Shaving Your Legs With The Blade Bar

This solid lubricant, designed for multi-blade razors, coats blades directly for an irritation-free glide, leaving no redness or discomfort, as proven by Sansnik’s year-long testing. Its no-mess formula and shower-friendly design keep your routine clean, while the AfterBlade Bar boosts post-shave smoothness. Whether you’re new to leg shaving or seeking a greener approach, this guide ensures silky results.

Why the Blade Bar Excels for Leg Shaving

The Blade Bar redefines leg shaving with unmatched benefits. It eliminates irritation, ensuring zero razor burn, even on sensitive skin. The no-mess application provides clear visibility, perfect for tackling knees or ankles. Optimized for multi-blade razors like Gillette Sensor3 or Mach3, it delivers consistent lubrication, and its biodegradable ingredients and packaging make it eco-friendly. In the shower, the Blade Bar thrives, using water to enhance glide without washing away, unlike traditional gels. Image: User stropping Blade Bar mounted low in shower.

Getting Started

To begin, prepare your Blade Bar for leg shaving. Rinse off the cornstarch dusting with water to awaken its clinginess, then pat dry or air-dry. Mount it on a smooth, non-porous surface (e.g., glossy tile, glass) lower in your shower, near the tub, for easy access while shaving legs. See Going In-Depth: Sticking and Troubleshooting. Select a multi-blade razor (3+ blades, like Gillette Mach3 Sensitive), as Sansnik’s testing found these ensure even lubrication, unlike single-blade razors. Wash your legs to remove oils, and drench them with warm water (90–100°F) to soften hair.

With your setup complete, you’re ready for a silky shave.

Step-by-Step Leg Shaving Guide

Follow these steps for smooth, irritation-free legs:

• Soak Your Legs and Razor: Spend 2–3 minutes in the shower, drenching your legs and razor with warm water to soften hair and open pores.

• Wet the Blade Bar: Lightly wet the bar until bubbles or foam appear during stropping. Avoid soaking to prevent gumminess or sliding. A wet-but-not-dripping bar is ideal.

• Strop the Razor: Glide your razor across the Blade Bar’s mounted surface 3–5 times with light pressure, coating blades with a clear gel (foamier in soft water, denser in hard water). Never strop in-hand to avoid uneven lubrication or cuts. See Going In-Depth: Stropping Techniques.

• Shave with Care: Use short, gentle strokes with the grain, starting at the ankles and moving upward. For longer strokes, apply extra pressure to the razor head and strop 2–3 times downward for lasting lubrication, per Sansnik’s testing. Rinse the razor often and restrop every few passes (e.g., after a shin) for consistent glide.

• Apply AfterBlade Bar: Post-shave, rub the AfterBlade Bar onto wet legs and massage gently. Its natural ingredients (see FAQ) nourish for exceptional smoothness, enhancing your irritation-free shave.

Tips to Avoid Common Mistakes

Your Blade Bar can stay mounted for months, ready for each shave. Keep it wet during use but dry afterward to maintain its 14+ week lifespan, replacing when stropping grooves or warping appear (1–3 months). For travel, dry the bar and store flat. Always drench your legs and razor with water, as Sansnik’s testing found this maximizes glide, but lightly wet the bar. Avoid long, aggressive strokes on knees or ankles to prevent nicks—short strokes offer better control. If hair clogs the razor, rinse thoroughly under the showerhead before re-stropping. Adjust stropping pressure for your water type—light for foam, firm for gel—to keep performance consistent. Get silky legs with the Blade Bar at Sansnik’s website.
