The BEST Shaving Routine You'll Ever Follow

Jordan Meyers

I used to get bulk razors from Sam's club, use a random foam shaving gel and call it a day. I began developing bumps and was sick of having an unsmooth leg despite shaving every day. This routine has completely changed how I shave. While it may be ex...

Step 1: Exfoliate

Choose between a mild daily chemical exfoliant or a classic sugar scrub to remove built up dead skin cells and allow a smoother surface to shave. I use the Glycolic Acid every day and use a coarse scrub once a week for a more intense exfoliation

The first step of my routine. I thought I had hyperpigmentation under my arms…nope! Just needed a daily exfoliant. I use this before I get into the shower and apply with a large cotton round over every area I intend on shaving. It gently exfoliates d...

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating and Brightening Daily Toner

Use as soon as you get in the shower after dampening your body and softening up the skin. A scrub such as this gets a deeper, more aggressive exfoliation to ensure flawlessly smooth skin even if you're not shaving! Also great prep for self-tanner!

Truly Smooth Legend Pre-Shave Scrub | Ulta Beauty

A great, more affordable alternative to the Truly scrub. Also much larger. I do prefer the Truly one for shaving, but this is great for daily use or for all over, opposed to just the region you're shaving.

Tree Hut Vanilla Shea Sugar Scrub | Ulta Beauty

Step 2: The Shave Oil/Butter

While Truly Beauty is my favorite, it can get pricy fast, especially if you frequently shave your whole body. All options provided give smooth, beautiful results nonetheless.

Aside from changing razors, switching to anything but a shaving foam has been the most drastic step-up in my routine. This product is a butter, but practically changes into an oil upon application. I love how butters/oils soften up the area before sh...

Truly Beauty Coco Cloud Luxury Shave Butter | Ulta Beauty

This product is a butter, but practically changes into an oil upon application. I love how butters/oils soften up the area before shaving while moisturizing and providing an effortless glide.

Truly Glazed Donut Whipped Shave Butter

As much as I love the Truly Shave Butter, it is certainly more of a splurge--especially if you like a frequent full body shave, it goes by fast. This shave oil is great for an all over shave while still providing a smooth glide and gives great moistu...

EOS Vanilla Cashmere Shave Oil | Ulta Beauty

Step 3: The Razor and Blades

The razors make all the difference. With using lower quality razors, I thought I was developing hyperpigmentation, especially under my arms. I was actually not getting a very close shave, making my under arms appear much darker while leaving a bit of...

Truly Life Shaver Starter Razor | Ulta Beauty

The best razor I've ever used. I've always been opposed to blades with any kind of coating around them, as the ones I've used in the past have prevented me from getting a close shave. THESE, HOWEVER, are flexible and ensure you get every little hair....

Truly Life Shaver Razor Cartridges | Ulta Beauty

Step 4: The Serum/Oil

These products are specifically made for post-shave care as they reduce ingrowns, calm irritation, and reduce how often you have to shave while offering a very hydrating coat. (what more could you want!)

A soft vanilla scent

Truly Coco Cloud After Shave Serum | Ulta Beauty

A fruitier and more invigorating scent.

Truly Smooth Legend After Shave Serum | Ulta Beauty

A light sorbet and ice-cream cone scent!

Truly Soft Serve After Shave Oil | Ulta Beauty

Smells just like a fresh Krispy Kreme!

Truly Glazed Donut After Shave Oil | Ulta Beauty

This oil is formulated a bit lighter than the others as it's specifically for the downstairs region. It smells similar to a cookie and really hydrates the girly!

Truly Cooka Oil For Pubic Hair & Skin | Ulta Beauty

Step 5: The Moisturizer

These two moisturizers do wonders for my skin and far exceed a regular lotion. They help soothe irritation and ingrowns while overall contributing to having to shave less if used with the routine above!

This “lotion/moisturizer” is so much more. It comes as a thick butter, but instantly melts into a beautiful oil upon application. After completing the whole routine above, your legs will literally be reflective from how hydrated they are (I'm not jok...

TRULY BEAUTY Coco Cloud After Shave Moisturizer

Another beautiful “lotion” that plumps up the skin while providing excellent hydration. Also makes the skin reflective…truly crazy! Smells like a fresh strawberry vanilla sorbet.

Truly Soft Serve After Shave Plump Cream | Ulta Beauty

Includes everything mentioned and is all TSA friendly for your carry on!

This set is how I discovered this whole routine. I've truly never had a better shave than after using this set. All of these products provide a perfect, smooth shave every time while preventing ingrown hairs and reduces the frequency in which you nee...

Truly Beauty Coco Cloud Shave Set | Ulta Beauty

This set does the same beautiful job as the other. The only difference is that this one includes a pre-shave scrub instead of the after shave moisturizer. If you do purchase this set, I strongly urge you to purchase one of their after shave moisturiz...
