin is so dry.
