I recently read that you can use conditioner to shave your legs instead of shaving cream! Has anybody tried it? Is it better then shaving cream?

I do this all the time! I have ultra sensitive skin so it still gets a bit irritated, but nothing compared to how it does with shaving cream.

Mm I guess they meant something else. Back in my school girls used to
Rub their leg with conditioner and shave it with razor so that their leg doesnot become dry.

Absolutely, when The Conditioner by Paul Mitchell was introduced decades ago I remember that using it to shave was one of it's selling points.

It's definitely a good option. It moisturizes your legs a lot better than shaving cream will.
I still prefer shaving cream just because it's totally white so I can see what I've gotten already. With conditioner I tend to miss areas since it doesn't stay white lol.
So I guess it just depends on what your priorities are. Haha :)

I first heard about this little trick in middle school and have used it many times over the years. It's definitely thinner than your average shaving gel or cream, but it works. The silicones serve as a protective layer to buffer against the razor.

I do this all the time. It works pretty well for the most part. Some conditioners irritate my skin but I have skin problems. It is conditioner so I often feel that when the hair grows back it's not as prickly. And it is cheaper compared to what they sell where I live.

Shampoo, liquid soap, conditioner, anything really! I rarely use having cream. It's a waste of money in my opinion.

I do! It is a lot cheaper than actual shaving cream like I get some conditioner from the dollar store and it works the same too.

I do it all the time and it works great! It moisturizes so you don't need to moisturize after you get out of the shower!
