i just spent an hour of torture, shaving my legs for the first time. what a pain in the ass. don’t know if i like it yet. feels sorta cool. don’t know if the gf will like it but we’ll soon find out.
also shaved my balls while i was down there! hahahahaha!
I wish I could commit. My skin is just so damned sensitive to shaving. I only shave my face once per week (just trim without a guide to keep the facial hair under control). I even have to get my chest waxed, if I shave my skin hates me for 24 hours on my face, 4 days on my chest, and nearly a week on my legs.
Has anyone had any experience with an electric shaver on their legs? My body seems to get along with those better.
I tried the Norelco Bodyshave on my legs. Not close enough for my taste and took forever to shave. It is a wet/dry shaver. I tried it in the shower. That may have been my problem. I usually shave with a blade once per week.
Now, shaving the boys on the other hand, the Bodyshave was outstanding! Highly recommend.
Something about an electric razor scares me around the boys. Oddly enough, I feel better with an exposed blade that I have more control with feels much more secure.
To the other post: I’ll give nair a shot. It just smells so bad.
I burned the SHIT out of myself using Nair a couple years ago. Seriously, stung like crazy and felt like 3rd degree sunburn. Skin was bright red and very, very painful for a day or two. Not good. If you try it, use a really small amount on a limited area until you see how your skin will handle it.
for me it started with shaving my legs for cycling and and now im a hairless cat… it gets addicting… its so much sloother and cleaner and the young ladies love it… started waxing my arms after a bad road crash left me pretty burned.
might be how you’re shaving… my skin bothered me for a while then it was ok. shave the legs, arms, chest, and… boys about twice a week with no problem now.
Is there anything better than nair? I tried the nair for men, and it was not quite effective… I’m hairy, and ended up looking like i had some kind of mange or something. razor below the waist and #1 guard above is all that works.
LOL!!! it isn’t fpr pubes man!!! (joking) , I only used it the first time I decided to remove the hair from my…body, the hairs left behind were all stretchy and stuff…it was weird.
considering waxing? electrolysis if ur serious?.. waxing my arms is effective… shave the rest twice a week. use dove soap in the shower… best for making your skin nice. i find being tan helps. the paler u get the drier and more irritated ur skin gets after shaving. so get a tan too. and shave right after tanning.
The only reason I even bother in the winter is b/c tights just look weird w/ a bunch of hairs poking out (good visual, huh?). I’ve been removing hair from myself for about 8 years now, and no matter what, I have to give it a rest at some point and let the ingrowns pop out and heal up. My wife of 6 yrs has always maintained that it’s weird, but what did she expect? I had no furniture and 2 bikes in my TV room when we met.
I use electric clippers designed for shaving your head. Cuts the hair very close (although no where near like shaving), takes 5 mins and you avoid the skin issues. I feel faster, hair is short enough that masaages are no problem. If you’re in it purely for the esthetic “feel”, might not be a close enough cut for you.
Im surprised you can get your chest waxed with sensitive skin. i did it once and took like a week or so to heal.
best thing for any area of the body, the Intuition. best womens shaver on the market
buy a beard trimmer/electric razor you would use to give someone a crew cut. go over the body first with that then finish the job with shaving cream and a razor.
same with getting rid of a beard. need to trim the hairs first if youre hairy
