I just use a cheap razor myself

Cheap razor? I use hubby's three bladed malarky (don't have so many cuts now)- he always tells me off

Ooo men hate that don't they!

Mine just finds it funny, thankfully (given that they cost an arm and leg) (or would do, if he hadn't used it first )

Oh I used to get a right telling off, brang him out in a rash apparently and that's how he knew I'd been using it.

I just wear long skirts all the time so I only shave my legs when I can be bothered. I have got one of those super snazzy three bladed jobbies of my very own. Because I'm worth it!

My husband the same he said his face came out with a rash too when i used his Gillet razor and he threw it in the bin I never let on it was me who been useing it i think he will know now though as i've owned up on here.

Ah, now there's a question for the Intelligent Design lot! Why do women grow hairs on their legs?

Also: why do men have nipples, what are eyebrows for, why do why have to sleep, wear clothes and what use are toenails?

I hate shaved legs - they have to be done so frequently, and the stubble is awful. I epilate and pluck, but am happy to have some hairs there.

Eyebrows are for keeping the sweat out of your eyes, of course! And toenails protect your toe from damage.

Hairs on legs are a no no as i don't want to become a hedgehog over night just wax and there silky smooth for 2 months better still bleach those hairs so they don't show.

How on earth do you manage 2 months silkiness after waxing

The best I've acheived is 2 or 3 days, followed by 2 to 3 weeks of growing them so they're long enough to be waxed again. Not the most effective method I've found, but then, everyone's different.

Yes it sounds great does'nt it! two weeks of silky, hair free legs. Every day I have to shave, although that's using my cheap razor as mentioned before. Maybe I should think about upgrading my razor or changing method. Waxing is too painful for me though

Don't you use cream after waxing ? i use apricot scrub on my legs before wax them and and cream my legs everyday besides i'm on medication That help the hairs not grow back.

Gimme.

This thread has made me feel old as the my hairs have given up growing. Could it be that I always wear trousers or that my legs are so fat the hairs can never grow long enough to show?

Probably the trouser thing, sands your legs smooth!

Good point eloisa.

I thought so.

It's the big 30 for me this year and the family have planned a fancy dress costume party that i must go to, hey what if i don't want to that must be sign i want to have a quiet birthday with mr hearts whats the big deal over it

Ooh, but there might be jelly and icecream, and pass the parcel. How exciting! Don't be a party pooper, you can have a quiet night in anytime. The thing that really makes you feel old is stagnation. Go out, have a ball, have a drink or three for me.
