Yes, You Can

So I read on a blog recently (and I am so bad about remembering who, what, where, when and why) that you can use hair conditioner (or creme rinse as we say in Canada) as shaving cream.
Interesting thought.
I tried it. And it works!
And did I mention how silky it leaves your legs? No need to buy fancy shave cream. Yay!
And it's already in the shower. Double yay!


Well, then comes yesterday. Sunday. Basically your 'getting ready nightmare.'
Terrible night's sleep, tossing my cookies, followed by headache, broken flat iron, confusion on the meeting that I was supposed to attend (sorry Bishop) etc.
So I am getting ready and I go to put lotion on my STUBBLY legs!

Could I have forgotten to shave? Yes.
Was I already dressed? Yes. Make-upped? Yes. Hair straightened? Well... sort of.

So there you have it, Girls.

Yes, you can apply conditioner to your dry legs (that are sticking out of the bottom of a skirt) and shave! Yes, you can.

And are there razor bumps? No. No, there are not. :)

I have been doing this for a while with "cream rinse" hehe. Even though I'm from AZ, that's what we have always called it too. I use lotion to shave with too.

I just had to giggle at the day you had. Not to mock you, but the way you explained it was funny. The "sorry bishop" part..lol. Hope all is well with the YW etc.

Amazing!

Ahem, I've been known to just show up at church with unshaven legs many a time. **sigh**

I consider it a raving success if we're on time with a precocious 5-year-old and 2-year-old twins! Now, if my legs are shaven too, well that's just a big, fat bonus. hahaha! ;-D

(Thanks for the tip, though!)

I recently discovered this myself!! It really does work and I have to admit I have done the "shave the legs while completely dressed for church" also!!
