Leg shaving- the irony of it all

[renaegee]

I really enjoy the feeling of my shaved legs against my wife's shaved legs. The only problem, due to societal concerns: I only shave in cold weather and she only shaves in warm weather. I don't complain or make suggestions about her legs in the winter since she doesn't complain or make suggestions about mine! Anybody else have a similar dilemma with a spouse or SO?

[Steph65]

LOL my SO doesn't shave in the winter at all. She loves to wear my boxers as well. I shave all the time. summer fall winter and spring. Even wear toe nail polish!!! Yes the feeling is amazing when the legs are shaved and you rub up to the SO non shaved legs!!

[Diane Taylor]

I shave my total body all year long and my SO loves it. She dislikes body hair on a man so I'm in a good situation.

[NancySue]

I, too love to rub shaved legs with my wife. Actually, she suggested it. I also enjoy wearing nylons (my first). She prefers bare legs, and doesn't like hose, but will wear thigh highs occasionally. I wear hose as often as possible. She kids me that I can't wait to put on what she can't wait to take off...lol. Works for me. 💁

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Renaegee:hugs:, That is sure different, Is there a time in Spring or Fall that you are both shaved?? ...:daydreaming:...

[rebecca_ns]

I shave my legs, arms, chest, hands, feet, and of course, my face and head. No one seems to notice, and if they do, they don't seem to care. To be honest, I really don't care if people notice or not. It makes me feel good.

[Fiona123]

I'm with Rebecca. I keep my legs in underarms shaved all the time. I really don't care if folks notice.

[Steph65]

I do have to say this and I really hate shaving it is a pain and I really wish after a certain age you lose the hair and the Balls!!! I do hate shaving especially the face. I do not mind the legs as I have hardly any hair. The face and genitals hair can go PERIOD!!! LOL

[Rachael Leigh]

I'm also a year round body shaver, to me body hair is just yucky. I enjoy shaving kinda relaxing but the face, wish that hair
would stop it already oh well.
I wear shorts in guy mode in summer and nothing is ever said

[Dana44]

I shave mine all year and really I don't have much hair on my legs anymore. But everywhere else also.

[Shely]

i guess it is contagious, I love soaking in a hot bath while shaving my legs and more. the first time i did it the feeling was WOW, this feels terrific. If you haven't felt your legs w/o hair you need to give it a try. get yourself one of those pink razors with 4-5 blades and a can of ladies foam and you will find out. I haven't been shaving for a long time, but I won't be stopping anytime soon. You will also love the feel under nice men's slacks if you ever go dressed up men style. I still like dressing up both ways.

My wife and I don't shave. We get our legs waxed. I started getting it done about 2 1/2 years ago. Didn't tell her, but made no effort to conceal it either. Some time later, while she thought I was sleeping, she ran her hand up and down my legs A LOT. I knew she was checking me out, but she said nothing and I didn't pursue the topic, as she has her own personal expression of DADT. Still later, she asked me where I was getting it done. I told her, and soon she was making appointments to get her own legs waxed, whereas she was previously trying to do it herself.

This doesn't make sense without an explanation. It's in your head, period. I'm a cyclist and at first was apprehensive about leg shaving, but you are not a true cyclist until you wear the spandex/poly uniforms, shave your legs and use fingerless gloves. A nice bike doesn't hurt either. Cyclist may slack off in shaving in winter, but first hint of spring, let's go do it now

[Diane Smith]

A previous girlfriend and I used to enjoy the feeling when both of us wore stockings (with shaved legs, of course) in bed. It became a regular part of our routine.

[Beverley Sims]

No dilemmas here, I have not needed to shave my legs for many years now.

[Nicole90]

I love running smooth legs with my girlfriend. I haven't shaved Year round, yet! I plan on it this year though. In fact I need to go shave tonight after work !

[Laura28]

I shave year round. Wife loves it and complains when I have any hair on my body.

[Cheryl T]

No dilemma here, I just shave all year long and love the feeling of being hairless and smooth.

[kimdl93]

I really don't think society gives a darn about what and when you shave. In a decade or more no one has ever commented

[Patnycd]

I shave also in the colder months, lately my SO has been noticing,nothing yet lol, it is such maintenance!

[susancheerleader]

I shave my legs regularly. I hate hairy legs. I shave EVERYTHING.
Anyway, coworkers finally noticed, after nearly a year! One commented as why I shave my legs. I inadvertently said that I shave everything. Well, next thing I know all the waitresses are flooding the kitchen asking. I just said I hate body hair. Always have ( true)
Now they accept my shaved legs (how they missed the last year I don't know) and actually comment how nice my legs are and that I have nice legs to wear the shorts I do in the hot kitchen.

[Nikki A.]

I've kept my legs shaved all winter and plan on keeping it up year round. I also started to keep my chest clean shaven (hairy boobs are just so gross in a dress) and have kept the pits shaven for a few years now. I find that I sweat a lot less, and no more odor, I still use deodorant a couple of times a week and it seems to be much more effective.

[Joyce Swindell]

My wife shaves my back for me as well as whatever else she feels like shaving at the time. I've always wanted to try waxing. We did get an epilater that pulls the hair out (2 speed...lol) and it can be pretty harsh. It is definitely better on a second run..it's hard to imagine waxing. I always wondered how anyone can shave their own back...I certainly can't reach mine..which makes me wonder if there are salons out there that will shave your back. I'm gonna Google it when I get done here.

Love this forum....just sayin

[renaegee]

I should of used a different term than "societal norm". Norm of friends and family would be more accurate. They would notice as I a very fury legs! I am not a cyclist so I can't go that route. The only time we both are hairless is if we vacation in a warm weather location during the winter, then my wife shaves. I keep shaving since I don't worry about seeing friends or relatives thousands of miles from home. Although one year at a Mexican resort, we ran into our neighbors. OMG. Now that was awkward explaining my shaved legs, LOL.

[Karen RHT]

Fwiw, I accepted the fact I prefer to have my legs, hands, arms, underarms, etc., shaved year round, even to the point where I dislike having stubble. I want everything smooth all the time. Should neighbours, family, friends, or anyone ask, I simply tell them that's my preference, and that's the way I choose to keep myself. It's my body, and if I don't want hair on it, I have the right to remove it. They don't have the right to tell me how to keep my body. It's that simple, at least to me it is.

Before I came out to my wife I started shaving (actually nairing) my extremely hairy back. My wife helped me with it. Of course I didn't stop there. I shaved my cheat and pits. She started asking me why and I told her I wanted to see what I looked like without all the fur. Then I shaved my arms and legs. For the first time in my adult life I was fur free. I didn't shave all the time, just when I was going to have a chance to dress for an extended time. Then the dam broke. She saw that I'd been on this site and I admitted I was a cross dresser and she put two and two together that when I was fur free I was cross dressing. Fast forward to today and I don' t shave anymore and wear a goatee. She said she likes my hairy body and my goatee. I can't cross dress with all this fur and have any chance of looking female but by wife is less unhappy. I have told her I' m still a cross dresser but I' m not dressing. Kind of a dadt and our relationship limps along.

[Pantiesnhose]

I keep my legs shaved most of the year. In the past I have not shaved the lower leg in the summer but this summer I am going to keep on shaving my entire legs. I also man scape year round.

[AliB]

I keep my body shaved in the winter but summer does not work as the grandkids are around. I spend the summers in shorts and in my circumstance it is best that way.

[CarolBrown]

Since I came out, I have been shaving most my body hair (I have a beard which I a man not allowed to remove). Initially choosing to wax, which after a couple of weeks I noticed a large number of ingrown hair follicles on my legs. I wasn't a huge fan of shaving previously as attempts on my legs had left me with numerous cuts, but, with a suitable women's razor and hair conditioner, I found the results far better... I too don't care what people think, I personally find I am much more comfortable without than with...

[Jolyn]

I'm getting my first body waxing tomorrow by some of the girls that work with me ,since I've come out to them ,they're choosing clothing wanting to do my makeup ,I'm being pampered ,I'm in AW can't wait to see what it feels like to have no body hair ,and slip into some nylons ,stilettos ,corset and all the dressings ,and maybe a little perfume to set it off ,and off to the city we go :daydreaming:
I know I'm going to love it ,I've never liked body hair nor men's clothing ,this will be my first time going all out ,I'm letting the girls have there way with me ....lol ,it's a stampede of butterflies in my tummy .
This forum has bin a god sin for me ,................hugs

[EnvyxD]

I've been using diploritories in the past and I just started epilating since I'm allergic to the stuff that removes the excess wax left by body waxing and so far it's great it takes a bit to get used to the pain of it since it's literally rotating tweezers but first two three times used it once a week now I'm good for 2 and a half weeks and it only takes a lil over an hour after the first time if anyone is looking for wax results and money saver than this is a good way to go!!!

[Sissy_Michelle]

Renaegee,

For some time now my wife had asked me to wait on shaving my legs. Not sure why really, I had never asked her. However I do shave or Nair my underarms, chest (every two weeks), and bikini area... Well most of my bottom (every three weeks because the hair doesn't grow back as fast and Nair can be a little harsh on certain areas).

The other day she found the picture of me when I went out to Fiamour fully dressed. At first I thought I was in trouble but when she asked me to put on the dress for her she saw why I wore two pairs of opaque tights... The first thing she said was "How come you don't shave your legs?" When I told her that she had told me not to, she helped me remove my clothes and took me to the bathroom where she said not to come out with hair on your legs...

It's been almost two months, her main concern was that people at the gym would say something. The only thing people have been telling her was that her husband has great looking legs. Now she said this to me last week and said that she was sorry for keeping me from shaving them.

I was a little nervous at first, especially at the gym, or more importantly the shower room. But no one has said anything to me nor has anyone started treating me any different. Now I am sure summertime at the pool may be different. But at this point I don't care. My legs look great and feel great.

Like most of us l don't feel complete with body hair. Until recently (about 12 months) I only shaved/removed the hair that wasn't visible leaving lower arms and legs natural. Not happy but conforming to the stereotypical image of being male. Since rearranging my mental mindset and removing the unwanted hair (except beard (too much for my wife) I have found no one notices or if they do don't comment on it. I would like to be able to purchase a product that actually reduces the hair even if hormonal as I would be able to cope with the side effects (even the emotional one's) shaving the fingers is a bit tricky and the back needs my wife's assistance utilizing the cream.
I recently had a hair cut, the first for about 3 1/2 years (other than trims) and to see about 2 1/2 feet of hair on the floor really upset and still upsets me. On the plus side I'm not sitting on it and pulling on it constantly it is cooler and now I don't have to deal with long cutting hairs that used to always find themselves around the "crack & sac". It's also a lot quicker in the shower hair is dry within 5 minutes. My wife was talking about wigs last night so all is not lost..
All the best to all of you gina.

[Karu]

Tried shaving and loved the feeling of it initially. Never had the opportunity to wear tights/stockings with them shaved, though. I hear I'm missing out... what feels the best against freshly shaved legs?

The next day, my legs are full of razor burns and also it itches like hell. It wold also sting when I felt a cold breeze past my legs.

My wife wasn't very happy about me shaving, either. I guess it doesn't go too well with my mini-beard lol.
Maybe next time for me!

[Stephanie47]

My wife is recovering lost hair from chemotherapy for breast cancer. She has not missed the lack of underarm hair and leg hair. She would love to remain hairless in those areas, which happens to some women. Sometimes she "hates" me because I have never had underarm hair or appreciable leg hair. I had really light and sparse leg hair when I was younger, but, nothing now. My daughter once asked me if I shave my legs. Nope, not a hair follicle on the back of my legs from thigh to calf. Now, if that was the case with my forearms that would be great, although arm hair obscures a lot of scars.....really visible with a summer tan.

[Lisa Roberts]

I too don't like hair. Chest, pits, bits! Clean and smooth. I shave my legs in Winter, the wife is not too keen on it though. Incredibly sensuous feeling to lather up and pamper myself. I love the feeling of a skirt slipping along my legs, oh my......
Then Summer arrives, hello leg hair, yech.
Lace and Smiles,
Lisa

i agree!

[Kandi Robbins]

There are zero societal concerns. The honest truth is that men shave their bodies. The other truth is that no one cares. I am about as hairy (or was) as one could possibly be. I got rid of all of it, my mustache, the hair on my hands, arms, legs, chest, back. I have my brows waxed and shaped. I have family and friends who have known me my entire life, when I got rid of all my hair, do you know what they all said? Not one single word. I've been swimming both hairy and hairless and no one said a thing. Now, what one's SO thinks is another issue, but anyone that blames society about shaving is simply making excuses.

[DIANEF]

I have shaped eyebrows, virtually hairless arms, zero chest and back hair, almost nothing on my legs, always clean shaved face, Comments? zero. Wife has never said anything (surprisingly...) I love a long soak in the bath, and spend half the time in there with a razor in my hand.

[ringedjohn]

I keep my legs and breasts/chest, armpits shaved. Have done so for years. I really do not like body hair.
