Blade or Electric?

tototwo · ‎03-09-2010

Summer's here! and I'm wearing capris or bermudas every single day. And I'm having to shave my legs every single day. Ugh.

This time of year I get out my good ol' electric razor instead of using a blade every day. Just makes me wonder, what do other ladies prefer to use to shave their legs? What do you use: blade or electric?

Fortunately, I don't have to shave every day. But I shave my legs in the showrr with Skintimate shave gel and a full Gillette blade, not a disposable razor.

I was never able to get a close enough shave with an electric razor, which forced me to shave more often. Once I went back to a blade I did not have to shave as often.

I use a disposable razor. Electric never worked well for me. Thankfully, the hair on my legs does not grow as fast as it used to, so I don't have to shave every day like I used to!

I've been using an ipiltor on my legs for 20 years. The hair on my legs has thinned out a lot. I use a blade razor periodically too.

Electric for me if I had any hair to shave. But honestly, I prefer an electric epilator.

I've never even considered an epilator... everyone I know who has used one complained how painful it was. Guess I'm too much of a coward to even try it.

I get a really close shave with my old Remington ladies' shaver. Close enough, anyway.

When I turned 50, I gave myself the gift of time. No more tweezing brows nor shaving legs or under arms ! Found someone local who did electrolysis in her home for a reasonable price.

Since my hair was very dark and grew too fast, this saved me a lot of time and was well worth the time and money.

My leg hair stopped growing several years ago and migrated northward to my chin! I tried a laser hair removal gadget but it wasn't completely effective (I should get back on board and try it again). I shave my chin and face with whatever is handy, a disposable razor, a Finishing Touch Electric Razor, even my husband's razor if we're traveling and I forgot to pack mine. 🤷‍♀️😆
