Safe Shaving

[Guest toro]

In a month or two I'm going to take action and start shaving my legs, and my armpits. I was wondering if it is ok to do so with men's razor. If sanitation is the only problem, I have many separate razors to use. I was also wondering about he hair on my arms, my stomach/chest and most of all and most embarrassing is the hair on my finger/toe joints. I know I'm not all that known around here or anything but I'm very limited to resources due to my parents and their religion. Also, I will be getting my driver's license and car in a month so I will have transportation and will be able to spend my money.

This is a bit off topic ; but I'm planning to buy and hide feminine clothes and accessories in the spare tire compartment (under trunk) of my car. Is this a good idea? (parents check room and wardrobe/closet often. I also don't really have friends because I am somewhat anti-social; though I can assure anyone my social skills are very good/stable. Graduating highschool next year (just another point out).

Thanks for the help in advanced. I love you L.P. Forums ~

Have a great day!

Toro, I can say from experience that a male shaver with 3 blades is just fine to shave your legs and underarms. I also shave my chest and belly with them. Just make sure you put lotion on each day for about 3 days before you start to shave. This helps in the reduction of razor burn. Also put lotion on afterwards preferebly one with aloe in it.

As far as hiding your clothes in the spare tire compartment, I would not suggest this. Your clothes will get wrinkled and they will smell like a tire.

Love,

Hi Toro,

If the spare tire compartment is the only place that you can hide clothes, may I suggest getting one of those large zip-lock bags for clothes storage. It should keep the tire smell out.

Sorrry can't help with shaving questions. Some more ladies will be along soon with their ideas.

Love, Kat

Thanks for the help everyone. I truly appreciate it, and I wish I could give everyone on this forum a big hug. I had my worries, however that if I shaved my belly /chest and areas besides my underarms and legs it would be a bit of a hassle, considering it is more of a wide area and the hair tends to grow back with rough edges. Any other ideas? Thanks in advanced.

A men's razor will be fine. The only difference is the shape of the guards and the strength of the blades. Men's blades are designed to stay sharp longer with coarser hair, and they do not have the same guards so that they can easily be used on the face.

I would recommend a beard trimmer. Start with that. A beard trimmer will just cut through any hair you hair, and you won't have to waste blades shaving and re-shaving to deforest your skin. The trimmer will do that for you. The trimmer will not get as close of a shave as a razor, but from a few feet away, it will appear to be shaved. You can progress to shaving various areas after you have done the initial deforestation with the trimmer. Essentially, the trimmer will help give you the feel of being shaved without having to shave as much. A few days after shaving you will start to get prickly and the skin may become irritated. This usually doesn't happen with the trimmer. Usually, you will only need to use the trimmer once or twice a week to get the same look. After you've trimmed everything, you can begin to shave one spot. After you're comfortable there, move on to another spot.

+1000!!!!!!!!!!!! I used a electric hair clippers on my first pass on underarms and legs and it made all the difference for this otherwise furry sister. I used to have a car that when it poured rain, water would settle in the spare tire compartment, and that would ruin your clothes for sure - take good care of your femme things, sug.

As others mentioned, I definitely wouldn't use the spare tire area. Too smelly! If you're looking to hide items that are bulky, that may be difficult unless you have a plastic tub hidden in the attic somewhere, but would likely be difficult to access. My parents used to be pretty snoopy too. Things are going to last longer if they can be in an air-conditioned place. Smaller things could be hidden in ziploc bags/other small containers either behind books on a bookshelf (if books don't go back all the way), or behind dresser drawers (take the drawer out) if there's room. You could be as risky to hide something under their mattress. It would be the last place they look. Maybe those are options for you? It may be good to think of a backup plan about where it's all going to go in case someone comes home early and you have it out too.

I've found Nair to be much more convenient than shaving. It's quicker and safer, and leaves your skin perfectly smooth.

Thank you both so much.

Similarly, I use veet. In the past I've used the regular cream but it has an awfully distinctive scent and I find it quite rough on skin. I've recently swapped to the "shower" version. It took two goes the first time, but it is quite quick and easy. No irritation and even if I don't maintain it it seems to grow back soft and relatively unobtrusive.

I have a large Stanley toolbox with a padlock on it. Works well for me as I can pack it and move it between home/college without it looking suspicious; especially since I have an identical one for photography equipment. They usually have trays and compartments in various configurations that are handy for make up and jewellery. Wouldn't look out of place in the boot of your car either. Just don't use a dirty old one!

i am truely amazed at the information that i am finding on this site. I was going to post a question about shaving and then i trolled the forums and sure enough someone had already beat me to the question. After reaading all of the posts, i decided time to try. It seemed like it took forever using both Veet and a good razor, But in the end i did not even butcher my self up. I am kinda impressed.

But please tell me that if i maintain my legs, arms and chest that i will not spend another hour in the tub trying to shave again. Hopefully the touch up's will not take long.....

Again thanks for all the information, Might even post those newly shaved legs

oh dear, PLEASE don't let him see this.

I use Nicks razor all the time. His is better than mine. Use a sugar or salt scrub right before as well. It makes your hairs stand up so the shave is extra close and super smooth. :-) + it moisturizes at the same time. :-)

[Guest Jennifer Grace]

and here are those wonderful shaved legs.

[Guest Wendae]

After many years I got the nerve to shave the whole bod. I used an old Gillette and dry shaved my arms. Looks like I Stuck my arms in a thorn bush. Used men's Nair on legs with good results. Had to touch up a bit. Nair on chest only got some and had to resort to razor.

There is nothing more erotic than nylon(or latex) on a smooth bod.

My wife of 45 years and not a fan of CDing has yet to comment and has got me on edge.I'm waiting for the hammer to fall.

It's been a week and it started to prickel on arms and chest the next day. Tomorrow I'll try a different Nair and razor.

[Guest chngnwnd]

I just need to add a note of caution with products like veet and nair - some people are sensitive to it. I can't use it - tried it once - left it on less than 2 minutes (far less than the time indicated on the package) - and got painful chemical burns on my thighs. I was completely stunned since I have used facial delapitories in the past with no reaction - so be careful with the chemicals, they aren't for everyone...
