I love the feel of smooth skin (I really hate body hair on myself). It is a lot of work to maintain, but overall happiness goes up when I do it

Definitely prefer smooth to hairy. Which reminds me it's time again.

I love shaving my legs, I shave them every second day as I love the smooth silky feeling. I shave with Gel and a razor. It does not take too long. I shave my entire leg right to my crouch. Also I shave my armpits, which i think trickier than the legs as i am so scared i am gonna cut myself.

I have laser work done on my arms with my chest and face. so no shaving required... was too scared to include the pits with the work.

Wearing pantyhose on freshly shaven legs is feels amazing.

My leg hair vanished after a few years on HRT and waxing and shaving.I sometimes got a rash from shaving.I've not done it for a long time as I have celulitis and varicose exzcema

I love to have my legs shaved, for one day. I hate to shave them because it takes an eternity and is very uncomfortable, and I hate the following day when it starts growing back, hurting and irritating my skin.

Dear A,

I do not understand why it takes so long??? just gel up & start at the ankle with long strokes up to the knee area. Knee needs to be bent some to get that area smooth. Second from knee area to the top in one long stroke. If you miss a spot or 2 no big deal, better not to have any cuts!

About time for my bath, shave, etc...

Good luck girl friend.

First reason: Because of the awful consequences (irritation, ingrowns, etc.) I rarely do it, so it's awfully long when I do it.

Second and permanent reason: Even if the above is not present, I am incredibly slow and clumsy. With everything.

Dear A, OK girlfriend. Please have a great evening.

total pita, but I love it! worth the work!! I don't use shaving cream though.. I use hair conditioner.. leaves my leggies soft n smooth..  you need to keep up on them if.you use my method.. otherwise long hair and conditioner plugs razors quick..

I am looking into getting a norelco body groom..seems to get.raving mad reviews

I don't use shaving cream or gel or even soap.

._. I just use a cheap dispensable razor from the drugstores when I shower.

I love having smooth legs.  Have to shave about every other day, use cheap hair conditioner and a good razor.  Makes my pantyhose look great.  It's really worth the 3-5 minutes it takes to do a good job.  I trim my arm hair, but shave every thing else.

I use an industrial sized bottle of Pantene conditioner. Works awesome as a shaving lotion.

Conditioner as shaving lotion sounds like a great idea though. I might try it. Shaving gel gets rinced off easily, and the annoying thing about conditioner is precisely that it's a pain to rince. Sounds perfect for shaving.

Appreciate the comments of summerbreeze above... yes it is still the male pattern.  So no sybaritic pleasures in shaving it

However, i have started using a Braun epilator... OUCH the things we do for beauty.  Took a long hot bath whilst it charged up, thinking i could do everywhere, how convenient...OUUUUUCH !   Everywhere?!? ...barely got through one thigh and two underarms.  But pleased with the progress, the aftercare (i am using Nisim Kalo, which is supposed to slow down subsequent hair growth).

Then i got used to it and the ouch faded to something like Chinese water torture.

Any other experience with epilating here?   I have no idea if i'm doing it right !

I think i ought to leave the fine downy soft hair on the fronts of my lower legs, the shins, for Summer.  Here in Vermont it is common for women to do so...  think tie-dye long dresses, boots and folk music    Then perhaps one day i will enjoy shaving on the female pattern.

Then after next Winter i should be more advanced on HRT and either it won't matter any more, or I'll be covered in so many layers that if i have to present as male, nobody will know.

Fortunately i do not have much of it, having red hair and fair skin, little-to-no body hair is something that i have always been thankful for.

I know   date no. 2 with Frau Braun is set for tonight... first a candlelit bubble bath to get in the mood, /giggle

Hair removal is like Dilation ... no pain, no gain. 

I hate the process, it takes so long sometimes but I love the results.

Do i love shaving...uhhhh no. Do i love the super smooth feeling after shaving, hell yes...especially when i hop into bed and feel the soft cool blankets against my legs. Or how a loose skirt or dress softly brushes against my bare leg. It's truly amazing.

Why the funny color toe nails???

Why do you go off topic to bother with that? Stay on topic or start a new one about nail polish of your own

Thank you
