My mom has the very best beauty tip for silky smooth shaved legs (which is a great thing considering the Parsons women are a hairy people). For as long as I can remember, she would go out on the front porch on a hot, sunny day and rub baby oil into her legs. She would let the the sun heat up the baby oil and then shave with a brand new razor. Usually, she had a small bucket of warm water next to her in order to rinse out the razor and wash off the oil.
My mom has been using this technique since the 1960's. However, in 2011, we now know that baby oil may increase the damaging effects of the sun's rays. Thus, I suggest that if you do put baby oil on and soak in the sun, you first slather on a healthy coat of sunscreen.
I realize that October may not afford many people the warm sun to help the shaving process. In the fall and winter I usually go into the bathroom and turn on a space heater, rub in the the baby oil, read a book for about 10 minutes to let the heat soak in, and then shave my legs. Voila! Instant sexy smooth stems!
