Cyclists are known for their smooth legs. But sometimes the same old tools don’t quite cut it. Or should I say the same old tools such as men’s razor and standard shaving cream actually do cut. I won’t share a razor with my husband, but I do make sure he has a women’s razor at the start (and throughout) the season. The women’s razor glides around the muscles, tendons and knees on the legs that can be a danger zone for cuts.
Another tool that needs special selection is shaving cream. You can get away with a can of something foamy, but dznuts bald super smooth shaving cream gives you a much closer, smoother shave. I’ve been using it for a while now and I find that my legs are smooth and I shave a little less often these days. Of course, it’s winter. As the weather gets nicer and I go out for rides I’ll up the frequency of my shaves.In addition to a smoother shave, dznuts bald says it prevents ingrown hairs and red bumps. If you’re a guy and your legs are conspicuously absent of hair, you definitely want to avoid unsightly red bumps.
DZnuts, a company known for its chamois cream, has a fun sense of humor. Instructions include diagrams of how to use the shave cream with step three being a trophy because you’ll feel like a winner when you step out of the shower with smooth legs. The description says “Notice chiseled definition, and look like a champion. Bald keeps you smooth.”
A 200 ml tube runs about $15. That’s a little pricey for shave cream. However you will notice shaving is easy and you won’t get the cuts as you did with a can of foamy.
