Just Got Done Shaving

[Guest sarah f]

I haven't shaved everything off for a long time know and for the life of me, I don't know why I ever stopped. I love the feeling of not having all of that hair. I also love the clean shaved look. I hope I can start HRT sometime soon so that I don't have to worry about shaving all the time. It took a while to get that smooth feeling.

Love,

Well, good for you, Hon!

I know exactly how you feel....

Oh, and you may want to use a little lotion ...helps to keep newly shaved places from itching!

Huggs!

That was the first thing I did was to put lotion on. I remember from when I did it the first time a very long time ago and did not put lotion on afterwards. I was so miserable. I swore to myself to never do that again.

A full shave (or epilating) is the best, I find if I don't do it I just feel blah and gross. I've found HRT as made my skin softer and I've since switched to female razors and they're so much better.. a closer smoother shave. Such joyous heavenly feelings

I will never shave my chest again. what a mistake, I guess my hair is just too thick, stubble = pain

I will survive the epilator even if it kills me. first thing tomorrow, and then probably again tomorrow evening when more of it has grown.

[Guest sarah f]

Epilators just sound too painful to me. The reviews say it only works for a couple of weeks before growth comes back. I don't know if the pain is worth only a couple of weeks.

once you've suffered through it once, then if you stay on top of it every other day you can barely feel it, it just kinda tickles a bit. it's just that first time that's a nightmare, you could avoid that by getting a full body wax but I think i'd wanna actually be unconscious for that. And supposedly (we shall see) once you've epilated or waxed a hair 3 or 4 times it damages the root slightly so that it doesn't hold onto the hair as tightly and then it's much less painful and much easier to pull out. it's amazing how much more hair there is beneath the skin, about a third of an inch.

[Guest sarah f]

You can be my test subject and let me know how it goes. If it is true that it doesn't hurt after the first 1 to 2 times than maybe I just might have to try it. Just let me know in a couple of weeks how it is going.

Hi honey

Just wanted to give you a few tips for the epilator.

First use lotion on the area you plan on removing hair the night before.

Next, shower before and use the epilator right after you towel off. Then after you're done use lotion again.

Do this every 2 to 4 days until your hair becomes fine, It will hurt for the first couple of times until your hair becomes fine and the roots become weak, then the pain becomes less to the point that it may not hurt at all.

Then it all depends on how fast your hair grows on how often you have to use it. I can get away from epilating a week for my chest and up to a month for my legs. The one benifit of an epilator is there is no stubble after you're done.

Jean, how long were you using the epilator before it quit hurting. I would love to not have any stubble but just wonder how long it takes before the pain mostly goes away.

Well mit droped down to a discomfort after about a week or two. But I was doing it every two to three days at first, the first and second times were the worst so be prepared. But as the hair became thinner and the roots weaker it got easier, I would have to say about a month before I didn't really feel any pain. But that's because I figured out how to do it, I think if I would wait after a shower until the pores would close up that it would probably still bother me. Also you'll have to figure out how often you have to epilate so that it doesn't grow in too thick, I can get away with about a week or a little more but I preferr to clean up that scruff about twice a week. Gotta stay lookin' smooth.

yeah I shave everything too, well everywhere I can reach and shave practically&safely. chest underarms arms hands and legs, and I'm veeeeery hairy lol. I use anti-irritation balm afterwards, albeit I still get irritated:(

use a lotion or balm without perfume. I once made the mistake to use one with perfume and I was stinking lol!!

[Guest Kaitlyn88]

The first time I used an epilator on my chest it was painful...but I made it though. I never had a lot of chest hair and now after hormones the few hairs are white and so little and fine that it doesn't even need to be removed. You pretty much need a magnifying glass lol.

Legs...now that was a different story I couldn't manage to get past part of my left shin. I don't know how anyone manages to do their legs! I wish that I could I hate getting stubble on my legs. I didn't try lotion or a shower with it, but I kind of doubt that would make it much better.
