I cannot shave my legs without a good gel to smooth on first. I find that without a gel they just don't get as smooth! I haven't got a particular brand that I love, I do usually go for the cheaper brands but this is one of my favourites when I have a bit of money to spare.

Cheap shaving products (even razors) can be hard to find in good quality. Tesco are often quite good and I shall be reviewing them soon. This product is one that a friend recommended to me on holiday, I used it once and I am now addicted - maybe something to do with my legs being tanned at the time!
The gel is often on offer in supermarkets and I managed to pick mine up for £1 in Wilkinsons. The gel is named 'Satin Care Radiant Apricot'. The can is 250ml and is pink and orange so very girly. I love the design as it looks fairly retro and gorgeous. All ingredients and information about use are written on the back.

On my first use, I was very excited to try the product. On holiday I shaved my legs every day so I wasn't positive it was going to work on my new winter grizzly bear look (who cares about legs when they're covered up all winter!). After squirting a little gel onto my hand, I proceeded to smooth it all over one of my legs. The product lathers up really well and smooths which means it doesn't just fall off your legs like normal shower gel would. I like that only a small blob of gel seems to cover a whole leg - long lasting can it is!
When it comes to fragrance, Gilette got this one right. It is so fruity and it smells gorgeous! The scent lasted for a while on my legs but I did smother them in moisturiser the next morning so it got a bit fainter.

I found that afterwards my legs looked perfect. I usually need to patch myself up a little after shaving as I use disposable razors which can be deadly! Although, after using this product my legs were smooth as ever and cut free - would of been amazing if it was hot enough for shorts! My stubble normally re-appears to an irritating length within a week but for some strange reason I have now been hair free for two weeks (the only stubble I have is faint and light).
If this product is on offer I would definitely recommend - although at its usual retail price of £2.75 I think it is a little steep. I stocked myself up with 4 cans now and I hope by the time they run out I will have another to try out
