Leg Shaving...damn

[yourmomgoestocollege]

Show is not til March but a buddy of mine who competes mentioned that I should start shaving my legs now for two reasons. The ingrown hairs will become less frequent the longer I shave and I need the practice as it is not the easiest thing in the world to do. I have never shaved my legs. I have alot of hair on them.

Any thoughts? Is he crazy?

Sounds right about the ingrown hairs and practicing. If you have that much hair you might want to trim it down with clippers before shaving with a razor though.

 

[yourmomgoestocollege]

So you think I should start now as well? I thought he was screwing with me because he knows my wife is going to make fun of me (donkey punch will take care of that) when I do it.

i shaved my arms for the first time ever two nights ago and it took me over 30 minutes. But i found out i am way more vascular than i thought.

Yeah it takes awhile the first time you do it. You will get much quicker. I have been doing chest and arms for quite sometime. I like the look better as well. I think it does help with tracking progress as you can see the definition much better.

I guess I will go a chopping down the forest on my legs tonight. I would assume a healthy dose of lotion afterwards will help?

My wife is gonna ride me like the village bicycle. Oh well, should be fun!

Dude, I always start shaving two months out from a contest for exactly the same reasons: 1) the ingrown hairs are a beyatch...they hurt like hell and are ugly; and 2) you get the hang of it and don't dice your legs up. Tell him to use a gel foam and buy women's (not men's) razors. I have a show in 10 weeks, started shaving last week and my legs look like I got in a fight with a cat!

 

[yourmomgoestocollege]

Thanks guys! I guess I will give it a go. Can't be all that bad.

wax that mess man.. commit

 

[todoveritas]

I forgot to add. Douse your freshly shaved skin with alcohol or astringent immediately after shaving to cut the bacterial growth. It will cut down the ingrown hairs significantly. Also, you might need to get your girlfriend to shave your arse and hard to reach parts. Can be kind of fun, though!

The problem is that you get the unsightly hairline if you dont fully commit. So, you have to do the bunghole. The funny thing is that it will significantly change the sound of your farts. My buddy (non-bodybuilder) thought it was so funny that he did it himself... You will enjoy some laughs, trust me!

Did I just say that out loud?

 

[todoveritas]

TMI stew!!! Tried waxing hair around that area, ONCE...I saw god when she ripped it off...Not for the faint of heart, to say the least.

 

[Beastlike substance]

have you ever tried Nair for men? smells like shit, but it works...

Yeah that shit burns the hell out of my skin. I guess that is the point, but I get a bunch of red blotches from that shit.

 

[jmead]

nair for men raped me, it literally fucked me in every individual hair pore on my arm..i looked like i had drawn dots on my arm from all the ingrown hairs/red bumps i hate that stuff

i have real sensitive skin apparently, be sure and use a fresh razor for each leg, if not 2 per leg.. i went through 3 the first time i shaved my legs

 

[triggernigha]

wax it man - lasts a whole lot longer and very few ingrowers

or there is laser, its good too

 

[Selene]

Nair is very good product, waxing will last longer, but you will still get ingrowns, in order to avoid them, rub area with a loufah sponge in order to open hair follicals

good luck, maybe get your wife to shave you

 

[b_light]

id advise clipping them down with trimmers first then shave off the stubble thats left.

 

[healthfrk76]

wax that stuff man, at least on the chest. i swam for 15 years and have been shaving my entire body for a while now. if your hair is really course like mine your gonna bleed like mad from every hair folical if you shave pretty frequently. i suggest waiting every 4-5 days if your a hairy beast like me. and yes clip legs or any other really long hair before, or youll be at it for hours

My exact opinion ^^^ use trimmer for beard...I am not at all hairy..BUT I use it for forearms...http://www.conair.com/piece-haircut-p-140.html

 

[b_light]

i shave chest/pits/chest now and trim leg hair, looks and feels much better.

I think it's gay.

Re: Leg Shaving...damn UPDATE

Well I went through with last night and mowed the legs. I used the trimmer first and then went back with the razor. I tell ya I feel like a 5 year old.

A couple things I noticed: 1) I have much better definition than I thought. 2) A towel does not smoothly go down my leg when drying after the shower. Kinda weird!

 

[trickster6487]

trim it down, then shave the day after that way your skin isnt irritated alot. for the first few days its gonna be a pain in the ass but after that u get use to it. i have been shaving my lower legs for years bc of getting taped for football but never shaved my thighs until the other day.

edit: double post

 

[Svengali]

Just did a full shave today. Smooove as butta.

 

[nzrodney]

Once you get your body hair under control you can tidy up real quick with an electric shaver. Not as good as blade shaving but not a bad alternative & less ingrowns because it does not cut down as low as shaving.

 

[BigGuyPHX]

I have nothing good to say about this thread...

WTF?

 

[thebadguy54]

laser.
