OT:Razors, wax or creams for shaving legs

[ACG]

I am sick and tired of shaving my legs, my hair just must grow fast. I am not hairy and most of my leg hair is really fair. But still. If I wax, don't I have to let the hair grow for awhile.

So what do you recommend. Thanks

First of all, stop with the Testosterone Lattes from Starbucks.

don't shave or wax your legs this winter. give it a few months you
might decide you don't need to (like me)

I used to wax, but it became such a pain to go to the salon, plus, you are right... there is the grow-out phase. I went back to shaving with a razor, but have found that using a shaving gel is important. I used to use soap, but no more! A good foaming shaving gel with a nice scent and a built-in moisturizer did wonders.
Once, in a pinch, I used my BF's Gillette foaming gel on my legs. It worked well, but then I smelled like a guy for a while. A clean-shaven guy!

I actually use an epilator, which is like waxing in that it rips hairs out at the root. When I go on a trip I don't shave or do anything else. And there's no messy wax.

OK now you are scaring me as soon as I hear the word rip and hair I feel faint.
