Shave or Cream

[Shawna777]

Hi everyone ....
When it comes to leg hair do you shave or use cream (nair...ext) and how often

I can't shave anymore because literally 2 days after I get many in grown hairs, as well as the goose bumps and cold shivers. I hate my body hair. Creams always worked well, tubes don't last as long, they usually last a single use as I use it on my whole body. Now I just use this body buzzer that is amazing, it's by "axe". It has the clippers on both sides and a tubular perforated cutter in the middle ( similar to a face buzzer) it takes the hair to just below the surface so smooth skin and minimal in growns. Can't wait for laser.

I shave my legs once a week.

For the story of my one and only encounter with hair cream:

I've tried epilators, nair, and shaving and so far I like nair the most.

Nair:
Pros
+Hair grows back finer than with shaving
+Takes a little bit longer than with shaving to regrow
+Less ingrown hairs than shaving
+No razor burn
+Much smoother legs than after shaving
+Easier to get all the hair than with an epilator
+Least effort of the three methods

Cons
-Doesn't last as long as epilator
-Can be uncomfortable/smells bad (this doesn't bother me)
---Expensive (big con, a bottle is like 8 dollars, and doesn't last that long), razors last me much longer and an epilator is a one off cost.


The reason I don't use my epilator all the time is that it takes far longer than either shaving or nair (especially on legs, such a huge area to work on), and it's hard to get every single hair, plus it can sometimes just break off hair at skin level, leaving coarse stubble. The epilator works great for my arms though.


Edit: Just checked amazon (usually get it at a drug store), and a 3 pack is about 11 dollars, which is a far better price. So the expensive con isn't so bad.
