    Use it instead of soap to shave your legs

    hi lynzpower

    I agree with sue - it's great for this. stops cutting your skin better than any shaving gel or foam i have ever used, especially around the ankles!

    You can also dilute it with water and use as fabric conditioner. I usually use vinegar, water & EO but I found out about this tip on the OZ money saving site. I had some old conditioner in the cupboard that was like yours. Eventually used it up, I like the idea for shaving though.
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    I also use cheap conditioner for leg shaving purposes and it does make your legs feel super smooth after.

    However, I invested in a cheap bottle of conditioner in case the kids ever got headlice - if anyone does, smother the hair with conditioner, leave for a couple of hours and then comb through with a fine tooth comb and the nits and eggs will come out. Luckily I've never had to resort to this so use it for my legs :D

    save it in case you know anyone who gets nits and need gallons on hair conditioner for wet combing the whole family repeatedly !

    I'll bump the 'shaving legs with it'. I have done this for years and never get dry or rough skin after shaving nor any nicks. just put a dollop on your skin enough to coat the area you want to shave and away you go. Try it you'll be amazed!

    I'M an immac user so I'll be watering it down and putting in the machine. Im sure mr Calgon engineer will tell me not to, but sounds like a plan

    and your legs are sooooooooo soft afterward!

    a man with a light beard can use it instead of shaving foam... doesn't work as well with heavier beards though

    ooh what a brilliant idea! thankfully dd has never had them even when they went around the nursery she used to go to but she's starting school in august so i suspect this may become an issue at some point

    tea tree is supposed to be very good as well and you can get conditioner with it in so i'll keep this in mind

    thanks!
