I use an electric for the face and foam on the legs so when I was at the local stuff mart and they had a kids shaving kit on sale (fake razor and foam) I had to pass–I could just see my son putting the foam all over his legs and doing it like daddy does.
As for my daughter who just turned 12, I was in the bathroom last summer and the wife and my daughter walked in, I stated “Sweety, It’s time you learn to shave your legs and you might as well learn from your dad” The wife gives me the “look” and we all had a good laugh.
For years my son always told me body hair is “gross”, but now he’s almost 15 and his legs have been getting quite hairy. He didn’t want to shave them completely in case the other kids thought he was a sissy, but he got his older sister to “trim” them. He makes no bones how he feels regarding chest hair. He says once he starts getting that he’ll get it waxed so he doesn’t “end up looking like dad”.
I’m 23, don’t have any kids…but here’s something you can teach them. DON’T BUY CHEAP a$$ racors from the 99 cents store. Invest in the good, expensive, MACH3! Learned the hard way…in a hurry like usual, at the same speed as with my old Mach3 I shaved have of my leg open. Was bleeding like a MF…scar can still be seen today. If you ask? Of course it was from a bike crash.
