Perfect your pins with King of Shaves Woman
‘I don’t know who invented the high heel but all women owe him a lot.’
Marilyn Monroe
A good heel is a work of art. Re-inventing your look faster than a post-divorce Madonna, whilst providing a little figure alteration along the way - a good heel will lengthen legs, tuck in bottoms and slim you down. The hottest trend of the season, the high heel is a girl’s best friend - just remember to follow these six golden rules…
1. Smooth legs are essential. Before you even go near a shoe store, make sure you are perfectly pedicured and your pins are in tip top condition. For the closest, smoothest possible shave, the King of Shaves Woman Azure razor for women fits the bill and will add a little golden glamour to your bathroom.
2. Practice makes perfect. The only thing worse than an ugly pair of heels is a girl who can’t walk in them; practice. Once you’ve picked the perfect shoe, it’s time to take it for a spin in your living room. Remember, when traveling up stairs, move on the balls of your feet. When walking back downstairs, side step elegantly.
3. The stiletto virgin (SV). Sling backs and mules are held on mainly with luck and should be avoided by beginners. Start with something sturdier wedges, for example are an easy walk and great for an SV; however think more Betty Boo than Spice Girls.
4. Never compromise style. If your date is shorter than you, dump him. It’s simply not worth it. Boyfriends will come and go; a good pair of Manolo’s will last a lifetime.
5. Travel. Long journeys will require taxis or a chauffeur (father/ boyfriend). Hitch hiking is entirely out of the question. If you simply must get a tube/ bus, ballet pumps in your handbag are essential.
6. The Broken Heel. The only one thing scarier to the heel wearer than a shag pile; it can strike at any time so you need to improvise fast. Try sitting down/ leaning elegantly against a wall and push the heel back in. If this doesn’t work, you may need to revert to rule five and call a cab.
Recipe for perfect legs: “For super smooth legs and the closest shave, exfoliate your skin first. Shave while having a luxurious soak in the bath - the trick to shaving is to wet your skin for a minimum of 3 minutes in warm water to soften the hair. Then apply KOSW Pamper & Moisturise Shave Gel to the leg for essential moisture and nourishment throughout the shave. Let the blade, (not excess pressure), do the work, cutting away the unwanted hair- the KOSW Azure has patented ‘bendology technology’ a unique reflex hinge which flexes to accommodate every contour and curve to help avoid nicks and cuts. Always moisturize skin after shaving with a non-irritating balm or lotion to soothe and revitalize the skin.” Diane Wood, King of Shaves Expert and Resident Glamourpuss
And just one more piece of advice….
‘As for the heel, honey, it’s got to be high. The transformation is instant. It’s a coup de theatre. The height of the heel should depend on how dangerous you are feeling…
High, high, high, higher I say!’
