I really hate shaving! But hate the feeling of hairy legs

AmyLR94

I just would like to ask women (and men) what they use to shave?

I really hate shaving but I need to shave because I don’t like the feel of hairs on my legs, which then it takes me a while in the shower. I have tried women’s razors 3 blades and above, I have tried men’s razors 3 blades and above, I have tried going with the way the hair goes (but ends up not smooth enough).
I would consider laser tools but unfortunately I have tattoo’s, I don’t really like the smell of creams either.

I have sensitive eczema skin and every time I shave throughout the years I end up with spotty/rashy legs (even if they are smooth). I just would like to have smooth clear of spots legs that I don’t need to shave Sob

Any ideas or recommendations? Thanks in advance x

  • I understand the sensory issues with the hair and the creams etc. I also hate the relentless repetitiveness and effort of the task.

    I have no idea whether this is helpful or not because I don't have eczema but I am prone to shaving bumps. I use the venus comfort glide razor that has built in gel. I don't find the smell or feel offensive and I can use it without any kind of shaving cream and get good results. Don't know whether you've already tried one like that or whether it would still be an issue with eczema but could be worth a try if you haven't already.

    I'm not sure what else to suggest that Iain hasn't really although those options sound painful to me. The only other thing is looking into electrolysis as that's meant to be permanent but no one seems to do that where I live so I don't know how common it is.
