Shaving, your legs Options

[xolilkatie]

it doesnt hurt.. just dont press down to hard and use alot of shaving cream..
it will grow back thicker.. once you start shaving you pretty much have to do it forever unless you want hairy legs
so if your legs arent that hairy yet dont be in a rush to shave.. because its a pain

[beambitious]

shaving never hurts- i use a razor but i really want 2 get an electric one cause it seems faster lol

[aznbabiicutie]

nopes it doesn't hurt but make sure you use shaving cream because you just use water, you can get a razor cut and it BURNS like h*ll..

[tallaznkate]

NOPE

[islandkiss]

if you aren't careful you could get razor burn or nicks.

you usually start taking the razor to your legs around puberty-when your horomones are going crazy. So the hair is soft and pretty before you first get rid of it. then, when it grows back, it's thicker and coarser b/c your body's hormonal balance is changing- not b/c of the razor.

Thanks for all the advice guys!!

[slurp]

dont rush it though, i usually rush shaving and yeah end up having cuts and stings for a little while but yeah if your legs arent that hairy you dont need to start shaving yet because once you start you pretty much have to do it every so often

If nair lasts longer, then why dont people use that instead of a razor?

Cause it smeeeeells!

And sometimes people get allergic reactions to Nair... i know i did. And when my cousin used it... it stunk up the whole house for HOURS

[sharerolling]

Oooooooooooh!!! Well, in that case, nair is not for me cuz my nose is very weak!

[aznxdreamer]

[adorablexme]

[happygoluckyng]

[lilphoenix]

usin' the right stuff... no.

i use intuition. (buh-bai nicks/cuts!)

everythin' and all u need is water.

or the alternative: waxing.

[juliar]

Thanks for the advice. But wont it grow back? And longer too? Well thats what I heard. And then its such a hassle to shave it like every week.

You can just do it when youre showering, its not that big of a deal. And over vacations you dont have to shave if youre at home. SO yeah. It doesnt actually grow back longer though, at least i dont think so.

Or you can nair it, but i just find that strange. ANd I don't think nairing is that good because its like chemicals and it smells weird.

[eli5e]

lol no it does not hurt..

[*stephinika*]

yeah don't worry about it, doesn't hurt unless you accidentally cut yourself. haha i'm lucky. i'm almost 16 and i have almost no hair on my legs, and people ask if i wax/shave and i don't have to cause it looks like i do. woo!

[dani41790]

umm well it doesnt hurt but umm if u start shaving then ur gonna hafta continue shaving cuz your hair mite grow back thicker

[nyctophiliac]

no it doesnt hurt
1. Put shaving cream on your leg
2. Start shaving
3. Put after-shave lotion on it

[princessx143]

^ whats a good after-shave lotion?
you put it on right after you get out of the shower or right after you shave, right?

[aliiicimo]

Be really careful around the underside of your knees.
I've cut there so much that I just avoid it now, because it bleeds & hurts really bad.
You have to really stretch your legs out to do under your knees.(:
