First time-Shaving my legs!

[Nicolette01]

Well girls, I finally mustered up the nerve to shave my legs. Just to remind everyone, my wife does not know about my heels and hose dressing. I tried a few times to tell her that my neighbor shaves because he is a runner, although I am not athletic, it is a very clean look. I also wear the under armour type thermal wear for winter riding on my motorcycle. I told my wife that the underwear pulls at my body hair and it felt a bit uncomfortable and that I was considering shaving. Well, almost a week has gone by and no response from my wife, so I decided to shave the legs. When I approached her this morning, I asked her how she liked the clean look on my legs. She then replied by saying that she couldn't believe that I didn't talk to her before doing that, and that now we couldn't take a vacation anywhere warm soon because I couldn't wear shorts. Then she even said something like what are you going to do next, go transvestite on me?? She also asked if I had shaved the rest of my body, and I said no, I would like you to shave the rest of me. All in all, it went worse than I expected, she also said oh great, you have less hair on your legs than I do. (she hadn't shaved in a few days). I guess I may as well enjoy this look while I can, maybe it will grow on her. I hope it does.

That seemed to go relatively well at least she didnt threaten divorce over it,(mine did) There is no better feeling than shaved legs especially with hose. way to go isw what I say..

[Nicolette01]

Divorce over shaving your legs? Wow!

[Dalece]

drivininheels Sister I feel with you except i try and keep my whole body shaved. It started on Haloween when I went to a rocky horror picture show. My wife does not know that I crosdress and at times it is hard to hide. I do have a place to go near home to change from ugly male to beautiful lady. and it is a big problem keeping up with the growth lot of work. As like you my wife would not understand. Oh I won first place costume contest at the play. Dalece

Divorce over shaving your legs? Wow!

It's just that she knew why I had shaved them she had caught me too many times and that was the last straw so-to-speak. So I got the great ultimatum.I have not stopped I just went on the road..(truck driver)

[JoAnnDallas]

I get a rash on my legs and chest when it either get real muggy in the summertime or real dry in the winter time. So I use a lot of mortizier on my legs and chest. When I started shaving my legs and chest, wife asked me why I shaved them. I told her the mortizier was caking on the hair and making me itch, so I shave off the hair and no more itch. She said OK and that was it. Later when I told her about my otherself, she said at least your leg/chest shaving will have another purpose.

Here in Lake Havasu Az, it is short shorts 9 months of the year,
I keep my legs (Nair'ed) all the time, nobody ever says anything, OH YEAH ! a check out girl at K-Mart said when November and long pants came, "I miss your legs"
That made my Day big time.

My wife occasionally comments about the fact that I have less hair on my legs than her. But I've been doing that for close to two years now and it helps with a couple of issues, similar to what JoAnn has said. I don't shave my chest because 8 to 10 hairs just isn't worth the effort :) I'm also hoping to get back on my bike this year, and furry legs just don't cut it, even if only commuting to work.

I dream of shaving my legs! It may only be a dream, but I do!

[Jenna Stunned]

Ouch. Well at least getting them shaved is all behind you. How does it feel??
I would love to shave my legs but my SO is not ready for that yet. Hopefuly before the spring. lol.

[Nicolette01]

I was actually considering shaving them for a while now especially for the clean look. I really do like them better shaved, since the hair on my legs was quite irregular, and I thought it looked dirty anyway.The stockings feel so much sexier now.

[HalloweenDragon]

I love to shave! To me, nothing beats smooth, silky skin. I've had good luck with past female and male lovers that enjoyed, even encouraged, my crossdressing. I shave everyday, and honestly the only hair I have is my long black hair on the top of my scalp! I enjoy stockings also, I do have a foot fetish..., but a naked body is a turn on! Can you tell I'm a Scorpio?! :D

It was either that or leaving the cap off the toothpaste.

[Seville]

Never had leg hair until Dr changed my cholesterol medicine.
BANG!!! Now my legs are covered with fine black hairs...YUCH!!!
I HATE IT! Considering getting legwaxing, its really
disgusting!:thumbsdn::thumbsdn::thumbsdn:

[androgyne]

I'm not sure what the big deal is about shaved legs. Many athletes do it and many younger guys shave everything today, including their pubes. Give your wife some time, she'll come around ;)

[Angie G]

That's to bad my wife has no problem with my shaved legs or my wearing a bra when I dress boy am I lucky. Hope thing get better for you hun :hugs:

Not just enjoy while it lasts, but keep them shaved and who knows, she just might warm up to the idea of a clean-shaven you. Then, you can consider shaving your arms and maybe even waxing. Wouldn't that be fun!

[Nicolette01]

I am really hoping that she comes around on this one, because, not only for the obvious reason, I am actually enjoying the look and feel of clean shaven legs. BTW, I used my normal razor, a gillette fusion, the shave was very smooth with no cuts or nicks. It is a 4 or 5 blade shaver, so for a first time shave, it would clog up very quickly-had to do a lot of rinsing. I do know that the blades are a bit pricey, though.

[franvonceder]

I have shaved my legs for nearly 2 years. There is nothing like the feeling of smooth legs. They feel so much cleaner! Putting on stockings is absolutely fabulous - no hairs sticking through the weave or the site of clumps of hair underneath.

My wife likes my shaven chest and back and not too adverse to my shaven legs. I feel quite lucky!

Love

Fran

[Genifer Teal]

it would clog up very quickly-had to do a lot of rinsing..

Here is a tip: I found that by stroking the razor backwards accross my leg after each forward pass, most of the hairs unclogged them self and stuck to my leg. Not completely clean, but I got a lot more use before a thorough cleaning was required.

People might ask why you shave your legs if you kep them that way during the summer. I get asked all the time.

Thing is, if you do not keep them shaved, the hair regrowth will itch like a SOB at some point.

And also, from now on, shaving them will be easier, you will just be removing stubble instead of long leg hair.

[AstraJupiter]

I started shaving my pubes and fishing tackle without telling my other half. It took about a week before she noticed.

I didn't go out of my way to hide it,just acted normally.When she did find out and asked why,I explained that I had heard that it made sex better (it is more sensitive now so I think it is true.
Also,when using public conveniences (RESTROOMS,JOHN whatever euphemism fits) it saves having to search around in the dark recesses for the equipment.

I used a razor then,but now I use an epilator on the pubes and under the arms.But I use hair removal cream on the "equipment".

I epilate once a week,and the "other parts " about once a month or when they feel too long.

I also had a full body waxing at a beauty salon that my wife uses to have her eyebrows shaped.She was a bit surprised when I told her that I was going to get it done.I told her that in the summer (when we have one) I get all hot and sticky. My other half came with me to see how it was done.I did like the feeling of a clean body and I was very sensitive to the touch after the body had calmed down.The results on the top of the legs was disappointing,even when the professional did it.The skin retained the bumps where the hair was removed.

She said it was so easy, she could do it.I did try to make another appointment but my wife objected,so I bought a home waxing system for her to try to "do it yourself",with very patchy results.In between her laughing and joking about it,she was very hesitant about peeling off the tape and she would stop sometimes halfway,and it was very painfull.!!!

We tried this a few times but the results weren't very satisfactory so we stopped doing it.

But I intend to try having them done again,as I hope to experiment with wearing more female underwear next year.

I have never tried shaving the legs,as it seems to be more difficult than on the face,and even now, at 56 ,I still cut my face at least once a week.

I hope to post again.

My wife loves the laser hair removal on my back and chest (Treatment 4 this month), but she kinda freaked when I shaved my legs. Its been almost a year now, and she really loves it. No turning back.

Hugs!

like Astra, I use an epilator it hurts like @#$*:sad: the first few times but it gets better, much smoother and longer lasting than shaving...the only other problem is when it grows back sometimes the hair grows under the skin and then I use exfoliant gloves (like a loofah) in the shower to get the skin covering off. Found I couldn't shave the underarms as I got a rash, so I use a small electric hair groomer to cut it as short as possible. With the pubes, shaving was a no-no:nono:, the pimples were unbelievable :surrender so they get the same as the arms. And it's a must to only go in the direction of the hair fall not against it to keep zits to a minimum.

No disrespected intended, but it is times like this I can appreciate being single!

And when I DO meet someone and they see my legs are shaved it sets a standard of "That's how it's always been". That's how it's GOING to stay too.

Notice I'm still single LOL.....probably be that way a long time right now.

Being single seems to make this a lot easier, I would imagine. I wish that I was dressing from a younger age, then, I could have let my wife know about it before we were married.

[Mayliis]

smooth legs...

Hi dears...I have shaved my legs once and today i'm gonna do it again i just love the feeling of my feets :)

I started by shaving around my nipples. My wife didn't notice. Then one day I decided my chest hair was next so I shaved it. While I was at it I shaved my underarms too. My wife noticed my clean chest very quickly and wanted to know why, she didn't notice my underarms. I told her I never really liked body hair and even though it was very light I wanted to see how it looked and felt. I liked it. She told me I shouldn't shave it I should have it waxed. I said okay. She said she would call a spa but not the one she and my son go to. He has had his chest waxed before in the summer for a clean look. She asked me if I wanted anything else waxed since she was calling. I told her I would like my legs waxed too. She said okay and called. It was a very nice experience although it did sting some on my chest. I have been back to the spa a couple of more times and the last time I had my back done.

When I came out to my wife about my dressing she finally understood why I was having the waxings, why I had rhinoplasty last year and why I have been withdrawn to a certain degree these past couple of years. For me anyway, this was the reason why I was doing all this.

I am living on my own now and can't afford to go to the spa as often as I would like so I have been shaving every few days.

It feels so nice and especially after I lotion my body.

[Wendy me]

lol i love to say get over it and just shave them and keep them shaved .... but truth is it's something that when we do for the first time is quite the step ..... and although most don't notice or care our so's do care or notice .... so it can be a big deal although we tend to make more of it than we need to .. my legs are shave year round and i don't hide them ...... lol the only thing that relay got a comment was my arm pits shaved.....

shaving other than our faces can be a big step forward .... it can be scarer than we relay need it to be ......

[KelliBennett]

Wow can't go someplace warm on vacation? Well I guess I shouldn't tell you I just got back from the Caribbean just over a week ago. I spend the entire trip waxed and/or shaven.

Now my wife doesn't know I dress, would freak if she did. But she hasn't minded me being hairless for almost 4 years now. (I wasn't that hairy to begin with). Her only complaint is my chest. She prefers it, but doesn't make a fuss.

Also I should note that when out sitting in the sun getting a tan. I wear only a speedo. (Regular shorts when out and about and swim trunks when in the ocean.)

Now being covered in oil, having hips like mine, and hairless, and a slight build for a guy. Well I know for sure a few guys were confused at first glance. But the entire trip both on the boat and on shore, not one person said anything or questioned it.

Other then the formal dinners I was in short the entire time.

[Celeste]

The package is just not complete for me without shaving everywhere.Espeacially legs.The feel of a dress through nylons is incredible if I pay close attention to detail on my legs.I've found my best results come from soaking in the tub with a large amount of bath oil. I'll soak for about 10 minutes with the water being hot not scalding then use a brand new blade in my razor trying to make one pass do the trick. With this method I dont wreck the top layer of skin,it stays sensitive and dosn't come back for 10 days.

[jazmine]

my wife can't STAND,, my legs in the summer months when I let them get hairy.

[kim85]

I was shocked when my SO first shaved his legs but i know that from when ive worn tights you cant do it with leg hair so it had to go it doenst really bother me that much its his body he/she can do what she wants as long as she leaves my bits alone :devil:

[Stormgirl]

No cuts? I nicked my legs heaps first time shaving them and then you get the red bumps! Argh!

[Scotty]

People get used to it, unless YOU make an issue of it very few people will, save for the wife...

Don't get me wrong, being Single means I can do what I want but it means I'm alone a lot too and that sucks too......

Being single seems to make this a lot easier, I would imagine. I wish that I was dressing from a younger age, then, I could have let my wife know about it before we were married.

I started shaving my legs when I got out of the NAVY and got my own place to live. I haven't stopped since. Now they are smooth and very few hairs have grown back and it is easy to keep clean. I just recently started to shave the rest of my body and wonder why I didn't do this sooner. My wife doesn't like it too much, she says that she liked my chest hair. I think it was her way of me staying a guy. How many girls have you seen with alot of chest hair. She also won't let me shave my mustache off, damn. My problem is shaving my back hair. I told my wife of my dressing before we were married and have just come out to my kids. My daughter tells me when my back hair get long and she will shave it for me. I really love her for it.:love:
