Ladies. . . .shaving issues
Options
So, ladies, have any of you who have had significant weight loss notice that it's harder to shave your legs & underarms? I've been noticing that my knees have lost their "fluff" and it makes shaving the front or behind the knee tricky. I routinely get in the sun and see areas that I've apparently missed for over a month?!? I've also noticed that my underarms are much more like arm PITS now and I keep finding a spot that must curve too much for the flat razor to hit (even though I go over the area like 20 times a shave). I was investigating an odd itch and found a patch that had apparently escaped the blade for weeks & weeks. GROSS!!!! When I was heavier and more "filled out" I never had this happen. Am I the only one or does anyone else notice that???
Silly thought for the kick off to a long weekend. Can you tell I don't want to be at work today?!? :-)

Shaving the backs of my knees terrifies me because of the tendons! I resort to using Nair or an electric razor on the 'scary' areas.0

Happy Friday!

It happened to me to when i lost 100 pounds. . . but once i started to tone more and my skin got tighter (like by my arm pits) i had less of that problem. . .

With respect to the legs, I usually wax so not much has changed for me there. But with respect to the pits... yes, yes, a thousand times YES. I noticed that dip/curve a while ago and was all... "what the heck?! I swear I shaved you effortlessly before!" Small price to pay, though, hahah.0

I can't say that I have that problem. Perhaps a different style of razor would help.0

I got 4 hairs on one leg and 3 on the other....aren't I the lucky one???0

I cut myself shaving my legs all the time...solely because I'm admiring my gams.
Everything else has been lasered off, so thankfully I'm not chopping up anywhere else.
Keep your legs straight and toes pointed when shaving the backs of your legs, that should help.
In the mean time, don't flex your calves and stare at them when shaving around your ankles...0 -
Seeing this thread makes me feel normal with my shaving Yes ladies I do shave my legs and I love the feeling of then after0

For underarms, put your arm behind your head, your hand between your shoulderblades. It makes the pit flat.
For knees (back or front), just keep your leg straight, bending at the waist.
Enjoy the weekend!0 -
I have the same issues with my "pits" lol!! I have to do some weird movements to get a "patch" that I constantly miss... the things we girls have to go through!! :laugh:0
