Everytime I shave my legs I get razor burn really badly.
I have tried everything, super sharp razors, regular razors, exfoliating before my shower, and perfumeless lotion. I dont understand why Im still getting it.
Does anyone know anything else that I could try?

I get razor burn alot too, put in other areas
I started using mens razor blades, and always use shaving cream. When I first start shaving I go in the direction that the hair grows, just to get my skin used to the blades, then go against the direction of the hair for a smooth finish. It seems to work for me.

dont do this. this CAUSES razor burn and ingrown hairs. the only advice id give you is wax cuz it seems like you've done everything else.

just suck it up...a few minutes of pain for weeks of hairless legs...worth it

You can use a hair conditioner (the one you use on your own head of hair works). It softens the skin first. I used to have the same problem. Just be sure to wash your legs with body soap afterwards or you will get ingrown hairs (also NO fun!)

Does using shaving creme really help? I usually use moisturizing soap.

So, either way waxing would be better. BUT....get it done professionally, don't do it yourself...that could end up worse then razor burn.
