Rep Power: 4  | Re: Leg Shaving I feel fortunate that my legs dont grow much hair. On one side due to trousers I think, my legs are as smooth as if they have always ben shaved, that then leaves a little hair below the knee cap inner leg. so to shave would not be a big deal as ther ewould be so little difference.
I agree though that hairy legs with nylos isnt a great look, but nicely shaved and the right colour nylons with 4 or 5 inch heels is awesome

Rep Power: 27  | Re: Leg Shaving I broke the shaving habit at the beginning of this year when I was due to meet my GF IRL for the first time. I'd been sort of looking for an excuse to stop shaving my legs for a while, as I loved the smooth feeling but had to do them every other day or so. I figured that she'd have enough to deal with with me wearing heels, so I quit.
I do kind of miss it, but enjoy only taking five minutes in the shower these days! That said, we were talking about it the other night and she said that she really doesn't mind if I want to start shaving them again. I am quite tempted, but don't know yet if I can do with the hassle involved.

Rep Power: 2  | Re: Leg Shaving I don't shave my legs I prefer to have them waxed, the the new hairs grow back in finer and and thinner, some will never grow back. It is a little painful but the end results are worth it. Most waxing salons don't mind having male clients. I've even had a bikini wax ouch!!! |

My Mood: Rep Power: 0  | Re: Leg Shaving Been shaving mine for the last 10 years! Partly due to playing sports, having ankles taped, mountain bike racing etc. Mud hurts when its hanging from your leg hair or trying to clean up! LOL So they have been smooth for a long time! Have thought about waxing them though. Some of my female friends have told me to give it try and they would go along as well! :) LOL Female co-workers tell me they love the smoth legs and nice muscle definition. Lots of pro atheletes go bare too because cuts and abraisions also heal faster and are less likely to get infected due to bacteria getting into the root area. Which also means less scars too. lol Stockings do feel tons better with smooth legs and heels feel great when breaking them in thats for sure! Just my 2 cents. Happy Holidays all!!  Hmm waxing sure sounds more tempting the more i think about it! :)

Rep Power: 9  | Re: Leg Shaving I've thought about waxing instead of shaving, but never tried it. Unless I'm mistaken, in order for the wax to effectively grab the hair, you have to let it grow out to a certain minimum length, say three or four mm. So each time, before waxing, you'd have to let the hair grow out for days through a prickly stage.
My wife's leg hair is quite fine, so she can shave only once a week or so. Mine is much coarser, and I have to do it about every two or three days or it gets prickly. |

My Mood: Rep Power: 6  | Re: Leg Shaving I like the look and feel of shaved legs, but had better results with waxing. I used a DIY kit that wasn't much more than sticky tape, but it worked. The trouble I had with shaving was it grows back quickly, and when it got to a certain length it would snag on my pants when I moved and irritate like heck. Frequent shaving also made things irritated too, but after waxing once it didn't irritate when it grew back. I'd consider doing it again when shorts season comes back. |

I love the feeling and look of shaved legs and I love the way my legs look through my pantyhose, my boots feel better when I wear my 3" or 4" heel boots under the boot cut pants. I'm thinking of waxing but have not worked up the Courage to walk in a waxing salons.  |
