All the time I’ve been crossdressing I’ve always wanted to shave my legs but never been brave enough. Looking for some motivation so what are the positives to shaving my legs?
The smoothness feels heavenly and feminine! ❤
I’ve only ever dreamed of it, it must feel nice when wear certain clothes and in the wind. Just wish I was brave enough to do it
I only shave during winter, love the feel. Be brave and give shaving a try, nose to toes.

I might do the same as you then Lynda make myself hairless to see what it’s like. Then know one will know that I’ve shaved
thank you 😊
One definite benefit is if you're a girl that loves to wear nylons or pantyhose a hundred times better when you slip them on your smooth silky legs 💋
Nothing beats the feeling of smooth legs. I started shaving at the begining and now have them waxed every few months. Perfect for nice Stockings.
I am almost hairless from the neck down now. I just hated my body hair, especially as I got older and it grew in places I definitely didn't want it, and some was going white in clumps, not evenly, so off it all came, a stage at a time. And then the questions from my wife started ... I gave these as reasons to start, and then I came out to her later. Started with a body groomer, then depilator, then shaving, and now epilate. It is a bother, you need to constantly exfoliate and moisturise to prevent ingrowing hairs. It is a lot of work being a woman. ... but it is worth it
When you keep your legs shaved you can feel the slightest breeze against your skin and when your skirt moves and touches your legs when walking there is no feeling like that and when slipping into stockings it is just blissful. I like the ritual of shaving my legs then using a good moisturizer afterwards. I keep my legs shaved for those reasons and one more. I had a right knee replacement 2 years ago and a nerve was either cut or damages so when the hair on the front of my leg grows it starts to itch under the skin to the point I scratch till it almost bleeds. So to keep that feeling away I shave my legs. Plus men with shaved legs is so common now no one notices much less cares that you shave your legs. So get a new razor, lather up those pins and get rid of that hair, you will never go back to furry legs.

I started shaving my legs regularly this year. Ironically, COVID is the perfect time to try this out as you won't be in situations where lots of people might see your shaved legs while in drab. I just ensure I wear pants when I go out shopping or other appointments when necessary.
As lot of folks already said, it is a really amazing feeling. It is hard to describe how differently it feels. You get a lot of sensation from your hair and when it's gone, it's just different. Also, that smooth silky feeling just can't be beat.
I shave from big toe to hip and it took me about a half-dozen attempts to really get an idea how to get a close shave. Your leg hair grows in all sorts of directions, not just down, and it's important to get an understanding of that to get a close shave. I shave using the same stuff I use on my face. I have a dedicated razor, but it's the same model as my normal one so I can share blades. I also replace my blade weekly regardless of how many times I shaved that week (usually only once or twice).
Also, it takes time. It easily adds 20 minutes or more to my shower. And it helps to have a shower bench or stool.
Finally, you need to exfoliate and moisturize afterwards. This helps keep your skin stay healthy, it gives them that super silky feel, but more practically helps reduce ingrown hairs. I use a raw sugar scrub that feels and smells great.
I am getting my legs waxed for the first time in two weeks. It may be crazy painful, but I want to try it so I know.
I've read that some people on the site use epilators. I've watched several YouTube videos on the best ways to shave and every woman talks about how painful it is and after using it once, never again. Given how popular they are, they probably work for some, but given my pain tolerance compared to a typical woman, I'm unwilling to give it a try.
I also picked up a Phillips women's electric razor to use for touch ups. It works fine but doesn't come close to the smoothness of a razor.
Give it a try!
I struggled with this one as well. At the time I was married with a very untrusting and critical wife. Long story short - just shave your entire body - back, chest... everything. It doesn’t make sense to just “manscape” your back and nothing else right? Why do your chest and back and only have hairy legs (like a centaur :-)) “Just do it all or nothing at all” .... and that’s how I got her to buy it.
As for everyone else - just wear what you want, they’ll adapt and you’ll get used to having nice bare legs in public in time (it took me a few weeks) - kisses, Aimee
This was one of my earliest dilemmas, as I have almost no upper body hair, but quite hairy legs, which will be as dark and long as I'll let them. Due to the secret, it took me a while to conclude that shaving was the only answer. I kept trying to work around it with thick tights, etc, but eventually came around that there was no other way than to reduce the hair somehow.
So long story short I ended up buying a small clipper with an attachment, so that it coulde be trimmed down, but not to the skin. Even though the coverage I have is pretty dense, with hair 1/4 to 1/2 inch, I can wear 12-15 denier hosiery without it showing through unless you are up close and staring. The key was to get it short enough that the hairs don't gather up, and the pantyhose will do the rest. It got me to where I needed to be to see what I was hoping for in the mirror or in pictures.
I'd love to try a full shave as that sounds exquisite but there is no way to do that without having to have a conversation about it.
And on that note, there is enough hair remaining for it to be passable in drab, and not conspicuously bare or too short which depending on your situation could be important. My wife noticed soon after that my hair wasn't as 'there', but since she didn't know at the time that I was dressing it was important that there was enough of it left to talk my way through it. She still comments on it once in a blue moon, but doesn't seem to have linked it to my dressing which she does know about.
So this is an odd coincidence. I actually just shaved my legs too, last week. I think that I have come to realize a few things. Most people either don't notice, don't care, or don't speak up. I mean, how often do people actually check out a guy's legs to see if they're shaved and not just lightly colored hair, plus there's a million reasons to shave one's legs. Swimming, personal preference, some surgeries and such can also call for a smooth surface.
Ultimately smooth, shaven legs are a personal preference. You like how the look, feel, or both. They can also help with passing if you are concerned with that as women tend to have less hairier legs than men. If you're not feeling up for it or are worried, wait till Winter where you'll wear pants 24/7. There's no rush.
It's easier to list the negative - having to shave or epilate, lol!
There's nothing like the feeling and confidence of freshly shaved and lightly moisturised limbs.
They're what women's clothing is designed to cover, and the combination is delightfully feminine to the point that you forget about your masculine side entirely.
At least, that's my experience!

I've been shaving mine for 20+ years. My wife doesn't know, As far as she knows I just never have had hair on my legs. Seems no one else notices either (except my sister in law, she always comments on how nice my legs and nails always look).
