If it helps many of the natal women I have known don't shave in winter except for dates or special occasions. With t-girls I think shaving legs gets caught up in body image and dysphoria issues.

As far as how natal women think did you ever hear the song "Did I Shave My Legs Tor This?" . It was a hit. And reflected the attitude that most women have toward shaving legs-a necessary evil to be postoned as long as possible whenever possible.

Hmmmm I'm not sure I could go all winter without shaving my legs LOL, I mean I understand what your saying, but to me thats just a thing I've always done since I was 16, so Oh well guess its something I'll just deal with

I have heard shaving your legs after a hot shower softens the hairs. It is ment to be easier to do and feels nicer. I'm going to try it.

Wax or epilate. I shaved my legs for 2 years+ and not once was I ever satisfied with the results. Only a matter of a few hours and I felt prickly again. Now I have an epilator, it only cost me 40 bucks, and my legs stay smooth for approximately a week everywhere, more in certain areas. It hurts, for sure, but I found it far less unpleasant than what I went through daily shaving when you consider I only have to do it once a week or less, and there are fewer hairs to deal with the second time around so it's much easier.

I never could get the hang of doing my own waxing,, but where it did work, it worked well, so it might work for you.

I tried an epilator briefly. It worked well on my arms and lower legs but when I got to the more tender areas of my upper legs, it was brutal. It left me feeling like a plucked chicken. Eventually with the use of estrogen the amount of hair everywhere except on my face just stopped growing. Unfortunately, because I'm epileptic, I can't get electrolysis. But I can go a couple of days without shaving before I becomes noticeable.

i just use shower cream with a good razor blade like gillette mach 3 and get an amazing smooth finish i then moisturise afterwards to stop hair spots forming.
