I have shaved my legs twice since I started cross dressing late last year and while I love the feeling of smooth legs, I really can't be arsed to use a wet razor on a regular basis; it's a mess and takes far too long. I have been toying with idea of getting a Ladyshave electric job but having testosterone-fuelled hair quality, I wonder if they are up to the job. Female hair is soft and fine whereas mine rivals a gorilla's armpit. If any of you ladies use electric devices on your legs, do you use female-designed shavers or full-on men's beard shavers.
I should note here that I have no wish to try epilators or use hair removal cream, just a shaver.
I've only been shaving my legs for a few weeks...but I have been using an electric (face) razor on my legs (dry) - seems to work rather well. Note that I don't have a lot of hair on my legs and I can still feel the tiniest bit of stubble but it doesn't snag my nylons.
While I do generally prefer to use a we razor to shave my legs, (something that I have been doing since my teenage wannabe years), I can share from experience is that the hair on my legs has gotten finer an softer over time with regular shaving. That being said, I will do occassionally use a women's electric shaver to shave my legs when I do not have the time to use wet razor. I have learned that I must be patience with my electric razor to avoid razor burn, which is something with which I do not deal when using a wet razor.

I am in my 70s. Still have a little fine hair left on my legs and some dark hair that grows out of my knees.
I use a ladies electric shaver (dry), and it works out very well for me. The legs come out perfectly smooth. There is a little stubble left at the knees, but it does not damage pantyhose, even very sheer pantyhose.
My legs will stay smooth for weeks, but the knees require attention again about every two or three weeks.
Hi
I know it’s everyone’s favourite way but I did use an epilator a few times and yes first time it did sting, but the hairs didn’t grow back that fast, second time was better and some of the hairs didn’t grow back whilst others were a lot finer, cut a long story short now I have no hairs and they don’t grow , really pleasing

getting a waxing is the best but have used electric shavers which do work well but I love the sensation of using a wet razor in the tub and afterwards a nice body cream.Doing it often like weekly is the key
I never had much luck with electric razors(mens), the times I have tried them. I shaved for years, and just did it in the shower...you get pretty quick with practice. I now get waxed every 4-5 weeks.
One thing that I learned early on was that taking a razor to rather long body hair really took time to get it done. The answer to that was to use an electric barber hair clipper first to cut down the size of the hair and then use a razor in the shower if doing it that way.
I agree though with the other ladies that an epilator is the way to go. Here again if you have long body hair cut it short first with a hair clipper and then use the epilator. I have found that it works best with the shorter hairs.
I have used an epilator for 4yr, now one a month clean up and I am good.
Well I've settled on a Remington ladyshave razor as it is the most convenient. It doesn't make the legs absolutely smooth but it is close enough. I use my man's facial razor on my knees though as the hair there seems to be made of steel. I looked closely at all the hair removal creams but all the talk of burning sensations, basically a chemical attack, turned me right off. I'm sure creams work well for some people but with skin as old as mine, I'm not taking any risks. I don't want even to pluck my eyebrows so there is no way I'm going to use an epilator to wrench out all the hairs on my legs, no matter that the pain wears off after a while -- and I'm someone who has had a prostate biopsy so it's not as if I couldn't take it, but if I can avoid the pain, I will.
A shaver is quick and convenient, it's the way to go for me.
All I need now is the sun to come out so I can get a tan on my legs.
I just use triple blade razor heads, on all parts of me. And sensitive area shave gel to reduce razor burn (like Bikini Zone).
