 so idk if it's my razor or if my hair is just weird, but when i shave my legs it's like they're stubbly right after, not smooth. i mean not super stubbly, it doesn't look gross, but i can feel hair on my legs even though i just shaved.any tips/really good razors/tips? anyone?

maybe you have thick leg hair. or maybe they just grow back really fast.
mine grows back pretty quickly too. but most of the time that mine's stubbly is b/c i dont really shave it well. i always rush and i do some half ass shaving. and i hate shaving in the winter. mine's stubbly when i get goosebumps from the cold. you could try changing the razor... |

Hehe, mine are like that. Try one of those razors with 4 blades instead of 3. It seems to work better for me.
And if that doesn't work, use Jergen's lotion. I forgot what it's called, but it's a specialty lotion for right after you shave your legs and if you use it after every shave, it will keep them smoother for longer. |

The suggestion above seems really good.
 I'm like that, too.  Which is why I use a product like Nair. It takes a while, but it's worth it in the end. That new spray-off hair thing seems good, also. |

It actually is better than three. There was a significant difference for me. I remember when having 2 blades was a big deal. I got cheap last time I bought razors and I bought the 2-blade disposables and they didn't work very well. I really miss using my 4-blade Schick.

Does your razor have those conditioner strip thingy? I think those would make the shave smoother.
Well, at least it's like that for my Schick Intuition. |

try veet!! its that bladless razor kit with the cream. yeah it kinda reaks and mt legs got really tingly and itchy after (i think i left it on too long...) but hey my legs were sooo effin smooth, and no stubble for like 3 days. seriously so worth it.

i use venus divine... i think it has 3 blades? does 4 really make a difference?
and nair and veet and stuff like that freak me out because the chemicals aren't good for your skin and if you rub it in too much or leave it on too long it can get into your bloodstream and that's just a little unsettling for me...  &&like i use lotion, it's not that my legs are dry or anything afterwards, there's just still hair there! so frustrating. i was thinking of getting one of those intuition things that's like got built in shaving cream...are those any good? |

Jergens Naturally Smooth Shave Minimizing Moisturizer? I don't use it, but I googled. 'tis a longgg name.

Put conditioner on your legs for like, five minutes before you shave. It makes your hair softer and smoother, thus providing a closer shave.
and uh, I really like then men's gilette fusion. It works extremely well. |

Perhaps its just the cream or the razor you use. Or you can always try a different approach like waxing.

Put oil on your legs before you shave. [like, alot of oil]. It's helps.
When I don't use the product like Nair [like when I'm too lazy  ], I do that.I usually shave right before I take a shower, or during. The oil really helps.

If you use shaving cream/gel they should get smooth. Make sure that you're actually using the razor against your skin (That sounds odd for some reason). Replace your blades if that doesn't work.
I use Venus. Just bought a new one on Saturday, because they get old after while. |
