I don't shave my legs as often as I'd like to because I get razor burn REALLY bad.... The only thing that helped me was "Coochy" shaving lotion. You can get it in adult stores, online and from a couple of the pleasure party vendors (Pure Romance, for example). It's not 100% cured, but it's definitely better than it would be otherwise.

I rarely have to shave my underarms and bikini area now. I'm having those areas lasered and it's working!

I should shave my legs every day...dark, course hair!! But in the summer it's usually every other day and then in the winter, it's once a week, maybe twice. I just wish I didn't have to at all. I use "Skintimate" shaving gel for my legs and underarms. I get it at Wal Mart. Never had any skin problems from using it.

I'm kind of a hairy Italian so I have to shave everyday. In the winter though I'll skip a day.

I'm bad. I shave my legs every couple of weeks, but I don't wear shorts often, when I do, of course I shave. I wear dresses on Sunday, but they are usually long with black hose, so nothing shows. I'm just always rushing in the shower and don't have time to do every day. In the summer, I shave bikini area even thought I wear shorts with my swim suit. Wouldn't want my shorts to float up while we are tubing and gross anyone out. My husband appreciates it when I shave, but it's really not a big deal with him. Underarms I shave most every day, can't stand hair there.

I have bumps when I shave bikini area for the first couple of days the first time of the season, after that, no bumps, but will definitely try the hydrocortozone.

In summer I shave everything once a week in a bath & run a razor over my leg once or twice during the week so I don't gross anyone out at softball. My hair on my legs isn't too bad it's thin, blond, soft & patchie so I can get away with once a week or less.

In the winter I only shave when I decide I'm gonna wear my super low rise jeans or my hubby comments about me being a saquash (usually once a month).

I only shave my pits when he comments also.

P.S. My hubby shaves my down there area for me. He's awesome at it. Since I've been letting him I've had no more problems with razor burn. I guess that area is more akin to their face then to our legs.

That "Skintimate" shave gel I use works really nice and makes my legs soft. It starts as a gel and then suds all up nice and cremey. I get it at Wal Mart. Of course Wal Mart is about the only store we have so I get most everything there unless I go out of town.

LMAO...these comments are cracking me up!

I hardly shave the pits because I rarely get hair there...don't know why. I shave my legs a couple times a week, mainly because I tend to wear pants a lot to work. I don't have to worry about the bikini area...at least not anymore I went to Monarch Med Spa which used to be Sona Med Spa to have it lasered

Yes, it hurts but it's so worth it! It leaves it so smooth and they even use hydrocortizone cream down there for irritation so I hope you got some!!! Some people wonder why I want to look like a 12 year old girl down there, well I just HATE hair and especially down there...plus I don't want to worry about trying to shave down there when I am pregnant!
