...A ladyshave...
Hi all,
I have very very fine and slow growing hair on my legs and underarms, which up until recently I hacked bits from my legs with tamed with a disposable razor.

I always seemed to cut my legs when shaving (probably because I always seemed to do it in a rush), so yesterday I decided to buy a ladyshave, to see if that would be better, it arrived today and is absolutely amazing!
It took under 5 minutes and there was absolutely no cuts or discomfort! (My mother also came in handy to check the back of my legs for any bits that I missed).

I thought I would share with you all in case someone was looking for something similar. Hope you're all well. X

The state of my legs since lockdown, I'd need a lawnmower to get them hairless.

I'm another who has never needed to shave my legs - not a hair to be seen on them.

Since the menopause though, my face needs constant attention if I'm not to turn into the bearded lady. Mind you, if I need a new career in the future, there might be a potential opening for me there ... ?

I did pluck my legs (using eyebrow tweezers) one day during lockdown when I was a bit bored. Quite a good result. Just think the threading looks nifty when those Indian girls do it.

nifty
Nifty?

Not the word I would use GrannyLaine!!

45 minutes and not one hair removed by yours truly.
It's back to the vintage Phillips razor for me.

I agree.

Why?

I think that is part of the problem, doing things in a rush instead of taking time for ourselves.

I find I'm always putting on nail varnish at the last minute and hoping it will dry and not smudge before I get to my destination.

Not that I'm going anywhere at the moment.

Why?

Because I formed an opinion on the replies I read.
