Should you use just any regular razor to shave my legs and what type of cream could i use? i'm really scared to cut myself (about to be my 1st time

Any is probably ok: Shaving for the first time can be a bit nerve wracking! Be sure to use a new razor (will have a sharp blade and give you a better shave). The first time you should shave in the direction of hair growth (down on the legs) and use a shaving cream. I would avoid the bumpy areas like knees and ankles the first couple of times and use caution going over the shin bone.
