Should I Shave My Legs?

Katie,

I have been shaving my legs on and off  since I was a teenager. Currently, I have kept my legs shaved for the past 3 years without break.  I do not have any issues with shaven legs when presenting as a man.

Hi Katie same as MacKenzie ive shaved my legs for 25 plus years probably 95% does not grow back anymore and yes it feels really nice in a pair of nylons or pantyhose I kinda like the nylons with garter belt looks really sexy and yes very woman like I was never much for shorts so they were allways covered any way good luck in your choice but you have to at least try it once and see how wonderful it feels thanks

Try it once Katie.See what you think. Different people use different methods, experiment if you want, shaving,waxing,epilating etc, yes for some there are problems, itching,in growing hairs etc. For me it’s exfoliate then we’re shave, then moisturise. Do it more in the Summer when the legs are on show. Have even put on some fake tan. Think they look so much better shaved.

Then it’s up to you if you want to do it again, or regularly, or just for special occasions/when they are on show.

Good luck, have fun.

Yes. It feels so good to have smooth legs I love having them shaved

Well, its' such a personal choice, but I went through a similar dillema last year. Finally, I gave in and have never gone back. I find I shave every week or so, and there is no troublesome stubble to worry about. I have never had particularly hairy legs, so that of course helps.

The feeling of nice smooth legs is amazing, and something that I'll want to keep doing!

Whether or not you should shave your legs is up to you, Katie.  I shave mine and enjoy the feeling of my smooth skin.  Your legs will feel itchy and you will get stubble as the hair grows back.  To prevent that, you have to keep shaving.  I have to shave mine about every third day to keep them smooth and itch free.

Hiding your shaved legs while in guy mode is also something you'll have to decide whether or not to do.  If someone sees you one day with hairy legs and the next with them shaved, they will probably notice.  However, people who rarely see your bare legs may not notice if they are shaved or not.  A friend of mine commented once while we discussed this same subject that people are not as observant as you think they are.  I believe that is true.

Katie - it feels exquisite!  It's an amazing thing the first time just seeing your legs smooth and silky.  And the feeling!  Especially if you shave all the way up.  Having a dress or skirt on, and a nice pair of heels, and doing your best walk, feeling your upper thighs just touching that smooth skin!  Yes, you'll love it.

Shaving your legs shouldn't really be just a one time thing. It is something you need to keep on top of or youll enter the world of stubble (it's not a fun world). Also if you don't already have a skin care regime you need to get one as it will dry you skin out.

i vote for yes!
On and off shaver-of-legs for 20+ years, for a while I was just using clippers so short but not smooth (visually kinda works but also less hassle imho)
it feels amazing tho so I’ve started with the razor again this week. if you need cover in boy mode take up some sport; I’ve been a keen but non competitive cyclists for years and no-one has made any disparaging comments.

Yes, you should shave your legs.  Don't use shaving foam initialy, there are shaving creams for men that won't rip chunks of flesh from your legs.  Maintain your new silky glory by using baby oil as a shaving lubricant before a shower or better still when in the bath.

My mind goes to an old commercial, try it youll like it.

AS for others noticing, most people are so absorbed in their own world they wont notice or care.  Other forums on CDH suggested you could say you are trying shaving your legs for swimming,biking or doctors orders (or suggestion to try ).

Since I manage my dressing by only dressing once a month or so I "trim" my legs most of the time to about 1/4" because it's a drag to go from full bush to none. And when I do have my femme days going smooth is part of making the day a more special event.

Moisturize and exfoliate the day before. Use a female razor in the tub with a soapy, oil-based bath oil. The first night use a baby poweder on your new skin before bed.

Katie - wife asked about it.  I just told her I wanted to see what it felt like, and I loved it!  She thinks it's a bit weird, but I've always been that, so she's OK, just don't let them get stickery!  (Guess that's not a word - my spell checker is kicking in!)  Mikey

Hi Katie, I'm one of those lucky people who hardly have any hair on my legs (nor anywhere else on my body except the top of my head where I have long flowing locks). Never have. I have the occasional dark hair pop up now again on my shins and some peach fuzz around my knees. I shave my legs once every 4 to 6 weeks just to catch those pesky stragglers.
On the topic of shaving in the tub; be careful. My daughter used to shave in the tub until one time when a tiny piece of cut hair went somewhere it wasn't supposed to go and she got a nasty infection that lasted over a week.
Since I need to shave so infrequently, I don't have any special shaving foams. I just lather up some bath gel (cheap like borscht, free bottles from most hotels) and use a very sharp blade. And like everyone says, the feeling of smooth skin afterwards is divine. Almost wish I needed to shave more often to get that feeling - nah, I'm happy not having to. Oh, and no problem in male mode. My family & friends all know I don't have much body hair, so it has never come up.
All the Best,
Hugs, Krista
