She said: "Y'all I have got to show you a life hack that I learned on TikTok.
"Does anybody else learn so much about life on TikTok or is it just me?
"I wish I could remember the girl that posted this video but I saw it and it has forever changed me.
"If you shave your legs, listen up.
"You know how we lather our legs up and we shave and we shave and we do all that, right?
"Wrong!
"Try this instead. Shave but don’t lift it. 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’s ever taken me in my life and you can go over your knees too and it won’t cut you up."
She also added in the comments that she uses soap and lathers well before she begins shaving.
"Yes—lather with whatever you use!" she said. "I used soap. I was just showing y’all how to do it without literally being in the shower."
Since being posted, the video has racked up more than 122,000 likes and 2,700 comments from people who were keen to try it out for themselves.
One person said: "I've learned more on TikTok in one year than my whole 41 years of life combined."
Another wrote: "I tried it out of curiosity and it really does work just in case anyone is hesitant. No cuts nothing but smooth legs."
"I've been shaving this way for over 20 years, but legit thought it was just my lazy method haha," commented a third.
Someone else said: "For the 1st time in my life I can’t wait to shave tomorrow morning."
However, one user who claimed to have tried it out for themselves didn't have the best experience, as they said: "Tried this and my legs have broken out in a rash and are unbearably itchy so maybe not a hack if you have sensitive skin."
