    That's about right for me too. When I shave, I prefer to use a Good News Razor. Any other nicks me. And I shave dry. No water. No soap. Then I apply a nice body lotion afterwards.

    I use the venus embrace with 5 blades and shaving cream. I'm usually good for 2 days with that. Then the 3rd day I'm getting prickly and need to shave again.

    I use smooth away. I like it because you don't have to time it with a shower or anything (I'm a mom of two kids so my showers need to be quick!) It works pretty good, but just be SURE to use moisturizer afterwards or you can get irritation.

    Schick Intuition. It's the one with the big bar of soap around the blades. I love it. Never have razorburn, and it's much quicker.

    I have exremely sensitive skin so it took me awhile to find something that didn't irritate my skin and actually allowed me to shave every couple days. I use the Schick Intuition Plus (its the one that has the moisturizing bar surrounding the razor) I love it. They have one specifically made for sensitive skin, however, that irritates my skind BADLY (kind of weird huh?) but the one that is pomegranate "flavored" is awesome and works great for me. They are expensive though. Like $30 for 6 razors :noway:

    venus brand for razors are my personal preference. i also use conditioner instead of shaving cream. you can buy inexpensive stuff like suave, it'll last longer because you only need a small amount, and it leaves your legs feeling more moisturized. learned this trick from a suitemate in college!

    Depends on the parts I am shaving...legs love my Venus embrace. Pits and nether regions I use men's Schick aqua. Has a moisture strip on the top and I like the way it maneuvers the sensitive areas.

    I have a Gilette Fusion Power (men's razor - my partner and I bought them around the same time so that we could split the cost of a pack of blades!) and I use my normal hair conditioner or Cetraben oil, depending on how dry my legs are. I tend to have noticeable dark stubble 24 hours after, and both shaving and leaving them au naturalle triggers my eczema, so today I am going for an initial consultation for laser hair reduction. Can't wait!

    I shave everything every day in the shower. Even I shave my arms!! Just I don't shave my head.

    <-- natural blond. I shave my parts once a week cause it really isn't needed more often than that. Oh and I use some sort of Venus razor. I don't pay attention.

    I use conditioner. The hair still grows back the next day, but the hair is softer not so prickly. Try it . It may take a couple of days to see or feel the difference. Hopes this helps.

    I've never needed to shave my legs :-D No I'm not hairy and just let it grow... the hairs are very fine and light so you can't see them.

    At times I'm pretty good about using the epilator. Once you're used to it, it hardly hurts at all, and it lasts for a couple of weeks. If I have something special planned, I shave the remaining fine hairs, so the skin is super smooth.

    I alternate between an epilator & wax - painful but worth the results as I don't have time to spend messing about with a razor every few days.

    Pretty much the same here ... I epilate my calves because if I don't, I get really coarse dark hairs (even though I'm dark blonde naturally) whose roots you can see through my extremely pale skin, so the epilator is the only thing that helps me with that (plus the hair grows in much thinner). Everything else I shave and I use whatever I can get my hands on (usually Gilette for me) :D I totally don't mind a two day stubble and my DH doesn't either, so it's all good :D

    I use the Schick Intuition. It's great. Quick, easy, and nice on your skin.

    Shave every day for the most part. Have tried Nair and such... razor and shave cream works best for me.

    I shave the day before my bf comes to visit or that I know I'm going out in shorts or something. I use a double blade razor from CVS (like the Venus one but cheaper) and shaving cream. I'm good until the 3rd day when it starts to look bad again. :)

    I've found that using a man's razor is waaaaay better than a woman's razor. I think I have a mach 3? Super manly, lol. It works really well though. I shave every other day as a personal preferance but could go a 3rd day. I hate anything but nice and smooth.

    Some people can shave one day and be hair-free for days after. I am not that lucky. I shave usually every other day with a razor and deal with a little stubble on the off day.

    I've never tried anything like Nair. I always forget to buy it. I tried an at-home wax once and it was a disaster. I'm too poor to go to a salon. Plus, the growing-out period would drive me nuts.

    I shave every other day and use a razor and shaving cream. It only takes me about 5 minutes and I like having smooth legs, so it's worth it to me.
