    It has everything you will need to know. One tip I can add, I get in grown hairs sometimes; if I pinch the skin around the hair and shave that spot it will remove the hair.

    Yes, but doesn't it remove some of your body also?

    LOL...and have you noticed that YOU ALL scared away the original poster???



    side note: to original poster.....sorry if I sounded a bit unwelcoming at the beginning of your post....I can see by your re-wording you were not meaning to come across 'creepy' but since it was your first post...and the subject matter etc etc....I jumped to conclusions.....please forgive me!

    Cuz the rest of this Thread is just cracking me up!!!!

    imdeanna- no need to apologize, looking back at it, I would have probably done the same thing as you did.

    Like I said, Ihave the norelco body groomer. It does a decent job, but doesn't get too close on the legs, but they look hairless and I don't get any irritation from it. I haven't shaved with a razor recently, but when I did, I got horrible razor burn for a week or two. That was with shaving gel and a brand new razor. Waxing is out of the question for me because it is too pricey. I figured I could buy an epilator for the price of one waxing session, but I hear many mixed reviews about the epilator.

    For now, I am going to try the body groomer, an electric shaver,and see if I am not holding it right to see if it will cut closer. Then next week I will try to shave one leg to see if any irritation occurs. I don't fear the pain of the epilators, but I hear alot of people complaining about ingrown hairs, which I think would occur with waxing as well.

    As a guy I sort of understand the bonding part of shaving, lots of freshly shaven legs on the group rides the last week or so, but I hate to shave my face. Trying to keep my legs shaved would be a royal PITA. I finally shaved the beard, but left a goatee. Kim hates it, so I'll clean shave the face in a week or so, but I doubt I'll ever convert to shaving my legs. Then let the beard grow again in the fall.

    I guess growing up with hairy rock stars and Magnum PI, hair was in, but now I seem to be in the minority. What is up with the guys that shave their chest and well everything. I have a riding buddy that use to be a body builder, that guy doesn't have a hair on his body. He shaves the top of his head to his ankles. Great guys, but not for me.

    Remember those old Bowflex commercials, where the machine not only makes you all buff and muscular, but shaves your chest too?

    Someday, I'll just be able to click my heels three times, say "home sweet home" and for the rest of my life I'll have no hair anywhere on my body except my head and my eyebrows...

    One can dream I suppose...

    I have to trim my eyebrows...
    and my nose hair
    and shave my TOES.

    How do you feel about mushrooms?
    Are you never more than two hours away from your next meal?
    Do you have a serious collection of things that don't really serve any purpose but you don't want to throw away (mathoms)?

    If you answered yes to all of those, you are probably a hobbit, albeit a very tall hobbit.

    It's true. My grandmother got less and less hairy as she got older. NO hair on the legs, nothing really under her pits either.
    And unlike men, at the age of 90, she had no hairs growing out of her ears or the top of her nose either
