Leg Shaving!


Lets talk legs. Do you use a razor, nair, veet or are you one of the lucky ones who don't need to shave? How often do you need to shave?

I use a razor and shaving cream. I've tried Nair and Veet but I just can't get them to work for me.

ha ha ha.

This is too funny, all because I REALLY need to shave.

My leg hair is quite dark, so I have to shave every 2-3 days. ( it's been 6 days
)

I either shave or use an epilator. Maybe once a year I'll go for a wax. I want to try that body sugaring tho.

I have tried Nair, and products like it..... doesn't work for me.

I have done laser hair removal, and even though I didn't finish the treatment (I did 5 of 8 treatments), I was left with very little hair - When I shave I use an electric shaver...

I use a man's razor and regular soap & water.

I shave every 3 or 4 days all year round. It drives me crazy when my leg hair is long

I use a regular razor and soap and water. My leg hairs are very soft, though, so if I want to go longer in between shaving, I do.

Definitely mens razors, I don't know why they are so much better! I'm generally pretty frustrated with how much razers costs these days, but there is little you can do about it. I get really itchy when my leg hair is too long, so it's every 2 to 3 days or I'm scratching like mad.

I've been banned from using veet because of the smell
hubby can't stand it, but it's so much easier!!!

My brother shaves because he's a pretty serious runner
(did the half this summer and a full marathon in October) and apparently his legs also get quite itchy. I spend almost the entire day with him (he was wearing shorts) before I noticed how smooth his legs were!!

Hubby trims certain parts of his body, but we don't need to get into that...
(His chest hair sickos!!
)
He also likes to do his head from time to time
I keep telling him he looks ridiculous but he says it's cooler! We did do our son early in the summer because he has TONS of hair, we shaved the baby

I use a razor and soap. I've got blond hair so i can get away with not shaving for a while. I don't even pay attention to how many days between shaves, I just do it when I feel like it's time.

Speaking of the high cost of razors... besides that, do we really need 5 blades?? Really? I struggle these days to find replacement blades for my Gilette Sensor which is a 2 blade razor. I like 2. More than that and i feel like each blade is taking off a successive layer of skin... I think there was an SNL commercial for the Mach 13 that went down to the bone or something silly..

I'd like to learn to use a straight razor sometime, but then i think, I like my blood on the inside.. haha

I shave as little as possible
when I do, I use a single blade women's razor with shaving cream but sometimes I use hair conditioner instead

ETA: I do shave my armpits everyday, it's my legs I don't shave

I use either soap or men's shaving cream and the lady Venus razor. I don't nick myself around the ankles as much since I've been using the Venus. But I usually stop just above my knees as the thigh hair isn't very noticable!

I'm one of the evolved as well.
I shave my armpits about once every 4 months and get very little for my effort. Legs - haven't shaved them for 24 years and have no hair at all on them.

I hate that stubbly feeling, so I shave every couple days with soap and a regular ladies' razor.

I guess I am one of the lucky ones as well. I have very little hair on my legs and what I do have is very light and is extremely hard to see. So I just shave my legs occasionally, then with a razor and shaving cream.

You're allowed to have hairy legs, Rigel. On guys it's sexy.

But we have to keep your legs looking good when you wear a kilt!

Shave my legs every 2-3 days during spring/summer, winter it's every 3-4. I'm also a runner and it's still warm to wear shorts so I need to keep them shaved.

I use a Schick quatro razor & cheap shaving cream. Single and double blades nick me and I hate when I miss a spot and have a strip of peach fuzz leftover so the triple or quatro blades work great for me.

Razor, and I shave about once a week, occasionally more during shorts weather if I feel I need to and sometimes go longer in the winter. I have very fine leg hair, so I don't need to shave until it gets pretty long.
