I have to put lotion on anyway just to keep from drying out… it’s way nicer without all of the hair!!

I didn’t even get all the way smooth because I’m prone to ingrown hairs, so no worries on that front haha, with the grain all the way. I might have to try DE next time, since that’s about the fewest blades possible. I moisturized afterwards as well, but it was just regular lotion and not aftershave of any sort.

Glad to hear things might adapt eventually! I have a super rough cloth somewhere that I should find and use. Thank you for the tips :)

My leg skin is looking and feeling a lot less angry today, so that’s good news. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to sit comfortably for weeks with how much ingrown hair felt like was about to be happening yesterday!

It’s definitely worse body-wise for me as well. I just seem to be pretty prone to shaving problems for some reason. I’ve had some issues with regular razors on my face that were fixable by switching to a DE and shaving every other day, but nothing as bad as electric. I will have bad problems immediately with an electric razor on my face and neck, so I’m not even about to try that elsewhere lol.

I haven’t tried waxing or epilating, definitely worth a shot! I tried a cream once, but still had more issues than I was happy about. I might need to just do it more, and also I think I could do better about exfoliating, which might help. Thanks!

I tried one of those creams once and got more ingrown hairs than I was happy with. Maybe I need to do better about exfoliating.

Razors and electric razors are also not great for me so far, but maybe my skin will adapt to the blades eventually. I’ve had good luck with a DE razor for my face, so maybe I just need to give that a chance further down as well.

I haven’t tried waxing yet, or sugaring. We have an IPL lying around, though. It’s not laser but maybe I’ll give it a shot. Cost aside, I don’t think I want to try laser until I’m sure that I like myself better smooth; I’m kind of in a figuring-out stage right now.

Thank you for the input :)

It just keeps getting worse. This is very not cute. I might just have to be a hairy, un-smooth-legged person.

Hm I found one of those hair erasers that I bought a while back. Seems to work pretty well. Kinda worried about ingrown hairs. I think I’ll give my legs a day or two to think about life and then hit them with the eraser and see if I regret it.

Luckily I missed some patches with the razor so I could test the other thing.

I don’t like leg hair. It’s coarse and rough and irritating… and it gets everywhere.

There’s just too much of it. Call for backup!!

Any leg ensmoothening tips would be greatly appreciated.

A lot of people don’t know this but if you sell someone nail polish and they use it for The Gay you are legally obligated to also do The Gay for a period of no less than 18 months
