Shaving my legs

[Larisa]

Okay so I started to shave my legs regularly again about 2 weeks ago but it takes awhile to shave them. I only have to shave every 3 or 4 days but my electric razor doesnt seem to help. It takes forever to catch some hairs and it gets tiring. What's a good razor I can like shave them, it takes maybe 5 or 10 minutes and It gets it really smooth. I tried plain old blades but got a cut. I just want that cool, smooth sexy feeling on my legs.

The Schick Intuition is pretty good!

I use the Philips Norelco Bodygroom 7100 - Chrome.

Its technically "for men", so if you want one that is "for women" I guess it isn't the best option, but I LOVE my 7100! I use it for everything from my armpits to my knees (I use a single blade for shaving my face and a Schick Hydro Silk from the knee down). The main reason I got a body groomer is that my thighs never got used to being shaved and I always end up with really bad razor burn. The 7100 has a shaver on one end and a beard trimmer on the other, but I just popped the guide/guard off the beard trimmer and use it to trim when I go too long between shaving. It take a little bit of time to shave my thighs with it, but it works very well. I end up having stubble a day or two later, but since I can sit on my couch and watch tv while using it, it doesn't bother me too much, usually. I'd recommend at least looking into it. It costs about $70 at Target but well worth it if you ask me.

Hope this helps.

I first used a men's electric razor, and then figured out that was complete crap. So I switched to the "venus" (by phillips i think?) and sold it pretty much every drug store at least in the United States. One blade lasts about a month shaving 3 times a week, and it takes maybe a maximum of 7 minutes. It works very well! However, It takes going slow and just practice to not get cuts but I somehow never really had an issue and I didn't have prior experience! If you have sensitive skin, or even if you don't I would severely recommend shaving cream as this helps so much! I cannot give a recommendation on a specific product, though. Cost, I think about $3 a razor replacement and maybe $3 for the starting handle-- I know I bought a pack of 3 razors and a starting handle for like $12-15. Hope this helps!

I use the same one everywhere on my body., Gillette Power Fusion.  It works well everywhere.  My wife uses it too since there is only one razor in the house. 

Unless I wait months between shaves it only takes a few minutes, 2 to 3 min max on each leg.

I noticed after an initial cheap wax kit my leg hairs seem to grow in slower, after that, I use my 4blade razor from the dollar shave club, which is pretty awesome and really affordable for anything shaving.

Omg get another razor... There's all sorts of bacteria and things that make it so you shouldn't shave your face with the same blades you use to shave your armpits, same with legs and genital area. It makes it more likely you'll get ingrown hairs and that's with different areas of your own body.
People are just giant bags of bacteria, and sharing them with other people will only exacerbate the probability of infection and ingrowns. Sharing is not caring when it comes to other people, and people can seriously get gangrene from just the bacteria in your saliva if they don't apply an antibacterial to any abrasion or cut. Yes the bacteria living on your skin are a bit less harmful, but still not good to share.

I hadn't thought of that but we have been sharing the same razor now for a few decades without a problem yet.  Maybe we've been married so long we have the same bacteria colonies now.

Try Shave Secret. It's an oil. Use 5 or 6 drops for your lower/upper leg. Walgreens, Walmart etc...Wet your leg, and then rub in the oil. Rinse your blade OFTEN and it's the ->-bleeped-<-. I've got frizzy hair and have always struggled w ingrown hairs...this REALLY helped, and a great smooth shave

For your legs try shaving with a tea-tree shampoo like you can get at the beauty parlor.  Do so on a day when it's appropriate to wear Sheer Energy pantyhose.  The combo of the tea-tree oils cooling your skin with hose massaging them is fantastic.
