electric razors are amazing for intimate areas and trimming the bulk of the hairs for sure. i always go over my legs once with it before using a razor, and I don’t use the razor on sensitive places

it takes a few goes to stop getting the strawberry legs, keep at it and itll be okay :) make sure to use hot water and moisturize after, lotion helps a ton early on

now I’m able to just hit it with my razor and electric shaver but I also used shaving cream too before I got used to it so that’s worth a try!

Yesssss. Smooth is the absolute best.

Shaving chest and legs can be difficult, couple bits of advice: trim your hair down first with clippers, use a new high quality razor, shave in the shower, take your time, and moisturize afterwards. You’re going to love it!

Girl, I swear smooth legs are the best!

I use magic shaving powder.

Exfoliate the legs, I do a quick wipe with salicylic acid wipes (it tends to make my hairs stand out from the skin more) and mix the powder with water, slather it on with a small brush I picked up last time my spouse wanted their hair done, and just waited the 5ish minutes standing in the tub. Sensitive areas can sting a little if you leave it on too long, but so far I have yet to damage anything. Just keep away from any wounds, sores, scabs, etc.

It’s fantastic though because I don’t have to worry about cutting open the girls and when I wipe off after 5 minutes the feeling of smoothness down there is divine. It’s also great because I like to tuck, and use tape on special occasions like when I want to wear leggings around my living space. Smoothness means nothing is shifting around.

Sadly I get bad ingrown hairs every so often, and this past week was particularly bad. I hate the prickly feeling 😭

I’ve got one of those shavers that just plucks the hair I’m going to try when the hair gets long enough, hopefully tomorrow if I’m lucky.

My facial hair has always been slow to grow and sparse, and the rest of my torso is pretty hairless already minus some small thin spots, so I’m mainly getting arms, legs, pits, and intimates.

If you don’t need a totally smooth shave but you want it closer than an electric razor you can reduce irritation a lot by going in the same direction as hair growth instead of against. This won’t be as close of a shave as going against the growth, but it will prevent itching and ingrown hairs for the most part.

For days where you want ultra smooth I agree with someone else’s comment that it helps to use salicylic acid on the area first (I use the T-sal shampoo for this), use moisturizer after, and pick cotton underwear that isn’t too tight around the legs.

Edit for legs: Try sitting down and resting your leg on something (like the side of the tub) so that your leg is completely relaxed while you’re shaving it. I find relaxing it first (vs. shaving standing in the shower and similar where your leg is tensed) helps reduce razor irritation significantly.
