I am baby smooth......

[MarinaKirax]

I am baby smooth from my hips to my toes. I started shaving about 3 weeks ago, after a period of gradual thinning, so I'm not quite sure if my wife just hasn't noticed the difference (I don't have a lot of hair on me anyway) or she has noticed and isn't mentioning it.

Anyway, I've found I need to shave about every 3 days or so or I get stubble, which feels.... just not smooth. So I say to myself, what's the point in having legs that LOOK shaved, if they don't FEEL shaved? so I re-shave. MY question is whether or not you get used to the silky smoothness very quickly. Frankly, after 3 or 4 weeks of baby smooth gams, I don't notice it during the day as much. it feels ... well.... normal. I wouldn't want to go back to hair, but I will in the summer, and I bet when I do it will feel.... normal.
I'm totally surprised by how I took the smoothness for granted, so fast. Anyone else feel the same way?

[kimdl93]

It does get to feel normal...not something you think about unless you let it get all stubbly....ick!

[danielleinbr]

Once I started keeping myself smooth I got used to it being my normal state. Not being smooth is something that feels completely foreign and unnatural to me. I just dont like it, lol

It dose get to feel normal after awhile. That dosen't mean it feels normal like hairy dose. Kinda like a blind person being able to see. Blindness was normal to them and after a while of seeing it becomes normal to them. Dosen't mean the gift of sight isn't a wonderful thing, just like having a silky smooth body is a wonderful thing.

Marina, you need to get an epilator. This will eliminate the stubble and you will fall in love with the results. Go for it girl. :D

[AimeeG]

I've shaved below the belt consistently for over 14 years, not shaving is strange. I've only gone past a week without if I was getting waxed.

[Valerie Sparks]

Over the years I've slowly started shaving more and more. At this point it's only my forearms that I don't shave regularly. And I have a regular regime: Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday it's legs, upper arms, and armpits. Wednesdays and Saturdays it's chest and belly. I alternate by day using a straight or electric razor on my face.

Of course, that's only in the colder months. When warm weather comes I have to let the legs and part of the torso grow out because my wife doesn't like me shaving. But as soon as I can hide it all again, the hair comes off.

BTW, Marina, I really like your look in your avatar.

[Roseanne]

Smooth is the only way to be. I have been smooth from the waist down for years now. Couldn't think what it would be like to be hairy again ( insert sad face)

I shave every second day and feel yucky when I don't. Summer winter all the time. Last summer in an eye clinic waiting room at the hospital I noticed several men in shorts, over 50 with wives in tow and clean shaven legs. It doesn't matter anymore, havn't been in the pool yet though.

Marina, I have only been shaving for a few weeks since coming out, but I am enthralled with it. I have to shave every day or I feel the stubble. Haven't tried Nair or other depilatories because I am worried about a reaction. Not so committed that I will buy/use an epilator, because my wife expects me to regrow my leg hair in warmer weather so I don't want to do anything lasting (actually I do want, but won't, out of love and respect for her).

I'm just so loving the smooth feeling. Whether putting on a pair of hose, or under the covers with my wife, or just touching my legs--I don't want it to end. I had some mild Keratosis Pilaris on the upper thighs when I started shaving, but after determined exfoliation and some cocoa butter oil, they look and feel wonderful.

My wife has definitely noticed. I made a point to shave in front of her to establish this as normal activity. She shakes her head but I can tell she enjoys it between the sheets. My coming out to her has emboldened her to reveal some kinky desires herself. I won't go into details, but one of them is watching internet porn together. She noticed almost right away how the male stars are mostly entirely hair free and asked if they shave. I told her they probably use a depilatory and she hinted that she may want to see my entire body hair free at some point. Never tried it, but from other members' comments the smooth feeling lasts for 2 or 3 days with a depilatory, so I definitely want to experiment. I will let her propose/purchase it, however, as I have been pushing the envelope lately.

[SweetHailey]

I love that "just shaved" feeling enough to let it grow back out afterwords.

[Paulacder]

I see the word "NORMAL" used in the reply's, my question is what's normal? I have kept my legs shaved for many years, If I don't shave for a couple day and start getting stubbles, to me that's not normal, however for someone who just started shaving the smooth feeling isn't normal????? Whats normal?

[Cheryl T]

It certainly does become "normal" and after a while those few hairs that you see sprouting become as enemies. I know when I start to see the growth that signals my need to epilate or shave it makes me feel I'm "dirty" to some extent and just have to get clean and smooth again.

[stephNE]

Shaving does feel great. I also shave in the colder months. I usually start in September and along about the end of February I will let it grow back out for the sumer. In the transition time (no hair to hair), there is about a week it feels funny. If you wear hose with leg stubble, it sort of feels like hair keeps catching on the hose.

[VikkiDave]

It's such a wonderful feeling to be so smooth. I have used an epilator for so long that the hair that does grow (when I have been lazy) is so thin it is barely visible on my legs. However, even when dressed as a Dave I just love wearing lined trousers as the smooth lining feels so good on my bare skin. Mmm that's got me thinking it's time to wear those trousers again :0)

[Billie1]

Body hair has been a thing of the past for many years now. My leg hair comes back
so light, all I have to do is a quick swipe every week or so.

The key is to moisturize. I'll use Olay Body Ribbons right after I shave, and the
feeling of a nice pair of stockings (especially L'eggs Sheer Elegance) on
my freshly-shaved, smooth, soft legs is fantastic!
:thumbup:

[alwayshave]

I have shaved my legs in the past, but last week depilatoried the entire enchilada, legs, torso, chest, arms and arm pits. I absolutely love the feeling and have been shaving since to keep that smooth feeling. I believe I will move on to an epilator to reduce the frequency of maintenance.

The only negative, is my fiancees missing my chest hair. She always played with it and would comment on how much she loves it. I on the other hand have always hated it. I may have to compromise on this, I'm just no sure how.

[Dusty815]

I cannot grow hair on my chest or back and have very little on my legs and arms. I shave every 3-4 days and love the smoothness, I have never been able to grow facial hair that would look good, it would be in spots here and there. This makes it alot easier to be smooth all the time.

[Beverley Sims]

It seems so sad that I don't get to feel the just shaved look with my legs.
I haven't had that feel for many years.

[Carla4Guage]

You say that come the summer you will let it grow out again. WHY? If your hair is thin as you say, I'm willing to bet athat no one will notice the difference.
I shave everything earlobes on down and have for several years and yes some family members B-I-L & S-I-L noticed, but I just said I did it because it was cooler and the heat bothers me so much. Not another word was spoken about it.
By the way my wife does my back for me and has for years.

[cyndigurl45]

I have been baby smooth from my nose to my toes for years, more like most of my life.

In my 20's that was in the 80's I was big into the punk rock scene, I had a pink Mohawk that just kept getting thinner and thinner till I was completely bald and stayed that way for 6-8 months, I even did my eyebrows, talk about sensory overload. I had not a small but more of a medium sized butterfly tattooed on the back of my head along with an all seeing eyeball it's kinda creepy looking actually but unless I shave my head again or high up on my nape you can't see it.......

[Annaliese]

Why go back in the summer, I keep mine shaved year round no one say anything.

[KiwiKate]

I just shaved my legs last week for the first time in about 20 years,amazing.I don't think there is anything that makes you feel as girlish as silky smooth legs.The wife however wasn't at all impressed but that's another story.Since then I have taken to looking to see how many men have smooth legs and have noticed quite a number out and about.One day I'll probably get asked about it but I don't think it's as bigger deal as we might think.My daughter has seen my legs for the pass few days(summer here)and hasn't said a word.

[Josie]

I`m baby smooth from my neck to my toes and I don`t think I can go back for any reason!

[DonnaT]

I've been shaving for a number of years, and have never got used to the silky smoothness, it always feels great!

Especially under a long silky nightgown.

And even just going into the pool I can always feel the difference.

[Jessica Who]

Yea! I love the feeling of smooth skin and get depressed when I forget to shave for a while cuz I hate the feeling of body hair!!

[JoAnnDallas]

I started on hormones about a year ago and today almost all the hair from neck down has gone away. I guess I shave about as much as a GG does. It really feels great to have smooth legs, chest, and arms all the time. It sure cuts down on how long it takes to get dressed.

[Robyn2006]

I go back and forth these days between epilation (ouch! but worth the pain), Nair, and plain old shaving. Regardless of the method, always so wonderful to find myself once again smooth and soft, as I am tonight… Nearly impossible these days to jump over the gender fence without this chore behind me!

[Leah Lynn]

I have no intention of ever letting my fur grow back.

[Keri L]

I have been shaving my legs for two winters now. I had the hair on my chest and forearms removed by laser. I can't enjoy dressing en femme with any chest or arm hair, but I can hide the leg hair with stockings in summer.

But, I am debating whether to keep shaving my legs this summer. Has anyone had to try to explain this to anyone or had a bunch of strange stares when you are in guy mode? I do a lot of active things in summer (tennis, the pool, etc.), and I wear shorts all the time. I would love to hear some retorts that shut down any critiques or inquiries about the smooth legs!

[Angela Campbell]

I am smooth all over except for the head. I use a combination of shaving and epilating. I am a lucky one though. I had almost no hair to begin with. My arms was like peach fuzz and the legs had maybe 20 or 30 hairs. Maybe 10 on the chest. I live where it is hot and I wear shorts a lot, and no one has ever noticed, probably because there is not a lot of difference.

[Robbin_Sinclair]

!. Re: The Sensation. I echo many of the sentiments about the feeling of being smooth. I would trade a second level vice to have that all the time. It's wonderful.

2. Re: Being Afraid of being seen during the summer. You know your own communities but I really think that is over rated. I would never notice it on another person unless the person was sort of Grizzly Adams'-liked and I knew him (or it) well.

3. Re: Hot and Cold: For me, being shaved makes the often offensive heat down here more tolerable. On a recent trip to the northern Midwest, I wore panty hose for survival. Going to a family event with the John Deer plastic cap and lumberjack shirt crowd was a real trip. Being shaved is a major part of the CD experience for me.

Never had anyone question me.

If someone does question you, point out that you prefer the smooth look, it's cooler in the summer and cleaner, and you wanted the lower half to be like the top half. A smooth chest and arms along with hairy legs doesn't seem like a good picture.

[Robyn2006]

Me too!!!! Seem the general consensus here is to just dismiss queries with a simple "I just like it" or "it's cooler it the summer." But really, I know people would look and wonder… Of course, that's my problem and need to be more out with who I really am. A hard task which haunts me daily.:sad:

[DanielleT]

I have been doing full body shaves since (about) 3 years ago, when I became a woman. Being silky smooth and clean shaven feels so very good........nylons feel better, nylon panties feel better. And then, if you are brave enough, under the right kind of skirt, you can go out........sans panties..... OMG, that is out of this world, every "girl" should try that.

[Robbin_Sinclair]

In the middle of the night, I asked myself, "do I enjoy smooth legs because it reminds me of life before puberty?" Has that question been asked before on this site? xr

[Ariamythe]

All you ladies with smooth legs. Do I jealous much? Yes, yes I do. It's the first body alteration I intend to make once I tell my wife.

[AmyGaleRT]

One of the first things I did after coming out to my fiancee was to get my Venus Breeze out of storage, then clean up my legs, chest, arms, and underarms. I repeat that every few days. If my fiancee happens to come in the bathroom while I'm doing it, she'll ask, "You shaving your legs?" but then make no further comment.

Truth be told, I don't seem to have as much hair on my legs as I once did, for some reason. And I never have had very much chest hair at all, so what there was was easily dealt with. I thought someone would notice my arms, but so far they haven't.

[Ariamythe]

The weird part for me will be, my wife doesn't like shaving her legs. She prefers to go natural. She's started shaving them because I told her it was sexy, but sometimes I wonder if I just want her to shave them because I can't shave mine. Again do I jealous much? Yes, yes I do.

I wonder if she'll be weirded out at having a husband who wants to be more feminine than her.

Your body will have to get used to the loss of the body hair and after a few weeks of continued shaving and applying lotions, it will begin to feel "normal". By summer you will not want to grow it back because the smooth, silky feeling is going to override your fear of showing bare skin. There is nothing wrong with shaving, it is how you feel that counts. I look better and I feel better shaven, so I continue year -round now.
