Leg Shaving Problems

So I recently moved and my apartment only has a stand-up shower which makes it difficult to shave in the shower. I tried waxing But my skin is way to thin and sensitive, I've tried hair removal creams But they didn't seem to get all the hair off and irritated my skin and I've tried using just normal girl shaving cream out of the shower and it left a lot of little cuts.:( so pretty much if you know any already n removal for very sensitive skin or how to make the shaving in the shower easier, also I can't put a chair or stool in the shower since it's kinda small.

You could shave outside the shower! On days when I am already clean but just need to shave I get a big bowl of water, shaving cream, and a towel. Then you can just sit and shave like normal! Wet your leg, apply the shaving cream, and dip your razor into the bowl of water each time you shave an area to prevent cutting your skin. Good luck!

I tried that once and for some reason it irritated my skin, Maybe I didn't use enough water at first. I'll try it again. I feel like the should oligarchy installed a little ledge to put your foot up on in small showers lol.

I think you should try it again but this time get a cloth in warm water and press it against the skin as the hair will absorb some of the water and help soften them up. Try exfoliating the legs a little as well and then I like to use a relatively inexpensive conditioner to use as shaving cream as it will also help to soften the hair. It creates a lot less friction with those steps and a lot less issues with irritation and/or nicks
