OT (sorta): The Leg Shaving Thread

[DrBee]

Are we the only three women on this board that don't do makeup???

No makeup for me either! See CC - you're not the only one While in Knoxville this weekend, I was sitting around talking to a bunch of women and they all swore that I had to be at the most 30 I'm 37 fast approaching 38.

I wasn't allowed make-up as a teen...which was fine by me...being a "tomboy" and all. I sure hated that word as a kid. Just because a girl is athletic doesn't make her a boy! Anywhooo...When I was 42 I had a guy that I work with, he's in another dept., tell me he thought I was like 23! You should have seen the look on his face...made me feel pretty good too. But over the last two years I've had the brown sun patches show up on my face. I should have at least worn some sun screen...so you younger ladies beware. My DH used to get so mad 'cause people used to assume I was his daughter (he is 12 yrs older than me though). Sigh, that doesn't happen any more though.

Sorry, but I do shave my legs practically every night. I just feel better if I do, and it is way more pleasant to rub lotion on my legs when they are shaved. I also shave down there quite a bit and not only because it looks and feels better. I believe that it is better in terms of hygene. Being so active, wearing short there is too much sweat there which I do not want to accumulate on my hair.

And YES to make up. I don't wear much but I certainly enjoy using good quality products. No make up durin exercise and very low on weekends.

I'm a shaver as well. I'm bare down there (yes...totally) and I shave my pits and legs as well. The most that I will go is about four days, and that's pushing it.

As for make-up, it's usually just a tiny bit of eyeshadow, mascara and lipgloss. DH hates it when I wear face make-up.


I should tell dh to take up cycling as an excuse to shave his legs. He already shaves his chest (claims that his bulletproof vest is too hot with a hairy chest) and his arms...though he has no excuse for that one other than not liking hair there.

I agree- you should get your DH to shave his legs. Hairless men ARE bette!!

...being a "tomboy" and all. I sure hated that word as a kid.

About a year ago, my then 5 year old nephew told my sister, "Aunt Lise is a tomboy." "huh", she replied, "Why do you say that?" His explanation? "Because she likes yucky stuff, like I do." Yucky stuff being that squishy goop kids play with, and interesting bugs, and who knows what else he was thinking of!

NOT because I ride a bike or run or anything athletic! Funny.

I do not want my hubby shaving his legs! He has really sexy legs, has olive skin, dark hair and yes there is hair on his legs. He's sexy!

As for the laser hair removal -- I'm signing up this fall. Yippee! I'm going to get my legs (from the knee down) done, my underarms and my bikini line. I have honey brown/blonde hair but the hair in the above listed areas grows out black and if I shave in the morning, I've got stubble by afternoon. I shave every day and sometimes the leggies twice a day. I don't have to shave the legs from the knees up -- the hair is blonde, soft and barely noticeable.

I don't wear makeup to cycle, but I do wear makeup to be out and about -- but not much. I hate heavy makeup on my skin. It takes me about 2 minutes to apply my makeup, so it's not much of time-consumer.

Yes to make-up. Yes to shaving legs. I do both for me! It makes me feel better about myself.
