@cheriere   Your post is funny ~ bless your heart, I feel your pain. At least you had a cute pink, girly razor. I'm so old we had to use our dads and the blades were separate and had to be installed in the razor and that whole process was dangerous and scary. Thank goodness those days are gone...


@Spacrazy  - I remember those kind of razors!  My dad had one.  Do you remember the little slot in the medicine cabinet that was supposed to be where you put used razor blades?  Always wondered how the heck do they get the razors out of there!

@Sugipine - We must have been posting about that slot at the same time.  I remember those!

Re: Courtney K and Kim Gravel…shaving 😉

I don't remember ever shaving above the knees.  I was happy not to have to.  I did have to do some bikini area shaving which I hated due to bumps and ingrown hairs.  Eventually, I turned to epilating except the bikini area.  That just hurt too much.  I could epilate my underarms, but not the bikini area.  I haven't needed to do any of that in years.

@JudyL   Oh, I had forgotten about that but I guess my mother must have done that because the whole process scared me ~ I was probably too busy tearing up tissue to put on my bleeding legs; hahaha.

Re: Courtney K and Kim Gravel…shaving 😉

My mother never discussed shaving with me.  When I was ready, I just grabbed an old fashioned razor and some soap and shaved my all of my legs and underarms.

 

I had a friend who was afraid to shave her legs, so we locked ourselves in our family bathroom and she sat on the edge of the tub.  I soaped her up and shaved legs too.

When I went to cosmotology school, I used a straight razor to shave a balloon smeared with shaving cream.  I never cut anyone or popped a balloon.

 

My mother always worked full time.  I was in charge at home, watching three siblings and could pretty much do anything with my body without permission.  ( pierced my ears, cut or color my hair or shave and buy tampons.

I have never had hair on my legs or underarms.  (It waited to show up on my chin and upper lip!)  When my friends started shaving their legs I too got an electric shaver -- and shaved nothing.  The joy of wanting to fit in!

I know I was allowed to shave above my knees.  If I didn't, the hair above my knees was shown when I was wearing hot pants. My mother was probably wearing hot pants too and looked better in them than I did 😛

Re: Courtney K and Kim Gravel…shaving 😉

I don't remember not being able to shave above the knee and never heard of it being an issue.  

 

I don't remember when I started shaving my legs, but when I did, it was the entire leg.  What's the deal about not shaving above the knee?

Re: Courtney K and Kim Gravel…shaving 😉

I was a swimmer, so I shaved all the way up! I think I started around high school. The one thing I wouldn't do is shave my arms. Some of the girls did, but we didn't have to.

 

 

 

 I never had any problem with my mom. She bought me a fancy little pink or purple razor, and I shaved in the shower with men's shaving cream!  Smiley Happy
