    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...

    I wax for the past 7 years, but i want to get laser removal as well.... uuuuuurg that would help soooooooo much.

    Edit: i visit a beautician to wax me, she uses different types of wax to different spots so it doesn't hurt at all.

    Try the venus razon with the dry shave things on the top and bottom. It is expensive but so worth it, I am in love.

    Let me share with you the most amazing razor ever. The Gilette Fusion ProGlide Power Razor. (http://cvs.com/shop/product-detail/Gillette-Fusion-ProGlide-Power-Razor?skuId=796138)

    It is a men's razor. I always heard women should never use a man's razor, but this is what my fiance uses, and I thought "wth" and tried it. Ah.May.Zing. It is the smoothest shave I've ever had and after using it for like 3 years now (not the same cartridge, obv., just the razor itself lol) I have maybe cut myself like once or twice.

    IDK why they don't just make women's razors like this.

    im the same with the underarms when i lift my arms up to shave its like a deep hole so i have to go over the same area with my razor so many times till every hair is off uggh its a pain i know exactly what you mean. BUT ive noticed that if you try to relax your arm more when you lift it up it tends to fill up the area so that is what i have been doing lately it helps alot and much easier to shave

    Tricky, no, i am finding it easier. I don't have the hip joint pain as much and I ahum, can reach things better. But I always have trouble - i am REALLY REALLY blind, so unless I wear my glasses, I cut my legs to pieces.

    I use the Hydro 3 or 5 blade powered razor w/ Vo5 Conditioner as shave lotion.

    It works well and is cheap. Plus seems to help condition my skin.

    The razor is a men's razor, but it has this extra edge guard on the blades that helps prevent nicks and the power version - which means it vibrates - (LOL) seems to make it glide effortlessly across my skin.

    Toning will help but laser hair removal will solve all of your shaving problems. I have had my underarms and bikini (front and back) areas done and as a swimmer it has been life changing. Next stop my legs. I dream of the day when I can throw my men's razor away and never look back.

    Bahahahahahahaha!!!!! I'm there! ;)
    One previous poster gave a good description of how to get your armpits...the one with the hand between the shoulder blade...it gives it an "outward" curve kind of like a barbie doll. LOL

    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!

    I've never heard of this but I am going to try it, I have the worst time with underarms haha thanks!
