It's the bain of my life.
I'm of Jewish descent and have light olivey coloured skin and very dark thick hair (curly too, lucky me!!). I suspect I might actually be the hairiest person alive .
In the summer to feel confident in skirts etc I have to shave daily in the shower. This would be ok but I get poor results, my legs never feel smooth. I also have sensitive skin and get shaving rash so lather on sudocreme after shaving. I can't go in the sea if I've shaved that day as the salt irritates my legs, that's how bad it is! And when I do shave in the morning, by the early evening I'm all stubbly! It's even worse round my bikini line as the shaving rash is worse. The only time I get decent results is if the hair is really long when I shave!
I've tried waxing and I've tried epilating. Both work but re growth is within days and so not worth the pain or the expense, frankly.
I don't feel confident wearing swimsuits because of it (rightly or wrongly).
I have been looking at the Phillips lumea thing... My husband says I should try a single blade razor but I'm not keen!!
Any advice? Help me out fellow hairies.
