How often do you shave your legs?

[evecrook]

every other day I like the feel of really smooth legs when I sleep

[Northern Jane]

I am incredibly lucky! I don't know if it my genes or being 40 years post-op but I don't have body hair except for a very fine blond "peach fuzz" that is too soft to be felt and so fine as to be nearly invisible. I don't even have armpit hair. I am the envy of even my cis female friends. Except for the hair on my head and my pubis, I am smooth and hair-free and LOVE IT!

Formerly presenting as a man I never shaved but trimmed the forest.

Now on HRT it is delightful to find what does slowly grow back is blond, velus, fine hair rather than the carpet.

My legs are in leggings or tights in this fall & winter clime so a shave is sporadic and mostly to feel that smoothness.

Luckily I only shave mine once every 5 days. Tjere isn't anything to shave before that, and could wait longer but I like my legs to be smooth and completely hair free, so every 5 days

Probably about once or twice a week.  Still takes me a while to do a good job and thus I normally end up doing it if I still have any energy after the kiddos go to sleep so as not to offend the wife by taking a super long shower while there's things to be done.

Every couple of days. Depends on if I'm running late for work or not. I am a pretty big body-hair-phobe though and it will drive me crazy if I feel them on my clothes or sheets or anything. God forbid I find a derelict hair follicle somewhere on my body. I may have a mild case of OCD.

And yes to this.  Throughout high school when hair started popping up on my shoulders and chest I would pluck them out.  I would do this no mater where I was and if I had tweezers or not and keep picking at it until it was gone.  Thinking back this was another of those signs I think I should have picked up on pointing to gender disphoria.

Damn I hate that hair, shaved nice smooth last night, tonight allready scratchy. Ugggg.

I shave both my legs and armpits once a week. Might be twice a week when I go full-time but the hair doesn't grow super quick and isn't easy to notice until it gets longer. Also hoping spiro will thin it out more.

Anyone epilate? Going to do that again once I find my epilator lol.

Epilators are torture!  A girl I know does it and it makes her cry.

[Sabrina]

I try to partially shave them every other day. While I would love smooth legs every day, it would just take too much time as I have tall / big legs. I basically just touch up as I see stuff.

Epilators are torture!  A girl I know does it and it makes her cry.

It's only torture the first time you have to remove full growth.  For maintenance, it's really not bad at all.  I recommend using another method like waxing to remove the hair the first time and then when you epilate regularly, there are only a few hairs that have grown enough to be caught each time.   I also recommend getting an epilator with a 'face' attachment.  It only has a small tweezer area and can be used all over with much less pain.

I have to shave my gorilla legs all the flippin time. 



Ok thats it.  I'm getting an epilator.  I just hope I don't end up crying too. (I probably will  )

[Murbella]

oh, and forgot to add to my first post.  I had recently picked up one of the Tria laser hair removal things.  I have the ideal skin/hair constrast for it and it is actually working.  I will project that most of my hair is going to take about 4-5 zaps with 2 weeks between zaps, but its doing the job.  My torso and legs are getting all patchy! 

[FrancisAnn]

The Tria system works if on dark hairs. I bought one over a year ago. Good luck girl friend

I shave my legs every 2nd day.. I hate the feeling of stubble on my legs.. I love the silky smooth finish.. I love the feeling of freshly shaved legs on my bed sheets and in pantyhose. I still shave my legs with the razor, with shaving cream.. I know very old school.

I also shave my private areas every 2nd day, as I hate been itchy there when the hair starts growing back.

My pits, I shave once a week in the winter and twice a week in the summer.

My wax my arms about once a month.. i hate hair on my arms.

I want to laser my arms and pits.. but the laser of my face and chest hurt.. My roommate laser-ed her arm pits, as she hated shaving there

[KabitTarah]

Twice a week for legs. They could stand to get it more, but I can't take hour long showers (those are on Saturday or Sunday... for the full body treatment - which unfortunately STILL leaves ton of hair behind).

Front torso (chest, belly) and arms are daily. for me. Arms are the most noticeable and the chest and belly hair grows back LONG within a day (hope that doesn't mean laser in my future).

[Shantel]

Guess I'm lucky I have zip, none, nada body hair other than crotch, underarms and some facial. I used to shave my legs which were sparse to begin with but it just quit growing, probably age and hormonally related. I get a tiny patch just under my kneecaps that I scrape off every few months is all. Wish I had more on the crown of my head though! 

[VickyMI]

Had mine lasered. 
Actually had my whole body lasered. 
10 sessions over 14 months
Love the results no stubble. 

Still doing electrolysis on my face and neck. 225 hours and two years into it.

[Marissa]

I wish I could go with laser but I think my coloration is too fair. 

[RavenMoon]

Once a week I guess? Depends on how busy I am, or how hairy they are! No one is seeing them but me at the moment, so it's not like I have on a skirt or something.

I shave my legs, and other parts, but on my arms I used an epilator, which lasted quite a while. I just did them again yesterday.
