How to shave tricky spots
You might experience difficulties shaving thin or hidden areas of your leg, including:
Knees
Knees are usually not a hairy region, but they are susceptible to post-shave injuries [3] and stragglers. You can bend your knee to make the skin taut enough. This will help you get a closer shave and navigate through creases effectively.
Backs of thighs
You will need a mirror to help you shave the back of your thighs effectively. You don’t have to do Pilates [4] to reach areas on the back of your thighs [5].You can use a hand mirror or stand in front of a large mirror to see the hair and its direction. After licateing the hair and identifying its location, you can stand or sit in a position that firmly implants your leg to the ground. This will help avoid a razor or leg slip. You can start shaving your legs when you are sure you are firmly planted.
Ankles
It is important to be extra careful when shaving your ankle region. Due to its tight edges, it is easy to cut and lead to bleeding [6].
To shave your ankles effectively, you must raise your foot up on one side of the shower bench to provide optimal balance and easy access. Shave your ankle region slowly and be extra careful to avoid cutting the region.
