Hairy Situations

Dear Cora,
Someday, I am sorry to say, you will need to start using a razor. Your body will change and grow and will first leave behind the baby-child shape, taking on a lean and active one. Not much longer after that your young body will develop into one of an adult, a woman, in many different ways. And one of those way brings the need for you to scrape a series of sharp metal pieces across your legs. It sounds ridiculous, I know. Who in their right mind would do that? Well, I just want you to know a few things about this torturous habit that will help you along the way:

1. Water is the bare necessity. Soap, conditioner, or shaving cream is best. Any of those will work great, just do not ever, ever try this without water.

2. Shave against the growth on your legs, shave with the growth on your underarms. Just trust me on that one.

3. The razor is for your legs and your armpits. That's all. I can think of a half a dozen other body parts that "could" be shaved but shouldn't. There are much safer, less painful, and more effective ways to rid yourself of hair in those places. Again, trust me. Make a mistake with this one, and it may not be fixable.

4. If you want to really enjoy smooth legs as much as possible, shave right before bed. There are few things as satisfying as slipping your freshly shaved legs between clean sheets.

You are beautiful, my dearest Cora.
