I read somewhere that using hair conditioner cuts down on knicks and cuts when you shave your legs and it is also cheaper that shaving cream(I got 3 bottles of Sauve conditoner on sale for .48 a bottle and it smells better than shaving cream). SO, I tried it and it WORKS! I have been using it for the past month and have not cut myself and then my legs are already smooth and soft so I don't need to apply lotion after shaving. Also an other money saver. (It also works on bikini area also). Hope this helps......
