First Time Shaving

[Sarah S]

First time I shaved my legs it was nice but when the hair started growing back they itched an the all the little red bumps and after a long shaving no more red bumps or itching I like keeping my legs hairless an smooth. the only place I have hair is on my head an a little patch where I'm not saying

It was a wonderful feeling the first time I shaved my legs, it was magical. this happened in 2008

I remember, I was in bath and I lathered my legs with shaving cream and I shaved with a razor, I did not cut myself the first time. I had a girl friend give me tips on shaving before hand.

I loved the feeling my legs, it was so smooth, I remember I wore a pair of pantyhose that day, and that the feeling of the hose on my freshly shaved legs was amazing.

i have kept them shaved ever since..

I first shaved my legs when I was 15 and  it was and is heaven.

Having smooth legs again is probably one of the biggest things that I'm happy about recently. And I actually LOVE shaving them, with the only thing about it that annoys me being how long it takes. But I've hated my leg hair ever since it started growing in the first place, around 8th grade or so. My first time ever shaving them was in 9th grade. I stole one of my mom's razors, and went at it. And you know what? It was AWESOME!!! I LOVED the feeling of having smooth legs so much! But unfortunatey, a few guys at school did notice, and they teased me about it, and me being the shy push-over that I am, that social pressure was enough to force me to stop. Well, fast forward 13 years, and my smooth legs are back, baby! And this time not a damned person in the world is going to be able to make me stop. I LOVE having smooth legs! That feeling after shaving, looking down at your smooth silky legs and feeling how soft they are, that is one of the best feelings in the world. And now that HRT has knocked the hair density down and made the skin softer, it's even better! I LOVE it!!!

I'm so glad everyone had similar awesome experiences and feelings with shaving.  I knew I was signing myself up for a lot of work, I'm just glad it was worth it.

Can I steer the conversation towards shaving advice?  Specifically I was wondering what people liked/disliked in terms of razors and shaving products and whatnot?  When I went shopping, my wife suggested I try Skintimate Shave Cream for Sensitive Skin - It foams up a storm and works really well.  I'm just curious about what else is out there.

Thanks!

I've gotten good results with a Revlon RV557 electric shaver.

You ladies really like discomfort!!!

I hate shaving ..only waxing....
And now laser

I'm still using a Gillette Fusion... old habits die hard.

It admittedly is a bit harsh on the legs, (coconut oil really helps to clear up the bumps, though,) but those girly moisturizey razors don't really work on the face, and I still need it for that between laser sessions, so I'm stuck with it for the time being.

My first time shaving was actually before I fully realized I was trans. I just randomly decided to do it and went for it. It took about two hours and I didn't completely finish, I had to spend an hour the next morning finishing up 

I had so much hair so it took forever and I ended up cutting myself like 10 times, and a lot of them were really deep! I got much better after that now that I'm now longer destroying a forest.

Anyway after all the hours of work, I fell in love with the feel of my smooth legs that I didn't care that I had band-aids all over my knees. Still the day or so after shaving I have a real hard time keeping my hands off.
