First I shaved the upper leg, then I shaved the upper leg and used a #2 on the lower leg, then I just started rotary epilating the entire leg. I followed the exact pattern as the others here. I will add, though, I have very muscular legs, so they do not look “feminine” shaved.įunny how I read this thread and can relate to it. That surprised me a lot at first, but now I see that women, especially younger women ,love how they look.

Almost invariably, if I go buy shorts and try them on, the female sales help will comment on my legs, positively I will add. I get such positive comments on them I should have done it long ago. Basically, I hate leg hair, and just had to work up the nerve to shave my legs altogether. If you leave it longer, you will feel better, and look better than you do now, and maybe that is OK for you. Plus, it doesn’t look very natural, so you might as well bite the bullet and get a nice smooth shave. The short hair is very stiff, and feels rough and prickly, like long stubble. The problem with trimming it short, is while it looks OK, it feels horrible. I used to use a beard trimmer with an adjustable guide, and did it shorter and shorter until I finally just shaved it altogether. Don’t think I am ready for laser - I hear too many mixed opinions on the technologies but I am going to see a dermatalogist or two to see what they think. How frequently do guys generally shave the legs? For me, once every month would be great. Any thoughts on post-shave gels/lotions that could help? Is this the method generally used or does it even matter? Also, post-shave, I hear people using Aloe Vera Gel to eliminate itching. I trimmed in an upwards fashion and ended up getting the hair pretty short and even. I think its only a matter of time before I just trim it all, but its a decent start given that I have to put up with family in the summer. It appears that the hair covered my legs to such a degree that they are a little on the light side. Also, I tan fairly easy so I am eagerly awaiting the sunshine to see what I can do.

I’ve been working out my legs for a couple of years now and I can finally see some of the definition. I figured I would live up to my name and ended up trying the #2 - it worked very well.
