A hairy human with sensitive skin as a matter of fact. \ud83d\ude42 LUCKY ME! Because of this, it took me a few years to get the hang of a decent tanning regime. Always felt like I had to sacrifice one or the other (bronzed glow or smooth legs) + in the end it kinda just allllll took too much effort to stay on top of. But I feel a little more confident when I\u2019m sunkissed + my legs + armpits <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are smooooooth. Took me a little fine tuning, so I am happy to share what works for me!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22090\" src=\"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Gparrish_Billie-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My most evenly applied sunless tanner always starts with a clean slate! AKA smoothly shaven legs + arms. The real MVP being, my <\/span><b>Billie Razor<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It is absolutely sensitive skin approved. The refills auto-ship to my front door each month (FREE SHIPPING) which has completely eliminated any store trips for razors. One less thing to worry about + typically beats me to noticing my razor is getting dull. Love the convenience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But more importantly &#8211; I don&#8217;t have to go through a razor break-in period. Ya know, the part when I\u2019d bust out a new razor from the 5 pack + have to push suuuuper soft over my shins until the razor dulled out a bit?? Yaaaa, not no more! Perfect shave every time, right out the box. I believe it&#8217;s due to the fact that it is encased in charcoal! Charcoal is a great detoxifier and leaves a clean shave literally every time. They&#8217;re also designed with more space between the blades than a typical razor. Legit glides right over my knees with the perfect little bend.<br \/>\nHangs up on a minimal little magnet just out of Jack\u2019s reach! It also stays up there on the magnet, even if you have the cover on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22086\" src=\"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Gparrish_Billie-8-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+pphfhWzITiHfP6j8z7SvAQ\">BILLIE RAZOR STARTER KIT<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+nkvWaCpqWbeWgbuiDTvCvQ\">TRAVEL CASE<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+bG_iXJTpsa90wvxKGWldrQ\">ROBE<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"shopthepost-widget\" data-widget-id=\"4582406\">\r\n                <script type=\"text\/javascript\" language=\"javascript\">\r\n                    !function(d,s,id){\r\n                        var e, p = \/^http:\/.test(d.location) ?
