I've been shaving my legs... And arms... And well every where for almost half my life now. Here are my tips and regimen.

Legs and arms: Use shaving cream. In a pinch hair conditioner will work. Do not use soap or shampoo. Use top notch razor blades. I use Gilette Fusion, but I use it on my my face first for a few weeks. The hair on your legs and arms is softer then your face. The blade doesnt need to be as sharp AND by using a duller blade you will get less nicks. Use an electric razor on your forearms or for a quick touch up.

Under arms and privates: shaving cream (or hair conditioner in a pinch) use a fresh blade and change every 2-4 weeks. Don't throw away as the blade is now perfect for your legs and arms.

Chest and Abs: Electric razor. I used to use razor blades but always got ingrown hairs. I get much less with the electric razor.

I lather in aloe gel after my shower (the sunburn stuff). The alcohol in it will kill off a lot of the bacteria that also add to ingrown hair infections. Then I use Aveeno lotion to give my legs and arms a nice soft glow.

Note: laser work on my chest, abs, and bikini Brazilian have made those places much easier to maintain.
