'I tried the life-changing shaving hack for legs, it saves so much time'
When it comes to body hair, it's all about personal preference. Some may like the more natural look, while others will opt to shave, wax, or laser it off.
But doing so can prove time-consuming, and in some cases painful - especially if you're clumsy when shaving. I'm constantly nicking my ankles with a razor when shaving, which obviously isn't ideal.
However, social media users recently claimed they'd come across a way to avoid this completely and save time while shaving their legs - and the viral technique was quickly branded "life-changing".
The technique has gone viral (stock photo) (Getty Images/iStockphoto)A TikTok user named Lauren Henderson shared the hack after she saw a video of how to do it, and admitted the simple change to her routine has "forever changed" her. She said: "I have got to show you a life hack that I learned on TikTok. I mean, does anyone else learn so much about life through TikTok, or is it just me? I wish I could remember the girl who posted the video, but I saw it and it has forever changed me. It deals with shaving your legs, so if you shave your legs, listen up!
The shaving technique is easy to do, all it requires is to keep your razor against your skin continuously as you shave, so once you've gone up the leg, you don't remove the razor before trailing it back down. Lauren added in the clip: "I literally just did this this morning, so grab your razor! You know how we lather our legs up and we shave, and we shave, and we do all that, right? Wrong! So wrong! Try this instead: Shave, but don't lift it. It literally took me five seconds per leg to shave my legs this morning, that is the fastest it has ever taken me in my life. And you can go over your knees too, and it doesn't cut you up!"

Over 123,000 people liked Lauren's post, so I decided to put it to the test and I can confirm that it actually does work. While it feels a little daunting at first, as if you might cut yourself I managed to shave my legs in half the time and without nicking myself once.
The only real issue I encountered is that it was a little tricky to get a good shave around the very bottom of my ankles, so I advise being extra careful around this spot as it's easy to get carried away with the speed of this fluid shaving motion. But if you find shaving your legs a chore, I definitely recommend giving this a go for yourself, just be sure to start off slowly.
And I'm not the only one who is a fan of this method, with thousands commenting to share their thoughts on the life hack. One person who had tried it said: "I've been shaving this way for over 20 years, but legit thought it was just my lazy method." Another replied that it was "genius".
A different user admitted: "I tried it out of curiosity and it really does work just incase anyone is hesitant. no cuts nothing but smooth legs." While someone else who had tested it out added: "I KNOW!! I've been doing it for 2 weeks... I'm 45! Come on!! It's amazing."
