I shaved my legs for years with a cheap, disposable razor and bar soap suds. There is no shame in this method, it gets the job done. But a few years ago I decided to elevate my leg shaving experience. Today I’m sharing a few of my favorite products for smooth legs, including what to put on your leg before you shave.

This Isn’t a Tutorial on How to Shave
I’m hoping you already know how to shave your legs and instead just looking for a couple of good product recommendations for smoother legs.
However, I was once a young girl wielding a stolen razor shaving my legs when I was told not to. So, get the instruction you need with this article from Glamour on how to shave your legs correctly.
My Current Go-To Body Scrubs
It’s really important to exfoliate wet legs before you take a razor to them. Exfoliating removes dry, dead skin. But more importantly, exfoliating helps loosen hairs trapped under the skin. These are my favorite body scrubs that help do this job.
- Tree Hut Coco Colada Shea Sugar Body Scrub ($8)
- Dr Teal’s Restore & Replenish Pink Himalayan Sea Salt Scrub ($6.99)
- Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub ($13.99)
Ditch Your Old, Rusty Razor
I’m embarrassed to admit how many times I’ve looked at my razor and went ahead shaving my legs even though the blade was rusty. My teenage daughter and I are big fans of Billie Razors because of the subscription model – we’re never out of fresh, clean, rusty-free blades.
- Billie Razor Starter Kit – Includes handle, two refill blades, magic razor holder ($10)
- Harry’s The Truman ($9)
- Flamingo Shave Set – Includes handle, two blades, small shave gel, mini lotion, holder ($16)
- Hanni – The Weighted Razor Kit – Includes razor handle, five-pack blades, travel cap ($42)
The Best Oil for Shaving
Shave oil was a game changer for me. Here are my absolute favorite shave oils for silky, smooth legs.
- Tree Hut Tahitian Vanilla Bean Bare Moisturizing Shave Oil ($13)
- Hempz White Peach Rose and Peony Shave Gel ($13)
- Brazilian Bare Tropical Coconut Shave Syrup ($12.99)
