Courtney K and Kim Gravel…shaving 😉

The two are having a convo about how far up your legs our moms allowed us to shave!
I have never had this convo with any other woman!
And yes!

Me too!

My mom would absolutely NOT hear of shaving above my knee!

One day, I hauled off and just did it!

Must have been when I was about mid-20's!
What a rebel I was! NOT

Oh, that's funny... I, too, was not allowed to shave further than the knee. We've come a long way, baby, hahaha...

I vaguely remember something like this too but never understood what the big deal was if I did shave above my knee so did it anyway and mom never knew. And the world still went round and round. LOL

I was lucky. I didn't have hair on my legs above my knees but below them was a different story altogether...yikes.

@LTT1 @JudyL @Spacrazy

That's too funny because my mom told me the exact same thing.😃

I can remember whenever I was first allowed to shave my legs. I think I was in the 7th grade. I'd been a cheerleader and all the other girls had smooth, hair free legs. Mine were long and hairy lol. I was so embarrassed by this.

I can even recall the first razor she bought for me. It was a round, pink thing with one blade for women.😂

@cheriere - Think my first razor was an electric one.

SilleeMee · ‎05-22-2016

I always stole my dad's razor thinking he wouldn't notice...but then he did and got busted!

@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...

Never heard of this. Don't recall my mom ever telling me how far to shave. I always shaved my entire leg.

She was more concerned I would cut myself so she bought me an electric razor when I was 12 or 13. I switched to manual razors sometime in high school because they gave me a closer shave.

I do remember asking and getting advice from my mom and older sisters on shaving "up there" when I was wearing a bathing suit.

Enjoy the Weekend!
