Talk to me about your hair removal routine?

Mainly for your legs that is.

For those that shave do you do it in the shower or out of the shower?

How often?

I find that when I try to do it in the shower I wind up doing a bum job- it's dark in there and I miss a lot of spots.

So I end up doing it with my leg up on the toilet seat, or sometimes even the sink and all these contortionist moves, etc.

Just wondering what everyone else does and if I am missing out some great trick that makes it easier?

In the shower. We have a big bathroom with a little seat/stool thing so I put my leg up on there. If I do it in the mornings b4 work I do a sucky job

Usually do a quick jobs in the winter since I'm mostly covered up and I care more in the Spring/Summer when I actually have to show my legs Chat Icon

In the shower everyday. I have ADD...cannot stand hair on my legs or underarms. Takes me about 3 minutes tops...I've become a pro. I do it standing up with a little soap. Since I do it so often there is usually not much there so it's much easier.Chat Icon

I do it everyday in the shower. I am manic.. even if there isn't hair, I just shave.. I use shaving cream and if I'm out of it, then I use cheapie conditioner.. works just as good.

Re: Talk to me about your hair removal routine?

I shave in the shower daily or every other day (depends on the season!), and rely mostly on my sense of touch to make sure I got everything. I also keep an extra razor in the cabinet and in case I notice that I missed anything when I got out, I just take care of it quickly.

Re: Talk to me about your hair removal routine?

I do them in the shower. I usually do a pretty crappy job because I don't care. lol.

If I want to do it nicely, I sit on the edge of the tub in my underroos, use shaving gel, and take the shower head down so I can rinse properly. That hasn't happened since I got married last May. lol.

i shave in the shower every other day and they turn out good. i tried shaving out of the shower a few times and it wasn't pretty. i also tried waxing them once and didn't think it was worth the pain or money

Yep, you got it. It hurts a lot the first couple of times you do it. But after a while using it, it hardly hurts at all.

Re: Talk to me about your hair removal routine?

In the shower, I feel my legs when I get in, if I feel stubby I shave. I've been using shower gel that I have excess of. I got my bikini, underarm and lip lasered, I plan to do my legs soon!

Have you tried sugar waxing? My friend does it and swears by it. She hates shaving and goes to a Russian girl who waxes everything. She said it lasts pretty long too.
