Smooth Forever

[Sally Stone]

Eight years ago, when I finally decided I wanted smooth legs everyday, the decision didn't come without controversy.  For many years previously my loving and supportive wife had always indulged my desire to shave my legs for infrequent special occasions, but when I decided I was done with leg hair for good,  it was a bridge too far for her .  Today, however, she has learned to live with my decision, although I know she would prefer otherwise.  

 

As for me, I have never regretted the decision and I do not miss having hair on my legs.  I couldn't imagine ever going back.  When I first started shaving regularly, it was necessary to shave every day to avoid nubs (the 70's word for leg hair stubble).  Now, however, I can go 4 or 5 days without shaving yet the nubs are barely noticeable.  I don't know if the slower growth is because of my age or for some other reason, but I'm not disappointed.  If I'm in a hurry or just feeling lazy, it's nice to know I can get by without shaving for a day or two.  

 

My wife is convinced that shaving my legs has always been tied to my desire look and feel feminine.  Honestly, I wouldn't deny it was my original motivation.  Today, though, shaving is as much a part of my normal hygiene routine as anything else and yes, it does make my legs look nicer when I'm wearing women's attire, but there is much more to it.  Mostly, I like the way my legs look and feel when they are smooth and even when I'm not presenting feminine, I couldn't imagine having hairy legs.  

 

Ever since I began going hairless, I have never felt a need to hide my legs from view.  In the warmer months I wear shorts showing off my legs to the world.  In all that time, not a single person, not even those close to me, have ever asked about my hairless legs.  And honestly, I wouldn't expect them to.  It's a private, personal choice, a hygiene decision that really isn't any else's business.  The bottom line is I love having hair free, smooth legs, whether I'm wearing boy shorts or a woman's skirt.  Who would have thought shaving one's legs could be so liberating?

I decided to shave everything a few weeks ago. I can’t imagine it growing back. Shudder! What sort of razor do you use?

@Sally Stone-- what a wonderful way you have of describing this!

 

I, too, have stayed smooth for several years now, and it's simply a part of my hygiene as well.  I feel better!  The other angle that I like, now that I'm 15 months into estradiol patches, is how my much softer my skin is.  As a bonus, body hair grows back slower, and it's starting to trend towards vellum rather than "regular" hair.  So, yay! ?

 

Best,

Me either, Sally❣️  Shaving my legs was one of the very first self-affirmation steps I ever took.  My wife was a bit shocked the first time also, but now she is used to seeing me in the shower shaving.
With my home IPL I only need to shave about once a week now (and even then its a bit thin)... but I don't mind the act of shaving (maybe as most women might see it as a chore). Its been about 4 years now since I first shaved but every time feels almost like the first time.
Congratulations on your anniversary ❤️

@AgnesBardsie I use the Schick Hydro 5.  It provides a very smooth shave without having to apply any pressure so its almost totally eliminated nicks and cuts.  Some people say they have problems with ingrowns with this type blade but I haven't really experienced that.

@Sally StoneI so relate to this. For a long time I didn't consider that I had any form of Gender Dysphoria. I don't get upset looking at my male body, but after I epilated my legs for the first time I thought this was so right and I will never go back to being hairy. Apart from head hair and eyebrows, I am always looking for and trying to eradicate other hair on my body and I hate seeing it on me. So I can only conclude that I do have an element of Dysphoria - whether it is gender specific I am unsure.

 

I use an epilator on both my legs and arms, and seem to get a perverse pleasure out of the pain. It's sort of affirmatory - that this is something a woman experiences so it must be right. I do shave other areas such as my stomach and back, but stopped getting hairs on my chest about 12 years ago when (still in male only mode) I used an epilator over an extended period to remove chest hair as I used to get extreme skin irritation in that area when I would sweat. When the hair went, the irritation went as well.

I’ve been shaving my legs for almost 20 years. I’m a cyclist, so I’m always around other men with smooth legs. There’s nothing like fresh laundered sheets and silky smooth legs.

Thankfully I've been blessed with being a Asian transgender Female, and I've been blessed with being predominately smooth all over. I have no hair really anywhere on my body. I do grow facial hair. Unfortunately that is changing as I feel like my Testosterone levels raise. I'm not on Blockers or HRT yet.
