BEST WAY TO SHAVE! Especially for thick, and even ingrown hairs. I saw on Pinterest that using the baby oil gel works, but not so much for me. However I discovered if you use a little bit of the gel mixed with conditioner, you use that with a pumice stone and exfoliate your legs before shaving and it's great! Then use the gel & conditioner when you shave as well! Just exfoliate in light circular motions and your legs will be ready for a really good shave with just about no nicks or irritation.
