I cant shave my legs without cutting them to pieces?

Please help! Everytime I shave my legs which is about once a week I cut myself and the blood doesnt try for a good hr or two. This means on a night out I have to change my outfit and put on jeans. I dont want to wax as the hairs are never long enough. I have tried all shaving foam and sensitive razor blades but nothing works. I want to have nice smooth legs not sore legs with blood stains. Any suggestions please. many thanks

Are you shaving with the hair growth and not against?

You really should give waxing a try. I bet you'd be surprised, they can get some pretty short hairs. You do it less often, it's all smooth and clean and no cuts.

You need a better razor the mans Mach 3 is very good and don't apply alot of pressure on the razor as you are shaving, hold it lighlty and guide it up your leg. Shaving gel also helps with this and take your time and do it slowly till you get the hang of it.

Good luck.

p.s the men's razor s tend to be a bit more pricy but well worth it.

The best thing (for me anyway) it to have a bath, and put conditioner on your legs and shave them. the oils in the conditioner help the blade move along your skin easier.

Have a drink to steady your hand.

Caution - more than one drink may make things worse, though!

use mens razors, they are made for the face so they work great for sensitive legs. Use soap and not foam or gel creams so your legs are not as slippery and you can see better what you are doing. also if you take a warm bath and soak your legs in the warm water or a while it makes your legs more suple so they wont be so likely to get cut. good luck!

Use the new blade-less razors. It comes with the foam that you just apply to your legs and let it sit for a few minutes. The razor is made of plastic. I use it and it is great. No cuts and no razor burn.

I suggest using something like a hair removing cream. It will leave your legs lovely smooth and silky.

Whilst your legs are sore, try using some pure Aloe Vera Gel, it will help to sooth them.

Have your legs lasered for laser hair removal - I had it done when I could not shave my legs as they were constantly covered in bites - and apart from a bit of discomfort you have hair free legs

Yeah you shoudl really try the waxing!! Last for ages!!

Try and let your hair grow for a couple of weeks and get waxed, its worth it and you wont need to worry for a few weeks. Whilst waiting for hairs to grow wear trousers, Lets face it its not really the weather for mini skirts. If your really against waxing then use a cream instead, immac cream good although slightly smelly!

I would imagine your legs may be slightly dry if they bleed so much, do you moisturise your legs? if not then do, make skin more smooth as well. Good luck

Why don't you try out a Hair removing Cream or Lotion?

They work very good. All you do is put in on and let is sit for 5-10 minutes. Wipe it off and rinse it with luke warm water.

Your hair won't grow back for at least 3-5 days.

I prefer using Nair. It's a great product.

Here's the website to read all about it.

You can get Nair at Wal-Mart, KMart, Walgreens....etc.

You can also try Veet, it is also a Hair Removel Cream but they also carry Wax. Bu you said you don't wan to wax because the hair isn't long enough.

Here's the Veet website.

i use a process called sugaring from the body shop, it works on really short hairs and helps to soften the hair as it grows back so everytime is a little less painful- can't say the 1st time doesn't hurt but surley its better tahn bleeding everywhere?

Sounds as though you have ingrown hairs - if you get little bumps on your skin before the hair pops through, when you shave it you cut the top off the little bump. Try exfoliating with a body scrub or a body buff every day. And maybe try waxing, Nads is very good, in a really thin layer - if you've never done it yourself maybe book one at a salon. And if you want to keep shaving make sure the razor is changed often

I am a man who just stumbled upon this question but I just wanted to say that it is admirable that you even attempt to do it. 99.9999999% of guys really dislike women with hairy legs ... or armpits for that matter..... If you have the odd nick we don't care just keep doing it. give me a leg with 40 stitches anytime over a leg with 40000000 hairs. I am just glad we don't have to do it. Doing the the face is bad enough

Try nair u never know waxing might hurt if u dont try!

I cant shave my legs without cutting them to pieces?

I read in some magazine to use hair conditioner as opposed to shaving foam and you know what it really works and the razor glides on through- give it a go! Just don't use your really expensive conditioner!

I cant shave my legs without cutting them to pieces?

i use soap on legs first, i do cut myself occas if im in a rush or press too hard, use an electric razor, or let it grow for a couple of weeks, wearing jeans, then use an electric epilator or have them waxed

I would recommend you use Ultra Shave, a dry shaving solution. It contains grape seed extract which is 15000 times stronger than vitamin E. It contains nothing but natural ingredients and is Parabens free.

Part of neck used to get nicked so often during shaving that it became impossible to shave without cutting myself, even with a safety razor. Since using Ultra Shave, my skin has completely healed and minor scarring has disappeared too.

Many people use it as a moisturiser after shaving as it contains great anti-ageing ingredients too.

exfoliate lots and lots. This will remove the dead skin cells. Also use like a ton of shaving cream. And shave in the direction of the hairs (not against) and change your razor blade after using it one or twice. Also let you legs soak in the bath for about 3-5 minutes before shaving. Make sure you donn't have any ingrown hairs too. If you do, pluck them out with a tweezer, use some cream to get rid of them or if you're not too screamish use a needle. Try hair removal cream too as this doesn't hurt and won't cut you. Hope I helped!

shaving cream always helps me

it helps everything go smoother

take your time!!!

and you shouldn't press down hard --- the blade should do the work not you!

also always shave against hair growth --- aka towards yourself

moisturiser after shaving prevents in grown hairs
