Article: Make sure it's clean, sharp, rust-free and undamaged. If you have very light hair, you can use the same blade repeatedly. If you have coarse hair, you may only get a few shaves out of a blade. If you're not sure, once you feel the blade pulling or catching when you shave, it's time to change. Or bath—whatever makes you more comfortable. Do your normal washing routine before you shave. You want to let your hair and skin get wet for about two to four minutes, but not so long in hot water that your follicles start to swell up, inhibiting a close shave. If you're showering, have a seat on the edge of the tub. If you're in the bath, prop a foot up on the wall. You want your leg bent so that you can easily reach your ankles. Try to find something that has moisturizers in it. The emollients help smooth the skin, and keeping it scent-free means you lower the risk of skin irritation. Using water-soluble skin cream may be kinder to your skin than traditional shaving cream; it also frees you from having to buy gender-based shaving supplies. Begin at the bottom of your leg, and with long strokes upwards, shave the hair against the grain. Don't rush; this is not a race to the finish line. It's more important to make smooth, even strokes than a speedy chop. Rinse the razor frequently—clean hot water is best—to clean and unclog the blades, and to ensure that the blades are always wet. Work your way up the leg and don't forget your inner and outer thighs. Don't forget to rinse the razor frequently. For some people, these areas don't require shaving, for some they do. Only shave hair you think is unsightly. Carefully repeat the process on your feet—apply the cream, shave smoothly, and rinse. Shave the tops of your toes and the top of your foot. The skin on your foot is much thinner than the skin on your legs. Use caution accordingly. After you've finished with one leg, rinse it off, and repeat the entire process on the other leg. Run the tips of your fingers over all the parts of your leg that require shaving. If you find any missed bits, shave those, then continue the inspection. When you're satisfied, all is well, rinse off, towel off, and enjoy your smooth legs. Use an after-shave balm, oil, moisturizer, or medicinal embrocation to calm the skin, and reduce or eliminate the red bumps that sometimes occur with shaving.

Article: If your relationship is relatively new, it's not all that uncommon for couples to have goals and future plans that diverge. Similarly, newer couples may still have completely different inner circles of family and friends. When you and your partner develop a deeper commitment to the relationship and each other, this changes. If your boyfriend is tentative about plans and goals or hasn't introduced you to his loved one, it may not necessarily mean he's not into you. Decide if you have been together long enough (i.e.longer than a few months). It may also help to question if you have labeled your relationship as "exclusive." Every relationship requires a bit of reorganizing of the parts to make the whole work. Although your mate may show some of these signs, you might want to ask yourself if they are deal-breakers or whether you can learn to live with them. Ponder what you want out of the relationship and whether your current partner is giving it to you. Make a list of the most important aspects of a relationship from your point-of-view. Then, go down the list and evaluate where your partner stands on each characteristic. Relationships are not one-sided, so your decision-making shouldn't be either. Choose an appropriate time to sit down with your partner and share your reservations. He may be able to explain some of his choices or behaviors and put your mind at ease.  You might say, "I'm very concerned that, after three months, I haven't met any of your friends. Can you explain why?"   Listen actively to your partner, giving him the chance to fully share his side of things before responding. After you have discussed the issue with your partner, you will need to arrive at a conclusion. Is your partner full of it? Do you think he's serious about you? It's important to listen to your instincts on this one. They could be giving you clues about how to move forward. You might decide to end the relationship now, or postpone the decision until a later date. For example, if you think maybe your relationship is still young, you might wait a few months to see if some of your concerns work themselves out.

Article: Add in the garlic cloves and rosemary, and then let the meat marinate for 2-3 hours. Heat the olive oil in a large, thick-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the meat and cook until browned on each side (about 10 minutes total), adding salt as it cooks. Cook the meat in a single layer, doing one batch at a time. Add the onions to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and golden brown. Mix in the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Scrape the bottom of the pan occasionally with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Meat should be very tender when finished.

Combine the lamb and white wine in a medium-sized bowl. Remove the lamb from the marinade and pat it dry. Transfer the meat to a separate dish and set aside. Add the meat, roasted peppers, tomatoes, bay leaf, parsley, and red wine to the pan and bring the mixture to a boil. Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil again. Serve the stew warm, adding salt and pepper to taste.
