Legs topic
Moderator: Moderator Team
Right guys an girls maybe sensitive topic to some of you but I'm actually thinking of shaving my legs this year.
Few reasons
1. I cut my legs bad last year had issues with ingrown hair
2. It was hard to clean my cuts and the hairs would be hard to clean
So I've got sensitive skin and I rash easy, so does anyone on here suffer with sensitive skin?
What did you do or what's your methods.
I don't see it as smoothness just want to try make sure my legs recover better and I don't have issues like last year as it was hard to keep my cuts clean with leg hair
Thanks

Wax.
It lasts 6 or so weeks. Comes out soft and thinner than normal, so it'll neither have razor burn, stubble, nor look bad when it grows out.
It doesn't hurt (you get used to the initial pull, the 1st time you do it, everything after you'll barely notice).

Plan B...nut up.
Seriously though, I have a guy a ride with that refuses to admit he shaves. Instead he bought electric beard clippers and just goes that way without a guard. Leaves a little stubble so no ingrown hairs I guess too.

Do you have to do any prep work like exfoliating the day before?
Thinking about getting a 1/2 leg wax to save money and pain, then do the thighs myself with a razor because it's easier than the calves and less important.

I shave in a hot bath. Makes for serious clean up, but with the heat I don't get any ingrowns. I tried waxing but it only lasted a few weeks for me. Guess I am hight T.

Anyone tried Lazar Hair removal ? Works for my wife, after several treatments, the hair is gone and she no longer has to shave.

Welp, that's out the window as my legs get a tanline from January through... next January.

+1 on the hot bath being the ticket. I like to add low light, candles and a glass of merlot.

I shave 1-2 times a week. in the shower, I've found the Dove Shaving Gel for sensitive skin works wonders + a Schick 5 blade razor. Never have 2 much trouble with in growns.
Getting lots of cuts just sounds like you're not very good at shaving tbh. Practice could help with that.

He's not saying he cut his legs while shaving... if I'm reading it correctly, he cut his legs, and was bothered by leg-hair when recovering.
My vote would be to do more work on not-falling-down. Then you probably don't need to worry about shaving.
But... let's be real... you don't have to make excuses... you're a cyclist. it's OK to want to shave the legs. No shame in that (around other cyclists).

Nothing in particular the day before, but in general I make it a practice to scrub my body when I shower (the whole body, legs especially). Not just for helping the hairs that are growing out, but to shed old skin. Use a pair of these, you'll get addicted to the feeling of a good scrub.
And yes, you can get them in black if you're not willing to put on the more feminine colors.
