Shaving
« on: December 17, 2006, 03:47:08 pm »
I always hated shaving my legs and wouldn't do it as often as most girls, but then this past year I met my boyfriend and he convinced me to stop.  It's so much nicer not having to shave!  My skin is also a lot more healthy now that I've stopped.

I shave my legs when I plan on wearing a skirt or shorts, but if they aren't going to be visible I sometimes don't bother with it. I also sometimes shave other parts of my body, but it also depends on what I'm wearing and if I'm going out in girl-mode or androgynous-mode.

I shave just about everything from the neck down and of coarse the face. Though I will sometimes go without shaving for a few days. It doesnt seem to stand out as much. I can feel the stubble after a day or two.

Hey! It's another Owen!  My boyfriend's name is Owen and he's the only Owen I've ever known.  I think being female is ok.  There are pros and cons for both being male and female.  I guess when it comes to shaving, I'm glad I'm female though.  I do shave my arm pits, but that takes like two seconds to do, but it would be annoying to have to shave my face all the time and I don't think I'd want to deal with facial hair.  I've contemplated whether or not I should let my armpits go completely and just see what it's like.  Maybe I'll get brave enough to do it eventually, but for some reason, that just doesn't seem like a place where I'd want hair.

It doesn't bother me much, but I haven't known anything else since hair started growing there.  Same for my legs.  I never liked facial hair much, though.

I don't like shaving. I want to laser off everything I shave right now. ITs a pain.

I'm torn between liking the look of smooth skin but hating that I'm the one that has to do it. Its like I look in the mirror and think "Hey nice legs baby" and then expect that chick in the mirror to keep it up. LOL.

Sorry but we are bi-gender so could not do the poll. (Male or Female) :(
But we do save are legs, arms and anywhere else that grows hair.
But we often use a eliptor to get the job done, no nicks and smooth hairless skin.

The poll asks about your sex, not your gender. Does that help?

I've tried that a few times but if you're not diligent about it, it becomes it's own special type of torture.  >:D

I stopped shaving just to see if my body hair still bugs me and it does. So I'll be back to shaving my arms, armpits, and legs. Fortunately I can't grow chest hair even with the strongest of coffees so that saves me a little time.

Not if you're in the middle of transitioning or IS.  :-\

I always though the correct answer to sex was "Yes, please"

I've been thinking this is the way to go, but haven't quite gotten there yet...guess I need to check out the How-To section for more info

That's very true Melissa. Although I know what HelloToYou was going for it doesn't quite work in a community like ours, does it?

Then how come the forms I filled out when I was a teenager always said to put M or F and not Y or N? Well, OK, it was just a few forms but they were usually for church. Seriously.

I shave my legs and underarms, but not my face.  >:D

Smooth legs feel much better than hairy legs.  When I first started to shave my legs on a regular basis I would feel self-conscious in the summer when I wear shorts a lot.  No one ever said anything to me about having shaved legs, so now I do not think of it at all.

You were still born with a sex.  I suppose I could have included intersexed.  I was careful to not say gender because that is not what I am going for.

It's ok.  I just couldn't answer the poll, because physically, I'm neither fully male nor fully female.  If I had to choose one based on what I was physically closer to, it would be female.  Of course at this point I'm not so sure I started off fully male.

I only shave when i know it's going to be showing... like when i wear sleeveless shirts, or stockingless skirts, or bikinis.  marq and mia don't really notice because it doesn't grow fast at all.  I just need her to do it too! :P
